atleast he never put out anything this badI don't think anyone could realistically say that Eminem doesn't respect hip-hop culture. But the music he's been putting out over the last decade is another story
Lets revisit Eminem saying that "he dont like that N!GGER sh!t" (how was this line forgiven)
- Thread starter Ronnie Lott
- Start date
ManBearPig
half man half bearpig
Don't be mad cause Eminem said nikka
kermit da hustla
Banned
i don't know a single black person that listens to eminem.
Jay Z - I'm sure he appreciates/likes/respects rap, but these are still suspect lines
"I'm not a rapper" - Heart of the City. Although it depends how you interpret that, he could just be saying he's not just a rapper, he's an entrepreneur/businessman/entertainer/etc.
"I ain't no rapper, I'm a hustler" - A Million And One Questions
"I dumbed down for my audience, double my dollars" - making it seem like he cares more about the money than the quality of his artwork. But you can't blame him for doing what sells.
I'm sure Kanye appreciates/respects/like rap too, but again a suspect remark by him
"I don't even listen to rap," he told DJ Semtex. "My apartment is too nice to listen to rap in. I have to be in a way more grimey environment to turn any rap music on."
Mims - comes off as one of the more exploitative people. Obviously he didn't last long though
"This is why I'm hot, I don't gotta rap
I could sell a mill, sayin' nothing on the track"
As for people who don't listen to rap at all, at least how they make it sound with some of their quotes. Although this is cacplex or w/e so who knows how legit this stuff is and maybe some of it was taken out of context.

Issa Dash (of the Underachievers)
"I stopped listening to rap personally around the age of 14. After that, it was just no more rap. I'm not into rap, really [anymore]."
Angel Haze
"I don't even really like rap music. I listen to Flyleaf, I listen to Gotye, I listen to some French composers. I don't limit myself to one kind of music because, if I did, I would just make that kind of music."
2 Chainz
Not only does 2 Chainz not listen to rap, but he also relates to those that despise it. "For me, on my off time, I never listen to rap. I can see why people don't even like rap," the Atlanta rapper said in an interview.
ASAP Ferg
"I don't listen to rap music because I don't want to sound like nobody," he told Blowhiphoptv. "And I don't listen to hip-hop because it doesn't give me that love, I don't feel that soul."
Tyler the Creator
"I don't really listen to rap, I just like to rap," he told SPIN. "So people were saying OF is like the new Wu-Tang. No we're not! I don't even fukking listen to Wu-Tang. I want be compared to shyt I listen to."

Disgusting. I'll be sure not to support any of these artists from now on. Not that I was ever going to buy an Angel Haze album anyway
The Dust King
A Childrens Story
it doesnt get made every month. it actually doesnt get mentioned enough because in all these threads people come in and never heard of it
he had 2 songs, foolish pride and i own another one.
how you gon leave out jay-z?
i think eminem got a lotta skills, (not a goat tho) and respects the culture a lot.I don't think anyone could realistically say that Eminem doesn't respect hip-hop culture. But the music he's been putting out over the last decade is another story
i also think he grew up on the racist side of the line and was embarassed about his upbringing so he made up some lame ass lie about a black girl instead of giving us a true sincere apology.
on top of that when eminem dissed benzino, he called him "half white" when he knew benzino was half puerto-rican and half black.
seems em dont respect sp!cs either. im happy those songs leaked because i had already wasted enough time listenin to his music. after 2001 his material is
anyway
at you dudes entertaining Blacklash
Kanye? Really? The same person who contradicts himself every week?
Jay-Z?
Don't be ridiculous. Tyler the Creator? I could believe that. His music is garbage.
2Chainz?
Garbage music and part time c00n.
No. Being a semi-talented white person in "black" music makes major money. See: Adele, Elvis, Justin Timberlake, Eminem and the list goes on. They're making way more money than the average country singer or rock star.
Unlike Em
Yea, nikkas in the hood would much rather sell crack to their mothers, and shoot their brother over jewelry...
Hov always spoke on those mistakes in a regretful way
Uh....no. For every 1 Eminem there is 20 Bubba Sparxx. And the rest of what you said makes zero sense. There is one Eminem in rap music, if he simply wanted to make a ton of money he could've went the rock or pop route with 5 billion other white entertainers.
Fred.
Not really.
And I said "semi-talented". Bubba Sparxx is barely average. And Eminem's success is mainly due to his image and marketing. Same for Elvis, Adele, etc.
Yes really. Again, in all of rap music there is literally only one Eminem. ONE. That's it.
And the whole "semi-talented" shyt is nonsensical as well, because it assumes talent = success. I know you aren't naive enough to think that.
So you're telling me, let's say it's 15 years ago, and Eminem approached you about blowing up....you'd invest in him, instead of a white rock or pop act?
If your answer is "yes", you're a fool, because all kinds of shyt had to line up for Eminem to blow up. Too many things for him to haphazardly jump into rap solely for the money.
Fred.
