Eminem in the Source

Message Bookmarked

So did anyone read the ridiculous "most explosive issue ever" of The Source in which they claim that Eminem and the freemasons are a secret cartel trying to destroy hip hop for black people, that MTV are creating a split between "rap" (black people rapping) and "Hip hop" (white people rapping); that Eminem got Benzino's album dropped from promotion and in which they solicit a bunch of rent-a-quotes from people who really should know better?

The funniest bit is where they are talking about how Em made a tape called "Racist rap hour" in which he insults black people. Um, possibly a joke?

Anyway, I'm kind of worried that it'll actually have an impact...

Mos Def can only be disappointed at that revelation.

if this was going to have an impact it would have done so by now, since it came out a whole month ago. all that has occurred has been a bunch of get-real-Benzino editorials.

I hear Mos Def got drafted by white people in the late rounds of the Racial Draft.

Discuss the impact of this on Benzino's career.

Is that suppoesd to explain the whole Ford Prefect thing?

Actually, if em can make a record about this whole issue he'll reach hitherto unknown heights of self-referentiality. Is he brave enough?
