Dr. Umar Johnson has recently sat down on The Art Of Dialogue where he slammed rappers for not defending Beyoncé after Country Music Awards snub but attacked him over saying Eminem can not be one of the greatest of all time in hip-hop because he’s white.
“Look at, when I said Eminem could never be a GOAT in hip-hop because he’s not black and black people created hip-hop. Every black rapper you could find came to Eminem’s defense against Dr. Umar. Didn’t the Country Music Association just do what I said we should do? Did they not declare Beyoncé will not be a queen of country music? Didn’t they just do that? Even though she got the highest selling country music song of the year. They said we don’t care. She’s black. She’s not white. So she can not be the face of country music. But when Dr. Umar says the same thing about hip-hop, all these fake a-s gangsta rappers come out of the woodworks and defend Eminem from my accusation.” said Dr. Umar.
Then he continued: “Look at the contradiction. Nobody said nothing when Beyoncé was not nominated. The NAACP didn’t send a letter. The Urban League didn’t send a letter. The Congressional Black Caucus didn’t send a letter. Kamala Harris didn’t pick up the phone and asked why. Joe Biden didn’t say a word. They let it go. But soon when Dr. Umar says Eminem can not be GOAT of a black music genre, I catch holy hell. Ain’t nobody say a damn word to the Country Music Association for shunning Beyoncé. Look at the double standard! Look at the racism! Look at the contradiction.”
“Why can’t we say Eminem can not be considered the greatest artist because we got people like LL Cool J! We got people like Big Daddy Kane! We got people like Kool G Rap! We got people like KRS-One! We got people like Rakim! Who been doing this before Eminem was born. Therefore, we are not gonna let him come in with his white self be the face of hip-hop when there is far more white people in America who can buy up his albums and make him appear to be a GOAT, even if he’s not. We are not going to give him that opportunity because we got veterans in hip-hop who deserve far more credit than Eminem.” Dr. Umar added. You can watch the interview below:
