Dr. Umar Johnso: ‘Eminem can’t be considered the greatest rapper of all time because he’s white’

Dr. Umar says much of Eminem’s status and success comes from ‘white privilege.’

Dr Umar joined Joe Budden on his podcast, The Joe Budden Podcast.

It was here that he launched into a passionate tirade about white people participating in Black culture.

Dr. Umar Johnson believes:

“Eminem has all the privileges of a white male and all the privileges of being in the hip hop community, so we got to be careful about letting non-africans into our community.”

Budden, who has had some beef himself with the rapper, added: “I don’t like that,” before interjecting: “You don’t think Eminem is one of the greatest rappers of all time?”

To which Dr Umar said: “According to who?”

And Budden responded: “According to rap fans?”

Dr. Umar was pretty resound in his opinion on the rapper’s status in the game:

“No non-African can ever be the best of anything African.”

It’s an insult to the ancestors. It’s an insult to the race and it’s an insult to every Black person.”
