Lord Jamar is one of several rappers Eminem dissed on his tenth studio album, Kamikaze, which was released last August.
During a recent interview with RapMatic, the Brand Nubian MC (once again) fires back at Slim Shady and blatantly dismisses the multi-platinum selling rapper.
“My thing about Eminem and all that — and I hate bringing his fucking name up — my thing about this muthfucka is you can’t crown somebody king and circumvent the true kingdom,” he says. “Like white people will crown Eminem king because he sold the most records out of all rappers.
“But, when we go into every day life of black people, people who are the originators of this shit, we don’t fucking listen to Eminem. We don’t listen to Eminem. We don’t go to the gym and turn on Eminem. We don’t listen to him on the way to the club. We don’t play him in the club … now, corny places I can’t speak for that.”
Jamar didn’t end his rant there. When the ever-so patient host tries to point out how skilled Em is as a lyricist, she gets shut down immediately.
“So the fuck what,” he snaps back. “Can he put words together? Yes. But that’s not all that Hip Hop is. Who gives a fuck if the content is shit? Who gives a fuck how good he can put cat rat bat hat together? If you’re talking about smacking your mother and taking pharmaceutical pills and the shit that doesn’t resonate with me, why do I care how good you can rap?”
He adds, “His content is wack, his delivery and his voice.”
Finally, he ends his tirade by talking about the aforementioned Kamikaze track, “Fall.”
“He did a verse about me,” he says. “You know how bad I wanted that song to be something good? It was wack. It wasn’t shit … nobody, only white people and people on the internet [talked about it].”

Bum ass lord jamar…
The sad thing about Jamar is, most people will remember him as “Vlad’s puppet” instead of “Brand Nubian”…. lol
Word
You sound bitter, Jamar. Someone get this man a Snickers.
Lmao
Sounds like jealousy!! Haha ? you wish you was em!! Bitch
If you give that man a cheeseburger he’ll felate you
Pretty racist comments really
Do you imbiciles actually understand what the word RACISM means??? Its SYSTEMATIC OPPRESSION!!! How is Lord Jamar systematically oppressind anything? GTFOH!!!
The definition of racism for ya dumbass:
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior.
Jamar is a one trick pony and a has-been. Cornball. Who respects this dudes opinion?…about ANYTHING?
He’s telling the truth though
What truth?
That Eminem is CORNY AF … Did you even watch the video??
How can one person who is African American speak for everyone else who is the same as him? “People on the internet” are probably the majority of the population that he says only listened to Fall or spoke about it.
No, 8 mile was some stupid shit battle rap movie for kids and white wierdos, not a real battle rap movie and the soundtrack ain’t some backpack shit. Your comment is stupid.
What makes it not a real battle rap movie?
Your username is stupid
Stupid you are stupid… you get Dumb, dumber and then its you
White weirdos like Prodigy and Diddy and funk flex and many others who said they liked it. You’re a tool
By the way he talk nad what he is saying, by the way he behave and react – he is disgusting and hateful person
I’m black and I definitely listen to Eminem in the gym
Lord Jamar doesn’t even know what he’s getting himself into.
This bum ass mf is only relevant because of clout chasing and gossip
Wack Jamar more like it. Had his 15 minutes and mad he didn’t get anymore. Now go do some more vlad interviews. Loser!
Butthurt white people will come to his defense he has always been a good rapper not great.
Shut your gossip girl ass mouth, hoe jamar
Only time Jamar gets mentioned is if he’s talking about Eminem. That says all you have to know about this douche.
He sounds bitter for some reason. I wasn’t a Eminem fan in the early days but I now rate him very highly. I don’t have to play him at the gym to know a great rapper. Now if Eminem is wack what does that make jamar ?
real talk most rappers would say the same but the stans would blackball & ef they money & sakes up, em in no ones top 50 that matters, definitely not a goat but far from trash its obvious people bump him but i haven’t heard him out a trunk since stan
roots? dude came out in like 99 & there eere decades of roots before he popped up on the scence because master P was giving the blueprint & they needed corporate control of hip hop so get the dre blessing & start”rap” beefs with boy bands & pop stars & its been dr suess ever since
If Eminem is a culture vulture then what is vlad
Officer culture vulture
Jamar should make a diss song about eminem, then we’ll see whose better… but he won’t, he knows he’ll get destroyed
This guy…. listen I dont listen to Eminem regularly cause, as Jamar said, I simply dont relate to his content. But I have heard every one of his songs at least once out of respect and admiration for his skill set. Not being a fan is one thing but you lose credibility dismissing his talent and place in rap. You can say “i dont F with dude” without acting like he aint cement his spot in rap music. Greats acknowledge greats which tells you all you need to know about Lord Jamar
He makes no points whatsoever. Because you cant workout, play it in the club, or blast it in your car its wack and not hip hop??? So Nas, Black Thought, and Talib Kweli aren’t Hip Hop? Cause I’m definitely not hearing at the club..
For real, weren’t nobody blastin Brand Nubian in the club or workin out to that shit. His own argument don’t make sense lol
Actually Brand Nubian does get played at the club, they played them this past weekend smh c’mon ystop hating cuz
Typical jamar. Claims hes rl hiphop but wont respond 2 an artists diss on wax ..hes scared em will body him. Jamar always been trash noone would know u if not for his famous group members lmaooo still jealous of eminem
Lord who?
I mean, he’s not exactly wrong that the vast majority of Em’s music over the past 10 years has been pretty bad, at least a huge step down from MMLP and TES. At the same time, he needs to admit that the only reason he claims the content doesn’t resonate is because he doesn’t like the white boy.
