Drop The Bomb Em!

Drop The Bomb Em!

Let’s just get to it. Whenever there’s a white guy that’s a MC, the comment “he straight for a white dude” is usually the first comment. I get it, sort of. In the beginning, most white people were not messing with Hip Hop, or even found it the least bit tolerable. They hated the graffiti art, had no idea what the DJ was doing, and mocked the dress and movements. You’ve seen it when they contort their faces and arms and pose like a B-Boy with cerebral damage. But with the Beastie Boys (One of the dopest groups PERIOD), white people had an entry to Hip Hop with something and someone that they could somewhat relate to. Since that introduction, many fans of Hip Hop are white so it’s only natural that generations later there are white MC’s and to me it doesn’t matter if your black, white, brown, or turquoise, dope is dope.

 What leads me to this is me and my homeboy were discussing how Eminem is probably the best MC (Not just rapper) that there is but will never get full credit because he’s white. We went into how his sales were probably increased because he’s white, and that may be true, however it comes with the territory. Because he’s white there is a resonance with Caucasians that goes deeper than music. This is the same connection that Latino and Black listeners have an inner understanding of the music an MC of their own race. This all came about because my homeboy and I were having a conversation about Emenim and how he is about the best MC (Not just rapper) that there is. I don’t care what color, nice is nice.

 The facts are that (A) He’s white (B) He breathes Hip Hop (C) He has been with black people majority of his life. Then the conversation moved into our normal frank nature that the sensitive individuals may find completely offensive. My boy said that in his eyes, he doesn’t see Em as a white dude he sees him as a quote “N Bomb”. Yes, he said “N Bomb”. We are cut from a different cloth from most so, sometimes our thoughts are deemed to be outlandish. With that being said, my homeboy said that he’s waiting for Em to drop the N Bomb on wax. I said that he will never do it and can’t do it because black people aren’t ready for that, but it wouldn’t bother me in the least. You may ask why and that is because I don’t feel that it would be in a malicious nature and I think he knows, understands, and has been a PART of black culture. In some people’s eyes that is not a pass, but I’m not easily offended. Mel Gibson didn’t piss me off and neither did George Jefferson calling people honkeys. So, the question is posed. Can Emenim drop the N Bomb? Post your comments below and TELL SOMEBODY!
