Barack Obama Drops Eminem's 'Lose Yourself' Bars At Kamala Harris' Detroit Rally

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz's Detroit rally became a historic moment thanks to former president Barack Obama and rap icon Eminem.

The duo joined forces at the event on Tuesday night, with Eminem taking the stage to endorse Harris and implore fans to vote. He also introduced the former POTUS, who shocked the crowd by rapping.

Barack Obama performed the opening verse of Eminem's hit "Lose Yourself" to the cheers and applause of many. The former president also surprised Chicago residents while strolling down the streets to show how easy it was to vote by mail.

Obama's unforgettable moment was captured in a YouTube video shared by ABC News. The clip captured him taking the stage after Eminem endorsed Harris' campaign at the Detroit rally.

After the rapper welcomed him to the stage, the former White House resident kicked off his speech with a joke, telling the crowd:

"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."

Obama then rapped the first verse of the rapper's song, saying, "I noticed my 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 and ready to drop bombs."

The crowd burst into loud cheers and applause as Obama performed. Following the screams, he joked, "I thought Eminem was going to be performing, and I was going to jump out."

The former president's rapping skills earned hundreds of supportive comments from fans, who couldn't believe the iconic moment. One commenter penned: "America has come so far that we've seen a white rapper and a black President."

"Did Eminem just have a president of the United States quote his song? Is that a new level of legend unlocked?" another YouTuber wrote. A third echoed similar sentiments, noting:

"Absolutely amazing. A wonderful young man from 8 Mile introducing the former president and getting a hug at the same time. Epic!!"

"Having the President quote your lyrics is an ultimate flex. Eminem must be so proud, haha," someone added. "It's not every day you see a former President spit-rap 'Lose Yourself.' Gosh, I miss him!" a fan shared.

While Obama became the highlight of the night, Eminem touched the hearts of many with his powerful endorsement speech. He spoke as a Detroit native and a concerned American, telling the 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…I also think that people shouldn't be afraid to express their opinions. I don't think anyone wants an America where people are worried about retribution," Eminem continued, adding:

"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."

The Blast recently reported that Eminem would open Harris and Walz's Detroit rally on Tuesday, October 22. His decision to endorse the pair came weeks before Election Day on November 5.

Instead of hyping the crowd with his music, Eminem joined the campaign rally to share his stance on the upcoming elections and why he believed Harris was the right woman for president. He was also slotted in to welcome Obama to Detroit.

While many celebrities have endorsed the Harris-Walz campaign, the Hip-Hop icon's voice might have a significant impact in Michigan. As a native and renowned rapper, Eminem's support could give the presidential hopeful the boost she needed to secure votes in the key state.

Before the Detroit rally on Tuesday, Obama showed fans how easy it was to vote by mail in an Instagram post. He shared a video of himself filling his ballot at home before the video cuts to him walking down the streets of Chicago to the mailbox.

He repeatedly interacted with residents during his stroll, asking how they were doing and giving compliments. Obama repeatedly reminded people to vote, shook a couple of hands, and even praised a man's dog.

"I voted by mail. It was easy and a great excuse to say hi to some neighbors. If you're voting by mail like me, get your ballot in the mail right away. No matter how you vote, make sure you have a plan and get it done," Obama captioned the post.