Whys it always gotta be about race. Wether you like him or not don’t matter if he’s black or white, he literally appeals to a market
If Eminem response you win, and if he doesn’t respond, then you still win? LMAO!! That’s the mentality of a nobody rapper doing shit for attention.
what is funny, is that RA the rugged mans content isnt relatable to black people either…and jamar respects rugged man and praised him in the past….ever heard a rugged man track? same shit as eminem and dude gets respect probably cuz he didnt blow up as em did…sounds like jealousy to me…
RA the rugged man actually makes good music though. Stop hating there are some dope MCs that JUST SO HAPPENS TO BE WHITE.
And they really do almost have identical content. If RA sold as much as Em, Jamar would be butt hurt about him too.
They really do have almost identical content. If RA sold as much as Em, Jamar would be butt hurt about him too.
Their content is almost identical. If RA sold as much as Em, Jamar would be butt hurt about him too.
As a white dude and a em fan(first 2 albums only) I’d kinda agree.
I don’t know lots of black or brown skin people hoppin in the whip throwin on the newest Eminem. He sold a lot but kinda makes shitty music if we are bein real.
He’s literally DRIPPIN with hater juice!lol Funny thing is, Em never himself said he was king of rap so why hate the man directly? He’s burning inside… but for what?! Jamar (I ain’t callin him Lord nothin) gonna have a hater stroke one of these days smh
hes racist fuck jamar
Meanwhile this dude only gets in the news saying controversial shit. Not making any music anybody wants to listen to at the club, on the way to the club, washing your ass in the shower… nothing. Kamikaze number one in like 136 countries but to him its wack. This dude is a hip hop gatekeeper of the worst kind. All he provides to the culture at this point is saying dumb shit in interviews. Show us how to make a good song in 2019 then you can comment on other artist. Until then, put your fedora back on and crawl back to your basement old ass troll.
He’s preserving the culture… something y’all culture vulture half -ass fans fail to do so… Y’all love rippity rap so much but only view black people as “entertainment”.. kick rocks with that lame shit cuz
This interview is old. Why is it news now? Shout out to the greatest rap group ever Brand Nubian.
ever heard xlcan, Paris, Brotha Lynch Hung in the club or do you work out to them? Brotha Lynch Hungs content relatable to black people…how he eats brain and kills and slaughters people?
I think the fact that a white person outsold every rapper in history is pinching a nerve in Jamar, also the fact that out of his group hes the only person who doesnt do raps anymore cuz hes not talented enough? Grand Puba is always remembered for his wiched flow and delivery…sadat x is constantly droppin music….jamar is only known as a permanent guest on vladtv…lol what a downfall jamar….go make a record instead of talkin shit…why is it that we never hear any other rapper from your era talk that much shit about that white boy? hes literally the only rapper from that era to downtalk eminem…..think about that!
Jamar makes beats and artist development… Dead prez? He got Kanye his first placement? C’mon you hating.
ok, then why dont you name your top 5 Jamar produced songs and top 5 Jamar solo songs!
so did vanilla’s ice & mc hammer guess they goats too?
I listened to you when you were with Brand Nubian and liked the music but you really stop hating on that man..his music isn’t for everyone just like some of our fellow black artists but imo you are taking this to where it doesn’t need to go
Wow lol first lord jamar fan I’ve ever seen, nobody could quote a song he was on lol
Slow down? The foundation? Punks jump up to get beat down??
I don’t even disagree. But Psychology 101 would teach you this is jealousy. Brand Nubian is way too unknown and Em is probably a little overrated. That would eat away at most of us over time.
What rap fan from the 90’s never heard of Brand Nubian?
If you don’t know who Brand Nubian … Do not claim to be a hip hop head. Have a seat.
Love Lord Jamars interviews. But to dismiss the fact that Em is one of the greats cause he’s white is not cool. Hell one of the greatest songs that BLACK people groove to (what you won’t do for love) was made by a white man. So is the song now wack? Fact is Ems albums may not top the charts, but let’s not dismiss the man can rap and destroy damn near everybody on the mic. But then again in Jamars defense, if nobody was checking for me, I’d be a hater too. Lol
Not true. He didn’t diss Eminem on his skin color. He made good points saying rhyming stupid shit together in. Sentence doesn’t make a great MC. Em’s Content is stupid and so is his idiotic persona and voice. Em’s Delivery may seem on point with a lot of people, but his whole being is whack and he often goes after women, which makes Em a pussy.
He never mentioned his skin color STOP IT. He mentioned his wack content and gimmicky bs.
Smh. Check his Vlad interviews smart guy
He actually mentioned it in one of his interviews, but I digress. So you saying that he goes out and just rhymes stupid shit together with no content. So songs like “Not Afraid” “When I’m gone” and ”Renagade” are throwing sentences together? Migos, Yachty, 21 Savage, Nicki etc. rhyme words with no content. Fact is if Em wasn’t white, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
This is like when that manager in the UFC starts talking shit about other fighters being trash but meanwhile doesn’t even fight, just go sit your bum ass down somewhere and be quiet
I take great offense to that
First of all, eminem is a solo artist..yall mention Brand Nubian all the time AS if jamar is the only member. Name 5 solo Songs by jamar that contributed to rap history. Or one Lord Jamar solo Album!!! And if we are talking group shit then include d12 too…or is their shit also not relatable to black peoples lives?
Eminem living in this bum’s head rent free.
Fuck Lord Jamar. Racist ass. This is obviously the hateful rants of a racist. He jealous no one cares about him anymore. Or ever really did. Brand Nubians sucked fat gay aids infested dick.
Finally someone had the Balls to say this for me. Lord Jamar is that real dude. What he stated is what I have been saying this years. I F with Lord Jamar. No one in our black community listen to no damn Eminem. Dude raps are trash!!!! Lord Jamar is a real nukka and not like the other PUNK ass rappers won’t say the same. Eminem shit is Cat and Hat!
