Yes men are the reason that album trash, people scared to tell em when Shits wack. And Em did nothing for budden career slaughter house would've signed anywhere if the deal was right
All the caping theses niggas do for em, but no one came to Lauren hills defense when em said that bull about her
By being critical of Em's last album?
what did he say about Lauryn you mean that bar about buying her album so her kids could starve?
You do know that Lauryn had said she'd rather her kids starve than whites buy it right?
I never knew she said that, damn
Letās put this one to rest: If Lauryn Hill or any other member of the Fugees had said anything like that on MTV or anywhere else, the tape of those remarks would have hounded them ever after. That no one could produce such a tape ā or even agree on what was said, and by whom ā should have driven a stake through this rumorās heart.
MTV would later announce the allegation against Hill wasnāt true, but by then it was too late; the rumor was already in motion. In the wake of this controversy Hill did call in to The Howard Stern Show on 21 May 1996 to rebut the comment, and on numerous other occasions she denied saying anything remotely resembling the statement credited to her. During an MTV taping in 1998, for example, she maintained:
"You know, everybody has to be really careful, you know, what they ā¦ what they read and hear, because you never know whatās true. You know, a couple of years ago some kid had heard that Iād said that I didnāt want white people to buy my records, and that really, really hurt me a great deal because I like to think my music is really universal, you know, and Iāve been everywhere and I have fans everywhere, but because of some rumor that, you know, some radio personality chose to, you know, to say on his radio show, he had a bunch of people believing something that theyād never seen or never heard themselves but just heard a rumor."
He didn't hear the album to tell Em to his face.Did he tell Em he wasnt feeling the music to his face though??? I guessing he would of had the opportunity... If he told Em it was dope to his face knowing all along it was wack then thats disloyal imo, but telling it like it is I dont have a problem with it, as I dont see SH being that close (aside from royce) to Em...
For instance I dont see SH as being Em's crew or anything, normally I would expect a crew to ride or die (like 50 and G Unit for example) and if they dont like something just keep quite, but Joe told it like it is, but like I said, I dont see SH being Em's crew, day ones or confidant etc
There is no "if".Even if the rumor wasn't true at the time ppl thought it was so it was a bar about a statement that may have been a rumor.
he didn't make that shit up.
There is no "if".
Lauryn Hill never said it and Eminem could have easily found out whether or not it was true but because he's white, he gets every excuse under the sun: he didn't start the rumor, he was high on drugs, he was just joking with shock lyrics, he didn't know better, etc.
I'm waiting for Hip Hop to hold Eminem accountable for just ONE fucking thing in his entire creer.

Don't make me up that IC thread where all of Em's shit was put on full blast.I heard that shit back then too and thought she said it.
IDK why you think he really had anymore knowledge than anybody else just because he was in the industry.Yeah sometimes,but he way in LA and Detroit.
I just don't see the big deal with the line.Okay so he referenced a rumor that he may or may not know was true,and?
Did that line hurt anybody?
Em has been held accountable.Em really did have gay rights groups on him and then the Source situation.
He didn't hear the album to tell Em to his face.
I disagree.Signing me to Interscope is doing something for me.
And Joe said he's still signed to Em
I don't disagree with his opinion,but he went a little over board for somebody you're affiliated with.
I rock with Budden,but I knew it was gonna be trouble when he started going in on Em.
He already had said he was biased and would never speak down on Em,but the pressure got to him and then he went a little too far the other way IMO.
