Maybe he likes them.
He doesn't have to appeal to a certain demographic to make a certain kind of music.

Because them nikkas ain't watch the clip, just read the thread title and came in spewing misguided opinions.
Typical Booth shyt.
Had to rep.And then Jamar gonna go and act like that Eminem corny ass bars didn't ruin that Conway song
That song was good until Eminem came on started spitting and completely made the rest of that track unlistenable.'
I figured with him being around actual MCs like Conway, Westside, Benny and all them he'd step his bars up but I just think this is Eminem's go to style now...it's unbearable.
Yea, that verse was garbage. And Jamar actually said he didn't like it also, as @FreshAIG pointed out. I originally turned the video off too soon.
But Billy Ocean clearly misunderstood what Jamar said and even admitted it in a later post in this thread.
Lets be real, when Lord Jamar means "the hood" he means Black people. I mean, that's when I was fukking with him...when "Just Don't Give A fukk" was getting played on underground hip-hop radio and he was on Stretch & Bobbito and the wake up show with tech and sway doing freestyles and he did instores at Fat Beats. that was when he was hip-hop..
I honestly think Black people only fukked with Eminem from 1998 - 2002. Then again he surrounded himself around mad influential black rappers and proiducers from that period and he was getting played on "urban" (ie black) radio....It was really when white people started fukking with Eminem more and he became commercial that I feel black people stopped fukking with him like that. once 8 mile came out that was it. Then the dude's music started getting cornier and cornier.
And I lived in the hood, and the burbs. I ain't never heard Eminem getting played like that out of anybody's car...no black people, no spanish people, nothing...I have heard Eminem getting played out by waaaaaay more white people than black. Thats not to say Black people don't listen to him...but I cannot for the life of me remember when I was hanging out with other black people and any of them played Eminem's music.
Not all black people are hood. Not all hood people are gangsters. Not all gangsters are hood.
Urban literally refers to the inner city. Plenty of black people live in the suburbs.

I thought said that too. But he was saying that Em killed the song. As in killed the mood of the song. Listen again.And then Jamar gonna go and act like that Eminem corny ass bars didn't ruin that Conway song
Billy Ocean addressed this twice already.
I've heard the bolded get played in the hood though...in black coffeeshops and bars. I was spinning that stuff as a DJ in hood spots.
BLack people don't fukk with Eminem like that. Let's be real...his brand of aggressive content and humor just doesn't resonate liek that to Black hip-hop audiences by and large. Who wants to hear about him threatening to kill his wife for the 17th time or him rapping about sticking gerbils up his ass? His style completely resonated with white hip-hop loving dudes who didn't have a legit MC of their own to stand behind at the time. And he wasn't billed as the industry's great white hope, but his fanbase put him there.
On a technical level, yes EMinem is one of the greats. When it comes to lyrics and freestyle ability, EM is up there. When it comes to selecting beats, Em is terrible. When it comes to replay values on his albums, EM just doesn't have it. And personally I always think that if black peopel do not fukk with you in some way, shape, or form, your status as a GOAT rapper is questionable.
Black people fukk with Drake more than Eminem.
What does that say about Eminem, if he's supposed to be this rap god?
Yall nikkaz are weird...
Why the fukk would the hood be playing eminem anyway...
Why da fukk would the hood be playing chance as fukking rapper... name any other muthafuka...
shytttt... the "hood" is playing less gangsta nikkaz 4real, 4real.... weird ass Atlanta rappers. Who fukk each other....
We tryna act like Em ain't nice or something ...
Like the nikka didnt make a couple classics.
Cut that shyt out...
And conway is nasty, that's my nikka...
But is the hood really listening to him and the Griselda boys?
Nope... nikkaz ain't listening to none of that shyt
Theres probly more nikkaz listening to that city girl shyt...
Rap is in a fukked up place.
Lord jamar is a nikka I respected but seen him have to back track too many times to fukk wit his opinions anymore

Ok thanks
And thats another thing, Em always beefed with Pop stars and people like Moby.
When real MCs came at him, he always seemed to duck away from it.
Canibus?
Everlast?
and he murdered him on wax.Cage?
His only real victory was against Benzino, and zino called him out accordingly back then.
And against Juice, but these kids don't remember that.
And recently against Machine Gun Kelly, but MGK really went in on him before that happened.
Other than that (and possibly ICP) his battle record is shaky.
There are actually a bunch of rappers out in Brooklyn that are doing that whole Griselda x FR/Roc Marciano type shyt now...and they definitely rep the hood and their blocks, sets, and they definitely do work...they ain't nerd rappers.
That shyt isn't a novelty anymore and to be honest that boom bap style never went anywhere, trap just superceded everything.
