In 2004, MTV aired the “Shady National Convention” to promote Eminem’s satellite radio venture. The rapper’s onetime pal Donald, acting as the “Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Cash,” introduced the real Slim Shady:
“When the Shady party called and told me there’s going to be a convention, I said it’s gotta be a really big one and it’s gotta be right here in New York because this is the best city anywhere in the world, am I right? Of course, I’m right. I’m always right. I’m Donald Trump, I’m always right…
“I know a winner when I see one, and Donald Trump is telling you right now Slim Shady is a winner… He’s got brains, he’s got guts and he’s got Donald Trump’s vote!”
Boy how things have changed. Below, the clip from Tuesday night’s BET Hip Hop Awards:
