Well, it appears that Dumbya has paid Hate Central a visit and spread the word -- we now have illiterate visitors...
As you can see below, I received the following comment in response to my Haters of the Year op-ed:
"You are the one who sucks! Eminem is so hot. He has a lot of talent and you are just jealous because you don't have the talent he has! He can rap, act and he can do anything he sets his mind to. Since you don't like Eminem then who do you like?!! You probably listen to Brittany Spears and nsync. NEVER DISS EMINEM AGAIN OR YOU WILL BE HEARING FROM ME!!!!!!!"
"In '02...Marshall gained acclaim as the artistic genius that he is, and most importantly, he did it his way...Mr. Mathers did it on his terms, and he's laughing all the way to the bank. The greatest emcee on the planet right now...is on top of the world."
Okeydoke...I'm sure Em would be pissed if he saw that. Maybe I'll even wind up in a song. People hate to be called the best in the world, and the term "artistic genius" is an unforgivable slur.
To Rosa, and to anyone else who was offended by my words -- I apologize. I am terribly sorry that you haven't received the proper schooling and don't yet know how to read. I feel horrible about the fact that you don't know the meaning of words like "genius" and "best." It really is all my fault.
For the record, Rosita, here's my list of the top- and bottom-10 emcees on earth. You've rushed to judgment on my musical tastes (I own no Britney or N*Sync albums, but Ms. Spears can stop by anytime), but I'd be willing to bet that you own more material from the bottom list:
BEST EMCEES OF ALL TIME:
1. Rakim (90 percent of rappers still catching up to shit he dropped in '87.)
2. Eminem (#1 is within reach, but he's gotta keep it up for a few more years.)
3. Chuck D (Four classic LPs before Flav got cracked out and the group crumbled.)
4. Pharoahe Monch (Between O.K. and his solo junk, he's been on it for a solid decade.)
5. Nas (Though albums 2-4 had loads of sellout tracks, they've all been at least decent.)
6. Tupac (He never really made a bad album, but anything higher is a sympathy vote.)
7. Big L (One stolen sample away from becoming a star -- now he's gone.)
8. Biggie (Had a strong, if all too brief, career, and did it despite Puffy.)
9. Posdnuos (The brains of the operation in what is easily the greatest group ever.)
10. KRS-ONE (Gets the veteran nod over LL and Cube -- he hasn't slipped as far as they have.)
WORST EMCEES OF ALL TIME (at least out of those people who have deals):
1. Ja Rule (No questions asked -- a bad Tupac ripoff cross-breeded with the poor man's DMX.)
2. Puffy (Pimped his dead friend to get famous, and still can't get another good ghost writer.)
3. Master P (Good Southern rappers are hard to come by -- because so many went this route.)
4. Nelly (I hesitate to even call him a rapper, but he insists -- so he's gotta be here.)
5. Vanilla Ice (How far has hip hop fallen when he barely cracks the top 5 now?)
6. White Dawg (I've never heard him, but Southern thug style + white = wackness.)
7. Mystikal (If he ever had a dope line, I missed it because he's so damn annoying.)
8. Trick Daddy (See Master P.)
9. Coolio (One catchy cover song -- now he's relegated to Celebrity Fear Factor.)
10. Foxy Brown (At least she gets average writers -- but she's still horrible.)
So there you have it.
I'm really hoping that this "Rosa" comment was posted as a joke by someone I know. But I've had this happen to me before, and the depths of stupidity shown by people nowadays can no longer shock me.
While Em has a lot more money and a slightly higher degree of talent than I do, I would certainly not hate on the man. He's singlehandedly allowed white kids to rock mics and not be thrown off stage, and for that I'm eternally grateful. I don't know if I'd call him "hot" exactly, but I get the idea, Rosa...you like the guy.
It's just too bad all of his fans aren't as bright as he is.
*sigh*
