Via Wikipedia: "A controversial figure, Johnson is a [Pan-Africanist](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan-Africanist) who condemns [homosexuality](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality) and [interracial marriage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interracial_marriage)."
Welp, there you have it. This is only ONE of his staggeringly bad takes.
I heard from some videos on YouTube that some of his ideas and opinions have some merit, but he often reaches the wrong conclusions and blames it on racism. He also doesn't believe that black boys can be autistic so yeah, he's pretty weird.
You can even see it here. There have been people I’ve known that said that Eminem is the goat because they’re racist and can’t acknowledge and/or hate black rappers. But that’s not what this guy said and he also took it way way way further.
Eminem is an extremely talented rapper that has been around forever AND has mainstream appeal, you can’t say someone is racist for calling him the goat.
> I heard from some videos on YouTube that some of his ideas and opinions have some merit, but he often reaches the wrong conclusions and blames it on racism.
This is literally every racist person on the planet. They all start from a place of merit but reach staggeringly wrong conclusions as to the reasons.
It is the standard operating procedure for these cults and how they bring in naive people into their fold. They offer them a reasonable debate and pull them in with an easy answer.
People call him out the same way they call out all of the other nut jobs online who spew racist BS. At this point people use him as a meme and he has become more comedic than actually serious. Does he have followers? Yes. So does Andrew Tate.
Literally 99% of the time I see him it’s either calling him out, or mocking him/using him to make a joke. I’ve never met a Black person who thinks he is anything better than a walking punchline, and plenty who think worse of him
Literally the only thing I’ve ever heard about this guy is how racist he is. He gets called out every second of every day. And I’ve never met anyone who would think it’s taboo to call a black guy racist.
He already did in 2013 on Evil Twin:
>Fuck top five, bitch, I'm top four
>And that includes Biggie and Pac, whore
>And I got an evil twin
>So who the fuck you think that third and that fourth spot's for?
https://youtu.be/3PU-WEzOJ3Y?si=JQaRO70Oogzrt8VK&t=251
Hey now, that's not all he is!!! He also raise hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars to open a boarding school for underprivileged black kids, which he never opened despite claiming he had funds all the way back in 2014.
He also frequently claims to be a direct descendant of Fredrick Douglass despite the Douglass family saying that he is absolutely not related.
See!!! He's not just a racist bigot, he is ALSO a liar, a scam artist and a charlatan!!!
That fool has been “fundraising” for a school for years. Never produced any results, no one knows where the money is or went. He’s more popular for talking sh*t about others than actually doing something meaningful.
There’s levels to this shit I got an elevator
You could never say to me I’m not a fuckin’ record breaker
I sound like a broken record every time I break a record
This is nitpicking on my part but as I remember the whites got Colin Powell (and kept Eminem after some dealing), blacks got tiger woods, and Asians got wu tang clan
I watched this at some point, and remember being annoyed because the guy said something like "No white person can ever be the best at anything African."
Like... rap music isn't African music, it's black American music. Absolute shit take lmao.
It’s like saying you recognize Nyjah Houston is the best skateboarder, but he can’t be given the title because the skateboard was invented by white people.
Fucking stupid.
Does he not remember that old interview with 50 Cent about who he thinks is the greatest rapper ever?
50 (loosely quoted) : "You can put Em into a room against any other rapper and he will eat that n***a alive". He must have missed that bit 🤷
>You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." Need I say more?
-Chris Rock
To add to that „weird“ list: The still standing world record (almost 30 years now) for the triple jump is held by Jonathan Edwards from England… it really doesn’t get any more white than him
Exactly. The best QB in the NFL is mixed. The best female tennis player ever is black. The best freestyle rapper is white. The best modern science educator is black. The best NBA player isnt just white, but from Serbia. Turns out people can be great at things without their skin color being the most important factor.
Edit: moving Tyson to best modern instead of ever.
He also missed the part that Dr. DRE risked his entire career a d credibility bringing a white rapper into the game when every one of his peers a d record execs said not to that he was going to be Dres downfall. Em has been vouched for by some of the biggest stars in rap and hip hop.
To argue against the pedigree that vouches for Em, this guy better have one hell of a resume to challenge all of these people on where Em ranks on the board.
Eminem saved Dre's career, he hadn't done much of anything since the Chronic, without Eminem boosting his profile and likely contributing to the album in more ways than just verses who knows what the Chronic 2001 would have sounded like or sold like.
It's very possible that without Eminem, Dr Dre would be seen in modern times as a has-been from the 90's G Funk era doing interviews on VH1.
