Some of you are really running with this. Did you actually listen/watch the video or are some just listening to audio bits? He's done several interviews along with this one where he specifically states in this vid & others that whites are guests in hip hop. He never said there wasn't a place for whites in hip hop. Some of you guys are funny.

Hip Hop transcends race and borders, there's French, Japanese, Mexican and everything in between rapping in the world. Are they guests too?
He's ignorant and bitter most likely because he sees the financial success of these white rappers, and thinks that some of that money is due to him.

lol. what the **** is the gay agenda? people who think that they should have the same rights that straight couples do? i see no reason why they shouldn't. anyone who thinks there's an agenda is just afraid that they secretly want a dick in the booty.
****phobia in hip hop is funny as **** though. every time i hear someone ***** about gay **** they just show everyone who they truly are given how ingrained prison culture is in some aspects of rap.

lord jamar is a respected old school rapper. he happens to be wrong, but i see his point about these white rappers.
If i'm listening to blues music...im not gonna be listening to white people playing it. WTF do white people have to be blue about? GTFOH!!!!
There is a certain authenticity when blacks create music because they have a genuine experience of being downtrodden, oppressed, etc whereas white suburban hip hop is just straight up corny.
Now you have the so called gay agenda politicizing it? I'm all for tolerance and anti-hate but its not something I wanna listen to in music. to each his own!
at the end of the day, music is art, and its very subjective. no opinion is wrong.

What year are you fukin living in? If it was in the time of when the blues originated, then you might have a point. Do you think white people don't suffer? What do you think country is?
The problem with your point about subjectivity is that he's not judging the music. He admitted that he likes Mackelmore, and other white rap artists. The problem is that he thinks just because they are of a lighter shade of skin, that somehow they will never be admitted in this exclusive club of hip hop that only black people are entitled to.
Sorry, it's 2014 not 1980. Hip hop has transcended race, nationality, gender and even sexual orientation. The funny thing is, I'm a huge Brand Nubian fan, but if you want to get down to the reality of the situation. Eminem will have a larger place in hip hop history than Lord Jamar will ever have and I'm sure that will be something that bothers him to the day he dies.
Ironic isn't it....
