Brand Nubian rapper Lord Jamar was questioned by Vlad TV about a Korean man who was pictured in blackface in a photograph with Snoop Dogg, which went viral at the top of this year. While addressing the picture, Jamar first informed those watching that with his travel overseas he’s noticed that people in Asia “worship” black culture.
He then went on to state that because of their infatuation with black culture, the man who was dressed in blackface may have been paying tribute to black culture rather than mocking it.
“From going overseas and shit like that, I happen to know that Asian people—I mean, I’ve never been in Korea, but I’ve been to Japan. And I know they straight up worship some black shit,” Lord Jamar said. “So, when I see an Asian do something like that I honestly feel in my mind that it’s more out of reverence. And trying to actually salute in a way. Rather than a mockery and some sort of—as if a white person here in America did. You understand? Their whole history with it is totally different…They really might have dressed up thinking they were going to impress Snoop with that.”
Lord Jamar later brought “racial memory” into his conversation on the Korean man in blackface. He revealed that a Korean person in blackface isn’t the same as a white, American person in blackface because here in the United States most people are familiar with the controversial history behind blackface.
“You might even have a white guy. He didn’t intentionally do something, but you come from a country where that’s in your racial memory,” he said. “As a white person and a black person. It’s within our racial memory to know what blackface is in this country. Not necessarily in Korea… So yeah, I don’t know if I would have been offended by that. Coming from that particular person and their intentions…I feel like they come from a different culture, a different background, different intention.”
It was in January of this year when a smiling Snoop Dogg was pictured with a Korean man in blackface and a dreadlock wig. The picture was posted onto the rapper’s Instagram page along with the following caption, “Stunt double. Hahahahahah. This nigha here !!”
The picture of Snoop and his Korean fan can be found below (via Vlad TV).

Did Vlad ask Lord Jamar about how Snoop be getting his nails manicured and the tips painted?
“people in Asia worship black culture.”
Word? Then why the fuck they act so shady towards us out here?
Because every fucking day those fucking ugly lil niggaz come rob my whole night shop empty!
its true asians hate negroes in america
Nigga you stupid! We act shady towards us out here, where you been living at in a hole
SO A WHITE BOY CANT PAY TRIBUTE TO BLACK CULTURE WITH SOME BLACK FACE PAINT?
if he’s ignorant of what “blackface” historically represents in this country. but then it’s on him for whatever repercussions may occur. i mean, you may be ignorant of what a burning cross historically represents, but it’s still fucked up to light one up.
That shit look mad corny smh Snoop is a bitch for even taking a picture with that loser
Shut up!
Lord Jamar is deleting all the posts about white rap, except for bieber & MGK! He is the new owner of hhdx!!
I did not know that, thats why all these dumb jamar post.
For someone who denounces homosexuality, Jamar sure seems to be special friends with Vlad…
they’re not even in the same room Vlad is on the phone usually
hurry up and buy!
wait…… so a non story gets coverage to make it an even more non story………..
HHDX YOU FUCKING SUCK DONKEY DICK
you dont get it do you?
a non story with lord jamar’s name in it will literally generate thousands and thousands of views and probably a hundred or more comments just today. they running a business here based on web traffic and ad revenue.
Amen …I have been preaching the same thing since last year when they realized Lord Jamar NON story’s elicit increased page views which = increased ad revenue, higher CPM rates
which is ironic bc we all have ad blocker… LOL
i dont
that’s actually a compliment….nothing like the minstrel shows. Jamar is on point.
That picture is hilarious. Asian dude looks so ridiculous. Snoop obviously wasn’t offended so whatever.
Everybody wants to be like black people and the Korean was just honest.. Dope as Shit to me..
The funniest part is of how he’s been to Japan and therefore it might be plausible that people in Asia worship Black culture. He’s so “color” struck right now that a lot of what he says only makes sense to people as ignorant or left out of the loop as him. One good thing about all of this is he will definitely learn as he goes, and long boring explanations will come as he tries to say things to impress one side over another. When you try to impress others, you might say some things that aren’t truly in your heart. People will call you on those things, and they aren’t you so you’ll need help learning, explaining and coming to grips with not being the know-all. lol! You don’t sound educated, you sound like a confused protege of Darwinism that can’t explain issues without divisionism. Care for one doesn’t mean hate for another, I hope you know that!!
