I rock with most of his points but with the Eminem bashing i think he's turning into somebody who gets off on saying outlandish shyt now and getting attention. He even said it in those tweets "it fuels me". He has a platform now where everything he says is the gospel. He now has to say off the wall shyt to keep his name relevant.

What exactly did he say that was outlandish?

Em not being a top rapper cuz he lacks a club banger

Ok, I kinda skipped over that thread this past weekend. I have to visit it and see if that was out of context. Damn near everything else he's said I've agreed with. Him saying that you'll never see any group of black dudes in the hood bumping Eminem was pretty accurate.

Actually it looks like white people being racist fuels him.

Ive agreed with most his points also i just have a feeling that the more popular he gets that he'll turn more into a shock jock just to keep his name relevent. He knows his name is starting to hold more and more weight. Hell, look at the coli. Everytime he gives an opinion a thread is created.

You calling me out playboi? :birdman:

But seriously, If racist whites exposing their racism gives him his shock then what is the problem?

I'm actually glad that one of hip hop's elder statesmen has had a consistent platform to voice his issues with what is going on with our culture and the music. I wish some of our more prominent artists would speak up unfettered about some of this shyt without pandering to the powers that be.

I mean if he truly believes what he's saying then there's no problem.:manny: I just know that alotta skip bayless's of the world turn more into "entertainers" and will only say things to get a reaction out of ppl.

That is true. New school rap is fukking up so the originals need to step up and take it back to black.
