Conway Agrees With Lord Jamar: “The Hood Doesn’t Listen To Eminem”

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

duh

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 block.

That shyt isn't a novelty anymore and to be honest that boom bap style never went anywhere, trap just superceded everything.

Bro... nobody is listening to none of that shyt....
Yes, some of us like it...
And maybe in our lil circles too...
But bro... my brooklyn nikkaz be listening to fukkin lil baby or baby.... whatever the fukk that nikka name is ..
And a bunch of other muthafukaz I couldnt name, but sound the same...
It dnt matter who Conway and them nikkaz sign too

Then why would he dabble into the street shyt with some of his music? I mean he’s on albums from some rappers who are street oriented like 50 & G-Unit. But It’s probably the labels who influence him to push that image.

I would ask him why he made street records then

This.

People weren't even around or were probably too young when Em was doing street records from his first album to 2003-2005. Or when he wore a durag.

He definitely was trying to appeal to the hood all on his own...that wasn't no label behind that.

Fool was repping “Runyan Avenue soldiers” for a good year or two

Yeah, I 100% agree...
The hood is bumping whatever trap nikka is popular or their friends ish since everybody raps now (I had a studio when I was living in Crown Heights last year, me and my friend legit worked with damn near every rapper that wanted a cheap place to lay down vocals and an engineer that wouldn't charge extreme prices for mixing and mastering since he would do it.

but that's one of the reasons I like G X FR, Conway, Westside Gunn, and Benny...they ain't trying to be mainstream and they're too rough around the edges for it.

it all started with the Ja Rule & Benzino beef, notice he started to make grittier music working with guys like 50, Banks, Busta etc. he kinda fell back when the beefing became serious and his drug problem got worse.

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.

Breh even my sister who only listened to shyt like Xscape, Changing faces and 702 and shyt bought Eminems album, dude was just like (a milder version) Beatles or MJ in terms of popularity. Where A lot of people fukked with him of hype, and of course others cause they were rap nerds. Up In smoke tour, Dr. Dre and Snoop, MTV 24/7, rap magazines minus the source, shyt even BET.

Then we had the rap nerds, we were on that freestyle, battles, rhyming and on, we all saw the movie, all his associations were black. Just like Bill Clinton he got that Dave Chapelle cac black trade.

Then he managed to extend that a bit by landing 50, but after that he was gone.

That's my take on it at least, perhaps I'm overestimating other places and circles.

I like them nikkaz too... cause I dnt wanna be bumping nothing that anybody else is bumping... that's just how I am... and like u said, they rugged, rough around the edges....
But where in crown heights was u at?
I used to live on Lefferts

Even Bizarre is better than Eminem.

[Wacky D]

No way. Dude petty as fukk. Slaughterhouse shelving, Stat Quo shelving, MGK ban which he denied but was real... Taking D12 name away from them then leaving the group. Now they can't eat off their brand without him signing off.

bu bu but he put all his homies on.

 

[Preach Jackson]

I didn’t watch this cuz it’s Vlad
But nah we ain’t checking for his multiple syllable fast rapping about rapping and Iggy disses

Lord Jamar isn’t tired of talking Em yet

 

[seemorecizzy]

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.

MGK bodied marshall
and eminem been trash ever since his back and fourth with zino
