Eminem No Racist
Published January 28, 2004
CMU reports:
One of the friends of Eminem quoted in The Source magazine's character
assassination on Slim Shady has hit back, claiming his quotes were taken out
of context and stressing that Mr Mathers isn't and never has been racist. Detroit MC Chaos Kid was Eminem's writing partner from 1988 to 1993 and was part of Bassmint Productions, the rap crew Slim Shady was in when he recorded the seemingly racist raps that surfaced last year and which the Source has based its "racist" claims around. The magazine uses comments by Chaos Kid to back up their racist claims against Eminem, which are made at length in their February issue.
But in a letter to the magazine, which has surfaced on various news groups, Chaos Kid says: "I am forced at this point to recognize that there are obviously some ulterior motives/personal hang-ups/political/racial agendas going on behind the scenes at The Source and this is making it impossible for you to present the issue of these tapes in a true light that would give a full spectrum of perspective."
He defends Eminem's rap - which included derogatory remarks about black women - by saying the rap was one of what they called 'Suckerin' Rhymes' - raps which were meant to "goofy/ stupid/ ignorant/ wack as possible." He adds Eminem was never racist in real life and that "we personally had conversations talking about how we hated racism and racists and we both had real songs denouncing racism."
Choas Kid's explanation for the racist rap released by The Source does not
entirely match that of Eminem - who said he recorded the rap at an angry time in his life and that many of the lyrics were aimed at an ex-girlfriend, the break-up from whom was still dominating his life when the freestyles were recorded.
It remains to be seen if The Source - who have a long running feud with the
Eminem camp - print the letter in their next issue as Chaos Kid requests.

Shut the FUCK up, Me>L. Just because a white guy becomes a famous rapper, doesn't mean he's racist, and I'm Black! As a matter of fact, Eminem is one of the best rappers of all time! If Eminem was racist, do you think Dr. Dre would sign him or he would sell around 18 million records with his 3 albums(not including the 8-mile Soundtrack), or would get his all-black D-12 crew out of tha 'hood, or would have people like 50 Cent and Obie Trice in his crew!!!!! What? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!! Look at all the BLACK people that he's worked with. So what if he's white! I heard one freestyle when he said "nigga". Okay. So he said it. I'm smart and cool enough not to go on a fuckin' rampage when a white guy says that. I look at the CONTEXT of the sentence. He said: "You the type a nigga that...blah, blah, blah". He said the word "nigga" as someone would say, "dude" or "man". It's not the word, it's HOW you use the word. Like the word "gay". If someone says their gay, it usually means that they're a homosexual, but it could also mean that they're HAPPY. Bottom Line: Eminem ain't a racist.
Dwaine, I think your perspective is exactly right on this, and I am very glad to hear it.
Thanks, Eric. Also, if you people haven't noticed it yet, Eminem wants to get you upset and such. You shouldn't take his rhymes seriously. Imagine what would happen if you really took his rhymes seriously. You'd be dead now.
He does seem to often speak in hyperbole.
Who the hell cares? Rap is a joke and Eminem is just another punk with no talent who is worshipped like God.
Fucking pathetic.
You're a joke, Josh. I can see you fading away right now. Bastard.
Isn't this funny? I say one negative thing about rap and these guys start jumping on my case like I'm a criminal or something. Hilarious.
Hey Dwaine, don't get an attitude with me just because I don't worship the almighty rappers, alright? Yes, there are still a few people out there who have have some brain cells left and hate rap. Deal with it, instead of whining and crying every time somebody says something bad about rap.
Why do people bother me with this "Rap sucks" blase, blase B.S.?
The only reason I listen to rap besides entertainment is that I can relate to what most of the rappers say. And I'm not like everyone Josh. You're comin' at rap as a whole without realizing that there are many different types, styles and forms of rap. You're clueless and you don't know what the fuck you're talkin' about. And I'm serious about that. I don't feel like talkin' to you about the different types of rap. What other type of music is morally flexible enough to allow convicted felons, drug dealers and murderers to start anew with a paper, pad and beats? The only thing these rappers do is talk about their life experiences. And if you don't respect that, you's stupid.
