^^^^ Who in the hell wants to hear EM rap about his Mom, his daughter, and his dumb psycho GF? Nobody wants to hear about that crap in every damn song that he does. I am willing to admit that he has skills. EM has probably the best lyrical talent of anyone that has come along lately. But when all he does is rap about his Mom, daughter and GF, it get's a little repetetive. I do like some of his songs, he just needs to rap about something other than the usual 3 for once! And now this crap beef with Benzino that has been going on since that tape of EM's racial slurs against blacks surfaced. It's just getting rediculous. EM and Benzino have been beefing forever now. So Benzino disses EM and then EM disses Benzino back and kills him. Then all of a sudden tapes surface of Eminem making very harsh racist comments towards blacks, and what does Eminem do? He tries to sue Benzino and his magazine to prevent them from releasing the tape. He gets caught with his pants down because someone hears the tape and he cries like a little girl and wants to sue. He should have just took it like a man. No other rappers cry and try to sue when they're beefing with other rappers. If that isn't phony I don't now what is. You didn't see Benzino sueing after he got dissed to hell. But as soon as Eminem gets caught saying something very wrong and is backed into a corner, he tries to sue. How phony is that? LOL! Anyway back to topic OBIE RULES! LOL!

How about the 30 million+ people that have bought his albums? Or the millions downloading it? Obviously someone wants to hear it.

I was referring to people that like actual real rap, that varies in it's topicality. And does not just focus on three of the same topics. I like some of his songs, he just gets irritating.

ZachCHartwell

I can see where your going with this you silly American. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I can listen to Em for only so long, then he just starts to get on my nerves. He's a good rapper, but I can only take him in certain amounts.

MrEastSide

Yeah sorry, I didn't mean to hijack your thread and turn it into an Eminem hate thread!

fazes

pfft, did you even hear that supposed racist track? there was only one thing on there where he said "I don't like black chicks" that's all it was about...if you want to hear em get back at him listen to bully, or the INVASION part 3

MrEastSide

Ahhh have you even heard the whole track? He says more then what you quoted! LOL! Damn get your facts straight man!

Hip Hop representatives speak their mindz:

Mack 10:
white dudes can't say ******, especially if they saying it in a negtive way. if he's saying, "that's my ngga, thats different. but if you saying it in a negative way, i ma think that **** is racist. then rap and everything go out the window

Crooked I:
I think the dude is an incredible lyricist, but if you're a racist, you get no support. if we support a racist, we cutting our own throat. if hes a racist like that, he gotta fall to the side. i want to seen on TV publicly apologising to Black women

Skillz:
if you say the word '******' outta anger and frustration and call a girl a black bitch, i'm pretty sure you'll say it again. i don't think its not a word he hasn't used since then. bottom line is i don't appeciate eminem using thw word ******. as soon as i read his statment, i knew something was fishy. he said he was dating a girl who was african american i've never heard him use the term african american in his whole life, which made the whole statement look suspect to me. its the clasic example of someone gettiing caught and being outta character when the try to explain themselves. it all sounds the same. sorta like his beats

Joe budden:
i don't know what the **** is wrong with him. I love black women. you almost really do want to believe him, but that type of attitude really can't be excused, i don't care how old you were. i don't really know if it will affect his career, but i think he should apologize. i just hope he doesn't have those same views today

Freddie Foxxx:
the bottom line is this: the fact that eminem is white haven't have any reflection ib gun being a dope mc. but hes definitely equal to Elvis presely in a sense that elvis only thought that black people were good enough to either his servant, or anything in a type of servitude for him. his goal is to do better than the people he stole from. at the end of the day, what else do you expect from a white man? i'm sure he used the N-word a whole lot times outside of this

Styles P (LOX):
he's ****ing teeth should have been knocked out- thats my reaction. but all the black people who are SUCKING his **** should be ASHAMED of themselves. if it was a black ngga they would have killed his ***. I can't say something too wrong cuz he on my label. if he aplogizes, it'll be aiight, if not, thats ****ed up.

Bun B (UGK)
when did he realize he was WRONG for saying that? when he got caught? its no way that song should have been still out there like that. no body shoulda gotten a copy of that. if he didn't want o body to hear it, he should have never put it on record, he had 10 YEARS to FIND that tape.

Petey Pablo:
its a shocking situation cuz hes alwayz been a great MC to me and for this to be the case, he's like Elvis. i don't think you can really apologize for that cuz if you call me a ******, then to me, that's always on your mind and thats what think about us and thats the way you look at me...

Malik Shabazz (New Black Panthr Party):
there's two standards for black & white celebrity figures when it comes to acts they have done- you have micheal jackson allergedly molesting children and he's being attacked with the full force of every media in the country... you have kobe bryant in the same situation, but with eminem- who is on tape making racist comments that reveal what he feels about black people-- everything is being surpressed... he can't be allowed to get away with mere retraction when the evidence on him is already in... his Black fans should remember this and it should reflect in his future record sales.

Esham:
8mile was full of so much garbage that its was crazy... hes just a racist and the whole movie has racist overtones. it was fictitious and, once again, he was just using the culture ansd twisting it up in his own little sick way for the masses

Nikki Giovanni:
i'm not a fan of eminem and it was a profound dissapointment, he had to know that ths was not acceptable and what he didn't expect is that somebody would say something to him. EMinem and the white boyz who want to do rap have to grow up. you are just not allowed to be BIGOT... its like he floated a ballon politically, ad he wanted to see who's gonna shoot ut down. now they're putting a spin on it like, i'm sorry,' somehow, young, white people seem to think they can do anything and then say 'i'm sorry'.. but that doesn't get it. it just doesn't get it..

SUGE KNIGHT (DEath Row Recordz CEO, And AMerrikan KnightMare):
first off, i'm definitely supporting the source on this one, because they have been REPRESENTING for HIP HOP sice day one. i'm not only faulting eminem but the people around him, who knew about this all along- including Dr. Dre. i don't support anyone who says they down with hip hop and is trying to defend this racist mo****a. i've watched beefs go on in hip hop where guys are ready to go to war with eachother and hold grudges for years, but this is way worse and some people are ready to dismiss it. my moms is black, my sister and daugters are black. there is no forgiving him.

The word "n****r" shouldn't be used by anyone. White or Black. Its quite evident that these rappers have no clue about their own history. Its an extremely derogatory term and when used by any rapper it simply promotes hatred and an lack of respect towards themselves and others.

The problem with hip hop is that it is hardly relevant to social issues (not that it always has to be but it is now a rarity). What once began as a voice for black artists to comment on social issues and become distorted, filled with lies and empty promises by major record labels who's only concern is the bottom line.

When Grand Master Flash released "The Message" way back in 1980 he was making a social comment. He was being a voice for young blacks who were voiceless. That was rap music.

When I see videos when artists are throwing money at viewer or talking about the 24" wheels they have on their H2 it makes me sick. I guess that the irony of it... These idiotic fans are willing to make these artists rich and then enjoy watching these video's where they show what they've bought with their new found riches.
