To many of us, Eminem will always be one of the best rappers out there.
For many nineties kids, listening to Eminemwas a huge part of growing up as we all worryingly bonded together while we rapped the lyrics of ‘Stan.’
And it’s hard to deny the impact that 51-year-old has had on rap music – with his multi-syllabic style and tongue-in-cheek schemes, he’s loved by many.
However it appears that Dr Umar Johnson doesn’t agree as the motivational speaker has argued that Eminem ‘can’t be considered the GOAT of rap’ because he’s white.
Dr Umar joined Joe Budden on his podcast, The Joe Budden Podcast, and ended up slipping into a passionate tirade about white people participating in Black culture.
Claiming that they can do it ‘as a hobby’, he went to say: “Eminem has all the privileges of a white male and all the privileges of being in the hip hop community, so we got to be careful about letting non-africans into our community.”
Budden, who has had some beef himself with the rapper, added: “I don’t like that,” before interjecting: “You don’t think Eminem is one of the greatest rappers of all time?”
To which Dr Umar said: “According to who?”
And Budden responded: “According to rap fans?”
Umar continues to share his opinion, further claiming to Budden that putting him at the top of the list is ‘white supremacy’.
He said: “No non-African can ever be the best of anything African.”
“It’s an insult to the ancestors. It’s an insult to the race and it’s an insult to every Black person.”
