MY response was simply a parody of your original, half-baked thread. Insert Vince Carter instead of Michael Jordan if it makes you sleep better at night. My point was that it's ignorant to single out Eminem and his ethnicity vis a vis that of the creators of hip hop, anymore than it is to single out black people for achieving new heights in white invented sports. If they have skill, congratulate. Had you mentioned Will Smith, MC Hammer, and Mase along with your whining about Eminem, it would not have seemed so ignorant. Look, when it comes to Eminem's success, I'm glad to see someone with actual skill is going plat instead sold out, wack motherfuckers that employ ghostwriters, like Willie and Puff. Those cats go plat too. Will smith boasts of selling 20 million on Willenium. Put him in too when you start bitching. Look at it this way: the aforementioned wack emcees go plat jacking hits left and right. At least Em's creative. And even Posdnous, a legend himself, says Em can hold his own against most of the emcees that are considered great.
So my point is this: be pissed off about those other wack, unoriginal, exploitative wastes of flesh in the shiny suits. THEN go after Em. He can't help it if he's white. PUff can choose to not jack hit songs. Em is 10 times more creative yet you single HIM out? Seems like you set it off flawed to begin with.
Was it THAT hard to get? I'll take it down a notch next time.