I do see Lord Jamar’s point tho, and it’s a really good one!
Vlad and his VladTV are hate mongering pieces of shit
hes giving a black man a platform to express his thoughts!
YES! Another Lord Jamar story. You know I gotta get my daily fix. Hey HHDX you ought to have a 24/7 section on all the shit Lord Jamar thinks every single day on every single topic!
Lord Jamar is the Fox News of hip hop. Racism in Korea is real. The rampant racism in South Korea stems from the common belief that Koreans are a “pure blood” that have been homogenous throughout history. Biracial men were banned from serving in the South Korean military until January 2011. A 2009 poll revealed that 47% of Korean children were uncertain or negative on the subject of whether they could make friends with a biracial child.
Who is Lord Jamar?
Why are we hearing about Lord Jamar?
Lord Jamar Career Is Dead

FUCK DANIELLE HARLING FAKE ASS JOURNALIST. MORE LIKE A SENSATIONALIST. HPE YOUR PROUD OF YOURSELF CUNT. YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THE DOWNFALL OF HIP HOP FOR A MEASLY PAYCHECK YOU DUMB BITCH.
Co MuthaFuckin Sign
Probably not the best idea for that fan to do, but if Snoop didn’t care then why is this even news? That fan wasn’t weighing the pro’s and con’s of it. He was trying to get attention and a pic with his favorite rapper.
if your black and you hate on jamar its the equivelent of hating on the black culture and hating on our selves. Jamar is a real nigga and these whites don’t know the struggles of a real nigga thats why they hate on jamar. Real niggas respect the husstle.
real niggas take their clothes off and get in the shower with another nigga dicks out for the camera to make rent money
Mm Hmm. Intriguing. Let us reference our urban dictionaries:
REAL NIGGA
1.
real nigga
Contrary to popular belief, a Real Nigga is someone who always be ‘themselves’,not someone who goes on killing sprees and doesnt care about anything. But, being a real nigga, being yourself means showing everything about yourself but your weaknesses, knowing them at the same time.
It’s all about being real and true to yourself. The opposite of real is fake.
You don’t have to be black to be a real nigga, but it helps.
Lord jamar isnt as real as gucci is. Gucci is the true definition of a real nigga. He kills niggas he beats up niggas he treats rachet hoes how the deserve to be treated tossing em out of speeding cars. He was a drug dealer before rapper. He runs the streets he runs the cells he is the blueprint of a real nigga.
@ “real nigga”: There are 40,000 blacks in the US, and you’re acting like they should all have the same opinion? That’s not how it works, there isn’t one type of black person or one type of white person.
think there might be more than 40’000 blacks in the U.S. bro. shit in a square mile in atlanta there’s probably more than that
” being a real nigga, being yourself means showing everything about yourself ”
I guess Lord Jamar is a real nigga afterall, he showed us EVERYTHING on OZ in that shower scene.
I hope Snoop school dude on how that is not cool!
some koreans i ran into in LA are biased towards blacks. I wouldn’t give him a pass.
The so-called coke rapper is the blackface from now.
telling stories to kill kids from their own hood with drugs.
dancing for the snobs, you hoes.
Therefore Gucci Main and his friends is a black nazi.
main lol
From going overseas and shit like that, I happen to know that Asian peopleI mean, Ive never been in Korea, but Ive been to Japan.”
Yeah same thing I guess, you racist fuck.
