Macklemore says him & Eminem are guests in hip-hop Posted on April 2, 2023 By Remy Gelenidze Macklemore has recently appeared on CBS Morning promote his new album, titled “Ben” which include features from NLE Choppa and Dj Premiere among others.A short clip from the upcoming interview was shared by Macklemore himself where the host asked him how he looks at being a white rapper in a predominantly black genre on which he replied: “I think it is true [that I’m the guest in hip-hop]. It is true and I agree. If you look at the origin of where hip-hop came from and what was happening in New York City, what was happening in the Bronx, and the way black people and people of color have been treated historically in America from the jump, this was the music that was birthed out of oppression.” said Macklemore.Then he continues: Hip-Hop is inclusive so there’s always been an open door to a certain extent. But I’m a guest, Em [Eminem] is a guest. Doesn’t matter how good we get. Doesn’t matter how great Eminem is. We’re guests in the culture. Hundred percent. And that’s not to say that I don’t belong here… I absolutely belong here. But you still have to realize this is not your house. You’re a guest! Take Your shoes off and help with some dishes.” You can watch the interview below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by @macklemore [VIA]RECENT RELATED ARTICLESEminem & Royce da 5’9” Had Private Conversation About Kendrick Lamar & Drake BeefApril 18, 2026Eminem Becomes Grandad of Two as Alaina Welcomes Her First ChildApril 17, 2026Rappers With the Most Songs Over 1 Billion Streams on SpotifyApril 17, 2026Suga of BTS Names Eminem as Top MC of All Time in New Rolling Stone InterviewApril 16, 2026Tony Yayo and Millyz Talk Eminem, 50 Cent, and the G-Unit LegacyApril 16, 2026Royce 5’9″ Talks Mental Health, Kendrick Lamar & Drake Beef, Eminem & MoreApril 15, 2026 EminemMacklemore
