I feel like I may be getting a bit off topic here, but these culture vultures are something else. Even culture vultures who we see as so-called "family."
Take Eminem for example. Having talent or skill does not make anyone any less of an asshole. If Kanye West can be called out, so can Marshall Mathers.
Let's not forget about how Eminem maliciously and very, very passive aggressively disrespected and mocked Michael Jackson in his "Just Lose It" music video back in 2004. The song mocked and accused MJ of violating children. The video was even worse. From puking on him, mocking his hair getting set on fire (which actually happened), mocking his nose and plastic surgery (due to personal/medical issues), and implying that he is guilty of violating to children is just...
And still, Black rap fans gave Eminem a pass for this because he is a "rap god."
They threw the Black director of the video, Philip Atwell, under the bus never to be seen or heard of again while Eminem got away with it unscathed.
And between 9:00 and 9:40 of this interview, Eminem completely downplayed the disrespect toward MJ in his video as he tried to play phony, nice, humble guy and claimed that he loves MJ and that he's a legend.

MICHAEL JACKSON was devastated when Eminem cruelly mocked him in the "demeaning and outrageous" music video to his hit song, Just Lose It, which was filled with "cruel and mocking" images and references to the star's personal life. After trying first to have it banned, years later, Jackson got...

Meanwhile, 1-2 year(s) prior to the release of the defamatory "Just Lose It" music video, Eminem and his team was ironically frightened that Weird Al Yankovic's song "Couch Potato" (parody of "Lose Yourself" by Eminem) and the music video for it would damage Eminem's career and image.
So they legally blocked Weird Al from making the music video and successfully demanded Weird Al to not release the project. So it's wrong for Michael Jackson to care about his career and his image because "it's just a joke, it's normal to diss people in hip hop and nobody is off limits", yet it's okay for Eminem, who made a career from battle rap and shock rap, and dissing people, to attack other people's image as he protects his own career and image by any means necessary.
"
"Couch Potato" was originally going to be the lead single of Poodle Hat, but due to Eminem's concern that it might hurt his career, its commercial release was cancelled. "Couch Potato" has never been released as a promo, nor a commercial single. It is only available on the Poodle Hat CD, or as a digital download on the internet.
Yankovic intended to make a music video for the song, but the plan was scrapped at the last minute when Eminem denied him permission make a video, expressing concerns that it might disparage his image.[1] According to Yankovic, the video would have included a "patchwork quilt" pastiche of scenes from other Eminem videos.[2]
Yankovic told the Chicago Sun-Times in 2004, "Last year, Eminem forced me to halt production on the video for my 'Lose Yourself' parody because he somehow thought that it would be harmful to his image or career."[1]
Yankovic mocked the situation on his Al TV special where he staged a mock interview with the rapper using footage from a real Eminem interview on MTV News. Eminem said "I believe in...artistic expression." Al countered with "So you think, for example if somebody wanted to do, oh, I don't know, a parody of somebody else's video, they should be able to...artistically express themselves and just do it?" Eminem was shown at a loss for words.
Also in the mock interview, Al simply played the first verse on a boombox while sitting in a chair, reading a newspaper until Eminem eventually turned it off.
Eminem references the interview in his book The Way I Am, saying that "Weird Al" took some jabs at him. He said he thinks Yankovic is funny, and thought the "interview" was funny. [page needed]" en.m.wikipedia.org
View: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0QOya9-lwQk Eminem was hyped up and brought up by the Black underground rap scene in Detroit, Dr. Dre, etc. This is what happens when Black people invite strangers to our house only for them to spit in our faces or our family member's face while doing the Dougie and acting like they didn't just spit in our faces as you laugh and continue to engage with the uncivilzed animal.
Eminem is a white privileged, lowkey racist culture vulture (like Michael Rapaport) and a cowardly hypocrite. He can throw punches and mock at lame rappers, pop stars, literal clowns, critics, and skilled underground rappers with no real fanbase, but Eminem can't eat those same punches or deal with any real valid criticism or mockery.
The irony.
The sheer caucasity, doublespeak and two-faced act of it all.