LOLOL
lmao, seriously man, this guy is such a pretentious asshole. like we’re all chillin like “THANK YOU FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE LORD JAMAR”
You’re not an authority for shit bruh
What I learn most about white people from reading these mostly white comments, is that they have a massive superiority complex. They’re very self righteous and think they’re somehow “above” the things a lot of ‘black people’ choose to rap about. “How dare they talk about the struggles they had to deal with at the hands of white people, how dare they rap from the perspective a person from a white created ghetto, how dare they rap about having a better life after being deprived of anything and everything their whole lives. They should act like hipsters or pick up a dictionary and use big words to impress us. We control this shit and we should dictate what they do, even though they invented and we’re just guests” lol That’s what you guys sound like to me.
White people have forgotten that they’re just guests in our house. They have gotten WAAYYYY to bold and comfortable with this shit, look at these comments. They’re no longer just buying rappers music for what it is, or accepting it… They actually think they can control it. They feel entitled to our music, as if it’s the natural order of the world for them to take what we have. It’s kind of unbelievable to me. It’s articles like this that remind me why I don’t have any white friends..
Get off your fuckin’ pedestal, you racist fuck. White people invented basketball, so what, our you guests in our house? Too comfortable with our shit?
And if articles like this are keeping you from having white friends, and you think that all white people act like the people here who make up just one demographic of white people (rap fans), then you’re a terrible person. I’m white, and what you’re saying is pretty much like me not having any black friends because of how they’re portrayed on WSHH.
Shut the fuck up.
“What I learn most about white people from reading these mostly white comments, is that they have a massive superiority complex.”
There’s a reason we’re called the superior race.
i dont have any black friends because the only black guy in my area stole my bike
great re-post
and they responded accordingly, kudos
agreed with everything up 2 pickin up a dictionary cuz rappers need to do that shit cuz they sound ignorant n yeah stop hatin on the GOD JAMAR peace
Notice that Jamar thinks blacks should be ‘worshiped’, he was happy when he thought that was what this kid was doing and he likes eminem because he thinks he does the same thing
https://hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.27740/title.lord-jamar-says-he-respects-eminem-for-worshipping-black-emcees-
lol I love how you guys keep reposting this comment. I first wrote this like a year or two ago….Props to whoever is saving my comments and reposting them. That shows they must mean something.
Haha, thank god most people aren’t so stupid they look to anonymous internet trolls to make conclusions about an entire race.
ZOMG! That blackface kid looks just like Lord Jamar
lolz

Ok, I’m sorry guys. Our editor said we each needed to have a story or two for today, and I was a little hungover this morning so I just checked to see if Lord Jamar was still talking about anything, which he obviously was. Thank God he keeps talking, I don’t know how I’d have a job, otherwise! LOL
Didn’t you write for Refined Hype at one point?
^you really can’t tell that he’s not Danielle Harling can you?
Just imagine how stupid the average person is, and understand that half the world is even stupider than that.
Did Asians have a history of racist black face in their culture? The only other place I’ve heard of it existing is Peru where it exists today (Look up “Negro Mama”).
From what I understand some of the Romance languages still use “Negro” and Russians use “” (pronounced negr – from negro) to denote a black person because their history with the word is different. So black face could just mean something different to their culture.
they have a rich history of costume performance, that’s why people who know their history ain’t mad
it’s the clowns who are in an uproar
Lord Jamar is right more than half the time. Ya’ll just all made cause he speaks truth ya’ll cant handle. I’m Not Impressed.
Your posting is very hard to follow. Please help. According to you, Lord Jamr is right in over 50% of the statements he makes. So do you think this is one of those times where he’s right? Or is he wrong here? We’re evidently “made” due to his alleged speeches of truth which we supposedly cannot fathom. But then you say you’re not impressed? So you too disagree with Mr. Jamar? I’m so lost…
You’re a fucking corny loser and you should stop posting. “I’m Not Impressed” like people give a fuck.
Nobody’s trying to impress you dick boy.
I actually didn’t post this comment, but I agree. lol I’m not impressed
Very ignorant on Snoop part very sad on Lord Jamar proves dope is bad on the brain when you cant be a man you gotta paint your finger nails put on a dress Snoop is a hot mess!
ignorance is bursting out the seams of your comment box
Mr. 5% got that white money from his work on OZ after unfortunately showing us full frontal in that shower scene as someone alluded to earlier. This guy’s such a joke, don’t know who really pays attention or knows who he is anymore. For god’s sake, Serch fluidly and kindly put this clown in his place on White Rapper Show.
