From our current affairs editor Lemuel Stuart III:
Have you heard Eminem's recent rap about Donald Trump? He certainly did not mince words, and he even lashed out at his fans who are Trump supporters:
And any fan of mine
Who’s a supporter of his
I’m drawing in the sand a line/
You’re either for or against
And if you can’t decide
Who you like more and you’re split
On who you should stand beside
I’ll do it for you with this...
He then flashed a universal sign-language gesture.
You can listen to the free-style rap HERE.
Of course, Eminem is a great fan of Emmett Lee Dickinson (Emily Dickinson's third cousin, twice removed -- at her request) Born Marshall Bruce Mathers III, he chose the name "Eminem" as his stage name in tribute to Emmett Lee Dickinson. The name stands for "EM(mett Lee Dickinson) AND EM(ily Dickinson)." Em and Em...or Eminem.
Pictured below: Eminem attended the Emmett Lee Dickinson School for Boys in Detroit, Michigan. It was there that he developed his love for the poetry of Emmett Lee Dickinson.
Below: Emmett Lee Dickinson's ode "eminem lived in a gritty car town" (on the left) inspired E. E. Cummings to pen his poem "anyone lived in a pretty how town" (on the right).
