Any Black Folks Like Eminem?

[The_Man]

I apologize to anyone i threatened it's just a homie who was real young from my area died recentley and it was hard cos it was such a young person

I'm not no stan at the end of the day it's Music but just speaking for me and even some people i know Music can help you when you going through tough times so that is why i really like Em cos he speaks about things i been through like growing up mad poor, having to provide for family, relationship drama just day to day life struggles

I don't really care if someone is not a fan cos i know a few friends of mine who aren't but i just found it disrespectful how people can critisize an Artist who's Music has helped people going through struggles like poverty, growing up with out a father, growing up on welfare, being a parent etc

You don't have to like an Artist but you can appreciate how his Music is real and helps people going through day to day life struggles

And it's not no say and act like Em is the only who does this or is the only Deep Artist of course there is others too but me personally i just found Em's Music that extra more rawer and honest and more passion than the others i think cos he went through so much in his life he expresses it a more better way it seems more heart felt from him than others to me i think that more so is just cos he went through more things in his life than the others

Im white have grown up poor without a father figure in my life and eminem has never helped me threw shit, all he has done is entertain me you take this shit too serious.

Imma black Em fan..say what u want, the white boy can spit and makes good music..that's all I care about..
ppl talk about not being able to relate to his music, when they can't relate to 90% of other subject matter in rap..

However I do understand why some blacks have an issue with Em, and I respect their opinions..

^^^ Emotional content niggaz relate in the hood when they got this why even bother with Eminem????

Where is there a rule saying you can't listen to more than 1 Artist that speaks on real life struggles and is emotional with content?

The simple reason people bother with Em is cos his Music is good and how he expresses his pain that so many go through is a better Lyricist than Cormega has more Emotion and has experienced more in his life than Cormega

You call ya self an Em fan but make statements like that

You seem to forget that Em is from 7 Mile, 8 Mile Road in Detroit

What has Em done wrong he has never lied in his Lyrics he has never pretended to sell drugs or kill people or be a Gang Member everything he Rap's about he been through and that is something people respect honesty and being real

Mega actually lived in the projects, robbed people and spent years in Prison something Eminem never done.... and he speaking shit that people at least here in the States from the hood can relate too something Em doesnt... To me this is more relatable than anything Em says...I listen to Em cause he can rap not because I relate to his music..

It's always easier for me to relate to people from my own culture over people from other cultures, but everybody is raised different.

lol what are you talking about ?

i don't cs everything he says

maybe in this thread u act like

i do it all the time or some shit.

My girl always waits till the football game to beg for attention so I kinda know what you are going through right now. LOL

Bitch be like "If H-rap ignores me I'll just try to get attention from whoever else he's talking too".

If that don't work bitch might get nasty and start talking about "riding dicks" or "wiping asses with fingers".

..now she in the mirror impersonating a Wigger trying to see how many times she can say "nigga" in one sentence.

*Warning* don't respond to this post, it may frustrate other posters who in return might type an ass-to-mouth visual in response

(Emenim is highly overrated)

I read this 2x and still aint understand what you sayin

Stop takin shots cut to the chase homeboy,I already know its because I habitually shit on your lame obligatorily cosigners/cheerleading crew

This happens on a daily basis here

EVERYDAY

But it happened to you(prolly the 1st time ever) and u react like some petulant child

Shut the fuck up nobody cares

BOlded why I understand people of minority desecnt could care less about "Eminem Struggles" even though they may be legit.

So you don't relate to Eminem cos he never robbed people but instead worked his ass on minimum wage to feed his daughter, wife and mother??

You don't relate to Eminem cos he never been to prison????

So because he wasn't a criminal doing what is wrong and cowardly you hold that againist him?

That is pretty sad

Michael Jackson

shit's pathetic, e-militants flat out lie to try to prove an erroneous point.

Everybody (including the honkeys) know MJ was black, and no amount of surgery or Uncle Tom'ing could've changed that.

disgusting, we got the King of Pop in our race and niggas ready to throw him to the wolves for the sake of a prejudice-inspired point.

No Im saying Eminem so called struggle isnt new or ground breaking... black and latino in the hood been going thru shit daily for years just because a white boy went thru some doesnt make it any more special, emotional or real.

In my city i am now seeing teenagers from relativley good backrounds 2 parent homes, middle class parents, parents that own a home, parents that have fairly good jobs, cars and financially provide a good life for their kids

Actually join Gangs and get involved in crime cos they simply attracted to the lifestyle and i like everyone else i know finds this disgusting and shocking

And i see people who grew up in real bad poverty, no father, grew up in the poorest hoods actually work hard honest living to provide a good life for their mothers or kids rather than end up in jail or dead and they get so much respect

Things like are allowed in 2011 cos of people with your mind state @ nujerz it is quite serious it's not just the odd kid here and there from a good well off backround and good family home joinintg Gangs and killing the numbers getting higher

This got real dumb real quick...

From a black dude who grew up in the hood, without a father and robbed people and caught a few cases , (and also been an honor roll/deans list student every report card I ever got) I like Em because he is really good at rapping and i think he's funny....yea I relate to the fact he said ..."All I know is I don't want to follow in the footsteps of my dad. Cause I hate him so bad. The worst fear that I had was growin' up to be like his fuckin' ass"

that's just one facet of his appeal though...

And let's not act like posting on the internet is a "black thing" either...

But who said it did? what makes it special more than anything is coming from and making it to the top with hard work and mental strength coming from the bottom to the top

That statement it self is not correct either cos there is blacks and latinos out there that are Middle/Upper Class too you know to make a statement like that is crazy

And there are obviously a huge % of whites who are in poverty and lower class

 

[Wonderland]

It makes perfect sense....There many African American rappers who go thru that and spit about that so they have more options to listen to other rappers who rap about those topics...and I never met anyone who a fan of hiphop say hes wack lyrically or on the mic.

There you go then what i said from the start it all comes down to the fact cos Em is white some just aren't comfortable simply because it's a white person Rapping about those struggles and his life experiences

That is no secret but why can't people just admit this on the IC?

Crackas and Uncle Toms always loive to call people 'internet militants'.

I have heard you shit on people by mocking their dark skin, mocking their broad noses and mocking their Afrikan heritage, FACT.

...however I still have a certain level of respect for you as a Black man because you have never acted like a woman desperate for attention from another male poster who chose to ignore you. You have self-respect and I heard ya voice so you my brother even if we spar and slap-box at times.

The moral of that story I told is that there are Negroes who don't want to hear you shit on white folks and those Negroes will spend more time attacking you for shitting on whites than they will discussing solutions, sharing knowledge, or shitting on whites themselves.

If H-Rap and Tommy Billfigger are shitting on Emenim it wont take long before somebody reverses the convo back to Hrap or back to Tommy because they hate for us to shit on them or their messiah.

Just look at this thread for verification of my analysis.

But i think really and truely it's simple

There are blacks out who have no problem in relating to and appreaciting and liking Eminem Rapping about what they been through or going through

Then there are blacks like yourself that aren't comfortable with it cos he is white
