Eminem Takes A Swipe At Lord Jamar During Abu Dhabi Concert

    Eminem and Mr. Porter are currently on tour overseas. During a stop at Abu Dhabi’s du Arena, the notorious rap god took a swipe at Brand Nubian MC Lord Jamar, who has been one of Shady’s most outspoken critics.

    At some point during the show, he stopped the music to tell his fans about a recent dream he had — or nightmare, technically.

    “I had a dream that I was a fucking nobody who sucked at rap,” he said. “Do you know who I was Mr. Porter?”

    Mr. Porter asked, “Who?!” Em replied, “Lord Jamar!”

    From there, Em went into “Criminal” from the 2000 classic, The Marshall Mathers LP, which elicited a roar from the crowd.

    Jamar has consistently stated people from “the hood” don’t listen to Shady. It reached a boiling point in August when Royce Da 5’9 laid into Jamar for his criticisms on the Shady Records boss.

    Naturally, Jamar couldn’t help himself from replying and fired back, insisting he didn’t care about Em.

    “I’ve been done mad interviews and people ask me about Eminem,” he said. “I really don’t give a fuck about Eminem to be honest. He’s not someone I’m really thinking about. The only reason I bring him up is because you have white people that will say Eminem is the G.O.A.T. of Hip Hop based upon his record sales. That’s the only problem I have.”

    Not long after Jamar’s comments, Em shared a cryptic message on Twitter, leading many to believe he was locked and loaded with a Jamar diss, but it never materialized. New music from Shady is expected in the near future, so perhaps he will address his issues with Jamar there.

    1. Eminem is one of the greatest MC’s but not the greatest. I think we should all appreciate his & other MC’s skills nip hop is beautiful.

      1. Please retire ur corny ass thumbs.ems still the greatest an no rapper compares to him. An news flash all rappers collaborate with other artists it’s called motherfuking art did you hear that art is called art it’s not called fuck all white people Beyonce’s a fuckin pop star em put many many on the board y’all talk out ya ass. The music is called art all artists collaborate.collaboration with other artists is called art.so why don’t you retire your fuckin thumbs.

        1. Sell out. What happen to the art of hip hop? His albums are pop trash. Hip hop fans aren’t good enough for MM anymore. He wanted to be a pop star from the beginning. He just used us to get there. I thought he loved hip hop. I guess not. Please stop using black artists for co signs. MM will never have hip hop credibility again. Britney spears, taylor swift, adele will co sign. He is a pop star not a hip hop goat.

      1. Lord Jamar was bad mouthing Eminem on every occasion he had in the last 6 years. Explain to me how was he easily triggerd?

        1. Em let Jamar get to him = easily triggered. If Jamar is “a fucking nobody” to Em then he should’ve just ignored him.

        2. I am not a stain and but for the life of me why don’t anyone in the world just see that MMA the game relevant close M always takes a shouted himself when he is doing something wrong so Lord shamar is I think being bias hes just a little bit jealous the hard for me to say the white man took something there we hold dear

      1. You like to jerk tiny white dick when ni66as dicks in your womans mouth puss & butt ??lol and infect in your mouth correct????

    2. I’m black and thought It was dope and let’s be real, lord James name was never poppin till him and vlad bought eminem’s name up

    3. I really get sick of racist ass mfers talkin shit about one of the top 7 mcs EVER… If white people would just stop buying everyone artists CDs for a month over being rascist ooh how shit would change. Em deserves respect. All you nonerelevant motherfukers always got something negative to say but what the f*** are you doing are you working a nine-to-five I mean how special are you like what kind of money are you making whose life are you changing not many cuz you’re just on here running your f****** mouth about somebody else and what they doing stop being a big and listen to his f****** lyrics before you run your mouth you’re obviously not educated enough to understand his bars.shit goes over ur head. Go back to elementary School and then come back in five years after you get your f****** wack-ass GED learn some vocabulary and then have an honest opinion about what the f*** he is rapping about.

      1. Do you know the meaning of the word rascist? Has Jamar ever stopped Em from making music? Has he ever banned him from coming in any club? Has he ever made any ‘Hip Hop’rules aka laws to dise franchise Em? Jamar is entitled to his opinion just like anyone else. Do you study Hip Hop on an Emcee level? Cuz when Em came out his flow mirrored Ras Kaas & Royce. Now as far as a battle between them I know Em would serve Jamar but top 7 Emcee’s?…Your opinion which you’re entitled to

        1. *laws to disenfranchise…BTW a G.E.D is more powerful than a hs diploma(which is so much easier to acquire). If you’ve watched The Wu Tang series, you would be educated on a very important element of Hip Hop culture which was purposely removed that Jamar is active in re: your rant on his lack of vocab

      1. MM is just a guess in BLACK MUSIC. It is not american music. I cook italian food but i’m just a guess. I borrowed from Italians to make ITALIAN FOOD. Italian food is not american. MM just borrows from blacks. He even ACTS BLACK just like other white kids. (NOT ALL) No BLACK MUSIC no mm. PHONY UNKNOWN DOWN BELOW! STOP BITING MY SHIT.