Super factz ??? his beats sound like a circus sideshow he rhymes like he has something to prove like chill dog you know there are plenty of white MCs that get respect for just being themselves! He tries too hard. The white kids not gonna like it but it’s true
Super factz ??? his beats sound like a circus sideshow he rhymes like he has something to prove like chill dog you know there are plenty of white MCs that get respect for just being themselves! He tries too hard. The white kids not gonna like it but it’s true
Naaaa Jack, you wyldin. Em will Always be an all time great, he earned that. Cool it tryna rewrite history
aite heres the thing about em his first two albums were dope first one a classic maybe even the second one too after that everything else was mediocre or trash… he started to rap about meaningless shit yea he rhymed a bunch of words but the songs were trash nobody EVER listens to his shit unless there white period… his voice became like nails to a chalkboard but the thing is his impact he had when he first came out and how great he was starting out was big and i give him respect for that and he is lyrically talented and i dont knock anyone putting him in there top 10 but most likely the only people who will is his friends or white people or someone with an agenda.. if u tell me that eminem continued to make good music past his first 2 albums you either white or your lying i would still like to hear him rap on other peoples songs without him coming up with the topic or the beat cause i think he will shine better cause by himself he has been trash i say that cause i still got love for em cause i know he’s a true mc and student to hip hop and he can still spit he just cant make dope songs anymore or hasn’t. and his engineer needs to delete his verse everytime he raps with that annoying nerd sounding cadence he does… he needs to go back to his old flow it sounded more pure and he wasnt trying too hard back then..
Eminem Show is his best album and it’s his 3rd album. I think he was elite until Eminem show. Encore and Relapse are OK and Recovery and after he is trash.
Recovery is trash (just to clarify)
solider was a good song though…. and cleaning out my closet but g-unit’s version of solider was better lol
eminem show definitely wasnt his best album wasnt better than mashall mathers ep or the one after but thats ur opinion.. eminem show was goofy af and was made for nerds and weirdos eminem was always a character but his first 2 albums had balance eminem show was when he fully crossed over to a clown
solider was a good song though…. and cleaning out my closet but g-unit’s version of solider was better lol
Sorry Stan Killer all Eminem shit is trash. I am absolutely tired of smelling his garbage all these years. Be gone! Eminem is wack as F! Lord Jamar called this right on the head!!!
Who is this guy lol. Sounds like a broke racist who never made it. Too funny.
All the BLACK great rappers recognize Eminem’s as top 10. Gtfoh
I see all white people getting mad. The true hurt. Em is shit hole.
I love how they pointed out that it wasnt on a Vlad interview. All jokes aside thats his opinion I guess. I would like to see some diss tracks between the 2 of them. Not many good disses in rap these days.
Lord Jamar needs to chill with the hate. He was the least favorite Brand Nubian member and his solo 5% album was pretty trash
Not hate but it is the truth and other black rappers are just scared to say it! Eminem music is trash but not Eminem the person. Personally I like him just his music is trash.
Your truth not mine. Music is subjective, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Em is far from trash. Does he have a few weak albums? Sure! Which GOAT doesn’t? but he also has classic, great, and good albums. Em seems to be living rent free in lord jamar’s head. Lot of black rappers respect Em. I’m black btw and I know a lot of black folks that bump his shit so Jamar’s claim that black people don’t fuck with Em is false
He has a right to say it…
Wack doesn’t get you to be a multi platinum to damn near diamond status. Em is for the black and white culture which equals millions of songs sold.
Dude no one F with Eminem but White people. Lord Jamar is so correct on every syllable!!!! Eminem is wack as F! Period… his shit sounds Like Cat and The Hat Rhymes! Totally trash…
Must be lord jamar here personally hating lol
Lord Jamie acts like internet people and white people aren’t the majority of who gets artists PAID. No one is listening to your shit or Brand Nubian. Jackass. Eminem gets way more play then BN or this moron’s hot garbage solo album.
Fucc you you bum ass racist frustrated 1/4 rapper. Without Sadat you would be nobody.
To me there’s a difference between “lyrical rap” and “fake lyrical rap” (the type of rap white dudes love). True lyrical artists are people like Nas, Jay Electronica, Mos Def, Black Thought, Common, Ghostface, Lauryn Hill, AZ, while fake lyrical rap is Eminem, Tech N9ne, Logic, Joyner Lucas, Canibus, Royce Da 5’9, Ras Kass, R.A. The Rugged Man. Fake lyrical rappers hide their lack of actual lyricism by focusing on things like syllables, rapping fast, and pseudo intellectual showboating. True lyricists don’t try to sound smart or cram as many syllables into a bar as they can, they’re naturally intelligent and make songs with poetry and depth.
Agree…no doubt!
Bizzy Bone would bury the lot of them
I kind of agree with this statement but Eminem and Royce do not belong in that category of fake lyrical. Logic is the antithesis of what you’re talking about and he can only get his music off because the younger audience that buys his records aren’t educated enough in good music to know that he is hollow. Eminem puts out a lot of technical rap but he used to have a shit ton of depth and aggression in his music. Yeah, he rapped about pills and shock value stuff but he’d always rap about his own experiences in an entertaining way. Jamar is a hater but he’s funny so I like it. Eminem’s new music is trash and he’s lost his way as a music creator. He’s more interesting in rapping well than making a good song and that’s the problem. And for him to think Logic is dope, I know his ear is off.
oh shit…you must be stupid!!! Ok folks, what you mean by ‘fake lyrical’ is technical rap, they use technical rhymes schemes…which your true lyricists dont make use of…oh and how come you left out the inventors of technical multi syllable rhymes?? Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, Rakim, Krs One? Let me guess, they just didnt fit your narrative you idiot…
and how the fuck do you even mention AZ and Jay Electronica along with the greats….that shit shows me you have no knowledge of rap….and god please Black Thought?? Have you ever even heard Black Thought rap? Hes like the definition of technical (in your idiot words ‘fake lyrical’) rap. Go and check out his epic freestyle with Method Man!!! Dont talk what you dont know bitch!
