Elton John Defends Hip Hop

    Some Hip Hop fans may only know Elton John as the gay guy who Eminem played with at the Grammys amidst the controversy of The Marshall Mathers LP. But the British musician is nothing short of a legend and one of the most respected artists alive. He is also a fan of Hip Hop, as evidenced by his work with Eminem, Kanye West and 2Pac.

    “I never dismiss any form of music. I listen to everything,” Sir Elton told TeenMusic.com. “I’m on the new Kanye West record, for example. It’s a genius record. I was on the Alice and Chains record.” Elton played the piano on the star-studded “All of the Lights.” The collaboration was a long time coming for Elton, who said in 2006 he would like to work with the likes of Kanye, Pharrell, Snoop, Timbaland and Eminem.

    “People who mock rap, and say, ‘I don’t like it,’ they should go check out Kanye in the studio rapping. Or Eminem when he’s in the studio. It’s a phenomenon,” he continued. “Don’t knock it until you’ve seen it. It may not be your cup of tea, but don’t ridicule . I find that so many of my peers of my age don’t listen to anything new. I love the new.”

    In 2009 Eminem revealed that Elton played a pivotal role in his sobriety. Eminem retuned the favor when Elton entered into a civil partnership with David Furnish, sending the pianist two diamond-encrusted cock rings

      WTF, more proof that Eminem is a flaming homo. That shit is creepy, perverted, gayness.

      1. Even if he did do it, it wouldnt be looked on as a negative to himself as a man…you fucking coward! talking about something you dont know anything about GO FUCK YOUR BIBLE

      2. YEAH EM IS A HOMO EVEN THOUGH HE HAS A KID AND WAS NAILING MARIAH CAREY FOR YEARS SMH I GIVE UP WITH YOU UNEDUCATED NIGGAS

      3. Hey penguin, why did you bring up the bible, FUCK YOU!! Humans exist to breed, like any other mammal, going against that is going against nature. Also, there is ZERO scientific proof that ppl are born gay so shove it up your ass, BITCH!

      4. We shall all see who was right in the end, cuz this life is short and nothing matters. Money doesn’t matter and your feelings don’t matter or any of that shit. Death is forever and we’ll see who gets the last laugh. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

      5. It may be an abomination, but when you’ve got dick sucking lips like Charles ExSavior, you’ve just gotta go for it!

    2. Kanye rapping don’t mean shit since all he does is complain and want to be accepted as a douchebag, but I do like how he’s giving Hip Hop a good look and him and Em are getting along nicely. Fuck Harp stores for censoring his US Weekly issue, that shit was rotten.

    3. HA HA HA eminem your continued and utter lack of knowledge on gay culture is hilarious, i know your trying but come on! gay earrings hahahhahaha cant help but to laugh though im sure you compadre SIR Elton John appreciated it though
      P.S FUCK ALL THE HOMOPHOBIC COMMENTS COMING FUCK YOU

    4. OH AND ANYBODY IN HIPHOP WHO COMES WITH HOMOPHOBIC SHIT!! YOUR OUT OF THE LIST OF PEOPLE WHO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!! ANYBODY WHO KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT HIPHOP WOULD SHOW SOME DESENCY AND UNDERSTANDING!!

    5. LOL I knew Eminem was gay. He made cock rings for Elton John. Kanye was already a fag and so was Tupac. Did you know 2pac spread his legs in one of his photoshoot? Gucci Mane and Justin Bieber are real hip hop. Straight 100 percent!

      It’s Gucci Time!

      1. i’ve always liked superguccirap’s comments, but this one wasnt funny–it was more like just ignorant

        lol fuck out of here gucci-faggot

    6. big up elton john! thats a real motherfucker right there. never was the biggest ye’ fan, but its really cool that hes not some closed minded asshole. hes right you gotta keep your ears open. never was the biggest ye’ fan tho, seems fitting that thats who elton likes, him being gay and everything.

      1. YOU OBVIOUSLY DO CARE OR YOU WOULDNT COMMENT YOU DUMBASS… GET BACK TO SCHOOL NIGGA BEFORE YOU END UP IN BURGER KING

    7. That’s good of him. Actually need more artists outside of hip-hop – especially someone as big as Elton John – to cosign it. Coz hip-hop done got a dirty name with a lot of the Gucci-Waka-Soulja-Flo-Drizzy’s that are comin’ in and raping the mu’fuka.

      And about the gay-thing. Who gives a fuck!? I don’t care about what another man is doing in bed, even if it’s a woman. Smh.

    8. I would be a more impressed if he said he listened to Public Enemy & Gangstarr instead of all that commercial garbage he listed. An old English man listening to the new 50cent & shit like that just comes off as pathetic.

      1. Pathetic?? Its 2011 homie, Respect to Gangstar and PE but they not putting out new material…and I grew up on em. And nobody was fucking with rap when they was out. Get wit it homie he said he loves the new. Be glad hes putting it out there to make hip hop bigger

    9. Smh…TooDamnFunny.

      BIG JERK! That’s exactly what I feel like, cuz I didn’t join sooner. My friend pulled in $180,000 and
      now I’m just starting out with only $18K in my pocket. See for yourself?

      1. And you look stupid in the picture, I know you’re trying to look tough talking while having this pic and all but it makes you stupid, sorry. ^_^

    10. older people listening to new music is very respectable. I know that he didnt mean it in the sense of “oh, I am trying to be down with the kids and what they are doing.” He seemed to mean it as, “why listen to the same songs from your heyday for the next 40 years if you truly enjoy music?”
