Eminem's 'Campaign Speech' Is Word Wizardry

Eminem's 'Campaign Speech' Is Word Wizardry
mp3 wax

It's rare that I dislike an Eminem track, and this one is no different. Recently, Eminem came out with a new track that is nearly eight minutes long called "Campaign Speech" which made references to social aspects such as Trayvon Martin, Colin Kaepernick , and of course, Donald Trump and his supporters. He sent out a tweet which read "Don't worry I'm working on an album! Here's something in the meantime." and attached the link to the song:

Eminem is famous for attacking other celebrities, especially the ones he does not like. While other people are concerned about being politically correct, Em, says what he thinks, and doesn't let the thoughts of others influence his own thinking. One of my favorite parts of this track is where he attacks trump:

"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!"

Mind you, Em and Trump haven't always been enemies, in fact there is a video where Donald has supported Eminem in his "campaign for President."

Part of me wishes that Em was actually running for President because let's face it, all things said about Eminem (although I hold him in the brightest light possible) he would be a better fit for our country than our two current candidates.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
