Kevin Gates backs Eminem up after Melle Mel’s discrediting comments

Melle Mel’s comments about Eminem is heating up! The legendary rapper from the Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five has recently done an interview with The Art Of Dialogue where he said that Eminem is considered in the top 5 rappers only because he’s white. Latest rapper to weigh in on discussion is Kevin Gates.

“To be honest with you, He [Eminem] is in my top 5 cause he’s the truth. Who can make a song like ‘Stan’? Who has made a song like ‘Stan’? The artistry of it…I don’t get into all that [white & black] thing. There are only real people and fake people. Real people do real things, fake people do fake things. I don’t go off all that.” said Kevin Gates.

“That’s his opinion. I don’t really care to be honest. Like I said, who can write a song like ‘Stan’? That’s my perspective. It’s all about the perspective and everybody is entitled to their own opinion in their own perspective. What I eat, does not make you s–t. What you eat, does not make me s–t.” He added.

Fat Joe, 50 Cent, Kxng Crooked and Page Kennedy also disagreed with Melle Mel’s statement. You can check their responses here and watch Kevin Gate’s interview below:
