Ed Lover Says Eminem Is Talented, But Benefited From White Privilege

[BK The Great]

 

[H. Selassie]

He could rap his ass off + got co-signed by the biggest Kingmaker in Hip-Hop history. To put the crux of his success on the simplicity of “he’s white” is disingenuous af.

If it’s that simple, why aren’t Macklemore, Bubba Sparxx, and Ashter Roth making anyone’s Top 5s?

[Whips-n-Chains]

He absolutely benefited from being white. That made him significantly more accessible for a large segment of people who never listened to rap prior to him

It's not the only reason he's big but it's a major reason.

 

[Mike the Executioner]

Let's do the math, if I was black......you know the words.

This is ancient news.

Why are you responding to some shyt he never said?

 

[Groundworks]

Has Ed Lover only found about Eminem now?? Of course he benefited from white privilege, it's been discussed for years now, shyt even Em himself mentions it in his music. It ain't nothing new.

 

[Bar Razor]

Eminem himself has said that.

More breaking news : The sky is blue

 

[god shamgod]

Em literally said it on the song white America

 

[MrRDU]

Duh

 

[bigde09]

Em literally said it on his second album.

"You think of my name now whenever you say, Hi
Became a commodity because I'm W-H-I-T-E
'Cause MTV was so friendly to me"

 

[kevin arnold]

I didn’t have to graduate from Lincoln high school to know that

 

[Redwood]

Eminem himself has said that.

He said they would purposely pit him with other pop acts at the time as well