Yeah, he’s mostly right on this one, especially how he explained why it would be more sensitive in US.
jamar needs to go back to school cause this foo is twisted.
He makes assumptions on Koreans, based on his knowledge of Japanese people. Think about that.
we did, you point is?
^ His point is that Jamar is ignorant as fuck about this.
Great point. It just goes to show how ignorant this man is and Im one of the few people that understands where he’s coming from most of the time.
THE WORLD COMES FROM BLACK PEOPLE LIVE WITH IT , FACT
HUH, your ass isn’t self righteous like you think it is. Get on with your everyday business and stop making out as if the entire world owes you gratification, sorrow, and respect. From all of your comments you are deserving of none of them apart from sorrow you pathetic person.
so basically he’s saying he’s racist against whites only
AS ARE THEY TO US ……HISTORY VS OURSTORY
Again, you seem the one who is blind. Why don’t you hate black people too as you were slaves from black masters and sold from black masters? You should hate everyone and be curled up in a foetus position all day.
MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT!!
DETOX FINALLY COMING OUT ON JULY 8, 2014. FIRST SINGLE WILL BE CALLED, REMEMBER ME FEATURING EMINEM, K DOT, AND SNOOP DOGG!! SHOULD BE OUT IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS
ok…
If any of you got a problem with us posting articles on Lord Jamar, then we invite you to suck on DEEZ NUTS! This our website and we post whatever the fuck we want. So if you don’t like it then kick rocks muhfuggazzz
lol….
ha thats why your site is a joke you fuckin clowns. i come here for gossip not music news you dont know shit about music
fuck lord jamar been listening to rap since 1988 never heard of this homo
why? so hiphopdx don’t have heads constantly reminding em how dumb this shit is? jamar is obviously broke and yall obviously keep putting paper in his pocket to run his mouth on sum bullshit. i mean face it, outside hiphopdx’s little world, how much do his comments really affect the culture? none? thats what i thought.
This dude is a clear racist. The only time he isn’t putting down other races is when someone ‘worships’ black people. Asians ‘worship’ black people, eminem ‘worships’ black people (https://hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.27740/title.lord-jamar-says-he-respects-eminem-for-worshipping-black-emcees-)
He thinks black people should be treated as Gods, you can tell just by listening to his interviews.
YOU MUST BE BLIND IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE , TOO MUCH TO TYPE………..
He seems to have his eyes and ears open more than you, HUH.
Is this dude still talking? Him and Vlad must be butt buddies or something….seriously
HIS ARGUMENT ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE IN THIS CASE…
Sure it does…………….*pushes coca back into his padded cell*
Lol
THIS DUDE SOUNDING MORE AND MORE IGNORANT EVERY INTERVIEW.. YOU CANT HAVE ONE RULE FOR ONE RACE AND ONE RULE FOR ANOTHER
well he made a pretty legit argument fuck boy what u gon do? cry about it to yo white parents?
And what are you going to do, Anon, cry in your welfare check?
“well he made a pretty legit argument”
How so then? All he did was say its ok for non whites to do that shit because they dont have slaver history. Well the fact of the matter is that there are tons of white countries, most in fact that were never involved in being slavers, so why label them the same as the slavers just because they share the same skin color as the slaver countries?? That my friend is judging others based on skin color which is racist and makes you a hypocrite. Do you honestly think MLK would agree with this dude??
He said that if a white person did it you would question their motives because the history of black face in American…He just said that Korean cat may have had just pure motives…..

been to Asia for business a few times as a dj its true what Lord is saying in this article about it being more of a reverence thing for them to emulate hiphop and dance hall culture and black face in America is a whole different thing all together
“Ive been to Asia”
You do realize that there are 48 countries in asia and hundreds of nationalities, right? Its a MASSIVE continent.Not everybody looks chineese, Japanese etc. I know for a fact that in India (which is Asia btw) they have a class system that goes by whoever has the lightest color skin gets the best jobs etc. and that most Indians who live in India are racist against Africans.