      2. He already addressed that years ago and Lord Jamar himself said “yes. Blacks are guests in basketball” so you further prove his point lol.

    4. I dont get the issue here. Yeah em is white. But it’s not like he was born with a silver spoon. He went through some shit in his life. His club bangers are dope. And somehow he’s always come up with shit tho I can relate to. The biggest was space bound for me while I was going through a divorce. Then tragic endings as I struggled again and went to treatment for PTSD. His flow and lyrical genius are unmatched.
      Once she gets going she dont stop
      When I’m up shes like a downer
      When we met it was love at 1st encounter
      But somehow she must have taken the carton of eggs off the counter
      Cracked them and placed them on the ground so I can walk on them when I’m around her.
      Genius
      He got mad skilz.
      Dome shits off the wall, but that’s art man

    5. I think Em is hip hop. But I don’t think he’s the GOAT. He does get a little overhyped by his fans, and a lot of them who says he’s the GOAT don’t really listen to rap like that. Similar to the likes of Lil Wayne, Kanye, and Drake. All of them are overhyped and overrated as well.

    6. Lord Jamar is very intelligent and important to hip hop and to the black community in whole and he made very good points about em but however no one man can speak for all inner citys across America -i live in Detroit and alot of brothers and sisters dig em regardless of color he put Detroit on the map in big way and we appreciate that and em is a versatile rapper he’s rapped about multiple subjects not just comedy rapp – 1 example is loose your self from the 8 mile soundtrack theres nothing comical about that -and who didn’t love guess who’s back the video when it first came out – I loved the comical energy of that video

        1. Hahaha you are in the 1st grade right? At least elaborate on your thoughts 5 year old brain – Jamar is a racist? In Amerikkka please live some more research more -just from what you text your brain is garbage trash and oh yeah get the dick out of your ass

    7. I don’t see how anyone could actually argue for Lord Jamar being a better or more influential rapper than Eminem. Niggas be quick to bring up RACE, as in the color of a person’s skin. Oh, the irony. Black people ourselves were held back, and some of us continue to be “held back”, simply because there are some people who only choose to look at the surface and superficial level of life and see color, namely and more specifically the color of a person’s skin. I don’t hear of too many of you niggas talking bad or down upon The Beastie Boys or Rick Rubin- two seminal names and institutions of Hip Hop who were all white. Y’all act as if Def Jam wasn’t started by TWO people- Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin aka a white boy. Back to this Em madness tho- Eminem is simply a far better rapper than Little Jamar, period. Eminem could be rainbow-colored for all I care. When you’re an ill lyricist and spitter on the mic (Pause), all I can see or hear is a dope rapper; no matter what color that nigga is. Some of y’all niggas think race is EVERYTHING. Nobody is gonna argue how Dennis Rodman was a better basketball player than Larry Bird just because Larry was White. Eminem would crush that dude on the mic. Name me ONE ill and dope Lord Jamar song or freestyle that was recently released. Dude gone only address this Em shit on a Vlad YouTube video. Lol. FOH man. Thought Lord Jamar was a rapper. If you rap, drop a hard 16 . Give us an ill freestyle dissing the white boy, man.

    8. Lord Jamar is right though. No one ever bumped no Eminem in the hood. Dude could rap though I’ll give him that

      1. What the fuck are you talking about?!? True Hip Hip heads do bump Em in the hood! I can not relate to his subject matter, but I can relate to his creativity. Em is a great wordsmith to me. I bet you are that type of cat that be bumping Jeezy. I bet you can relate to that garbage.

    9. Lord Jamar can never be a nobody in the world of hip hop because he’s a brand Nubian – brand Nubians are classic rappers like xclan or leaders from the new school and so on -not a nobody he’s just from a different rap era -diana Ross isac Hayes temptations are not nobodies in the soul singer world just different eras -my favorite brand Nubian song is wake up with the Roy Ayers in the sunshine sample -i usta bump that on 10 I recommend you do you so if you haven’t it’ll give you good feeling s in your soul it’ll give you Happy fellings haha

    10. Well… I guess truth hurts. Otherwise Eminem wouldn’t even have respond to “a fucking nobody who sucked at rap”…

      1. He probably replied bc Lord Jamar is always ranting about him. Wasnt done only once an then he acknowledged it. Gayboy has done it a few times!!

