    GO EM! even though you made a song about abusing women and you got someone who is supposed to be an advocate for domestic abuse singing on the hook….but I digress.

    Ha. Eminem proves that internet leaks and downloading are no excuse for recording artists not selling albums. Recording artists just need to put out better material to inspire people to buy it. Period.

    Now queue XYZ’s punk ass coming in here with his lame “white rapper” diatribe.

    @The Conversation Chamber —

    … You called …?!?

    But no! Now, I’ll just “peruse the ‘net” and throw some serious-bile at, Kelly Rowland, Ciara and Kelly’s best friend, Brandy! Kelly Rowland, the back-up singer “who’ll and where” she’ll-forever-remain in the World’s Consciousness, Hearts and Memory! No shaking Kelly’s memory, as she “knew her place: Behind BEYONCE,” as SHE wasn’t, nor EVER-WILL-BE, “ready for Prime Time …!!!”

    But I see you’re a fan of “The White Rapper.” You relate-to and hold in-high-regard HIS …. “recovery”(?!) But again, I’ll ask: “Which corner did HE have to run?” Which daily-grind did HE have to survive? … Weren’t HIS tights, not-tight-enough(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnWLw2-xRDg) when HE went from “Gimmicky-White Rapper” to now, “The Decades Best” ?!
    … So there-he-goes, running-down the street, “The White Rapper”: A-CREEP IN-A-CAPE!

    So you relate to “The White Rapper” and I’ve NOW-OBVIOUSLY “hit a nerve,” have I?
    ….GOOD!! You’re obviously NOT-OF my reality, YOU never had to “suffer and smile,” YOU never had to “run no-corners,” or “got-chased off-a-corner”; you “who stan for,” that Caped Creepy-Crawler!

    Both Sam and Trent are “House Negros” who’ll worship any-and-every “white and remotely European.” … But I’ll tell you, with my last-breath, with my last “wattage-of-energy,” I’ll continue to reveal “The White Rapper” for-what-HE-is; I’ll continue to reveal the irrelevance of both he AND, TGJ sweetheart, Kelly Rowland ….

    I’ll show the Black Youth that “The White Rapper”=Oprah=”Rick ‘corrections officer Ross”=TMZ(Harvey Levin)=Racist murdering cops=”The Tea Party”= Why YOU – black youth on-the-corner/on-YOUR-grind, will NOW, due to “The White Rapper” find-it-that-much-more difficult, if-not-impossible, ‘to sign a record-deal!’

    … Just-YOU-watch …..

    X,Y,”and Z” — OUT …!!!

    He could release a blank CD, and it’ll still go quadruple platinum in like, three days.

  6. Rapper July 21, 2010

    @True Blue u r right. But he don’t need Rihanna non singing voice to make a hit either. He could have done that song by himself and it would have sky rocket. People think it was her song that went #1 give the guy some credit he did not need her to get to #1 Just look 1.3 million cd’s

    Boy i tell you something he showing the other rappers up big time. they can’t even get a hit to save their lives. Eminem have the white crowd as well a black. But the other rappers will only have a black crowd.

    @Rapper —

    … And that’s exactly-why black folk should “flip the script and reverse the earth”: Support YOUR OWN; “do-like-“YT”-do” … “SUPPORT THOSE WHO-LOOK-LIKE-YOU …!!!!”

    Think I’m overreacting, do you? Do you remember there were ‘recent-calls-for’ a “White NBA ..?” … Guess ‘YT’ got tired of seeing Barack up in 1600 PA Ave, and Millionare-n***** running- on-hardwood-parkay!

    Over…. rATeD! And it is true… ‘He could release a blank CD, and it’ll still go quadruple platinum in like, three days.’ Thats how dumb he got people.

  9. True Blue July 21, 2010

    @ X,Y and Z and Forbidden B-Otch:

    Although commercial success is not always a sign of talent/quality (see: Rihanna), have you considered that, whether you like him or not, maybe he really is that good? Especially for all the ups and downs he’s had in his career, I’m pretty sure that by now he would have no career left if it were just a gimmick?

    Also, Run-DMC, Tupac, Biggie and Jay-Z all have ethnically diverse fan bases, and the last I checked they’re black. On the flip side, nobody’s checking for Vanilla Ice, and he’s white.

  10. CONVERSATION CHAMBER July 21, 2010

    I can’t think of any other white rapper who has had a fraction of the same success or been as well received as Eminem has, so all that long-winded tripe that clowns like “X,Y,Z” spouts about his color advantage is nothing but a load. Historically, being white has either meant not being welcomed into genre….and the few that were embraced and blew up (Vanilla Ice, Marky Mark, Kid Rock, Bubba Sparxx) saw their music careers die fifteen minutes later. Eminem is eleven years past his debut album, and is still hugely received. Get over your desire to see it as a conspiracy theory and accept the fact that he has a staunchly dedicated fan base (of not just white people) who anticipate buying his albums. Period.

    @X,Y,”and Z”
    OK – like usual half of what you wrote just went way over my head (sometimes reading your stuff is like trying to decipher poetry 🙂 ), but anyway I’ll put in my own little comment.
    I know some people put down Em for having a weak voice, but for me its what he does with what he’s got that I like. I like his style of rapping, the lyrics – the whole package really. Maybe he’s not really rap in the original way with the batman outfits and such, but so?
    Are black rappers really not able to sell because of him? He’s cost me £20 of my cash over the last 2 years – I’m not rich, but that’s left me plenty to buy other rappers’ music and since he’s the only white rapper (that’s well known anyways) all my other music is from black rappers.
    Should I only buy stuff by people who look like me? To me that would be to deny part of my heritage – things aren’t always so black or white when you’re not all black or white.

    @X,Y,”and Z”:

    I don’t understand why you’re getting so racist…

    If you really get this “SUPPORT THOSE WHO-LOOK-LIKE-YOU …!!!!” thing then I don’t see many (if any) black celebrities getting the light as they do now…

    I am white European, and I like celebrities of black, white, asian, hispanic, indian, arab and whatever-it-is origin and looks… I don’t see the color of their skin anymore… I used to when I was a child and when I didn’t see many non-white faces… The blacks or the asians all looked the same to me… I couldn’t distinguish between them…

    But in these last 10-20 years when I’m watching a movie or something and at the end if you ask me about the characters who from what race was I probably won’t be able to give you an answer… Especially for those who look light brown… Cuz I am from the southern sub-european race with brown eyes and hair and somewhat tanned skin complexion from the Mediterranean and I can relate to both white (pale, pink) people and to the more tanned, brown and black people… 🙂

    And my comment doesn’t have anything to do with Eminem whom I am indifferent to but to the principles of freedom and justice for everyone… 🙂
