I want to address the moment that starts at 6:54 . I completely understand his perspective. However, things such as music and art have always been used to send a message whether you agree or disagree with it. Just because they are famous doesn't mean they don't have opinions they want to share. Art has been used in history to criticise, to give your opinion, to spread a message ect. Eminem is doing the same thing. Some people may not agree with the position that he is taking and that is fine. Eminem obviously stands firm on some issues and he will take a stand if he thinks its right. Everyone, no matter their opinion, should be able to voice it however they want.

[@YumiYumY]

Yea, especially rap.. I mean the genre itself is all about dissing stuff. Ofc he's gonna get involved in politics and ethics....

[@jaegybomb]

Everyone should stand up for what they believe in. As long as they believe the same thing I do.

[@moly446]

I disagree with the last guy, I think that’s one of the big reasons people make music; to speak their mind and influence people, in at least what they think is, in a positive way. If there were no politics or opinions in these songs then they would be so bland, and some even meaningless.

[@TheVitorvillas]

I understand your point, but you also have to agree that these people have a lot of influence and MOST of the times they are not even remotely educated in politics, economics, etc...

[@pablocidade5780]

I thought the exact same thing, the best thing you can do is not make empty music, but instead say something that is meaningful to you through your art , otherwise is just empty

[@RomeoDeMarco26]

Eminem's word are not meant to influence you.... They're to give a voice to the voiceless.... A lot of people feel the way he does.... But our words don't make it far past our circle of friends.... Eminem, and other artists, are in a position to stand up and speak out against situations they disagree with.... You either agree with him or you don't.... That choice is yours....

I find the the whole ideology that by someone being famous and having a platform, they should be excluded from being able to discuss politics or any other controversial subject. It's such a counterintuitive belief that completely collapses on the idea of a state championing free speech.

How can u tell a star, not to influence that's what they set out to do. In every creative bone in their body they want to get a msg out either abut life, fame, family, depression or politics and religion. Everyone has a right. And the moment a person becomes an artist in form of a actor, musician, painter or movie director they wanna get a message out that influence and has the people of the masses talking and thinking.

[@nervousguy]

That's a different type of influence. I haven't heard the Eminem Trump thing, but what Don meant was that politically, it isn't correct to... impose your opinion on others. As a popular artist your opinion would influence people who might take it without consideration. I believe that's what he said. I could be wrong. And on that note, if I remember correctly there was an episode of someone reacts to system of a down, where they also state political views. But back then it was very positively received, because of the views displayed. It all comes down to... whether you agree with the views in question or not

[@Spinner-Star]

Exactly sending messages is the very point of art.

[@horhevamp8890]

Music and art CAN always be political... the artist conveys a meaning... political art and poetry have been around since forever!!!! I appreciate the artist saying that behind my lyrics I have a belief and that colors my lyrics and my music... you dont have to listen to the music, but if you want to really understand it you should understand the artist and you cant do that without knowing his politics.... Its much better for Eminem to actually draw this line on the sand and take a stand even if it loses him thousands of followers than to be like those washed out 'middle of the road' types that wont say what they believe in just to sell a few more albums either side of the line...

[@horhevamp8890]

Also, under the same breath, you might wanna know that The Beatles, John Lennon, Radiohead, U2, Green Day, Bon Jovi, Nirvana, Queen even (with 'I Want To Break Free' - emancipation) and literally hundreds more all talked about politics in their music, using their fame to talk about poignant topics

[@AFCA-vn9bl]

Idk i'm a big fan of Em but he has said some stupid shit in his freestyle, for example "And any fan of mine who's a supporter of his. I'm drawing in the sand a line, you're either for or against. And if you can't decide who you like more and you're split on who you should stand beside, I'll do it for you with this: FUCK YOU!" That's not just "speaking out" and telling people what your political preferences are but that's just straight up saying you can't be an eminem fan anymore if you support trump. IMHO you can simply not do that, that has nothing to do with politics anymore but that's just threatening people into not having their own opinion anymore.

[@thecherryblossompie]

That's... Literally what artists do? Music has historically been a way for artists to take a stand and talk about issues that matter to them, and those issues do have to do with politics. Art has always been closely linked to politics and expressing oneself. He's expressed what he believes in as a citizen of this country and taken a stand. People aren't being forced to listen to his music. Just because you don't agree with someone doesn't mean they don't have the right to stand up for what they believe in.

