Barack Obama Raps 'Lose Yourself' After Eminem Introduces Him at Kamala Harris Rally in Detroit
The Grammy-winning rapper has supported both Obama and Harris' political careers
By Abigail Adams and Ingrid Vasquez Updated on October 22, 2024
"Eminem welcomed Barack Obama to the stage while appearing at a Kamala Harris rally in Michigan just two weeks before the 2024 presidential election. And the former president couldn't help but rap one of Eminem's biggest hits.
The Grammy-winning artist, 52, and former Democratic president, 63, briefly shared the spotlight on Tuesday, Oct. 22, in Detroit as they rallied support for Harris' campaign ahead of Election Day.
After being introduced by Eminem, Obama began his speech by quoting the rapper's 2002 hit song "Lose Yourself." "I have done a lot of rallies, so I don't usually get nervous. But I was feeling some kind of way following Eminem," Obama said once at the podium. "I noticed, my palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy, vomit on my sweater already, Mom's spaghetti."
As the crowd roared, Obama continued rapping the single, which won a Grammy for Best Rap Song and Best Male Rap Solo Performance in 2004: "I'm nervous but on the surface I look calm and ready, to drop bombs but I keep on forgetting ... "
Obama ended by singing the famous intro music and telling the cheering crowd, "I love me some Eminem."
While introducing Obama moments before, Eminem explained that he "wrote down a few things I wanted to say."
"I'm here tonight for a couple of important reasons," said the "Houdini" rapper. "As most of you know, the city of Detroit and the whole state of Michigan mean a lot to me, and 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 everybody to get out and vote, please."….

Love and miss his leadership, the feeling that things were alright and heading in the right direction. I retired from teaching HS Social Studies last year and my favorite years of teaching were during his campaign and presidency. The students were so excited and involved.
That was not the vibe during the trump era 😔
I have faith that Gen Z will do a better job than the boomers…"
