Jim Johnston: "I'm not a fan of Rap"

[Mike the Executioner]

He gave the typical white guy response ("I don't like rap, but I like Eminem"), but as a talented composer/producer who spent years working with various genres of music (including rap), he should know better than that. To stereotype all rap music as that and single out the most prominent white rapper in history as someone that goes against that stereotype is a horrible take for someone in his position. Especially in this current climate.

He's lucky he's not more famous or he would have been sliced up on social media.

For context why i made this thread

I always wondered why there weren't many rap themes during the "Attitude Era"...well now i finally know why

 

[R=G]

Thats cool..he has a ton of talent though

 

[MenacingMonk]

He said he likes Em, but hates rap for the negatives? Em talked about killing his baby momma and shat on his mother. What a fuxkin hypocrite JJ is.

I’d have been shocked if outta nowhere he just started marveling over the lyricism Jeru the Damaja displayed in the early 90’s

 

[Buzzed Lightyear]

He's a 60 year old white guy, did you really expect him to be into rap music lmao

As a musician he should like all music. Not in the sense of driving down the street listening to all genres but with him being a musical genius, he should like all music to stimulate his mind to make new sounds.

I don't think he's a racist though. He's just ignorant to most rap because nobody turned him on to certain artists that he would be interested in.

I barely listen to anything past 2009 to be honest with you and 09 is a stretch because I started losing interest in music way before that.

Was he around to do Victoria's theme? Then that would have put him in the studio with nicki Minaj also
