Barack Obama Raps Lose Yourself After Endorsing Kamala Harris Alongside Eminem in Detroit

At a rally supporting Kamala Harris in Detroit on October 22, just prior to the 2024 presidential election, former President Barack Obama appeared alongside rapper Eminem. The event was held to energize voters, particularly in the battleground state of Michigan. Eminem, a native of Detroit, began the evening by addressing the crowd, emphasizing the importance of using one’s voice in the election and encouraging everyone to vote. He stated, "I don’t think anyone wants an America where people are worried about retribution or what people would do if you make your opinion known," expressing confidence that Vice President Harris would uphold the freedom to express diverse opinions. This is prepared by SSP.

After Eminem’s introduction, Obama took the stage in a playful manner, admitting to feeling nervous following in the rapper’s footsteps. He then engaged the audience by rapping lines from Eminem's iconic 2002 hit "Lose Yourself." Mixing humor with sentiment, Obama recited, "My palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy, vomit on my sweater already, Mom’s spaghetti," to an enthusiastic response from attendees. He further quipped about anticipating an Eminem performance, indicating the surprise and excitement of the moment.

This reunion was not the first collaboration between Eminem and Obama; the rapper endorsed the Biden-Harris ticket in 2020 and has previously been a vocal critic of Donald Trump. Eminem's comments during the rally underscore his persistent concern about protecting the freedom of speech and fostering a political environment where diverse views can thrive.
