"The Ringer" alone has attacks against Donald Trump, Mike Pence, professional music critics, and most modern rappers whom Eminem accuses of [[FollowTheLeader just copying]] Music/LilWayne. When he gets to Lil Yachty, however, Em is surprisingly chill, and his words here can be summed up as "His music's not really my thing, but I get why people like him" and he leaves it at that.
