Barack Obama read a fragment of Eminem's hit song Lose Yourself
The American rapper Eminem welcomed the 44th President of the United States of America Barack Obama on stage during his speech at Kamala Harris' election rally in Michigan. The politician surprised the audience by performing a verse of the star's famous hit song Lose Yourself as his speech.
After being introduced by the performer, the 63-year-old Obama admitted: "I've been to a lot of rallies, so I don't usually get nervous, but I felt a little nervous following Eminem." The former president then read the lyrics to a standing ovation. The video featuring the politician quickly went viral, while the unofficial music video for the original Lose Yourself track has over 1.3 billion views on YouTube.
A fragment from "Lose Yourself":
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drops bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
Obama ended his speech humming the melody of the famous song and told the cheering crowd: "I love Eminem". Introducing the politician a few minutes earlier, Eminem explained that he had "recorded a few things I'd like to say." "I'm here tonight for a couple of important reasons," the rapper began, according to People. "As many of you know, the city of Detroit and the entire state of Michigan mean a lot to me, and with this election coming up, the spotlight is on us more than ever, and I think it's important to use your voice, so I encourage everyone to come out and vote, please.
The artist, who previously supported Obama's political career, also endorsed Biden's candidacy in 2020. The day before the last election, the rap icon released an official campaign video with the song Lose Yourself in the background, which he signed: "One opportunity... #vote".
The star was highly critical of Harris' opponent, Donald Trump. In October 2017, Eminem performed a nearly five-minute freestyle rap at the BET Awards, where he mocked the 45th president of the United States, who was completing his first year in office.
