Vivek would make a perfect Parks and Rec politician.

I can’t imagine having to watch this dope live out his child hood fantasies of being slim shady.
All these other Slim Shady’s are just imitating.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Vivek Ramaswamy thought he could show off his rap “skills” on the campaign trail — but he’s getting a legal halt from Eminem instead.
BMI, the company in charge of Eminem’s compositions, sent a cease and desist letter on Aug. 23 to the Republican presidential hopeful, asking that he stop performing Slim Shady’s tracks.
His response comes after he received a letter from BMI that asked that Eminem’s work be removed from a licensing contract Ramaswamy had in place.
“BMI will consider any performance of the Eminem Works by the Vivek 2024 campaign from this date forward to be a material breach,” the letter read.
To the American people’s chagrin, we will have to leave the rapping to the real slim shady,” a spokesperson for Ramaswamy’s campaign told DailyMail.com Monday.
This story was updated on Aug. 29 at 6:30 pm ET after Vivek Ramaswamy agreed to stop using Eminem’s music on the campaign trail
The original article contains 478 words, the summary contains 154 words. Saved 68%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
If this dude thinks trump was the best president in the 20th century why is he running against trump?
This question is not my own but it is a great point lol
This guy is definitely one of those dudes who’s using this campaign to get a cabinet position or a job as a pundit.
Vivek single handedly proved not all colored people have rhythm
Macklemore, get ready!
He is the GOP’s Kendall Roy
I feel like Vivek Ramaswamy bought ancient political data and trained into 2011GPT.
Worst Kendall Roy vibes only
I didn’t know this was a thing and now I’m contemplating risking my own meager peace of mind to witness it.
Good decision from Vivek.

The difference is in the messaging.
I fully support Ramaswamy illegally downloading some Eminem tracks to listen to in the comfort of his own home.
However, using those songs as an advertisement for your presidential campaign carries an implication that the artist supports you and your policies.

Do you enjoy living in a world of strictly black and white?

When did I say anything makes me uncomfortable?
I’m just pointing out how interesting your lack of social skills are.I’m curious, are you like this when you talk to people face to face?

Oh everything you say is “dissent”? Lol ok kid
I’m all for it when politics are involved, ban all sides from using music.

Does the original artist controling use of their work count as a copyright troll now?

Rap God came out in 2013, ten years doesn’t seem particularly egregious when the artist is still alive. It’s not like Eminem is a long dead musician and the catalogue owners are trying to make a few bob. He’s a living and working artist who has the right ti decide what causes his art is attached to.
This guy has a mix of great policies mixed with actual crazy, I hope he fades into obscurity
Edit: website lied to me he is a shit stain
Great policies like what
Wow your right the website I originally pulled up was flat out lying saying he was anti billionaire etc.
I just looked him up. He’s hyper religious and anti-“woke”. He is an out of touch billionaire. He’s everything Republicans want. Too bad his skin tone is so dark, he’ll never make it past prelims.
Well it’s the GOP, some something to do with being a Nazi I would imagine (not that that’s a great policy, just saying that pretty much their thing)
I looked up his main platform goals.
Destroying public education by abolishing the department of education and banning teacher unions. Disenfranchising young voters because they don’t lean conservative, and allowing blatant discrimination again by getting rid of all affirmative action laws.
Oh yeah, the disenfranchising young voters would also implement a sort of literacy test.
He also seems to really hate Lyndon Johnson, not for starting the Vietnam War, but for passing the civil rights act.
He’s claimed (repeatedly) that black people were instantly fine after the civil war because they had the Second Amendment and guns, which is just wrong on every count.
Vivek is a bit too brown skinned for the KKK, but he sure does love their policies.
He’s got some other dogshit policy ideas, like solving climate change by burning more fossil fuels, and the standard right wing nonsense of banning speech he doesn’t like in the name of “fighting wokism”
The entire campaign seems to be an attempt to funnel money from said campaign to himself, while also promoting his shitty book on how he loves capitalism so much that he wants to prevent companies from making cynical “woke” PR efforts that help them do a capitalism.
Doesn’t he believe that we should stand up to China by letting them invade Taiwan in the near future, which is idiotic at best?
