Because when artists/rappers such as Akon are holding court on a public platform such as Soccer AM, it's important to recognize that the people involved with those kind of programmes are almost exclusively middlebrow whites who know next to nothing about hip-hop - and the audiences for the most part are impressionable teenagers. When we have BLACK artists such as Akon - who his seen as being a modern representative of hip-hop on a mainstream level - parroting the same nonsense, we are giving them exactly what they want.
They just want to be able to say "Look Eminem is the goat cuz Akon said so" "Look Eminem is the goat cuz Usher said so", just like they say "LOOK MAN RAKIM SAID EMINEM IS GOAT". How many of those Eminem fans who say that can even name 3 Rakim songs?
You don't seem to understand that as long as popular black artists continue to go out there and contribute to the white-washing of the culture by giving such dickriding "opinions" of Eminem, soon enough they will begin to think that the WHOLE hip-hop culture shares the same opinion.
