Eminem Goes 'Kamikaze' In Surprise New Album With Attack On 'Agent Orange' Trump
Eminem dropped a surprise new album late Thursday called āKamikaze,ā which picks up right where some of his recent work left off: with a verbal attack on President Donald Trump.
The rapper claims in the opening track that āAgent Orangeā sent the Secret Service to investigate him after āThe Storm,ā a blistering anti-Trump cypher he taped for the 2017 BET Awards. In that one, Eminem called Trump a ākamikaze that will probably cause a nuclear holocaust,ā a line that likely inspired the name of the new album.
āI think itās workināā Eminem raps on āThe Ringer,ā adding:
These verses are makinā him a wee bit nervous
And heās too scared to answer me with words
āCause he knows that he will lyrically get murdered
But I know at least heās heard it
āCause Agent Orange just sent the Secret Service
To meet in person
To see if I really think of hurtinā him
Or ask if Iām linked to terrorists
I said: āOnly when it comes to ink and lyricistsā
Tried not 2 overthink this 1... enjoy. 🖕#KAMIKAZE Out Now - https://t.co/ANw73KbwMt pic.twitter.com/qfQoTYBTUy

In the BET performance, Eminem also told fans he was drawing a line in the sand. If any of them liked Trump, they should stop listening to him.
āAnd if you canāt decide who you like more and youāre split on who you should stand beside, Iāll do it for you with this,ā he said, before offering his middle finger and a āfuck you!ā
In the new track, Eminem seems to have some regrets over that part:
But if I could go back, Iād at least reword it
And say I empathize with the people this evil serpent
sold the dream to that heās deserted
āKamikazeā is available now for both purchase and via the various online streaming services.
