Eminem tears into Trump in freestyle rap: "Racism's the only thing that he's good for"

Eminem launched a fierce attack on Donald Trump in "The Storm" - his freestyle which was broadcast at the BET Hip Hop Awards last night.

The rapper unleashed an explosive 4.5 minute cypher from a carpark in Detroit, slamming the US President as a "bitch", a "racist" and a "kamikaze".

Celebrities including J Cole, Sean 'Diddy' Combs and Colin Kaepernick have praised the freestyle on social media.

Here are 7 of the fiercest lines:

1) "A kamikaze that will probably cause a nuclear holocaust"

Full: "We better give Obama props 'cause what we got in office now is a kamikaze that will probably cause a nuclear holocaust while the drama pops, and he waits for s—- to quiet down, he'll just gas his plane up and fly around till the bombing stops.”

2) "Racism's the only thing he's Fantastic 4/Cause that's how he gets his rock off and he's orange"

3) "Trump, when it comes to giving a s*** you're as stingy as I am"

4) 'Cause he cannot withstand the fact we're not afraid of Trump'

Full: “That's why he wants us to disband cause he cannot withstand the fact we're not afraid of Trump. Walking on egg shells, I came to stomp. That's why he keeps screaming, 'Drain the swamp,' cause he's in quicksand.”

5) "Who's going to pay for his extravagant trips?"

Full: “He says he wants to lower our taxes, then who's going to play for his extravagant trips back and forth with his fam to his golf resorts and his mansions?”

6) "To him, you're zero cause he don't like his war heroes captured"

“He says you're spitting in the face of vets who fought for us you b———-, Unless you're a POW who's tortured ... cause to him you're zero cause he don't like his war heroes captured. That's not disrespecting the military.”

7) The rest of America stand up/We love our military and we love our country but we f***ing hate Trump"

The freestyle's title is a reference to Trump's alarming and ominous comment made at a dinner with senior members of the US military.

Following his remark about the meeting potentially being "the calm before the storm", a former ally and senior Republican warned that hs recklessness could put the US "on the path to World War III."

"He concerns me," Tennessee senator Bob Corker told the New York Times. "He would have to concern anyone who cares about our nation."