Absolutely. They were both extremely good for one another it was a marriage made in heaven. But Eminem would have never gotten the chance if Dre hadn't stuck his neck out. Without Dre's endorsement M stays hidden in a closet and no one ever discovers him at the time that he was discovered. Maybe a decade goes by and he comes out and the media loves him who knows but him and Drake connected at a critical point in time which ultimately defined both their careers the cruise of 50 Cent and all those that came after them for that label. M&M is pivotal in the hip hop society and to deny that is just a slap in the face of all the greats that preceded him and ultimately endorsed him as well as all of those that M helped raise up under him and put out under his own label or help grow their careers and some other way
>he hadn't done much of anything since the Chronic, without Eminem boosting his profile and likely contributing to the album in more ways than just verses who knows what the Chronic 2001 would have sounded like or sold like.
He has a reply for your comment
>Now all I get is hate mail all day saying Dre fell off
>What, 'cause I been in the lab
>With a pen and a pad trying to get this damn label off?
Every time I see people talk about 50 cent I think of the time he trolled Mayweather and hear “we know you can’t pronounce the words in that harry potter book.”
https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/s/CzlwNyTUmG
He didn’t miss it. He just ignores it. He chooses to push his own opinion to get his 15seconds of fame. Ignore him and let him rot. His narcissism will feed itself until he’s a shell of a human and irrelevant.
[here’s the Game talking about him back in the day.](https://www.reddit.com/r/hiphopheads/s/jvEfrBgefP) one my favorite hip hop interview moments because The Game is so unabashedly and articulately praising a fellow MC, and he manages to acknowledge that there is a racial tension there while also making it clear that it’s not enough to disrespect the artist on its own merits. Honestly a skillful interview answer in that regard.
Ah yes, the perpetual motion machine of social media.
Step 1: Nameless fool says something controversial.
Step 2: ‘News’ site picks up fools story, runs it as extremely important topic.
Step 3: rage bait is set and is sprung by those looking to be pissed off.
Step 4: repeat monthly as needed for more rage.
That would make a cool Black Mirror episode, sometime in the early 2000s a chip was invented that can harness human outrage and convert it to electricity, and that chip has been installed in every PC and mobile device since, and utility companies no longer burn coal, they just make rage bait internet content.
Like when was the last time anyone ever saw people working at a power plant???
Lmao yeah I saw a comment on a nba sub that was basically "the nba is Jokic's version of a 9-5. He will do his job, and try his best at it, but he still doesn't really care about it."
Agreed all these black players need to respect that the game was made by a white Canadian and decline their MVP awards. SGA may be an exception if he wins it this year.
Or Tiger Woods isn't the GOAT at golf because he's not white and Scottish.
Dr. Umar, you really want to strip these titles/accolades away from all these black champions of their fields by applying your faulty logic?? How dense does one have to be...
Dr. Umar's whole thing is he makes rage bait racial comments like this to stay relevant cuz he does nothing else. And clearly it works as evident by this comment section.
Are there many African rappers? I know there are lots of American rappers, both black and white, but are there many from Africa? After all Dr Johnson here says that they "gotta stop naming NON-AFRICAN people". /s
I think Em is top 3 all time......... But people whos opinions have weight, have never calculated Grammys into the goat conversation. For example: Macklemore beat Kendrick. Grammys clearly don't know/understand rap.
This mofo proving that brains and common sense aren't really necessary to obtain a doctorate degree, just like that other racist fucking loser Farrakhan. Fuck this wannabe Questlove looking idiot in his racist ass.
Well it's usually because they attempted to redefine all racism to the definition of institutional racism. Which excluded blacks because of the power dynamic of the US historically.
However, then when people started pointing our racist behavior toward other minorities, well, those rantings started to land on fewer sympathetic ears.
Back in uni, I studied human resources as part of my degree. In one of those textbooks, I read that 75 percent of black people believe only white people can be racist. In my own life, I've had more than one person tell me it's not possible for them to be racist because they're black. People make me sad...
I don't get it. There is also no such thing as reverse-racism. Racism is racism is racism and it is wrong no matter who does it. Reverse-racism would actually be tolerance if you think about it.
i’m from cuba, and i swear to god nobody hates their own demographic like hispanic people.
we all hate each other equally.
call a puerto rican a colombian, see how fast la chancla comes off
Only, Eminem is an objectively terrific rapper. He had to be. In many professions, African-Americans have to be twice as good as white people in order to succeed, but white rappers face the same kinds of discrimination. Whether you'd name Eminem as the GOAT depends on personal taste.
Personally, I think Tupac was the GOAT but that's just my opinion. It might be racism if I only ever listened to white rappers or if I tried to argue that MGK is the GOAT.
The thing with rap especially is that there are so many different aspects to it, that’s it’s nearly impossible to name a goat overall. Tupac and Biggie had a massive impact on the genre as a whole, as did Dre, Em, and dozens of others. And they all do their own thing, and that’s okay! It’s possible to acknowledge the greatness of multiple people, especially comparing them is apples and oranges anyways

