I wonder what hip-hop would be like if only black people bought the albums. No more record sales from white, asian, mexican, arab, etc,

take your pick.

I agree and Em knows this too because he said it in one of his songs (...if I was black I wouldn't sold half), but honestly did everyone think that Eminem has never used this word before since has been battleing and been around the game for so long? Its just that no one thought about it uintil now. He apologized, no big deal.

Eminem said nigger.My homeboy bust me down and looked at it this way. When you have nothing to lose only thing you can do is speak your heart, Em was a nobody so whatver he said it wasn't going to fuck him over so he spoke what he felt, kinda like when you are mad u say tha shit you were meaning to say but didn't. So now that he is huge and he knows if he says a word like that in a mostly black dominated rap game that he will be thrown out and won't get the one thing thats more important then money RESPECT. So who is to say he didn't just speak his mind when he had nothing to lose? Do i think Eminem is a racist?No, well probably not, i don't know what goes on in any man's head.

I'm not saying what Em said was right, in fact I say he is wrong, but Pun use to say the N word all the time and I dont see people cracking on him.

I'm saying he fuck'n blows my mind somtimes when he raps. So therefore I will buy his albums. Same with Canibus, Kurupt, j-Live, Rakim, etc.

Colour of skin isn't supposed to mean shit about shit no more. but it does to some so fuck it.

The thing is though, I (and anyone else) dont really know if eminem is racist or not... but look at it logically... if you take in account all the facts, he cant be... how many people in this thread can say they were the victims of true racism? And i dont mean "hey Nazi your gay" or "go back to India" or some shit like that. I mean true racism. Racists are people like Edgar Hoover, Hitler, George Bush - who have a persistent grudge against an ethnic group, and feel the need to rid themselves of that ethnic group. They believe the world is better without that race of people. No 16 year old kid can make a decision like that.

Although many of you dont know it, most real racists have a reason they hate a race. No one just goes "yeh i hate that colour" or some shit like that. The reason is usually false, but the racist believes it is right.

For example, Hitler's claim towards Jews was economical - he though they were gaining too much power in the German economy. This pissed him off, because he was a Facist, "pure" German. So he decided to start killing them.

George Bush believes Arabs and Muslims are a national, terrorist threat. Therefore he invades their countries and kills them to find their "existing" nuclear weapons.

Now think about it. Anyone who claims to hate african american women because one of them dumped him (a pretty stupid reason compared to the other two), isnt racist. Hes just plain stupid - and ignorant. And who are the people most likely to say something out of stupidity and ignorance? Kids.

^ and Eminem was a kid when he said that stuff... so there you go.

Fuckin Jennifer Lopez said nigga and it was alright. But now that somebody found out that em said that shit ages ago its a big uproar. how can u justify one and not the other, cause i know damn well there ain't shit black about her.

Look i dont see wot all this shit is about, i'm black, and i dont give a fuck if he sed it or not. Em is a good rapper and the source has it out for him. benzino can just kiss my ass to, he should shut up and just give in to the fact he got dun in "nail in your coffin" and stop being a little fuck. i've heard black people callin white people crackers so whats the difference. at the end of the day their just words!!!!!

em was wack n impressionable then...but thats no excuse...he was wrong
