Stevie Wonder Bashes Eminem for Jackson Criticism
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - In a rare public outburst, Stevie Wonder has blasted Eminem (news - web sites) for ridiculing Michael Jackson (news) in a video, and suggested the rapper was hypocritical because he owed his success to poor and black people.
Jackson himself has already lambasted Eminem's video for the song "Just Lose It," which makes light of child molestation charges against the self-styled "King of Pop."
Wonder joined the fray by telling Billboard magazine that he was "really disappointed" in Eminem.
"Kicking someone when he's down is not a good thing," Wonder was quoted as telling the music industry trade publication. "I have much respect for his work, though I don't think he's as good as (late rapper) 2Pac. But I was disappointed that he would let himself go to such a level."
Added Wonder, "He has succeeded on the backs of people predominantly in that lower pay bracket, people of color. So for him to come out like that is bull."
A spokesman for Eminem was not available for comment. The song, hailed by the Los Angeles Times as a "playful look at celebrity voyeurism," is expected to be among the nominees when contenders for the annual Grammy Awards are unveiled on Tuesday.

Stevie Wonder: a man who knows just a FEW things about music, I respect his opinion, he knows what the fuck he's talking about.
-
damn, i don't think i can remember the last time i heard Stevie Wonder was pissed off.
-
I don't think he ever has, lol. I'll tell you one thing, though... if he could see what the fuck they've done with his hair, you can bet your ass he'd be pissed off.

what does that have to to with Jackson? he's obviously not in the lower pay bracket, and noone's sure what color he is anyways
and wtf? it's gonna be up for a grammy?
-

First thing that came to my mind when I read the story too.
If Stevie could see maybe he'd realize that Mike is not poor nor black.
-
Exactly anyone who pulls the race card when he talks about Em/Jackson-"Beef" is a retard.
-

yea when did they start releasing videos in brail??
-
yo B...this whole mike jackson shit is old news....Stevie needs to sit his ass behind his little keyboard and bang out some music that is relevant today. The muthafucka need to stop trying to get back into the limelight by criticizing a video hes never SEEN and defending someone who STOPPED being black 15 years ago. Also, get that fool some Braille interview transcripts of mike jackson stating that it is OK for little kids to share a bed with him. I guess he never heard Styles p's verse that says;
you dont really want no action
cause i got trifling niggas just like mike jackson
and you little boys the victim
I'm the one who make the call and tell niggas go get 'em
-
^ Hell, NOBODY has heard Styles P's verse, so you can't really blame Stevie for that.
-
I do think it's wrong for people to pull the race card, I've been hearing a lot of that recently. It is more than obvious to anyone with an ounce of common sense that it wasn't racial.
And Stevie really should keep his mouth shut on the situation because he doesn't know what he's talking about.
-
why do they keep bringing up the race thing? he dissed Michael cause he's Michael, not cause he's black or whatever
thats just it hes not black
ya know mike used to be a very rich white woman
-
I love Stevie, I respect him highly as a musician, way more than either Micheal Jackson or Eminem (like both of them, too), but he don't know what the fuck he's talking about.

He sure does not know what the fuc he's rambling on about. Eminem owes poor people? juss because the man's white, it doesn't mean he grew up rich. wtf is Stevie Wonder trynna pull here? His whole speech is irrelevant. He juss trynna look out 4 his buddy I guess, cute.
-
Eminem has dissed so many people,I mean,who gives a fuck if he dissed Jackson.People over reacted for no fuckin reason.
