50 Cent has come to the protection of Eminem following Melle Mel’s feedback that Eminem is barely thought of to be a prime 5 rapper as a result of he’s White.
In an Instagram publish on Sunday (March 5), 50 Cent slammed Melle Mel for his essential remarks about Eminem’s No. 5 placement in Billboard and Vibe‘s Prime 50 Biggest Rappers of All-Time listing.
“There was more cash promoting dope than being in Hip Hop when Melly Mel was popping, the tradition has grown a lot,” Fif wrote in his IG publish that has since been deleted. “I’m not positive if it will be what it’s as we speak with out artist like Eminem. Shit I’m not positive I might be who I’m with out him however you realize it’s aggressive so n****s gonna hate. LOL f**ok outta right here ! We sucker free.”
What 50 is referring to Melle Mel’s interview with YouTube channel The Artwork of Dialogue the place he downplayed Eminem’s standing within the rap recreation and his No. 5 rating on Billboard and Vibe‘s listing, particularly.
“Clearly, he is a succesful rapper,” Mel acknowledged. “In case you speaking about gross sales, he offered greater than all people. In case you speaking about rhyme types, OK, he obtained rhyme type. However he is White. So, if Eminem was simply one other n***a like all the remainder of us, would he be prime 5 on that listing the place a n***a that may rhyme simply pretty much as good as him is [No.] 35? That had data and all that. He is 35.”
Melle Mel added that if he was White he’d be larger than Elvis on account of his contributions to the hip-hop tradition.
