This is called discrediting Dre's statement. You claim you have "NEVER bought Dre's claim", as you so fervently put it. Frankly, to me, this is implying that you do not believe Dre, thus you mean to say that Dre is not speaking the truth - lying. This is not why I say you have discredited Dre's statement. No. The reason you give for not believing Dre's claim is "Eminem sounded like the whitest cracker back then, so how could he not know he was white". You're using mere, pathetic, unproven assumption as a reason to not believe Dre's claim, which is complete fact. In a court of law, in any case where it is assumption VS fact, fact always provails. And in this instance it does aswell. By your pathetic assumptions you are trying to discredit fact, or play down the legitimacy of that fact, hence you are attempting to discredit Dre's statement. I do not know how to make this more clearer to you.
He shoul have known Eminem was white? I don't understand this. Again, for your benefit, i will bring up my comments on Eazy-E. With Eminem's previous style of voice, one could describe it as being somewhat whiney, much like a pubescent teenage boy. Eazy-E's voice had much of the same characteristic, yet Eazy-E was black. Again, although they're voices are quite similar for the reason i just mentioned, no one "thought" or "assumed" Eazy was white. Why, according to you, should Dre have "known" Eminem was white when Eazy had a similar voice but was black? I suggested this point previously but you chose to conviently ignore it and insult me some more by calling me stupid. Again ill mention the issue of race in hip hop. There are, what, 5 or so well known white hip hop artists that have ever existed, compared to hundreds that are black. This suggests black artists dominate the hip hop genre, not the white. And let me mention right now that the 5 or so well known white acts are not necessarily well known for their talents and skills on the mic. It is the case of precedent. Never before has there been a white MC such as Eminem, therefore how could Dre speculate that the man behind the ferocious battle skills was a white person, when for decades only a black person has shown such skill and a white hadnt ever been close? Though now, logically speaking, we all know NOW that there are white MC's that are capable of spitting heat with their battle rhymes, so NOW we can speculate whether a person is black or white depending on their skills. Therefore, to summarise, how was Dre supposed to assume Eminem was white when:
a) His voice is similar to Eazy's, yet Eazy was a black man and not a white man
b) Hip hop is dominated by black people. Naturally, Dre would have thought only a black person would have had that kind of talent and battle skills as Eminem had because there have never been any white MC's as good as Eminem. Now however, Eminem acts as a precedent.
You have insulted me repeatedly, please re-read what you have just posted. You say im retarded stupid etc. That is an insult. And frankly i dont give a flying 747 fuck if its not compared to half the people on this board, because i dont appreciate being insulted for no apparent reason.
Eminem was the first white rapper I'd ever heard, so please oh wise one, enlighten me on how the fuck i was supposed to know what a white rapper sounds like before listening to Eminem? Hip hop was dominated by blacks, id never heard what a "white cracker" sounds like, so naturally i assumed Eminem was black.
Jason, i would think first if i were you. You insult me for no particular reason, or maybe perhaps because my opinion differs from yours. Even so, i dont see that as a justification for your nasty words. For someone that has a Christina Aguilera fan page, you shouldnt be saying shit to me
