1 thing is for sure it is much more segregated than Europe

But there is always exceptions like Eminem that grew up around nothing but blacks in Detroit and a City like Detroit that is something like 80% black, had a best friend that was black from child hood and grew up in the hood around blacks on the Eastside of Detroit

See that's it it just is a lotta insecurity, segregration, history, politics etc

That a lotta blacks on the IC have regarding Eminem even though he RAp's about the same struggles blacks go through and we talking blacks in the millions and millions, even though he came from a black enviroment etc

Some like Nujerz and others are just insecure and uncomfortable about a white person Rapping about his life and struggle most people go through as straightupsho showed as far as segregration

Yeah i mean The Slim Shady crazy Alter Ego that really was Eminem looking for attention and trying to get headlines and controversry for record sales and appeal to young 8 year old kids with a Cartoonish gimmick that is Slim Shady

But that is in the minority as far as Music and Eminem has stopped that solo Album wise his last Album Recovery was just great real Music with no Slim Shady gimmick Songs at all

As far as the public aura he was just playing that role but hated it it was done for attention but just judge him on his real great MUsic like i said about struggles, MUsic that is Deep, that is heart felt and just dope Lyrics, dope Message, and just him making Music helping people from the struggle

The long and short of it is that is does not matter if he's made an artistic change, he is still white and his fame is built on his race. Em is the first white boy who can authentically rap so honkeys what to crown him king, fuck that. no one knows if he was playing a role or not as an artist you are what you project.

Rofl this cat zonin da fuck out

H rap cool man we use to get into it both of ya'll some funny mf's for real

(I cant type to you so let me TALK to you)

Vince officially lost me as a fan tonight, I cant feel 4 picks in a must-win....

Now that you see how powerful my words are you should pay more attention to my posts!

How many posters do you know that can bring that level of emotion out of a man/woman??

Honestly if there was a credible Black poster who could post a Emenim CD or themselves listening to emenim I might be moved.

I remember how distraught you were when I dropped that Video of me and my Bro at that Maybach Music event were their were luscious Sista's vying for our attention :P.

Here me out and get at me I cut short because Im distacted but I know you feel me.

HipHop music is like the voice of the streets and the underclass, its how we communicate from one region to the next region and Emenim aint really a part of that.....Pete Carrol did his thang tho'

The Slim Shady Alter Ego is just that an Alter Ego playing a role it is a persona Em has never raped, seriall killed, smoked crack etc

Em is the only solo White Artist who has managed to sell in history every other white Rap Artist has struggled to sell like succesful Black Rappers

Em is the only exception and pretty much the only white Artist to come from the hood, come from a harsh enviroment, to have a life with a lotta hardships etc

The other White Rappers grew up in the Suburbs, grew up in stable and good backrounds, just had a normal pretty happy life

How can Eminem not be apart of that when he was born and raised under class and really poor his entire life? 1 of the poorest Rappers ever since he actually was homeless at 1 point and had a mother that was unemployed and he actually had to clean dishes to provide for his daughter

And grew up in Detroit 1 of the most in the top 3 dangerous Cities in America year after year and is 1 of the most poorest Cities in America

Not to mention the fact his best friend Proof was black

What you said is retarded and idiotic

So what it does not matter how hard he had it he's not black so it's harder to identify with him , but we do recognize his talent that's it. We don't live so close with white people in the states. Hip-hop is not like any other music this shit comes with a state of mind behind it and Em just does not fully fit in it's not just his subject matter.

Im not the spokesman for Black folks but Im most likely the closest that you will get to a Black man from America giving you an authenticated point of view that you can trust based on the fact that you have seen my face, heard my voice and enjoyed my music.

This thread will be in the Forum of fame by the way.

All im saying is that the majority of African-Americans tend to relate to people that look like them who have experienced the same life-experiences as them.

Emenim has experienced poverty but he has never experienced racism, oppression, and a system that is designed to keep him at the bottom....I dont speak from an emotional perspective but rather a realistic perspective based upon my own life experiences here in the United States living as a Black man.

I mean to me Em's mind state is the mind state of all that have heart

To do what he does to provide a good and happy nd safe life for his daughters and give them the life he never had in his wildest dreams

He adopted a daughter and loves her again a mind state that takes a real man to do something like that

Makes Music to help and reach people that grew up in a harsh enviroment like him and experienced poverty and struggles like he did

So i don't see what you saying bruh

White skin
in AmeriKKKA means privilege and Black skin in Amerikkka means prison.

A white man in Detroit has more opportunity than a Black man in detroit
The death rate for Black males in Detroit is higher than the death rate for white males in Detroit.

Emniem encountered cosiderably less obstacles than a Black man in his situation which is a fact that you love to ignore.

Ok so you telling me that him having guns pulled on him by a group of dudes when he was 15 years old in Detroit just cos he was the only white kid living in that hood and these dudes threatened to shoot him just cos he was white is not racism?

You telling me having to work minmum wage jobs cleaning dishes in fast food joints to feed his daughter, wife and single parent mother is not opression?

You telling me being homeless in your teens with no food, no clothes etc and having to be taken in by your best friends mother is not opression?

You telling me having your house shot up and bullets flying through the window with a daughter and wife living there and burgled cos you live in such a dangerous neighborhood is not opression?

WE? Your making it seem like its just strictly blacks. There's whites, Hispanics, Asians, etc included in this too. My neighborhood is one big diverse mixture and I live in one of the most heavily populated black counties in the country.

If that was the case there wouldn't be the millions of Middle and Upper Class blacks living in affluent expensive neighborhoods across America with high paying jobs like there is

And there wouldn't be any whites living in harsh poverty and deprived neighborhoods and struggling to feed their families like there is

You really making no logical sense

Lets try this again. Black people want to see black people we want to hear black people we and to talk about black people. A white man can come from a mostly black environment but he will never be black. With Em the race element is missing , some blacks may be able to relate to some of his experiences but em is not black and he can't relate 100 percent with blackness so there is a disconnect.. Hip-hop was made for us and mostly by us we want to see us and us must be the ones to be the stars in this this thing not some white-boy no matter how talented or not he is.