Good point. I can’t stand those rappers white boys listen to. All style, no substance. A lot of white fans are pretentious, so they like pretentious rappers. Those lyricists you named actually have style and substance.
u can call em’s music wack or whatever bt dismissing em as a wack rapper, dats being hateful. y is this even a debate, all rappers more talented than jama respect n salute slim shady. This is jst jealousy speaking period. Eminem is a legend n a G.O.A.T. n this is hiphop stop bitching n put it in a song…then we see who better?
He’s about to be eaten up
How? A Cat and the Hat diss… Dr. Seuss shit! Em music is trash!
He sounds racist , and he’s just mad that Eminem is goat . He didn’t sell millions upon millions because he was wack . He’s better than your broke ass
Eminem will never be THE GOAT. No one buy or listen to Eminem only White People. Sorry… No one in my gym listen to no Eminem! Lord Jamar is correct! I stand by him one hundred percent! Eminem shit is wack! Wack in the beginning and the end of his career! Shit is borrowing trash!!!
It’s always been the case. It’s whites who have Madonna and Coldplay CDs who think “the best” music reaches number 1 on the pop charts. They equate artistic value with mainstream success and commercial success. Basically the opposite values of hip hop culture. Rap is not pop if you it that then please stop.
Lord jamar has neither but the actually skilled and successful rappers praise eminem, the ones who would know best about rapping good actually agree that eminem raps good, i respect someone like Redman or rakim’s opinion of who is a wack undeserving rapper over the pure hater wack never-was rapper lord jamar
Yeah, its only whites who think sales = skill. Thats why all these white indie and pop artists constantly mention their record sales and wealth on their tracks. Oh no, wait, that’s BLACK RAPPERS. I wouldnt care yet you are ACCUSING WHITE PEOPLE OF DOING WHAT BLACK RAPPERS DO. Prove me wrong.
its funny.. the world will never move forward because of race.. Eminem’s music is his music and relates to a lot of people. just because it doesn’t relate to black people doesn’t mean he is not talented and a LEGEND.. many people relate to it, just because it doesn’t relate to a black mans life don’t shoot the guy down… You don’t hear white people moaning because black rappers keep rapping about guns,drugs, robbing and killing and so on…. Jamar you just fucking sour and so is your PUSSY… people just don’t like Eminem because he is white dominating in a so called Black mans genre of music… I’m sick and tired of this race shit being played.. Reverse physiology is your only weapon.. Always play the victim so people feel sorry for you.. Nobody disses Tiger Woods because he is a black man playing a so called white mans sport and dominating it… And Eminem grew up in an Era where Rap battles were a big thing and lyricism was a big thing too.. just because you only have two brain cells in your head dont shoot him down, Because even that WOOF will go over your head..
Biggest fkn racist in the world. It’s okay though, cause he is black.
White boys are hurt but Eminem is wack white or not, he’s trash.
Funny. But the facts are that Eminem is a Brand Nubian fan but Brand Nubians ain’t Eminem fans. He’s also correct about Em fans being white and for many that’s the only rapper they know/like. Not even Em thinks he’s the best he knows better it’s just his Stan’s want to believe he’s raps Elvis. Same garbage idea, that whites do black culture better.
Lord Jamar is a real dude! I agree with this brother 100 percent. If we can only find the stat of how many white people bought Eminem albums over the years, the truth would line up exactly on what Lord Jamar is saying. I have stated the same for years. Not knocking Eminem as a person but his rhyme schemes are so elementary to most. Dr. Seuss type shit…
Why would you agree with him and then ask for stats on record sales – when he is trying to say record sales are irrelevant?
Because we would like to see “who” buy his music idiot!
You look at literally any rapper’s record sales, and it is going to be mostly white dudes. I guarantee it.
Raise your hands if you have Eminem in your car or hit the gym with Eminem blasting.
Exactly! Lord Jamar is correct!!!
The Em Ft. Nate tracks are good for the gym
Em is not wack…however, Lord J is right as it pertains to black people listening to Em. And he is correct on how white folks will crown him king because of record sales. History, as usual, will be white-washed. Two things we will never be able to avoid in ANY conversation…race and money. They go hand in hand, even as it pertains to Em.
Not too sure where you get the idea that white people are the ones who relate record sales to legacy. I’m sure it’s black rappers who constantly refer to their sales or wealth as an indicator of their talent….
Agree to disagree.
Eminem music is completely trash! Ask Jay Z…
jAY z IS STILL MAD ALL THESE YEARS BECAUSE HE GOT MURDERED ON HIS OWN SONG “RENEGADE”??
white trash love Eminem they are racist white people and they don’t realise that Eminem is Hebrew.
black trash hate Eminem becouse he have white skin and he is better in rapping from all mainstream rappers, black people are racist
If em is only regarded good because of being white then i imagine his fellow rappers would be the first ones calling him out but some of the best rappers ever can be found giving him praise, all black rappers too like Rakim, redman, jay z, j cole, black thought, tech nine and more you can look it up. And also if its a white thing then why is it that none of the other white rappers could ever reach those heights of success and respect
This has nothing to do with music. We already know Lord Jamar don’t fuck with Emin. This bullshit isn’t even newsworthy just using Eminem’s name for clicks. I admit it worked but bullshit like is exactly what’s wrong with the music industry. Y’all talk about everything but the music and than wonder why “fans” don’t appreciate the music or artist. Platforms like this is what killed Hip-Hop.
Em is wack but he’s doper, and more hip hop than Jamar ever has or ever will be. Dudes delusional and has no clue of hip hops history, since white people are part of its foundations. Also rap didn’t start with Hip Hop poetry dates back centuries, so does music and dance. James Brown also personified all hip hop elements decades before it was conceptualised.