[@kaybees9701]

thecherryblossompie PREACH

[@QuesoQt]

yeah i'm kinda confused about what he said... music has always been heavily influenced by politics and actually vice versa

[@thecherryblossompie]

Yeah I also find it ironic because I went back to the "Elders react to Eminem" video and when asked about his controversial lyrics this same guy (Don) said "I think in the music business and in all entertainment business, anything goes." Feels a like he's being bit hypocritical now.

[@mastawoop6555]

thecherryblossompie the thing is you're right and everyone has their freedom to express and stand up for what they believe. Problem is that Eminem made it clear that if you are a Trump supporter then you can't be Eminems fan. It's making you choose. I am a supporter of Trump despite not agreeing with some things, but at the same time I love Eminems music. So now I can't be a fan of Eminem? It just cause more controversy that is not needed. You wanna make a stand and say you are against something then do it for yourself and not make this uprising. The fact that stars use their title of fame to make others follow them for something they believe is just honestly sad.

I think the main part Don takes umbridge with is that Eminem said: "You're either with Trump or with me". Basically saying there is no middle ground. Which in my oppinion just points to the shortcomings of a 2 party political system.

[@JWPSmith21]

Storm Tater I don't think Don was upset by someones position, I think its when celebrities push their views. Tell people that to follow them or like them, they have to be against someone else. He's worked in the music industry for a very long time, so I can definitely see where he is coming from.

[@Misypo]

Eminem literally said fuck off or agree with me. He's the one not respecting other peoples opinions.

[@Swiggsies]

He did still appreciate his talents. He just said he would choose not to support him. Also, Clint Eastwood is not going to influence youth. He appeals to adults who have set opinions. Eminem, and others like him, influence youth, who mostly just agree without developing the thoughts on their own. I believe that is the point he was making.

[@johnfrancisdoe1563]

Rami Hernandez Especially for M&M, because his lyrics often set up a scenario that he then tears down in a later verse. That was the case in at least two of the songs they read.

[@HeatherG23]

It would be cool for FBE to also give some context with these videos for the elders. For example, they could also tell them how old the artist was when they started out (and what year), and how old they are now/how long they have been in the industry. Like for this video they could have said “eminem is now blah blah years old, and has a daughter in university” or something. It would be cool to get their reactions towards those kind of facts as well and it may help them see how impactful the music has been over the years

Especially because Don is from the music industry, it really surprises me that he doesn't think artists have the right to speak their mind about politics. They're people first, they have just as much right as anyone else to talk about politics- maybe even more so because I think it's their job to use their platform to spark interest in politics and other important issues.

[@brandipityha9457]

Herter Did elvis or the beatles say if you like someone else you cant like them essentially? I dont recall that in history, but correct me if im wrong. He isnt saying artists shouldnt have a political opinion, but dont try to use your fame to change peoples opinions by force, which is kind of what hes doing. You are either on Trumps side, or Eminems but you cant like both... Why?

[@maneater]

Exactly. Artists, or just public figures in general, are humans. They're allowed to share the opinions they have just as the rest of the population. The first amendment doesn't just apply to everyday Joe's.

[@oreki22]

Look, you are right that they are engaged and that is part of their job to stay current. And it's fine to make songs mocking Trump, because then his supporters could just not listen to that song. The annoying part is when entertainers say that, "you are either with him or me." I mean fuck off mate, I listen to you to escape all of this political crap, and now you're saying that I can't be a fan of yours if I like something else that is unrelated to you? It's just an annoying thing to do to your fans is all.

[@crusador84]

One of the elders made a comment that he couldn’t separate Eminem’s talent from his politics. Should we apply that to other forms of art as well? How about a scientist's achievements or a medical breakthrough? Are you going to stop using a certain life saving drug if you find out the doctor held opposing political beliefs to yours?

@@sirrealgaming6913 I’m someone who really has to appreciate the artist in order to appreciate the art.

Chances are this is going to start one hell of a discussion, but honestly I'd do the same if I had the power as Em.

Zntyl I think that's a separate argument. Whether or not politics and cultures are separate I mean as they both provide foundation for the other, for instance, a lot of western culture is consumer based. How we eat, dress and even think to some extent is all affected by politics. What we eat, wear and think is also part of a culture. What we eat, wear and think all affected politics. (For instance, the price of bread is a powder keg in terms of revolution, particualrly in the East where bread is so significant.) To separare them isn't necessarily the best idea but everyone has a view on that.