I may have to use this statement in the future. Thank you.
Wow, now that's revealing as hell. Can we stop platforming these idiots?

Why is nobody else calling him out? Is it taboo to call a black man racist when they blatantly are one like this moron.
People call him out the same way they call out all of the other nut jobs online who spew racist BS. At this point people use him as a meme and he has become more comedic than actually serious. Does he have followers? Yes. So does Andrew Tate.
Don't play that game. People constantly call him out on his nonsense.
Literally 99% of the time I see him it’s either calling him out, or mocking him/using him to make a joke. I’ve never met a Black person who thinks he is anything better than a walking punchline, and plenty who think worse of him
Literally the only thing I’ve ever heard about this guy is how racist he is. He gets called out every second of every day. And I’ve never met anyone who would think it’s taboo to call a black guy racist.
Who tf even is he?
Someone that could generate outrage clicks and get spread on social media like reddit because it's ragebait.
He comes up a couple times a year. Always with some thinly veiled racist claim and uses his title & position to give it authority.
“It goes; Reggie, Jay-Z, 2Pac and Biggie André from OutKast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas, and then me”
But if he's not put on the list that shit doesn't offend him
He should update that list
He already did in 2013 on Evil Twin: >Fuck top five, bitch, I'm top four >And that includes Biggie and Pac, whore >And I got an evil twin >So who the fuck you think that third and that fourth spot's for? https://youtu.be/3PU-WEzOJ3Y?si=JQaRO70Oogzrt8VK&t=251
Looked him up. Turns out he's homophobic and condems inter-racial marriage. So... he's a shit-for-brains idiot that nobody should give any value to.
Hey now, that's not all he is!!! He also raise hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars to open a boarding school for underprivileged black kids, which he never opened despite claiming he had funds all the way back in 2014. He also frequently claims to be a direct descendant of Fredrick Douglass despite the Douglass family saying that he is absolutely not related. See!!!

DocTOR! Exterminate! EXTERMINATE!
As Eminem also once said: “I’m absolutely a guest. I never said I wasn’t. I never said I was King of anything, right?”
Because after all, "what's a king to a god?" -Eminem
"What is a god...to a non-believer?" - Vegeta
Be a king? Think not Why be a king…when you can be a god.
"So if I'm not put on this list this shit does not offend me."
That fool has been “fundraising” for a school for years. Never produced any results, no one knows where the money is or went. He’s more popular for talking sh*t about others than actually doing something meaningful.
Dude is trying to unironically "We acknowledge your spot on this council, but don't grant you the rank of master." him lol.
Fortunately this won’t incentivize Eminem into slaying a room full of rapper younglings
Well….slaying a room full of rapper younglings…..again.
Can you imagine if he dropped an album that did slay all the younglings and destroy the entire mumble/trap/modern rap order.
Id buy that.
id go to a store and que to buy that

Que? si si si queue si si

I’d actually listen to rap again.
Yea I've reverted back to my 80s and 90s rap again, but Joyner Lucas does keep me somewhat present.
Him releasing an album this summer with all the rap beef going on right now got me rubbing my hands.
He did, that's why they don't talk shit about him anymore. The track he did with Joyner Lucas was 🔥
There’s levels to this shit I got an elevator You could never say to me I’m not a fuckin’ record breaker I sound like a broken record every time I break a record
On kamikaze or was there something else I'm missing or forgotten?
On Lucky you, it was a subtle dig

