blackrain;1430385 said:you know how many people go through classim and confuse it with racism every day...it happens and trust me i'm well versed enough to know and speak on this topic...classism was the reaction by other whites to Eminem's lyrics...did Eminem choose the wrong word by saying racism when talking about his come up in hip-hop yes, it was more prejudice than racism, but to say it wasn't there at all is being willfully ignorant to blatant facts that exist in the world...and that is that when a white person does something normalyl associated with black people there will be black people who don't like them simply based on them being a white person trying to do something traditionally black...

Kwan Dai;1430465 said:In this case we are talking about 60 minutes who have editors and production staffs. This should never happen. However, that's not the slant they were going for. The slant they were going for was POOR white boy picked on by blacks who thought he wouldn't make it. But he slayed them all in underground rap battles to become the Elvis of Hip Hop. Stop with the Victim Jazz. Oh you just don't like HIM. I don't know the man not to like him. I don't care for his PRODUCT.
Kwan Dai;1430493 said:Just for shits and giggles who was saying this? I know Def Jam wasn't. They made a shit load off of the beasties. In the 90's there people saying WHACK mafuccas shouldn't Rap. Black, White Green or purple.

blackrain;1430497 said:so are you mad that it was a white rapper being interviewed cuz they've had black rappers on 60 minutes beforet..all rappers talk about their past in the interview...and we're in America, the country that loves the story of the underdog who made it...everybody who has that story gets that shit pushed...Eminem isn't as special as you think in that aspect...
blackrain;1430508 said:you really think every black fan of rap music who saw Third Base was open to white boys doing rap music...MC Search has spoken about how he had to fight extra hard for respect being a white MC, he's spoken on it plenty of times but when Eminem does it you get pissed...
Kwan Dai;1430519 said:Mad? Cut it out and stop using juvenile arguments with me. Are you overjoyed that an Idol of yours is getting shine? Let's keep this adult my g.
Kwan Dai;1430533 said:3rd Base was well recieved within Hip Hop. Search even frequented the famous Latin Quarters if, it was that much of an issue he would be here to tell his story. So, again getting respect from labels for a deal is totally different then, getting in a cipher where EVERYONE had to EARN their respect as an MC.
blackrain;1430537 said:I asked if you were mad i didn't assume..it's not an argument it's a question learn the difference...and at what point did I say Eminem was an "idol"...you want to keep it adult then have an actual conversation without attempts at insults or failed attempts at talking down to somebody...Eminem did an interview, was asked questions that ALL entertainers get asked, and you seem to be upset about his answers...what did you want him to say...that there was never a black person that said "you shouldn't rap cuz you're white Marshall"...if that happened to that man and it affected him then he can speak on that...the mere fact that you seemingly can't acknowledge that could happen and has happened to white people who inject themselves into predominately black things speaks more to your ignorance than anything else...

blackrain;1430541 said:well received doesn't mean "received by all"...Eminem has also been well received but he said not everybody welcomed a white rapper with open arms...if that is hard for you to understand then you're just choosing to be closed minded...you don't even have to agree but to deny the possibility of it happening is just stupid

musicology1985;1429296 said:OK so it's an attempt to draw similarities. I see. But stop acting like whites can't be from Detroit. Whites built Detroit and it didn't become majority black until the 1950's and Detroit been around since 1712. And pro white groups have historically been cool with the NOI and the BPP since the mid 20th century, so I don't see the shock. We both want the same thing for our respective ethnic groups.
And EM is not surrounded with House Niggas. He provided opportunities that other blacks did not want to provide. THIS IS THE TRUTH. Wasn't NOBODY BLACK SIGNING BLACK ARTISTS FROM DETROIT ON THIS LEVEL SINCE BARRY GORDY LEFT. HE EVEN SIGNED OTHER ARTISTS FROM ALL OVER THE NORTH WHO PROVIDED OPPORTUNITIES FOR OTHER BLACKS. I don't see the problem.

There are others that have hate in them, and they have stalked GEE and posted male nudity dedicated to GEE, all because of Emenim.

rapmastermind;1429728 said:"If I was Black, I would of sold Half" - Eminem
This is what I expect in the future, they did the same thing with Elivs. When you bring up what the Black Rock N Roll Pioneers went through, all you hear is "Elvis sold the most records". Now I bring up the obvious plight of what Blacks had to deal with with there lyrics and the response I get is "I couldn't hear you over the 80 Million albums sold". Eminem record sales are irrelevent to his lame attempt to play Victim when Blacks Lyrical content have been under a microscope since day 1. Eminem actually had the nerve to say "Other rappers say the same stuff as me and don't get criticised" What world is he living in. "I wonder if it has to do with my color" Is he serious?
Em lost more points again. I like Anderson but this was softball interview. I can't wait till a real journalist confronts him on the "Racist Tapes". To me till this day he got a pass and if these tapes came out in 99 when "My Name Is Dropped" his career would of been D.O.A., lucky for him they came out after MMLP and TES after he sold 40 Million records so people can make excuses like the lame one he made, "Oh my Black Girlfriend broke my heart so now that gives me the right to make racist music", SMH. This is the rapper that they will try and say is the greatest of this genre'. Elvis reincarnated folks. Eminem was right to call himself Elvis, it's happening all over again. When the books are written they will try and say Eminem was the best at everything when it comes to rap and hip hop.
