Ebro Shares His Take On Eminem Not Getting Enough Respect

Eminem has been making headlines since he released his 11th studio album “Music To Be Murdered By” which came as a surprise to Hip Hop fans.

There has been a heated debate whether Eminem still maintains his top spot as a veteran rapper or has been washed off.

Whatever the case may be, it all depends on an individual’s personal opinion. We reported earlier that Eminem broke his own record, replacing “Rap God” with “Godzilla” and penning another fast-paced masterpiece.

Ebro Shares His Take On Eminem Not Getting Enough Respect

Eminem was reportedly rapping 7.6 words per second on the track, spitting a total of 229 words in 30 seconds, Eminem did enough in his third verse to replace himself at the top.

Ebro Darden from Hot 97 morning show, has taken to twitter to share his thoughts on Eminem’s stand in the Hip Hop scene and how his race has influenced his career. Ebro’s words hold weight, It’s no wonder his take on Eminem is particularly strong, leaving much to unpack beyond a surface level.

“Eminem’s success comes from him being white, he’s even said it,” Ebro claims. “Lack of respect also comes from him being white. The disdain for him comes from him being successful @ something Black people own. His love for the culture is why he worked so hard to be great and get respect.”

Ebro pressed further, “Eminem treats Rap how Black folks have had to treat life,” he continues. “Be 5x better, work 5x harder than everyone and still not necessarily get respect.”

It didn’t take long before his tweets sparked a heated debate on twitter. He’s been called out for his claims and was forced to retract back saying the 5x was an overstatement.

You can absolutely hate Eminem musically.

What you cannot say as a HipHop fan is that is a wack rapper…

Eminem’s success comes from him being white, he’s even said it.

Lack of respect also comes from him being white.

The disdain for him comes from him being successful @ something Black people own.

His love for the culture is why he worked so hard to be great and get respect.

Eminem treats Rap how Black folks have had to treat life… be 5x better, work 5x harder than everyone and still not necessarily get respect.

Its a complete false equivalency …. complete!!!

But that is NOT the point.

The point really is Eminem cares enough to keep sharpening his skills!