You want to talk appropriation let’s talk comic book culture, started by whites, all of its initial artists, writers, creators, publishers all white, Black Panther was a success because white people supported him and all these other black, and female characters for over 5 decades and now they’re all being appropriated by culture vultures.
FOH Jamar you’re nothing but a dickhead who was never relevant and who should’ve been left in the 90s with that wack ass group you was in.
Eminem raps about his world and what he knows. Isn’t that what makes an MC authentic. Why in the world would he rap about black people problems when he’s not black? If he did it would be fake. Not for nothing but how many black people can relate to what black rappers are saying? All blacks ain’t flipping keys, or cooking crack, or busting guns, or riding dirty. Let’s be real here.
raping his mother is what em knows?? stabbing people with knives is what em knows??? lmfao you can say a lot about em but not that he is authentic. he talks a lot of bullshit just for shock value and because it rhymes
Either the jealousy is strong in this one or hes on the wave of trying to get attention to his name.
LOL!! My man is BIG mad. Just make some music Jamar. You’re the new Benzino.
LORD JAMAR IS A KNOWN RACIST.
I don’t know man, he’s kind of growing on me. I respect that he’s not backing down.
He’s a culture vulture. He made a billion off hip hop then voted for Romney and Trump. True story.
Trump used to be loved by hiphop abs Hollywood. Trump used to be cool with Snoop, Eminem, 50…. I can’t beleive in 2019 we still have people knocking others for voting red, as if voting blue is better for black America lol. Mental slaves never left the Plantation.
I’d bootleg all his albums and give them away.
Fuck Feminem! He killed my brudda!
Everyone read a Dr. Seuss book and then listen to Eminem’s lyrics and rapping style. One Word… Duplicate
You sound young as fuck
This dude lost all respect, his ignorance and blatant racism and hatred are exactly what hip hop doesn’t need. He’s got race barriers up all around him and tries to leverage others into his ignorant path. Opinions and facts can be stated and delivered without all the extra retoric, and while part of of the early days of hip hop and it’s representation to and for the black community, now has evolved to a collective to unify not divide. He’s a black trump when he speaks narcissistic , self appointment and approved, and sucking at what he’s supposed to do….
Smh! When a New Yorker ignores rap skills. WTF happened?
Nobody cares about Lord Jamar, the only time we remember he exists when he talks about Eminem. Em didn’t do a verse about him, literally gave him one line warning him to leave him alone. What a clown. He acts like Em is only cosigned by white people when most of the best rappers in the world, cite Em as one of their inspirations.
Every true hiphop fan knows Brand Nubian and Lord Jamar you sound ignorant bro
You sound ignorant because I never said nobody knew who he was. I say nobody cares about him and we wouldn’t know he’s still alive if he didn’t talk about Em. Lern 2 reed INGlishe.
Once again, logic bodies joiner
F*ck shit Brand Nubian, hip hop was the same all the time without this shitty group. What did they bring to rap? NOTHING
White people don’t really think that highly of Eminem either. IDK how that narrative entered the diaspora, I don’t dislike him but I don’t know anyone who’s into his music.
Jealousy is a terrible thing.
Man, it must be hard to be Lord Jamar. Living with all that hatred in his heart every day must be exhausting.
He is 100% white people crowned Eminem because of record sells, the black community as a whole does not and has never supported Eminem
You don’t speak for the community and neither does Jamar
So not ONE single person ever purchased an Eminem album or has gone to his concerts ? FOH. And by “the black community” are you referring to the ones that hate whitey no matter what aka uncle Toms ?
Racism is alive and strong with this man
And in this comment section
White people fuck off. We don’t care bout ur opinion on hip hop.
Lord jamar? Keep out your own commen section ya racist bastard
Why dont you go fuck your dog while licking your moms pussy and you getting fucked by your baby brother like usual.. you racist rapist fuck… whites are the fucken foundation of hip hop you fucken clown peanut brain. Now blacks are destroying hip hop like everything else in this world
Eminem ia not wack but he is not the GOAT. He’s a dope rhymer but not in my TOP 50. The problem with Em is, he’s the most popular rapper in the world so his stans will always outnumber people who are thinking realistically. BTW, my GOAT is Krayzie Bone. He created the flow all these rappers and R&B singers are using. He has reached a level of advancement that has not been surpassed since. Listen to the song “Family Tree” and peep the last verse to see what I’m talking about. Jay-Z, Nas and other generic rappers are mentioned in Top 5’s cause they are being pushed by the media.
Not in to 50… are you stupid LOL? Most people who actually know & understand hip hop have him top 5.. if not nothing lower than to 10. Lmfao top 50 LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!
LMAO Lord Jamar is still an angry racist I see. He’s been hating on Eminem & white people forever now. He’s getting to Joe Budden’s level of hating on Eminem. Guess sometimes you just gotta hate for no reason just to try and get a shred of relevance. Jamar will never really amount to anything or serve any purpose anyways though.. There’s actually a ton of black people who listen to Eminem & even consider him the GOAT. Or at least one of the greats. When will this dude stop whining?
“…only white people and people on the internet [talked about it].”
Yet here you are… you fucking sucker
I don’t listen to Eminems music like that but Em is well respected by his peers of great emcees. That’s all he cares about. Eminem came up battling his way up just like any regular dope emcee would and made a buzz in the underground just like any regular emcee. Even with all the hate Lord Jamar continues to throw at Em Eminem still respects Brand Nubian. I guarantee if you was to put Eminem and Lord Jamar in the same room and have them take a hip hop test I really do believe that Eminem would have the better grade because at the end he pays homage to the greats and he knows his hip hop. He’s a guest in hip hop and so is Lord Jamar. You don’t have to love Eminem’s music but you gotta respect his skill set he is a beast when it comes to emceeing.