Alright, I'll buy that. I know that there are different types of rap, but the "gangsta" shit seems to be the most popular, wouldn't you agree? So they talk about their life experiences, well whoop-dee-doo, big fat hairy deal. There are plenty of other styles of music in which the artists talk about their life experiences, and they don't have to act like a punk to get the job done.
About the article: The "Suckerin' Rhymes" Chaos Kid is talking about are from a second track The Source was going to release, which is a freestyle where Eminem raps: "All the girls that I like to bone have the big butts, no, they don't 'cause I don't like that nigga shit, I'm just here to make a bigger hit." Based on his delivery (I have an MP3, which you can probably find on Kazaa if you look up "eminem racist"), it must've been recorded in the early '90s, which would put Em at or around 20 years old.
The track that Eminem has gone on record to defend himself about is a different song, called "Foolish Pride," which is about his ex-girlfriend. The song has a corny "Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff" sound to it, so it was likely recorded in the late '80s, meaning he would've been a teenager when he wrote it, which would make Em's apology accurate (he said he was a "stupid teen" when he did the song).
One of Source owner Benzino's rebuttals to Em's apology was that he recorded "the racist track" (whichever one he's talking about) in his early 20s, not in his teens, and that he should therefore "be crucified for lying to the press," or whatever the quote was. This is an example of The Source either: a) not knowing their shit, or b) taking Eminem's apology out of context in order to confuse people.
That's my two cents on the article/issue at hand. About the rest of the responses:
Um, wow.
Threre are doubtless some raw nerves near the surface around here.
Well, they do, Josh as far as rap is concerned. They want to act like that. Like yesterday, I wanted to pick on all who disagreed with me. Why? Because that's the way I am. And that's probably what these rappers are. Most of these rappers come from the streets, so I guess if you just became famous like that, it's gonna take you a while for you to make the transition from a "street" personality to a more civilized one. I don't think this aspect of rap is ever gonna change. As long as there's crime, there's gonna be "gangsta" rap. So maybe it's in their nature to act like a "punk", as you call it. Here's an example. Say you move to France from the U.S., it would take you a while to get used to their customs, right? Same thing with rap. As a matter of fact, it's the same thing with all music. Look at Nirvana. Their front man killed himself because he couldn't make the transition to fame. Rapper Beanie Sigel (who's on trial for attempted murder. He didn't make the transition.) said it himself, "...Wanna make the transition, from the streets to the fame, but I can't let it weaken my game..."-(No Glory from State Property Pt.1 Album). There are some positive examples. Snoop Dogg was a former Crip. He was charged for attempted murder, but was acquited in 1996. He changed his whole attitude around. He's released songs like "Beautiful" and the like. He's made the transition. What I said may either weaken or strengthen your opinion, Josh. These rappers may run around, screaming "gangsta" and such because they haven't made the transition yet. That's the bottom line.
Actually, Kurt Cobain killed himself because he had a condition called Colitis, which leaves you in constant pain 24-7. I think that even the toughest person would eventually succumb to constant agony, don't you? Don't get me wrong, I still hate Nirvana and most new music, but I just thougt I'd share that with ya.
And you may have a point about rappers having to make the transition from street to civilized. But it just seems like some of them DON'T WANT to make that change, you know what I mean? Like the hardcore gangster types, for instance, such as 50 Cent, Ludacris and God knows whoever else. They seem like they're completely satisfied with being society outcasts. Come to think of it, there's an actual rap group that calls themselves 'Outcast'. Coincidence? I think not.
Ludacris ain't gangsta, he's just a womanizer.
Ludacris is a "womanizer"? Right, and God knows that those women aren't after his money, right? Ha ha ha!
Well, that's what groupies do.
Dwaine, a lot of women go after rich guys for their money, not just groupies.
Josh, You just dont give up dont you.
I know you remember me from Ja Rule Vs
50 Cent where i convinced you
to admit you really like rap. Now amswer my
question here and tell why you hate rap
and are at a rap site.
Eminem is no rascist.
How can anyone say such a thing.
