Over
the
holiday
weekend,
Joe
Budden
gave
Hip-Hoppers
a
different
kind
of
Christmas
present
when
he
shared
a
few
clips
of
Dr.
Umar
Johnson
off
the
next
episode
of
his
podcast.
WAnd
while
there
were
a
few
entertaining
and
intriguing
topics
that
were
broached,
the
internet
exploded
over
his
take
on
Eminem
being
the
rap
G.O.A.T.
Sitting
down
with
Joe
Budden
and
crew
for
a
Patreon
exclusive
episode,
Dr.
Umar
was
asked
about
his
thoughts
about
Eminem
being
considered
one
of
the
G.O.A.T.’s
in
the
Hip-Hop
game,
which
prompted
quite
the
spirited
response
from
the
man
who
bluntly
stated
“No
non-African
can
ever
be
the
best
of
anything
African.”
Continuing
to
drive
his
point
home,
the
good
doctor
expounded
on
his
opinion
saying,
“It
is
an
insult
to
the
ancestors.
It
is
an
insult
to
the
race.
It
is
an
insult
to
every
Black
person.
Do
you
think
I
can
go
to
Palestine
and
be
the
best
anything
of
Palestinian
culture?
You
never
see
that!
You
think
I
can
go
to
Israel
and
be
the
best
of
anything
in
Israel
whether
it
be
a
cook,
an
instrumentalist,
a
dancer?
Hell
no!”
Well,
he’s
not
wrong.
Also,
Lord
Jamar
is
probably
somewhere
clapping
right
now.
Dr.
Umar
doesn’t
like
people
crowning
Eminem
the
best
of
anything
in
Hip-Hop
culture.
While
Umar
acknowledges
Marshall
Mather’s
talent
as
an
artist,
he
added,
“For
you
to
put
him
at
the
top,
that’s
white
supremacy,
brother!”
Naturally,
people
on
social
media
either
agreed
or
disagreed
with
Dr.
Umar’s
take
on
Eminem’s
legacy
in
the
rap
game,
but
regardless
of
how
you
may
feel,
Dr.
Umar
isn’t
going
to
have
his
mind
changed
on
the
matter
so
long
as
Eminem
is
a
Caucasian
and
that’s
the
kind
of
a
forever
thing.
Check
out
Dr.
Umar
Johnson
break
it
down
for
the
people
in
the
back
below
and
let
us
know
your
thoughts
on
the
take
in
the
comments
section
below.
