I know that some black people feel anger towards Eminem or that he cheated them because they have bought his music only to find out that he habors resentment towards blacks (particularly black women). Personally I feel neither, because I have never supported Eminem or his music. I have never supported Eminem nor any white rapper before him (Vanilla Ice, Third Base, Beastie Boys, etc.), because I view them with suspicion: Throughout the 20th century whites have repeatedly entered black music forms (usually with the help of a naive-money hungry Negro) and took over.
We have seen this with Jazz, with Rock & Roll, with Disco, and now with Hip Hop. It is difficult to even find a modern Black Jazz or Rock & Roll group. Not only that but one of the main reasons Hip Hop was founded was to create an alternative to Disco, which was being invaded by white artist. White artist are usually less talented than Black artist, but achieve fame and credibility by copying us. They rarely give credit to the original artist, and are often found to harbor resentment towards their Black founders. This was my suspicion about Eminem, and he confirmed them with this "missing" song.
I made comparisons of Eminem to Elvis when I first heard his music. It's ironic that he compares himself to the "King". Eminem knows the formula to success in music: Get a foolish black artist to sponsor you, copy his style, start with a black fan base, then switch to a white one, sit back a make more money than a black artist could ever dream of. I give one thing to Eminem he knows his history, unfortunately too many of us don't. Which is why we keep holding the door for these people to come into our house and take over.
The only thing that has disturbed me with this episode is the number of black folk that are calling into radio shows still supporting this man's music. Many point out that black male rappers have disrespected black women also. Disrespect towards blacks period should never be tolerated. However a white man disrespecting sistas needs to be strung up, especially when he eats off of our invention. In reality Eminem won't be hurt by this incident because his current fan base is mostly white. I would just encourage black people to not support his music