Eminem is the Mentoir of 50 Cent and Obie trice.
Anthony, you KNOW that I never admitted to liking rap. Your pathetic little impersonation of me was all too obvious. It's okay, though, I realize that people like you are not worth arguing with.
BTW, the reason that I'm on this site is to express my opinions, but I guess you can't understand that for some reason.
Hey Josh, shut up.
Hey Anthony, GROW up.
Josh your the one that needs to grow
you go to sites just to diss them.
Sorry, Anthony, I know you want to have the last word, but it ain't gonna happen.
By the way, Anthony G., you're sexy...
To the other Josh:
Please, please, nobody wants to hear about your homsexual fantasies.
JOSH IS A FAG!!!!!! EVERYONE KNOWS THAT JOSH IS ONE PERSON!!!! FAG!!!!!
S@#^!!!!!! I JUST GOT A CRAMP!!!!!
Hey Josh its about time came out of the
closet.
What in the world.
Hey everybody, I've just figured something out: Jose is the one that's impersonating me. I can PROVE it - just look at comments 28 and 29, both of them were posted at 6:57 pm. Congratulations, Jose, you have now been exposed.
HA!
Josh, look at the email address on 28
by clicking on the name. Then compare that
to one of Dwains and you will find that it
is Dwain that is impersinating you, MORON.
Hey Dwaine, I thought you and I settled our differences, so why the fuck are you impersonating me? Grow up.
And Jose, I apologize. I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong, unlike so many other people on these polls.
Ha ha you thought it was Jose.
Man you are a moron. I knew it was dwain
from the begining.
I am man enough to admit i am wrong
but i havent been wrong yet. Dogg.
You knew it was Dwaine from the beginning? Well, I guess you would know, seeing as how you're so good at impersonating people too.
Stop with that. You wrote 374 trying
to make me look bad.
Anthony, people can just check the e-mail address on 374 and they will see that it was you. So stop lying already.
Hey Josh, on 374 you posted your name
but you gave my email address trying
to frame me.
It's getting old, Anthony. Nobody believes your pathetic lies, so please just drop it before you start to smell.
lets drop 374 cuzz it was an idea
of yours that never worked.
You're right, Anthony, we should drop #374 because it was a stupid idea of yours. I agree.
Josh, i cant believe you still are
blaming anthony for 374.
I tell ya im surprised i thought you would have droped out by now.
Cmon now everyone knew who Jose really was ewept this idiot Josh.
Ladies and gentlemen, Anthony is still proving that he's a pussy. Just look at comment #42 on here, he posted under the name Obie. Once again, "Obie's" e-mail address showed Anthony's.
Little Anthony is getting more and more pathetic every day. Stop making up names and show some balls, you fucking sissy.
Hey Josh i cant believe that you are still talking about that Authentic
posting on 374.
I cant believe it took that long to figure out who Jose really was. Actually
if you go back and check the first jose
posting youll find that i Obie Markus
was the one who started Jose. When i left anthony took up the idea of Jose
for me.
Eminem is the best Musician to ever exist.
Hey i used Anthonys Email
so hackers wouldnt get into mine
But i decided that was messed up so
i am using my real one
I apoligize for that whole confusion.
Ha ha Josh you thought you had one there.
On comment #42, Obie's e-mail address showed Anthony's. Now on comment #44, it says 'obman@aol.com', which is a fake e-mail address that Anthony made up. It's SO obvious. C'mon, Anthony, just give it up for God's sake. People's e-mail addresses just don't change in seven minutes. ONCE AGAIN, YOU'VE BEEN EXPOSED.
cmon Obie that was almost as dumb as Josh.
Josh i swear on my lfe that i didnt
post obies name.
Its good to see ya back Obie.
Josh clearly Obie explained himself on
44.
Anthony, that's bullshit. You didn't post Obie's name? Comment #42 shows that YOU DID.
Just answer this:
If there really is a person called 'Obie', then why didn't you get pissed at him for using your e-mail address? And why would you say "It's good to see ya back" to someone who stole your e-mail address? Also, "Obie's" spelling is exactly the same as Anthony's. Coincidence? I think not.