[Verse 3: Lord Jamar] Brand Nubian
I heard your single on the battle of the beats
It won five nights, I bet you had the time of your life
Workin’ so hard and so long to make a record
Finally to make a song people respected
Collect the dough at a show as you sip the Mo’
Now you hittin’ the flow, you never hit befo’
That’s a trip, how much better could it get?
Got the leather with the work check, all up in the whip
They’re all legitimate, callin’ it what it’s really not
This is just one single you got, that’s really hot
Tomorrow it could bust just like a blood clot
Leave you in the dust with your body to rot
Another party to rock, if it’s you or if it’s me
It doesn’t matter cause it just won’t stop
Don’t let your gray matter pop
Cause when you release the album
If they don’t cop, you gonna get dropped, so
WEAK WEAK WEAK WEAK!!! dude been bitter
Lord Jamar don’t really want no rap battle with Em, he’s sounding quite bitter….. Shot out to Brand Nubians tho…….
Racist and homophobic, yet people take this dude seriously. If whites are only guests to hip hop (as he has stated, as well as there being no place for gay in hip hop), then black people are guests to everything North American including sports and society in general. And in saying that, he should be pissed that Jackie Robinson ever stepped foot on that baseball diamond. He’s a moron just looking for attention that’s all. He was something to look up to (kinda) at one point, not anymore.
Em been wack for a long time and Stans need to quit lying to themselves. He had a good run but has been overrated since 2003 imo. All his new shit sucks and he should retire. If you love listening to an old angry white rambling rehabilitation patient venting about the generation of mindless drug addicts he influenced in the first place, aye go ahead.
lmaoo spot on
I’ve never heard of you. You look salty and racist. You must have never been to an Eminem show and seen the thousands and thousands of black people at one of his shows. I’m not a huge fan personally but he’s shitting on anyone you know. You sound like a bitter 50 year old. What’s your name again?
#TruthMusic
Jamar is going over the top. But I agree in the sense that Eminem is no goat, it is not even close. Because Eminem’s popularity is so big people allude that to him being the goat which is nonsense. No doubt Eminem got skills and can rhyme against anyone but there are still so many rappers who are better and have released much better albums which is important. Such as Rakim, G rap, Kane, Wu tang, Biggie, Pun, Gangstarr, Mobb deep, Roots, Black thought, Dre, Ice cube, Big l, OC, Jeru, 2pac, Krs one, Redman LL cool j, Tribe and the list goes on… Em is probably not even the best white rapper RA rugged man is better music wise.
Lost interest at not even close, then got to your last sentence LMFAO!? Not even the best white rapper…. ok lmao. what a stupid comment.
It’s true though musically Eminem is way overrated. Vinnie paz is better musically and also Ra. They have more soul and substance to their music compared to Eminem.
I’m a fan of RA and you can’t be serious!
@Ahmad I am talking music wise. Eminem is very overrated there is no real soul or substance to his music. He has a few tracks which go quite deep.
what a stupid comment about RA….RA the rugged man does the same multi syllable ryhmes as EM…content wise its the same shit….RA raps about disgusting fucked up shit that only white people can rap about….all the reasons Jamar said EM is not considered king of rap apply to RA as well cuz basically its the same without the big budget
@uglytruth Ra has much better beats than Em. Also Vinnie paz has more substance and has better beats.
I’m just hear to see the tears from all the butthurt Stans
Em ain’t the goat but Jamar claiming that hip hop can only be judged by the crack head on the corner is weak. Elementary rhymes about drugs and pimps ain’t what hip hop is about either…wonder if this clown realizes that most of brand nubians sales were bought by white people…it wasn’t the streets that made you hot in the 90s Lord, it was the white teens with disposable income…nothing street bout that….so I guess Lord Jamar is just a whitewashed wannabe
Been a fan of Nubian since back in the day. But let’s not pretend like we’ve not only heard Jamar’s name twice in the past several months: When Eminem mentioned him, and when he mentioned Eminem. Hmmm…
Jamar was harsh with his wording but there is some truth to it. While Eminem is a goat, Eminem ain’t being played in the club and black folks do not listen to him. No one is dancing to Eminem. Your not going to a party and they are gonna play Eminem these days – it’s a niche audience of mainly nerdy white folks that love him but he’s not gonna be played at a block party. His voice is way too high pitched. Biggie, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Dr Dre and even Drake getting those plays but you ain’t gonna be at the club and there gonna start playing Eminem – he just doesn’t have that level of appeal even though I respect him as a battle rapper and lyricist.
Pitbull is played in every club in the World, Europe, North America, South America, Africa, Austrialia, Asia… and what, he is a rap legend? You speak stupidity like Lord Jamar. Who the f.. said, that the rapper must be played in the club? Eminem is doing another type of rap.
Right…the people who actually BUY the music listen to him. It’s called the music business, hiphop didn’t wanna be a part of that bullshit until they thought it was racist for them not to be…so we sold hiphop out and now we cry about it. “Be careful what you wish for” is a very intelligent quote and applies to the fall of hiphop perfectly
Yo ya sound dumb asf black people don’t like em or dont listen to him how many black rappers did song or has respect for the man sound u sound retarded asf I’m from the hood and everyone listen him stop throwing racists into everything
Is lord jamar a spokesperson for black delegation?
Eminem success as a white rapper envy lot of people.
Who the fuck is lord jama?
He just a bitch aka mother fucker who suck Eminem’s dick and his sisters spreading their legs for Eminem to inside them
This dude is literally the black equivalent to white supremacy. Lucky for him there’s an unwritten rule absolving black people from racism.
