Vlad Says Eminem Has Way Worse Racist Tapes That Jimmy Iovine Bought To Prevent From Coming Out

[BK The Great]

Wonder what would happen if social media today caught wind of what Em said would he even get cancelled? Cause a lot of people would still stick up for him.

They also said it was all jokes. They had some kinda session where it was like a racist segment and they was joking around.

Em is 1 of the good c@cs. We need more like him. Why can't yall see this

You clearly aren't black, stop pretending.

The same very social media would have been used to protect him during his prime. Jimmy Iovine/Interscope would have begun passing money to social media influencers. They would have also used them to deflect back to Benzino/Dave Mays' 'mismanagement' of the Source.

A lot of strings were pulled when those tapes were first released that news media hardly even covered it at the point in time. shyt was swept under the rug.


Years later Eminem tried to use Trump's rise to prove himself as non-racist and pander to black people. A lot of us saw right through it though.

Yea that Revival shyt backfired on him, the Freestyle was ehh but it was used as a marketing tool and when that Tracklist dropped full of pop acts it was obvious what they were doing. If he really wanted to go in he should talked about social injustice, he did touch on police brutality but that song he made wasn’t all that great to begin with.

Em actually dropped the N bomb with the hard ER in a magazine? And he thought that was ok? Yea he's buggin. Suge wanted to put hands on Em when those tapes leaked, he had a interview on a XXL mag




Suge: Don’t get me wrong, I support anyone who come together as a unit and make good music. But hip-hop supposed to be about ghetto politics, about the culture of the inner city. And you got a lot of these artists dissing on record—whether it’s ’Pac and Biggie, Jay-Z and Nas, 50 and Game. A lot of ’em talking about keeping it real, how they off the block and all that bullshyt. They’ll talk about every artist in the business and they mama. Except Eminem.

XXL: What’s your problem with Eminem?​

This is a guy who as an artist comes out and says all Black women is nikka bytches and gold diggers. Now, I never had a problem with him before. When Eminem came out, I liked him. I thought he could rap, and I thought he was funny. He’s the “Weird Al” Yankovic of the day. But when you start saying Black women is nikka bytches and gold diggers, then I got a problem ’cause I got a mother, I got daughters.

Understood. And not to excuse Eminem, but haven’t you put out your share of records, Doggystyle, etc., that don’t exactly exalt Black women?
First of all, we paid the price for that with women’s groups and shyt. And it’s different. People can call themselves nikkas and bytches, but you cross a line when you start stereotyping a race. Eminem be making his money off Black people and Black culture, then turning ’round and degrading Black women. He’s a racist.

Suge is lying here and not keeping it 100.
About not having a problem with Em before the leaked tape? LIE

Since Dre split with him, Suge has pressed, threatened, and tried to intimidate Dre and the people he worked with. He purchased entire front sections of seats at dates of Dre tours, and had blood members sitting there to cause problems or scare the Aftermath artists.

One year, when The Source Awards took place.....Suge sent out threats, and to avoid problems, the show had certain artists do taped performances in remote locations..."The Source Island". Em was one of the artist who performed outside the venue the show took place in....because he was one of the targets of the threats.


it's fukk eminem, but suge lying and saying he's riding for Black people, or that he feels personally insulted by em's leaked comments is a joke.

Yea Suge probably had problems with Em way before the tapes out of his affiliation with Dre I’m guessing.

Eminem at 30 wasn't the most mature c@c. Eminem at 18-21 was even dumber. I just don't like how we ignore what Em has done for the culture. Like I said, he coulda went the kid rock route when shyt got rough.

The culture was fine before Eminem and would've been fine without him existing.

What has he done for the culture? School me on that, please.

Outside of bringing in a bigger white audience by default i dont see much
else.
Can he rhyme? Yes, he's technically skilled. So are many other emcees.

Again, dont see much else..

People might say he brought the world 50 Cent, he’s also put on guys like Royce & Obie even D12 but nobody listens to them guys anymore. He did sign Westside Gunn & Conway, even got a new song with him and kind of gave him a big look for that. But I get where you’re coming from. Em’s music isn’t something to be proud of listening to. Dr. Dre saw money signing Eminem.