Stop saying ladies and gentlemen
there is no one at this site but you me and anthony or should i say Psycho
I didnt like obie using my
email address but he disses you
and anyone that disses you is okay in my book. Plus how can you blame some
one that doesnt want hackers on their computer.
Josh i got basketball practice
Obie keep it up.
You now what i dont want to be left
alone with him. Ill just go to the Mall
and spend sum cash.
Goodbye, Anthony! And good riddance!
Riddance is a word that they used back
inthe leave it to beaver days.
Rock sucks josh. Why are you at a
eminem site if you dont like rap.
Josh if you dont like rap why are you at a rap site dogg.
JOSH MY GOSH i feel sorry for you
everyone is after you with the same
question. Why are at a rap site if you dont like rap?dogg.
this site is officially named DoggRocksucks.com.
Congratulations Anthony, for making up new names like Troy and Vine. You continue to be a pussy. You also changed the e-mail addresses so that people would think it wasn't you. That was clever.
And the reason I'm on this site is because I feel like it. Dogg.
Once again, sorry Josh. I was just playin' around about the impersonating.
Thanks, Dwaine. And again, I'm glad that you had the balls to admit it, unlike Anthony G.
However, I did think it was a good-ass prank.
O.k. I don't know who has
been posting my name on 63 and 61,
but I have a strange feeling it
was Josh.
Josh I am going to admit it
now, because I want you to
know how stupid you are. Anthony
G is a made up person. I made him up
dogg.
Hey Dwaine, I thought you spelled your name with an 'e' at the end, but on comment #64, you spelled it 'Dwain', with no 'e'. Did you forget how to spell your name or something?
ALRIGHT DWAIN AND EVERYONE ELSE
I WAS JUST PROOVED TO BE A MORON
I GUESS ILL LEAVE NOW.
Josh i am glad you are leaving
but before you leave can you make a
comment on your stupidity on the
whole make believe Anthony issue.
Looks like little Anthony has impersonated me YET AGAIN. There are three ways to tell that it's him:
1.) The spelling is pathetic. He even spelled 'Dwaine' wrong!
2.) I, the real Josh, never type in all capital letters, like this moron did.
3.) The e-mail address is fake and made-up.
4.) Why the fuck would I call myself a moron?
These four things prove that Anthony is once again being a pitiful loser with no balls. You have just been exposed - AGAIN!!!
Anthony is now impersonating Dwaine, too. Here's what he did:
He posted as Dwaine and said that he made up the name Anthony. The reason he did this was to make me look stupid, which didn't work, again. C'mon, Anthony, did you really think I'd fall for that? I'm glad to see that you finally spelled Dwaine's name right (after I mentioned it, that's more proof right there) and copied his e-mail address, but we can always tell when it's you because of the horrible spelling.
It was not Anthony it was me Domi G and you need to stop putting the blame on Anthony all the time idiot.
JOSH I sware aon my life i am not Anthony.
Hmmmm....'Anthony G' and 'Domi G'. Coincidence? I think not.
Once again, the spelling is EXACTLY like Anthony's, so once again, he failed to outsmart me.
I am using my full name
for this one cuzz i am droppin
the nuke.
Josh if you post one more comment
on Blogcritics.org again you are gay.
And not gay as in happy but gay
as in homosexual.
I am sorry it had to come down
to this Homie but i told you i was
crazzier than you.
I am sorry Dogg.
P.s. and dont try to email me
cuzz my email address is much different
than the one i always post.
Goodbye and once again i apoligize dogg.
Anthony, I'm glad to see that you're finally apologizing for being an asshole. Thanks! That's all I ever wanted.
I am using my full name
for this one cuzz i am droppin
the nuke.
Josh if you post one more comment
on Blogcritics.org again you are gay.
And not gay as in happy but gay
as in homosexual.
I am sorry it had to come down
to this Homie but i told you i was
crazzier than you.
I am sorry Dogg.
Anthony just posted the EXACT same comment as he did on #73. I think all that crack is fucking up his brain.