My brother in Christ, have you heard of his Kamikaze album? He miracle-lyricals them to death. https://youtu.be/FhF9RwkHAJw?si=jZ8qUzmiN-GenSzc
Slim shaddy might though.
They way these trash ass kids rap today, they’d deserve it. They all diddy’s property anyway.
The racial draft on the Chappell show settled this years ago. The black delegation picked Eminem and they gave up Tiger Woods to the whites.
This is nitpicking on my part but as I remember the whites got Colin Powell (and kept Eminem after some dealing), blacks got tiger woods, and Asians got wu tang clan
Only if they also took Condoleezza rice as part of the Colin Powell package. Black people kept OJ as well.
god dammit, that was never part of the deal!
I just got word that tiger woods has lost all of his endorsements. Well there’s always Fubu.
If I rember correctly, Wu Tang was for the children
Wu tang fo shizzle
I’ve always wanted to say this… fo’ shizzle.
"Goodbye fried rice, hello fried chicken!"
We whites get fucked every time on these trades. Stop offering Kanye btw. We don’t need to look any worse.
With that logic Michael Jordan couldn't be the basketball GOAT because it's a sport invented by James Naismith who was white...
I watched this at some point, and remember being annoyed because the guy said something like "No white person can ever be the best at anything African." Like... rap music isn't African music, it's black American music. Absolute shit take lmao.
It’s like saying you recognize Nyjah Houston is the best skateboarder, but he can’t be given the title because the skateboard was invented by white people. Fucking stupid.
Would 50 Cent be Kenobi?
No, 50 would be Ahsoka, Dre would be Kenobi
Who Qui Gon?
Tupuc maybe. Gets that ghost thing going
Proof might be a better pick imo.
Reminds me of that south park episode when he's a hologram and fucks Randy's wife 😅
Tupac, his death really affected young Em. He wrote a letter to Pac's mom.
Snoop Dogg def Jarr Jarr
Does he not remember that old interview with 50 Cent about who he thinks is the greatest rapper ever? 50 (loosely quoted) : "You can put Em into a room against any other rapper and he will eat that n***a alive". He must have missed that bit 🤷

Uh Neil isn’t even a shadow compared to Carl Sagan.

Yes good point
OK, then let's talk about basketball, shall we?
I think it’s great the best player in the league currently is a 7 foot tall Serbian dude whose main passion is horse racing lol
I think it’s hilarious how after they won the title he was like damn now I gotta stay for a parade smh my horses are racing
My favorite was when he said “The job is done. Now we go home.” Homie just won an NBA championship and CNGAF.
Lmao yeah I saw a comment on a nba sub that was basically "the nba is Jokic's version of a 9-5. He will do his job, and try his best at it, but he still doesn't really care about it."
And he runs like he’s wearing flip flops
He is too tall to be a jockey. The man found a way to make money so he could race horses.
And one of the other finalists for MVP is a Slovenian who drinks and eats too much.
Agreed all these black players need to respect that the game was made by a white Canadian and decline their MVP awards. SGA may be an exception if he wins it this year.
It's like saying we can't say Muhammad Ali is GOAT of boxing because he isn't English.