I totally agree with him. Eminem is a dope rapper that has the corniest music ever. He has no soul or hood in his music. Most of you stans think he started with Dr Dre, but he was dope in the 90’s before he sold out. Most good artists in any Genre don’t get their praise only the pop stars of every genre. Most people are not into music they just like what the radio tells them is good. I been going to hip hop shows since the 80’s and since Em came out you never hear Dj’s playing his music because it’s weak. If Em wanted to be dope he would have had real producers do his music. Props Lord Jamar for calling this pop star out. Hip hop is hood poor people music and always will be. You cats can’t change the birth place and the intent of the music you can only steal it and make it what it’s not !
If it was not for the internet, I would not know how stupid black people are
Ok… His metrics for measuring which rappers are greatest is race apparently. So basically this guy, whoever he is, thinks that accessing a rapper’s level of greatness is not based on records sold, lyricism, or any other thing that actually has to do with the music of hip hop, but in order to qualify for being great in hip hop you have to be black.. Sorry but no. Eliminate this fool someone please. You are racist.
the thing is….no matter who you bring up as the ‘king of rap’ theres always gon be some bitch who will disagree with it…for instance…people say KRS ONe….others will be like he is a has been…same thing with NAS…you bring up Jay-Z people will be like…naaah he sold out…hes doint fake bullshit music now….hes a pop star….what about Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Lakim Shabazz, Apache, Kool G Rap, Masta Ace…who really deserves the crown? MF Doom maybe? Will Smith? I bet some people will even put MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice above Eminem as king of rap…so really who gives a shit…meanwhile HipHops bein flooded with mumble rap bullshit…but hey according to Jamar thats real hiphop cuz Young thug and Tekashi and Lil Yachty bein played in club and their shit does not overdo the ‘ryhming’
The thing is, it’s art so it will always be subjective. One man might think Rakim is the greatest, the next man might say Em, the next might say Too $hort, the next might say Master P. And if that rapper checks all that person’s boxes, who’s to say that person is wrong?
still hating for no reason I see….. all that negative energy could be used for something positive, but nah.
What exactly is the criteria for “The Goat”? I gotta ask.. I gave it sum thought.. Hw does this sound
Ability & Skill
Respect From Peers
Longevity
Underground & Commercial success
Overall Impact on the Culture
I dunno wat else can b added there?, but for me if an emcee ticks all these boxes then he should be in contention for Goat status & i think Em qualifies easily even if u dont like his music or it doesnt bump in the “black” clubs.. Jamar sounds bitter & racist as fuck!!

Umm .. Someone tell this moron that a WHITE GIRL named BLONDIE actually created Rap .. as she was the first musician to make a rap song ..
Not true. She was introduced to rap by Fab Five Freddy….smh
Go back and listen to The Fat Back Band’s song King Time III.
You think that Blondie invented Rap?!?! ?♂️?♂️
Jesus f*ck! You’re EXACTLY what he’s talking about!
What Lord Jamar is saying is facts. Em is a very good commercial rapper, but a real true hip hop head, they’re not banging Em at all.
holy fuck the stupid now days.
This dude racist as hell. Take your old ass back home before 50 come smack you
The only thing Curtis would slap with him with his Lil 50 lol.
Jamar on the show Oz, season 4 and episode 5; “I like poetry. You know, I suck at writing myself.”
I know it’s just his character on the show, but it’s surprisingly true in real life too. This man writes elementary rhymes. If Em’s wack, I don’t know that he thinks his stuff is.
So blacks can,rap about drugs fucking woman and gang banging that’s rap stfu
Most people wouldn’t even know who Lord Jamar was if it wasn’t for Eminem. Him mentioning Em’s name get him attention. That’s the true motive behind all these mentions. Fuck Lord Jamar.
Actual he was in a very good hip hop group and he was on the HBO series OZ. I like Jamar, but I think he may be hating on em. I don’t care for em’s music, but I respect his skills.
He was also in that newer show… “The Night of”? He’s not a good actor, though.
Jamar released one solo album in his entire life and was featured just a few times on other artists’ songs…just for comparison: Grand Puba released like 6 solo albums? Sadat X has like 10 or more solo albums? and God knows how many guest appearances Puba and Sadat have..Sadat just actually released a whole collaboration album with El Da Sensei….
Lord Jamar released ONE solo album and YES he discovered dead prez and produced one fuckin song on their debut album and nothing else….maybe he just butthurt he aint got the skills to actually put a tight rap song together…I listened to his 5% Album…its straight trash…
ok lets put it together: Lord Jamar helped launch the career of just dead prez, one solo album
Eminem helped launch rap careers of Obie Trice, 50 Cent, D12, Stat Quo and at least gave these fucks some limelight: Cashis, Bobby Creekwater
Boogie has been around before Eminem, just like 50 Cent..but Em elevated their careers to another level…well, Id say Eminem did more for black community than Jamar lol
Listen at you “act white”, “act black”, “white fans” ect.. what the FUCK does that have to do with anything.. sounds extremely racist to me what is “acting black” what the fuck does that even mean? Racism still exist because of fucktards like you that have a need to use race in everything you talk about…. act black
.. fucking rediculous
In opinion, you live in a white world. Everything is perfect in your world because racism doesn’t effect you. Have u ever had to deal with racist people and/or situations, no. Most White people could care less about black life until it touches you. Acted black or acted white? In my opinion, blacks have a certain style, confidence, flair, coolness and heart that whites usually do not have. Em and his fans love white men acting black instead of white. No disrespect to whites but white men love to bite the lastest black styles.
U don’t live in the real world. Whites never deal with racism. Whites not all of them cause racism. It is easy to dismiss racism because you don’t care or bother yourself with it. I wish my life was that simple. Lets trade places then reality will set in. You call me racist because i don’t agree with your opinion. Unarmed black men get shot because we scare them. How many times have you been shot for no reason but i’m the racist.