LOOK JOSH I POSTED THAT COMMENT TWICW
FOR A REASON. SO I AM GOINTO POST IT ONE
MORE TIME. SO READ IT VERY CAREFULLY
AND TRY AND GET THE INFO STUCK IN
YOUR THICK HEAD.
I am using my full name
for this one cuzz i am droppin
the nuke.
Josh if you post one more comment
on Blogcritics.org again you are gay.
And not gay as in happy but gay
as in homosexual.
I am sorry it had to come down
to this Homie but i told you i was
crazzier than you.
I am sorry Dogg.
First of all, congratulations on changing your name for the 100th time.
Secondly, I don't know what you mean by "droppin the nuke". Won't you please explain it to me, oh wise one?
Josh if you post one more comment
on Blogcritics.org again you are gay.
And not gay as in happy but gay
as in homosexual.
This is the section of my posting that
i want you to understand.
Explain it to me again, Anthony. I don't understand.
YOU ARE GAY, AND IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND REREAD MY COMMENTS OVER AND OVER AGAIN TILL YOU DO.
Omg...
I just walked into here to see what is going on and I swear, I have tears in my eyes, I am laughing so hard.
Wow. I guess Anthony ran out of insults, so all he can say is "you're gay", "you're gay". How clever. That's almost as clever as those five different names that you posted under.
By the way, you still didn't tell me what you meant by "droppin the nuke".
Droppin the nuke is a phrase for the rest of that posting that you are too stupid to figure out.
I've figured out what "droppin the nuke" means. It means smoking a big crack rock. That's why Anthony always says it.
Josh forget about that entire 76
statement its too hard for you. SO
just sit down and relax homie.
This shit is funny. The conflict is hilarious.
Did you know that "this" and "shit" have the same letters but just rearranged?
Dogg! Where ya at. I waiting homie.
Good idea, Anthony, I WILL sit down and relax. Thanks for the suggestion. It's the only intelligent comment that you've made as of yet. Dogg.
Dwaine,Shaun,Obie and the late Jose
Josh has given up on one of his
little guitar sites.
I win.
Hey Anthony and Josh, knock it off!
Umm, Anthony, this isn't a guitar site. This poll is called "Eminem No Racist". It has nothing to do with guitars. And why are you speaking to "Obie" and "Jose" when you have admitted that you made those people up? God, see what rap has done to your brain?
Sad.
The bickering just never ceases...
Eminem isn't a racist. He's a worthless punk.
That being said, now I will leave this poll!
Josh first of all Eminem is far from worthless, he has about 400 million
under his name.
Second you told me that you were leaving
dogg. This about the tenth time you
said you were leaving, yet your
name still appears.
Third would you tell me where i admitted
to posting under Jose and Obie, you
are the only one to make that
claim dogg.
Wow. Anthony is STILL trying to argue with me. Hilarious.
Anthony says "Eminem has about 400 million under his name". Ummm, okay, 400 million WHAT? I told him to lay off that crack, but...
And you have admitted to making up the name Jose. It's somewhere on the Ja Rule/50 Cent poll or one of those. I clearly remember you saying "Why do you think that Jose showed up at every poll you went to? I made him up"!. It's on one of those other polls that isn't available now.
I think Anthony should just drop it. he insists on arguing, when in reality, he's just making a fool of himself more and more. And Josh, you shouldn't let him get to you, he's just another little rap thug who doesn't know any better.
I am a real person, damn you!
Alright I posted under Cannabus, but
that is not the point.
Rap blows, Eminem blows, and Anthony G blows.
Alright, I posted #102, but only because I'm mad at Josh.
C'mon Josh this is like 374 all over
again, you post something that you never would say and then blame me.
C'mon now, homie
Hey Anthony, fuck you. I am a real person, I am NOT Josh. Get yer head outta yer ass, alright, thug boy?
You're getting smarter, Anthony. I give you credit. At least you finally spelled my e-mail address correctly on comment #102. Good job. Thug life has taught you well.
Dogg.
I just came to this poll and I immediately found Anthony and Josh arguing like children. You guys need to grow the fuck up. You're not in fourth grade, alright? Anthony, you post under other people's names like a moron and you love to start shit, and Josh, you let Anthony get on your nerves too easily. Just let him make a fool of himself and ignore it.
