Guests in Hip Hop

[Phil Banks]

I can't stand Eminem's music. But I don't think he's a guest in anything. Hip Hop in my opinion is urban culture not Black culture. Lord Jamar is racist. He's also wack as fuck and I haven't heard a verse of his I've liked ever. His beats are dope. I don't think we could call Rick Rubin or even the Beastie Boys guests. Shit even Vanilla Ice in his own way advanced the culture and opened doors. By coining it as Black owned or something it's exluding others and that's exactly what Hip Hop was never about for me.


LJ started all this shit to put Em in an almost unwinnable position I don't agree with him at all though. Honestly the guy is cringe city as is Eminem IMO two old cornballs I couldn't careless about. This arguement has rubbed me wrong since he presented it a year or so ago though.
