The Detroit native rapper took the stage to introduce Obama at the occasion, telling the cheering crowd, “I’m here tonight for a couple of reasons. As most of you know, the city of Detroit and my home state of Michigan mean a lot to me. Going into this election, the spotlight is on us more than ever and I think it’s important to use your voice. So, I’m encouraging everyone to get out and vote please.”
He continued, “I also think that people shouldn’t be afraid to express their opinions, and 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. I think Vice President Harris supports a future for this country, where this freedom and many others will be protected and upheld.”
Obama then took the stage, the place he playfully informed the viewers, “I gotta say, I’ve done a lot of rallies. So, I don’t usually get nervous, but I was feeling some kind of way following Eminem.”
The former president then broke into rapping the opening verse of Em’s Hot 100 chart-topper, “Lose Yourself,” noting that his “Palms were sweaty, knees weak/ Arms are heavy, vomit on my sweater already/ Mom’s spaghetti/ I’m nervous but on the surface, I’m calm already.”
After deafening cheers, Obama joked, “I thought Eminem was going to be performing and I was going to jump out.”