You guys are too immature!
Good point, Psychedelic. It does get old after a while, ya know?
Cannabus you suck you aint even a real person ha ha. Josh like I said before just stop posting under Cannabus and we will never mention it again.
Josh you want to get the last word but its never goin to happen, because I am a psycho. The only way this feud will end is if you leave because thugs never give up, dogg.
This is comedy.
Just shut up, alright guys?
Anthony's not a psycho, he's just another PUNK. He's a white suburban kid who wishes he was black. It's true. And "thugs never give up"? Well, good for them! Everyone give a round of applause for the almighty thugs! Hip-hip-hooray! Thugs to the rescue! Seriously, though, I will NEVER give up. If you think you're gonna have the last word, think again. Dogg.
Josh you say you never give up, well you gave up about five times and then came back on a different site thinking I wont find you, you did it FIVE times.
Hey Anthony, I don't give a flying fuck what you think, alright? You keep whining about me not being a real person, well, get a life. It's not healthy to keep bitching at people over the internet 24 hours a day.
This Anthony guys is REALLY annoying. Kind of like a house fly that needs to be squashed...
Look at posting 115 and 116, they both contain the word "fly".
How interesting.
Sorry Josh but you been exposed again.
And isn't it kind of wierd that three rap haters are at a rap sight at the same time. I think not.
wow josh back at it again i see. Ya just like to cause a rukass don't ya
Fuck Eminem.
Anthony, comment #115 doesn't have the word 'fly' in it at all. It has the word FLYING. I told you about doing so many drugs. Come on now, dogg.
By the way, Anthony, you did a good job posting as Shaun.
Shaun I have mixed feelings about you coming back, cuzz you dissed me as much as you dissed Josh. But still its nice to see that you are back.
Alright Josh let me resay that. Comment 115 and 116 both have the letters f.l.y. back to back. I guess that you were so proud of what you said under Cannabus, so you got mad and posted a simuliar phrase under your name so you would get credit.
I did not post Shaun's name. That is what happens when you come to a rap site dissin it, you get more than one person after you.
And this time on comment 123 don't have a comebaqck including drugs, try and civilize it up a little bit man, o.k.
Anthony and Josh, why don't you guys just shut the fuck up? This isn't elementary school, it's a poll.
Anthony, quit posting under my name you fucking retard. You thought you were pretty funny on comment #119, didn't you? Grow some balls already.
Eminem isn't a racist....he's a talentless punk.
Eminem sucks!, Anthony sucks!, and Josh you suck worse because you argue about mindless people like them.
You guy are no thugs, I am the real thug.
Thug life, baby.
Eminem and Anthony G are getting married. They're in love. They will sing rap songs together, rob banks together, smoke crack together and spend hours butt-fucking each other. Whoops, I revealed Anthony's big secret. Sorry dogg.
Fact: "Dermath" is really Anthony G. Make this the 11th time that I've exposed you, dogg.
Hey Anthony, I was just over at the "50 Cent - Get Rich Or Die Tryin'" site and I couldn't believe what you posted there. You actually admitted that you're gay? Whoa. I don't like gays, but I have to respect you for coming out of the closet. And you're lucky that you have your brother Rick to protect you from mean people.
I just wanted to comment that I fully support the idea of the source trying to open Black America's eyes as far as racism is concerned. I read the articles; I heard the little free cd. I think their execution is a bit off in the fact that they pointed a lot of fingers at eminem. You have to learn how to tell the difference between smoke and fire benzino. The fact that it is in fact it is mainly an economical discrepancy is the point. Eminem isn't the problem, but rather the problem takes form in Eminem -OR- to say it another way, he's the representative of the problem. I don't excuse/condone his use of the terms he used in the tape because they were in fact just evidence of the problem and not the problem itself. Like it said in the magazine 'he's just the symptom, not the disease'. The fact that it was even EVER in him to say that is evidence that there is a problem. Ok, maybe he was young and stupid, and apologizes for it now, but that doesn't excuse it as a problem. He STILL doesn't see it as too much of a problem because he hasn't addressed the statement himself in a public way other than that silly ass letter.