If there were worse, then why release the lightweight ones first? Why would they protect worse tapes and not just destroy them altogether leaving potential for damage to be done upon release?

Benzino wasn’t wrong when he was beefing with Em, he is protected too much. His record label probably destroyed them tapes cause if Em’s credibility is ruined they won’t be making any money off of him since he is their cash cow.

Where Benzino is at fault is Eminem was given an Unsigned Hype column, was covered a lot before SSLP even dropped. Then he used the magazine to diss Eminem. He invited Eminem into the culture and helped legitimize Eminem's position within the culture by covering him and not only giving him the Unsigned Hype column, but Eminem was covered in several sections of the magazine before he dropped his Interscope album. Then he even had magazine covers. Now if Benzino knew about the tapes back then and only released them during the beef, he is in the wrong.

And a lot of people still don't know what started the beef in the first place. Eminem made "Without Me" which pretty much celebrated his privilege in a Black culture and then said it would be empty without him. He may have been parodying white privilege or joking around, but you don't joke or parody something like that. Benzino was RIGHT in calling it out and he was a lone wolf in that battle. The integrity of that battle was lost when he used the magazine to go at Em. Benzino was fighting a winning battle with all the wrong weapons. This was bigger than battle rapping and it should have gotten more attention than it did.

Benzino wasn’t gonna win that war, especially with the machine that Em had backing him. That’s why every “battle” he was involved with made him look like the winner. He fell back with that Like Toy Soldiers joint, and after Proof passed he didn’t want to get involved with beef.

This story didn't die and people weren't pressured. Those tapes were leaked and if I'm not mistaken copies were pressed and sold with the magazine:

NEW YORK — Eminem found himself on the defensive Tuesday (November 18) after The Source magazine owners Ray Benzino and Dave Mays held a press conference to play a recording of the MC delivering racial slurs.

On the first of two tracks purportedly recorded in 1993, an audibly young male, who says he's Eminem raps, "All the girls I like to bone have big butts/ No they don't, 'cause I don't like that n----- sh--/ I'm just here to make a bigger hit."

The second track, made in 1988, featured Eminem rapping about a black girlfriend he broke up with. "Blacks and whites, they sometimes mix/ But black girls only want your money, 'cause they dumb chicks," he rhymes. Later in the freestyle Em raps, "Never date a black girl, because they only want your money/ And that sh-- ain't funny."

The first track was only a few lines long, but the second track went on for several minutes with Em — seemingly rhyming off the top of his head — repeatedly saying he did not like black girls and that they were only out to get money. Both tracks sounded amateurish.

"Don't make this right now a double standard," Benzino said at the press conference. "We gotta treat this the same way you treat Mike Tyson, like you treat Kobe Bryant, like you treat R. Kelly, like you treat O.J. Simpson."

Eminem responded to the latter track on Tuesday by insisting he isn't racist and explaining that the recording was made when he was just 15, foolish and angry.

"Ray Benzino, Dave Mays and The Sourcehave had a vendetta against me, Shady Records and our artists for a long time," Eminem said in a statement. "The tape they played today was something I made out of anger, stupidity and frustration when I was a teenager. I'd just broken up with my girlfriend, who was African-American, and I reacted like the angry, stupid kid I was. I hope people will take it for the foolishness that it was, not for what somebody is trying to make it into today."

Eminem's manager, Paul Rosenberg, said Wednesday that neither he nor Eminem had "heard or heard of" the first track Benzino and Mays played.

Eminem, 50 Cent and the rest of the Shady/Aftermath team have had a long-running feud with The Source, fueled by Benzino's accusations that the media operate on a double standard when it comes to the multiplatinum white MC and that an artist of color could never get away with saying some of the things Em says in his music (see "Benzino Ignites Beef By Calling Eminem '2003 Vanilla Ice'").

After their comments, Benzino and Mays refused to entertain questions about the tape and its origins. They did say they plan to include a CD of the Eminem recordings in February's issue, and they promised another press conference concerning Eminem will be held in the future, when they'll answer questions and have civic leaders and members of the hip-hop community on hand.

The Source Digs Up Tape Of Eminem Using Racial Slurs

This was a hot topic that made its rounds. It eventually did die down like all hot topics do, but this was an issue. After the tapes, there was never any follow up.
