How did brothers let Eminem get away with disrespecting MJ like this?

[SleezyBigSlim]

And still putting him in their top 10 and caping for him.

Dont worry Michael Jackson got his revenge and it's actually the most gangster thing I've ever seen any artist do. Forget about these rappers MJ was the most gangster of them all. He bought Eminem's publishing on one of his hit songs, the Jackson family will forever eat off that shyt. No more problems from Eminem after that, he didn't want more of his publishing to get bought up.

Because we were making the same jokes

People were making R kelly jokes back then aswell. Eminem even dissed him. The only difference between R kelly and Michael back then was R kelly was in the prime of his career dropping classic music. So black folks let it slide. Mj was on the downside of his and wasnt really making music, so it was easier to clown. You can call it fukked up and hypocritical but

 

[Master Teacher]

after he got away with dissing Will Smith for no reason why are you surprised nobody cared

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

...that keeps you on your tippy (tippy) toes
Like that sell out
Not calling no names but really who’s BAD?
I got through obstacles like a whole box of condoms
You can’t forget where you come from

Andre 3000 rapped this in 1995. We are not about to revise Michael Jackson like he was this down by law black man.

 

[Barlow]

cuz hiphop is a myth and full of c00ns

 

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

And still putting him in their top 10 and caping for him.

because the whole world was doing it
and most didnt know that the parents lied about everything

Em got away with a lot of bullshyt because he was the Great White Hope.


The MJ shyt had a little bit of controversy but he was able to skate because Michael was in the midst of that second molestation trial and EVERYBODY was shytting on him for being stupid enough to be accused by ANOTHER damn kid.


People forget that interview MJ did with Martin Bashir was a realllllyyyyy bad look for MJ. He admitted to sleeping in the same bed with boys, he was seen holding hands with his future accuser, and Martin Bashir’s commentary was really fukked up.


Every comedian and late night show was going in on him. Chris Rock shytted on him something SERIOUS. So Em was just par for the course.

It got his video pulled off BET. I don't remember if they ever aired any of the other videos from Eminem during that era:

"BET pulled the video because we feel it is inappropriate to use our network to air a video disparaging Michael's character, or that of any other celebrity," its chairman and founder, Robert Johnson, said.

Michael Jackson threatens to sue over mocking video by Eminem

I do remember this

 

[Premeditated]

Black people were going harder on MJ than ANYBODY 03-09.

Another weak dap fish from Stringer

not true
he set the show on fire at the 03 bet awards,
the video in the op was banned by bet
black folks cheered when he got off those charges
it's was mostly jokes with black folk, white people hated him more

That documentary screwed Michael over because of the way it was edited to make him look even more like a monster. I believe they put out a version of the documentary with scenes that were cut from the original, but it didn't get nearly as much attention.

They did on Fox. Geraldo showed it and Martin Bashir was sucking up to Michael and calling him a great father and shyt. Michael was smart enough to have his OWN camera crew on hand to record and he released it but like you said the damage was already done.