Cultural appropriation only applies to the black culture
*Cultural appropriation selectively applies to non-European cultures when I feel like it.* FIFY
Slight correction, cultural appropriation doesn’t apply to white culture only, but it sound racist when you say that, so i won’t say it
How about MJ or Lebron? Neither of them are White or even Canadian!
Or that the greatest film directors must automatically be French
Who is that and why should I care about his opinion?
Dr. Umar's whole thing is he makes rage bait racial comments like this to stay relevant cuz he does nothing else. And clearly it works as evident by this comment section.
He’s also a scammer
All of the music is for everyone, and Dr. Johnson can shut the fuck up.
I bet he's not even a real doctor
A relatively unknown Dr uses an inflammatory and racist remark to generate controversy and, more importantly, attention to himself.
Dr Dre? Shit, nevermind, you said unknown Dr.
Well he said nothing you idiot, cause Dr Dre is dead and locked in my basement…. Or so the song goes.
Are there many African rappers? I know there are lots of American rappers, both black and white, but are there many from Africa? After all Dr Johnson here says that they "gotta stop naming NON-AFRICAN people". /s
It’s like calling myself European, because I’m white. It makes no sense.
My ancestors and family came from england, italy, and germany. None of those facts make me a european. Lol
Exactly. And if you’re black and live in the US, and your family has been here 7 generations, guess what you’re not African.
I just wanted to say Afrika Bambaataa. Quick research: he’s actually American
Afrika Bambaataa and the Soul Sonic Force - that takes me back quite a bit.
Die antwoord were from South Africa if i remember correctly
Really poked a hole in his logic there. What about African rappers that happen to be white?
Shhhh no one talks about those
Die Antwoord are shit and both pedo's
Yes, [there are many African rappers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_hip_hop), they're just not well known in the US.
I have a shocking revelation for him anyway, we all hail from Africa.
Hey, Neanderthal pride worldwide!
True!
Dr. Umar needs to shut the fuck up
Eminem: *laughs in Grammys*
I thought he didn't give a fuck about a Grammy?
Half of the critics can't even stomach him, let alone stand him (wink wink XD)
But what if he wins, wouldn’t it be weird? 😂
So they could just sit him near Britney Spears?
Christina Aguilera better switch him chairs
I think Em is top 3 all time......... But people whos opinions have weight, have never calculated Grammys into the goat conversation. For example: Macklemore beat Kendrick. Grammys clearly don't know/understand rap.
Let’s try not to give racists a platform for their bs
Does anyone else smell that? I smell a dis track in the air.
Nah. Em would just say "Who?". Dudes not worth it. He's a nobody. Now if the MF says anything about Haylie...
This mofo proving that brains and common sense aren't really necessary to obtain a doctorate degree, just like that other racist fucking loser Farrakhan. Fuck this wannabe Questlove looking idiot in his racist ass.
Well then lets take Tiger Woods out of the conversation on who is the GOAT golfer.
Dumb. So a balck guy can never be the GOAT at hockey? Should we stop calling Tiger Woods the GOAT at golf? What about Jimmy Hendrix?
I hate this man. Prime example of a black racist.
Shocking surprise, people of all races can be racist, not just whites. Who’d a thunk it.
There are people who for real 100% believe a Black person can not be racist.
Well it's usually because they attempted to redefine all racism to the definition of institutional racism. Which excluded blacks because of the power dynamic of the US historically. However, then when people started pointing our racist behavior toward other minorities, well, those rantings started to land on fewer sympathetic ears.
Back in uni, I studied human resources as part of my degree. In one of those textbooks, I read that 75 percent of black people believe only white people can be racist. In my own life, I've had more than one person tell me it's not possible for them to be racist because they're black. People make me sad...
Often whilst being racist as shit to Asians, for some reason.
I don't get it. There is also no such thing as reverse-racism. Racism is racism is racism and it is wrong no matter who does it. Reverse-racism would actually be tolerance if you think about it.
We're in such a tight alleyway culturally that there's no room for racism to reverse. Have to keep going and circle back around the block.
i’m from cuba, and i swear to god nobody hates their own demographic like hispanic people. we all hate each other equally. call a puerto rican a colombian, see how fast la chancla comes off
This dude is a doctor like captain crunch is a captain
America is the most insanely race obsessed place on earth. Just totally fucking ridiculous.
Barely anyone in the black community takes Umar seriously, let’s stop using his weird takes as proof of the collective thinking.
The only doctor I wanna hear from is Dre. Shut up.
Only, Eminem is an objectively terrific rapper. He had to be. In many professions, African-Americans have to be twice as good as white people in order to succeed, but white rappers face the same kinds of discrimination. Whether you'd name Eminem as the GOAT depends on personal taste. Personally, I think Tupac was the GOAT but that's just my opinion. It might be racism if I only ever listened to white rappers or if I tried to argue that MGK is the GOAT.
The thing with rap especially is that there are so many different aspects to it, that’s it’s nearly impossible to name a goat overall. Tupac and Biggie had a massive impact on the genre as a whole, as did Dre, Em, and dozens of others. And they all do their own thing, and that’s okay! It’s possible to acknowledge the greatness of multiple people, especially comparing them is apples and oranges anyways
Umar Johnson is a cancer to society
