Eminem - Warning (diss to Mariah & Nick Cannon)
- Thread starter Casey
- Start date
Dude, you know I'm a hardcore hip-hop head and even I only own one Slum Village album.
I think since J Dilla died there's a tendency by some people to hype up everything he was ever involved in like he a big star.....fact is the vast majority of hip-hop fans don't know anything about Dilla, much less Baatin. Sad, yes. Slum Village, underrated? Very much so.
I doubt more than 5 people on this board could even listen to a SV track and know which one Baatin was. Sad but true.

My point exactly, somewhere along the lines, hip hop stopped being about good music, and turned into some sort of fuckin Jerry Springer episode. Rap Beefs, entertaining, sometimes, yes. But someone the caliber of eminem, battling Mariah Carey, is sad, imo.
Regardless of what anyone says, Dilla was one of the most influential producers in the game. He was an emcees producer, those that were in the game knew the impact he had on the game. As far as Slum Village goes, they're a corner stone in detroit hip hop history. They carried the same torch as the likes of De La Soul and Tribe. For people not to be big fans of that type of hip hop is understandable. But to not show respect to it, is another thing.

I absolutely agree about Dilla. I think it's one of those things where someone lights a torch and other people run with it and reap the benefits of it. It really sucks when that stuff happens.
Dilla was basically broke when he died. I remember going into Fat Beats in LA shortly afterwards and there being a collection jar in there to raise money to help his mother pay the medical bills after he passed. It was pretty depressing to see.
As far as not showing respect....well....it's hard to say really. I don't think anyone who knows Dilla/SV would ever intentionally shun them. It's just that most people don't know of them I guess.
As far as this whole Mariah and Eminem thing, it's just PR and not be taken too seriously. Mariah's single was not picking up any buzz on radio, because basically it sucks. So she targets Eminem by dressing as him in the video and insinuating the song is about him. Eminem sees an opportunity to create PR buzz by dropping this diss track, and it worked. There's probably already been more discussion about this diss song than there was for the entire of the Relapse album.