Your comment is just as retarded as GayLord Jamars comment saying he knows how all Asians think just cus he was in Japan, LOL what a fucking simpleton. Smh some people truly are retards of the greatest magnitude.
Co-sign
Liol, Way to drop some knowledge on these lames
Co.sign,it’s crazy some ignorant ppl think africa and asia are countries
Great comment, wish LJ could read that shit
Racist asshole. If I ever see this punk bitch I’ll teach him a lesson to shut his fuckin mouth
You know, I KNOW white people. They don’t mean to be racist so they should all be forgiven. I am an expert, I’ve been to Europe once. We’ll, it was only Germany but having met one or two white people there I now know enough to make a sweeping generalization about their entire race.
Lol, nice comment.
SNOOPS REACTION IS THE BEST.
reasonable and nuanced answer from lj.
Are u gonna keep blaming ur shitty life on the “white devil” rofl. There are plenty of whites who’s historical backround have nothing to do with slavery and were slaves themselves ie the Irish. But keep making generalisations and being a racist pussy.
True dat, my mother is black from New Orleans and my father is a Irish immigrant from Galway so I share history of being slaves on both sides.
Great to see another pasty white boy getting that African poom poom
Haha if u said that shit to my father he would murder your pussy ass.
Btw nigga alot of people on the west of Ireland where he from are dark for white people cus they had different settlers there. Shows how much u know about shit outside the US, lol. U should be proud of where u come from pussy.
Koreans love famous black people but will never let a black or even white person date their children.
my bro married a korean girl and we white as hell
I’VE SEEN TONS OF KOREAN-WHITE COUPLES IN CALIFORNIA.
You’ll see a Lotta things in California. Telm me hat u were in Korea or japan
That isn’t true Asians love white people more than black mainly Koreans though. I live around them. They worship white people. I am black by the way.
The part about Asians worshiping black folk sounds a little sketchy, but I agree with the rest. Black face doesn’t have the same cultural significance in Asia as it does in America.
RACE WARRRRRRRR!!!!!
still at it Danielle Harling? surely there’s a gossip rag you should be writing for?
googled that 5%, it album sucked too
Dunno… I know sum white boys that are hardcore wu-tang fans tats every cd from any of the clan or their affilates (that’s a lot of cd’s lol) every show they be there that’s as close to worship as any Korean so whats the diff if they went out dressed as the clan on Halloween?
painting one’s face black as a costume is just not a big fucking deal, regardless of the history. people just want drama to fill their boring lives
They got weave for your girl, cheap J’s, bootleg music, and baptist churches but they will not spend money on black culture unless is wholesale so they make a profit back and will not move next door to your black ass.
You can’t take white money from a slew of places and then claim 5%
None of you dealing with “race” in these comments should be taken seriously. This documentary on social control breaks it all down: https://vimeo.com/69949597 Start at 16:00 if you’re lazy, and the real jewels begin at 20:00. Few of you could survive (or even have an interest in) an encounter like this; you just pretend to be in each others’ faces while sitting safely in front of your keyboards.
Just about everything in life follows the bell curve. 1% would follow up their shit talk, 1% would immediately shit their pants, and 98% fall somewhere in between. Our society and the young generations to follow are fucked if these trends of anonymous or physically removed internet racist bullshit continue. That’s why most websites make you use facebook nowadays, which still only solves part of the problem. I’m too lazy to watch your video and there’s no need, I already know what happens.
On a Friday night does Lord Jamar watch Friends, or Belly?
I mean I don’t think that was degrading either. It was sort of a joke. Pretty cool to me….sensitive people give me a break jeesh.
Lord Jamar’s tips to stay relevant while making no good music for 15 years:
1) Go on a white guy’s show
2) Say stupid, hypocritical shit that will piss people off
3) Repeat steps one and two
4) Repeat steps one and two
5) Repeat steps one and two
You see where this is going