IF YOU DONT SEE THE BIG PROBLEM HERE YOU ARE BLIND
Not blind because of ignorance, but blind in rather that there is a measure of control as to how far people think or realize to acknowledge the bigger issue. He said that dirt in his past, granted time could change a person. But why would that word come out in that fashion when he got angry? I know when I'm angry I often slip out my true feelings or rather 'things I didn't mean to say out loud'.
Sure Black people have to take a responsibility for the way the word is used now, but who the hell introduced the word in the first place??? It would be unethical of me to be mad at someone for shooting someone else when I gave him or her the gun. People are so quick to blame the way the word is used now, that it is in fact swept under the rug about where the word came from in the first place.
Why is it he gets a free ride to say he's going to USE black music to make HIMSELF wealthy? Sure it's arrogant, but am I supposed to ignore the racial underlings of that statement just because that's the way he is? No I can't excuse it, I can't blame him specifically either. My problem isn't that he can use black music to make himself wealthy; my problem is that he can boast about it and get a free ride. Maybe music is a more 'artistically opened' demographic, but lets make the example a little broader than 'a black guy can say it too' argument. If I were a black man that was a politician and I said I was going to use this white political stuff to make myself rich, it would get tons of media backlash. This topic is too sensitive, to layered, and way to difficult to even expose or to even begin to approach.
Yea, and I'm going to quote the source, which quoted a movie, which quoted some guy.
"The greatest trick the devil ever played was to convince mankind that he didn't exist."
Please if you read my post, just be a little open to interpretation of how I see these things, and as to why I can agree to the many of the Source's statements. Although I don't blame eminem, like I said, he's just the smoke, not the fire.
Fukin e-thugs, geek ass bitchs!

This posting got boring when anthony g and josh stopped arguing!
Out!
Anyone ever thought that MAYBE Eminem is doing so much with these Black people to save face? Just MAYBE, rigit??
It was rumored Elvis said: "The only thing a black man can do for me is buy my records and shine my shoes". Many would argue HE isn't racist. Hey OF COURSE he's going to say he LOVES Black people right?? He was performing Black music, sure, and like Em, he was getting RICH off it. Some people would tell you ANYTHING if they were making serious money from it. It's call PR.
Not many would want to just say, "Ok, i'm racist everyone" while making a lot of $$$$, they'll do as the saying goes "Deny, Deny, Deny" Money rules over morals and guilt.
As far as women loving $$$$, you COULD call them "groupies" for the CASH. Most women ARE like that whether they love music, or not. It's just how it goes.
Just something to ponder right?? Good talking to you guys.
If eminem was racsist he wouldnt have a black mans name tattoed on his arm.That just shows how much respect he had for proof .A black man.
DETTTTROIT WHAT

Marty's band, Growing Old Disgracefully, can be found at: 

(lose yourself track)
His palms are sweaty, He's white so hell neva be ready
Neva be black, but tha maggot keeps on pretending
Actin hard when we know that he's soft as spaghetti
Silly rabbit, faggot you ain't fuckin' Machiavelli
He plays the part, white boys ain't neva had no heart
He rapes the our art they send him to the top of the charts
Using Pac's name in vein, tha bamma ought to be shot
Drive by and pop see how long it takes to fall from the top
Fake ass chocolate covered candy with a soft ass shell
Yell Me>>L, blast cry baby ass crackers to hell
It's all good that they fed him and let him come out
But they ain't make him bow down and watch his mofo mouth
He's a clown, this Black shit done went to his dome
If the King of THUG LIFE were still upon the throne
It would be on and Dr. Dre would STILL be a bitch
And Slim Shady ass snitches would cease to exist
He wanna be down, let's show him what it's all about
Bust his head like Puffy did Steve Stoute
chorus
You betta watch out
The music, the culture, you stole it, you owe prick
You betta slow your fuckin' role
It only takes one shot to pop and blow back your dome
Sick of you using Black music like it's your White ho
