Dr. Umar’s Statements On Eminem

Dr. Umar Johnson appeared as a current visitor on the ‘Joe Budden Podcast’ for half considered one of a Patreon-exclusive episode that premiered on Monday, December 25.

During the dialog, host Joe Budden requested Dr. Umar if he believes Caucasian rapper Eminem is among the finest rappers of all time.

“Let me say something to you — and this is going into my African fundamentalism,” Dr. Umar replied. “No non-African can ever be the best of anything African. It is an insult to the ancestors. It is an insult to the race, and it is an insult to every Black person…”

Dr. Umar Johnson defined that he believes he wouldn’t be capable to enter one other tradition and turn out to be the “best of anything” that tradition excels in. The activist added that “we have to stop naming non-African people as being the best of any aspect of our cultural prowess because it is an insult.”

“Do you think I can go to Palestine and be the best of anything of Palestinian culture? You never see that,” Dr. Umar continued. “You think I can go to Israel and be the best of anything in Israel, whether it be a cook, an instrumentalist, a dancer? Hell no.”

The Activist Explains His Statements Further

As the dialog continued, Dr. Umar defined that putting a non-Black particular person on the prime of hip hop, a music style created by Black individuals, is “white supremacy.”

The activist then went on to unpack his declare by referencing DJ Khaled, who’s of Palestinian descent, and DJ Vlad, who’s from Ukraine.

“I don’t see Eminem building no schools and hospitals. I don’t see DJ Khaled building no schools and hospitals. I don’t see DJ Vlad building no damn…” the activist defined earlier than being minimize off.

“The truth is Eminem’s lyrics were way more relatable than any other rappers….yes it was kool to hear about the fancy cars, models, bottles,and drug dealing but the truth is Eminem actually rapped about growing up poor, not being happy at home, and being misunderstood by everyone….and didn’t have to pretend to be someone he wasn’t… He’s the 🐐 because of his skill…When you gotta find other things to judge by outside of actual skill then that tells us everything we need to know. Not saying I don’t appreciate every other rapper I listened to, they’re legends too….but respect needs to be given where it’s due.”