    11. Lord who ? Shit out of all 90s Rap groups brand Nubian is like 30th lol ain’t NO ONE BUMP BRAND NUBIAN IN THE HOOD sooooooo

    12. I bang with Em. He’s in my top 5 and probably my favorite to listen to. That being said, you can’t call Jamar a nobody who sucked at rap when he’s part of Brand Nubian. Call him irrelevant. Call him obsessed. Call him a bitter hater. All of this could be accurate but he’s far from a “nobody”

      1. Brand Nubian was hot for a minute. Lord Jamar was never a stand out in any capacity. His Claim to fame was in fact only being part of Brand Nubian. That’s about it. The only reason he is even on anyone’s radar is that he purposely pissing people off for attention and money. Even when part of Brand Nubian, he was the equivalent of background vocals. He has more fame now as a hatemonger than he ever did as a “rapper”

        1. You’re absolutely right. He’s known more now for being a righteous troll. However, regardless of his “little” contributions to the group, they are contributions just the same. Therefore, you can’t call him a nobody. You can call him an afterthought in regards to Puba and Sadat, but I just don’t like the “he’s a nobody” statement. Em knows better as a head. But I guess all is fair when you’re jabbing someone who’s known more for keeping your name in his mouth than the aforementioned contributions. But still, I agree with your point.

      2. Man, Em music is trash. If he is your favorite rapper or in your top 5, I am glad you are not my friend. Cornball!

        1. You took time out of your day to call me corny for liking an artist that Jay-Z, Rakim, Nas, Redman and Kool G Rap consider one of the best ever to do it. You, my friend, are the cornball. Here’s hoping you have ANY friends at all

    13. Once again eminem relies on fake beef to stay relevant. Why can you sheep see through this crap already? In starting to think that you’re just blind.

    14. Eminem can rap, but his music has been garbage for YEARS. He’s like 50 still carrying around traumas and carrying on like a teenager. Rather raps about trash and put out negative energy. Jamar isnt a relevant rapper, but he doesn’t emit negativity like Eminem. Seriously Em, fall back. Go enjoy life and make a banger when you don’t sound mad once In your life…

      1. Open your ears my man. Get out the closet, if you don’t know what you are speaking about, you should not speak. JAMAR has Em in his mouth for years just to get clout. Even tho must us hate revival, Em wasn’t messing with anyone. Then dudes think they can come at him. Oh boy…. Matter fact before that. MLP and Recovery he was just making dope music… No beefing or anything. Learn your topics before you speak

    15. let’s kerp it real. Lyrically he had some moments but in order to be the GOAT you have to have more then what he has right now. If people are saying he does have all the elements there is one thing that is clear he is not a trend setter in fashion that’s real. Look at all the greats they had fashion sense from back in the day. I ask everybody what trends has he set. At that rate nobady even tried to mimic that flow white or black or minic his fashion sense because he doesn’t have any. That’s just one reason why he not the GOAt and talking about lord Jamal on stage he didn’t even sound confident. Side note music production beats are weak that’s not GOAT status

      1. Has anybody ask EM who made him start rapping or who influenced him to grab the mic. Lord Jamal saying somebody moved you to want to do this who was that ? When EM wasn’t even out rolling stone put him on there front cover. That’s because of privilege of color and nobody heard of him. Black people go to concerts also. They not really at his concerts for what ever reason. ? I seen a blk rapper rock all white crowds but I never seen or heard of him rocking all blk crowds in the USA. If it’s about color

          1. 1.production beats super weak and he can’t produce lol so stop. No fashion trends set and never rocked an all blk crowd but guess what blks rappers have. It’s universal appeal. Shit u need glasses and a new brain. Looking for a rap hero lol no other white rappers can ever shine because they put up these false hood about him being the GOAT

    16. This site is about gossip, not music. It’s the equivalent of teenage girls who follows teen magazine, but for people who want hiphop music… Sad!

    17. Black hip hop fans are stupid for embracing Feminem. These are the same idiots who hate certain white men in power just because they’re “the man”, yet swing on Fems balls calling him the goat. Lol how did you let a white man come and dominate hip hop? How? Lol don’t ever bitch about whitey again if you’re that hypocritical and blind. You straight let this fool walk in and take the crown. You are all just racist when it comes to white cops, white authorities and white presidents but when a white “rapper” comes in acting like he’s one of you, you all let him walk all over you. Lol

      1. No one let Em do shit. He took over the rap game because of his music. The proof is in the pudding. Forget all that color B.S. Get your weight up, not your hate up. Thats your unpopular opinion. But facts are not disputable

        1. nah master p was given too much game & corp amerikkka couldnt have that so the dre cosign beefing with boy bands & pop stars then the machine birthed the mumble dr suess rap that dominates now

        2. What are you talking about Willis? Took over the rap game? Are you kidding us right now? Seriously? What rock were you under? Child please…Eminem music is trash!

