As of this writing, with just two days after it was released, the audio posted on YouTube already gained a whopping 5.6 million views. Entertainment Weekly noted its duration and said the rap takes eight minutes to sing. It also listed down all the topics Eminem mentioned in the whole course of the song. The first four minutes was not at all political until he hit it, questioning all the people who are planning to vote for Donald Trump.
The Guardian highlighted some of Eminem's words in his new release, focusing on the lines "Run the faucet, I'ma dunk / A bunch of Trump supporters underwater / Snuck up on 'em in Ray Bans in a grey van with a spray tan / It's a wrap, like an Ace bandage." A few lines later, he adds: "Consider me a dangerous man / But you should be afraid of this dang candidate / You say Trump don't kiss ass like a puppet? / 'Cause he runs his campaign with his own cash for the funding? / And that's what you wanted? / A fuckin' loose cannon who's blunt with his hand on the button / Who doesn't have to answer to no one? / Great idea!"
Eminem says this is just a pre-taste of an album that he is about to release soon. It has been three years since Eminem released an album or a song.
