Remember the XXL article from spring 1999? I still find it funny that XXL called Eminem a culture stealer because he isn't down with the Foo Fighters or Led Zepplin or something.
If Eminem is a black culture stealer. Then what the fuck is white culture? Julia Roberts movies or something. Fuck that, Eminem has respect for the culture, and recognizes that it is black culture. (I never understood that because Beastie Boys were also founders of hip-hop, and one of the Fat Boys I believe was white, etc.) I don't blame Em for never wanting speak to XXL. They fucked up.

Prince Markie Dee [Fat Boys] was Latino. It's a Black culture because we started it but it was real ignorant how XXL called Eminem a culture stealer because every race shares this culture now. Actually it should be called a Black/Latino culture because Puerto Ricans had just as much to do with the creation and upbringing of Hip Hop.
-
What about the Beastie Boys? They were there in the beggining.
-
Yeah, who wants to keep something to themselves, anyways? I wanna share my culture with everybody I meet.
-
Hip Hop is black culture just like Rock and Roll was then the whites made it mainstream...I ain't mad though it just brings it to a wider audience maybe some white peeps who buy an Eminem album will go ahead and buy a Mobb Deep album...It's all gravy...
-
I Guess XXL makes jimi hendrix a culture stealer too. And Charlie Pride, one of the first Black country musicians, from the 60's.
-
Fuck XXL you're a size too small I should hire Eminem so we can kill you all
-
What about the Beastie Boys? They were there in the beggining.
Not really. They weren't there in '76 when the first kids were MCing and breaking in the park in BX. They were one of the pioneers in making it mainstream though.
Jimi Hendrix couldn't have been a culture stealer because Rock N Roll was originally "Black music". I can't say anything about Country music because I haven't read or heard anything about it's origins.
P.S. The editor of XXL is one of the most immature idiots I have ever seen. He is as bad as Star. That fool disses all the other magazines and rappers he doesn't like.
-
actually i heard b4 tha beasties broke into tha rap scene they were actually doin punk rock, this kid was talkin about last year in school
-
i guess that lenny kravitz is a culture stealer too then cuz hes black and is a rock and roll guy.
-
Yup yup, XXL got several racist's, especially that corny-azz editor of theirs, he's plain stupid.
If yall listened to some of Beastie Boys first shit, or the greatest hits for that sake, yall hear that they were playin punk-rock, but really; so what? I aree with Trauma, what is wrong with sharing culture? If white people is accused of stealing culture when they're rapping, then it's obvious that the one that said it is just jealous. Who thinks Eminem gives a fuck what a mag-editor says?
-
i guess kareen camble is a culture snatcher , i mean c'mon a black skatboarder (sarcasm)
this is what pisses me off about black people and mexicans(my own people)
anyone who says anything like what XXL said shoud be looked upon if they were white dising blacks, 100% of the blacks alive today were never slaves and 100% of the whites today were not slave owners
-
Rock and Roll was created by Blacks....In the 50's R&B and Jazz created it..It was performed by BLACKS..Until a whiteboy by the name of Elvis Pressly blew it up...They wanted Elvis because He could sing "black"
-
Fuck, if its like that, all the black basketball players today are culture stealers...
-
Why's everybody doggin' black folks because of the views of one ignorant son of a bitch? I know y'all don't seriously mean it but you've proved your points already.

Fuck, if its like that, all the black basketball players today are culture stealers...
Well Basketball was invented by a white guy, and Jews were the first great basketball players, but whatever.
And as for Hip-Hop, it started with Blacks and Puerto Ricans throwing parties. In N.Y., it's OK for a Puerto Rican to say nigga, 'cause the Blacks excepted that. If you want to get technical, the Westcoast are culture stealers too. Fuck that, Hip-Hop is also promoting unity, starting with Blacks and Puerto Ricans, and now with everybody. Fuck all other racist muthaphukkaz that don't agree. That's why there latin rappers like SPM, Frost and Fat Joe, and white rappers like Eminem, Bubba Sparxxx and 3rd Bass, and rappers from the dirty south, and gangsta westcoast.