      2. biz decision they cant talk bad about em the stans would black ball em & his fan base is real even if hes not cant just alienate their entire income source, so they say the right things enm isnt in most peoples top 50

      3. You couldn’t be a black man in America right? And if you are gooooooodddd dammmmmm and even if your white man goooooddd dammmmmm, are you in the 4th grade? Racist against your oppresser? That is like saying someone is wrong for complaining about dogs that have bitten them, don’t let any intelligent person hear you utter those words don’t embarrass yourself, you got alot of reading to do and research, maybe you chose your words wrongs? Racist? If so pick up a dictionary and learn to express yourself, it’s not being racist when you have been harasst all across America by police for being black and you coplain and that’s why I say you couldn’t be black and if you are black and it hasn’t happened to you lol just wait your turn is coming, em worked hard for his success and props and the black hip hop community are not racist or prejudice we props were it’s due, so like the late great dolamite would say lol b***** are you forreeeeaaallll I recommend you watch the documentary the 13th but from that garbage you wrote you need alot of education godddddd dammmmmmm

    18. Can someone tell eminem th as t this fake beef bs is really starting to get old at this point? He hasn’t had anything interesting to say in a long, long time but sticks around bc his life is completely empty. Time to find a new hobby.

        1. Apparently my comment went way over your head, it shows you couldnt even get a 400 on your SAT’s. I feel sorry for you and your meaningless life.

    19. Hell Yeahs he’s in my top 5 and everyone I know has him in at least their top 10! Ems bein bumped in my hood!! Fuck Lord Gaymar

      1. Man, Em is only in your top 5. We do not F with no Eminem bruh. Top 5 are you kidding us right now? Seriously Em is trash!

        1. Slick… I don’t know who you mean by WE but I hope you not be referring to Black people. Because in that case he is for sure in my top 5. Sad that a dude as talented and skilled as Em always get the race treatment. Majority of 90s rappers(golden era) facks with Em.

          These dummies say shit like. I can’t listen to dude that want to kill his mom….. Like you never wanted to kill your runaway dad. Or they say, but he wants to murder his ex wife…. But dudes would do much worse to there baby mother. Get real.

          The dude ultra talented. Since he is a God when it comes to lyricism, more people trying to find other critiques to try to undersell his greatness. Stop it.

          1. No one is saying Eminem not talented but we are saying no one listens to him in the streets, cars or houses. Be real… I am a true hip hopper and listens to all sorts of rap music. Eminem is not one of them. All my music never even mention Eminem’s name. I tried but it makes my ears bleed. Now stop that crying bruh!

    20. Man, Em music is hot garbage! No body listen to Eminem but white boys! We do F with Eminem in our streets or hood. People get with this discussion! I never heard in my lifetime hip hoppers young or old playing Eminem in their cars, streets or houses! Real talk! Dude music is trash!

    21. Repeat…Man, Em music is hot garbage! Nobody listens to no Eminem but white boys! We “do not” F with Eminem in our streets or hood. People get it together on this discussion! I never heard in my lifetime, hip hoppers, young or old playing Eminem in their cars, streets or houses! Real talk! Dude music is trash!

    22. All you white fools that are coming to this site to show your love And support for Eminem, we do not F with no Eminem over here! You get it! We do not F with no Eminem over here! Period. End of discussion….Now go back to your trailer parks and jump around listening to trash, #Eminem, Your GOAT….

    23. All you fools that are coming to this site to show your love And support for Eminem, we do not F with no Eminem over here! You get it! We do not F with no Eminem over here! Period. End of discussion….Now go back to your trailer parks and jump around listening to trash, #Eminem, Your GOAT….

    24. I was at this event. It’s kinda sad because the audience really didn’t react that much to the joke. Mainly because I pretty sure 80% of them have never even heard of Lord Jamar. My friend is a die hard Eminem Fan and he’s never heard of Jamar. I laughed my ass off when he said that shit. Oh also anyone who don’t f with Em it’s cool, but all the haters talking shit, y’all can shut up for real. The number of rappers who have the longevity that can match Eminem’s can be counted on 1 hand.

    25. ‘ i dreamed i was a nobody and i sucked at rap’ LMFAO that was the corniest suburban white boy shit that ive heard from ANY rapper white or black. this is who yall caucasians call the GOAT? Lord Jamal is in his and Royces head so deep its comical.

    26. Alot of hate on Eminem. This motherfucker was on top of the world in the early 00s. If people think this man cant spit, they aint heard shit. Just hating on a great. He has imfluemced hip hop in a major way. He will go down as one of the greats in hip hop history. Mfers in here are just bitter just like Jamar irrelevant are.