Let the truth be told! Em was a sellout from the beginning. A black artist couldn’t get away with commercial music and still have credibility in hip hop. Will smith was exiled from hip hop after Doing commercial songs. Em should be treated the same way. Since Em sold out, he can never be considered one of the greatest hip hop artists .
then Jay-Z(multiple songs, too many to mention), Nas (Mariah Carey, Robin Thicke, JLo song,), Redman (Christina Aguilera Song), RZA (European gay songs he did), Snoop Dogg (multiple songs Katy Perry), LL COOL J, Ghostface Killah (Amy Winehouse), Busta Rhymes (pussycat dolls), Kendrick lamar (taylor swift song, dido song) even Run Dmc back in the day jumped on Aerosmith and did a song…and many many more should be exiled from hiphop then…only idiots like you dont have arguments to support their thesis….come with some knowledge
U don’t get the point. Why does m need to sell out? The country is mostly white. If he did straight hip hop again, em would still have the white fans in his corner because he is white. Em needs to stop acting black. Just because he was a poor white male doesn’t give him the license to act black. In my opinion, the insane clown posse acts white and stills rap. One of the biggest reasons they don’t sell because they act white. If em acted white he wouldn’t sell shit either. White people love white artists that acted black. Em and elvis are two phoney white dudes that got pay for being black.
No need for insults. We are just having debate. It’s nothing personal. Get back stan!
so youre sayin doin a song with Ed Sheeran and Rihanna and Yelawolf and Pink and Sia and Nate Ruess is “acting black”, cuz thats when he sold out…and what do you mean if he did straight hiphop again? You mean like The MM LP when he collaborated with Sticky Fingaz, RBX, Snoop etc
Lets just recap…2Pac had mostly white fans, in Europe he is still huge and Europe only has corny white dudes celebratin hiphop..check the concert audiences…white! no matter who comes to perform…even KRS ONE..only white dudes come to his shows..I know cuz i attend their concerts and Im the one of the few dark skinned dudes attending (Im arab by the way)
Also antoher reason for em “acting black” is that he grew up in a mostly black environment, how can you not adapt there
Vanilla Ice acted black, J cole acts black, cuz hes from a suburb with a white mom and attended college like a white boy and his manners are white…Drake is rather white than black…hes from toronto..no ghetto fuckin child…ask NECRO, hes white, but hes from the hood, Kool G Rap knows, he collaborates a lot with him (check interview where hes asked about whites bein guests in the house of hiphop)
Check Krs One’s statement on that too, he names a lot of white and latino artists that started HipHop (and I mean HipHop not RAP, graffiti, break dancing, DJing). Its not your skin color, its where you from homes!
Plus Em always referred to himself as white trash
He is still phoney. Vanilla ice acted black until it didn’t pay anymore. Vanilla acts white on his show. It is just a matter time that em will start to be white again. I grew up in the suburbs but don’t acted white. I knew a guy who hung around mostly blacks but didn’t acted black. He was just a white guy chillin with the brothers. Most people in the trailer park were white. Therefore he should be white instead of black.
I still dont get what you mean by “acting black.” Rapping about raping your own mother, imitatin crazy accents, showin your white ass every chance you get, gettin on songs with the most corny artists like PINK and ed sheeran, dissin white boy groups, startin beef with white teeny girls like christina aguilera and britney spears, doin catchy sing sang songs and startin off every new album you drop with such one (my name is, real slim shady, without me, just lose it, FACK, we made you)…that sounds fuckin white to me…i dont know a single black rapper who done that or would do that…can you please define “actin black” and give some examples!
Damn ppl stay on em dick hard af ya talking about sell outs half the songs you listen to are by sell outs let’s be real about this shit ya just wanna target the white boy cause hes an easy mark how bout Jay z or kanye they both sell outs an you still buy into the shit they feed you so stfu about sell outs half you been sell outs your whole life anyways
also, lets be clear here. Im arab, and I cant speak for the arabs in the States but in Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Yemen, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. MY people fuckin love eminem, not just him also lots of Snoop fans over there and Kendrick etc..but the point is…where does that put us? Cuz were clearly not Caucasians….some of us are blacker than black folks in the states lol….(Ice-T for example, most of my friends are darker skinned than ICE-T, J Cole, Drake) its not just skin complexion that equals skill or creditbility…
lets take a look at the other side of the coin….Xclan, Public Enemy, Lakim Shabazz, Poor Righteous Teachers, Brand Nubian, Black Star (Mos Def & Kweli), Dead Prez, Paris…its not just black, dark skinned hood people that listened and bought these albums…Again Eminem and Ra the rugged man are fans of these and have mentioned these rappers/groups/albums in the past on multiple occasions. And again, take a look at Europe, theres so many fuckin white nerdy people celebratin afrocentric groups and albums. Come to a concert of MOS DEF and youll see white audience!! Pure white audience as if it was a KKK meeting…i swear! So what does that make these groups? are they sell outs too? just cuz half their album and concert tickets sales come from whites?
And again, dont shit on me, Im arab, not white, my skins darker than most african americans lol, born in somalia, grew up in jeddah, saudi arabia.
The only mfers checking for Jamars opinion are the feds and Vlad, who happens to be the feds…
I’ve never heard of this guy or any of his music hahahahaha
All while suckin vlad culture vulture fed Masonic ass dick huh , bruh this dude here , who the fuck checking for jamar or brand Nubian
Brand Nubian first album better than ANYTHING Eminem put out. Check yourself
For Lord Jamar to have an opinion about Eminem, he first must have an important status. The worth of a great artist is not measured by how much you play him in the club or in your car, but instead about the message he’s sending. So whether Jamar likes it or not, the Earth will continue to rotate around the Sun. Eminem didn’t just act black, he loved the culture, and he gave back to the culture.
Lord Jamar speaking the truth. Brand Nubian was the realest shit in the early 90s. Eminem can be as popular with mainstream as he want to be. Real hip hop heads laugh at him with his corny lines. To be considered great in my mind, you can’t have “one” corny line and Eminem has more than a few. Nothing new to me
