Imagine if a white person created a new genre of music tomorrow. And white people said ''no black people allowed.'' That's how you need to think about this. It's just racist and that's it.
Or Imagine saying that black people can't use iPhones because white people invented iPhone SMH. These discussions are toxic and divisive as hell. Give credit where it's due and that's it. Also. wtf is this Mouse saying "No amount of work will validate white people judging black people". So black people can't judge me? get the hell out of here man...he is a racist gatekeeper and ignorant. Why these people give him platform to spread racism? It's the same rhetoric that KKK people use against black people. MC Search points thing that is still true to the European scene of Hip-Hop. In Europe we still celebrate breakdancing, DJing, graffity and rap. 4 elements ofhip-hop culture are still here but these gatekeepers in USA forgot about them and they try to put other people down. Edit 4: Stevie points important thing - these young guys tries to be the owners of the culture when old heads are super welcoming and inclusive. It's stupid how these young cats are acting. With that attitude hip-hop would be back in the trenches, not the biggest culture in teh world with most popular music genres out there with RnB and Rap

@@qwerty1234234 to say "stop talking about race" is not to say ignore it. Rather, accept that we are all the same. When you focus your attention and effort onto something, it grows. To say a group's experience makes them different, effectively makes them different which sows division. The current climate of anti-racisim has become racist. I'm not sure if you even watched the video your commenting on or read the title for that matter.

@@nutafari5445 I'm hoping you meant that in the way I think you meant to say it...I couldn't agree more. I have no right to speak on what any black person goes through, or how they should feel towards whites, I have no clue what I'd think given the circumstances. As a caucasian, I would just like to say that there is a huge amount of us who are appalled and confused by the actions of others who look like us, and the thought we would be tied in with them or their ideology, in any capacity, makes us sick to our stomachs. Racism begins at home. It is taught. You aren't born a racist. All I know is I brought 3 white males and 3 white females into this world and I broke that cycle, and sleep well knowing that it won't even be thinkable for my grandkids to be racist, because their parents were raised in a house where it isn't tolerated and they dont hold prejudice in their hearts. Sorry for the length. Just been really odd the past few years especially..I'm not one of those "I'm not racist l, have X amount of black friends" white people..my best friend happens to be black and his black son happens to be my white sons best friend, and when he says shit to me like "I'm afraid my sons might get pulled over and killed for no reason" it breaks my fucking heart, because I cant relate but understand.
Almost every single person who have been trying to erase Eminem from Hip Hop are connected in some way to Diddy; Mouse is Diddy's cousin, The Breakfast Club (DJ Envy, Charlamagne) and Drink Champs (NORE) are both under Revolt which is owned by Diddy. The ridiculous topics being pushed aren't coming from the culture of Hip Hop, they're coming from Diddy.
Yea, this is the first video I have seen from this channel. This guy seems cool but I can't even watch this. I will still sub and check out another video.
Hats off to MC for keeping his composure when dealing with such a level of ignorance. Like you said though Ste in one ear, out the other. Mouse is there purely to react, nothing more.
That's what Crook saw coming, this will show how racist some black people are and how much hate there is towards white rappers. It's really gonna pull the blinds on what Eminem has really been up against.
I'm Australian and because of Eminem I got I fell in love with hip hop... I didn't realise black Americans were so racist, I loved Snoop as a kid and this is devastating to know that the whole time so many artists that I loved felt some way about people because they had the same skin colour as me
@@mitchellwebb1032 but that's the argument tho from these black folks. International fans are discovering hip hop bcuz of Eminem and to them it's "why is Eminem the face of hip hop. Why r ppl discovering through him?"
Mouse is related to Diddy. Everyone that's against Em right now all leads back to Diddy. Charlamagne, MGK, Joe budden etc. Em has been throwing shots at Diddy for a while now since killshot coz he gave MGK the go ahead to diss him. On side B he randomly says "I'm diddy's side bitch". He's referring to them. Remember after killshot came out Diddy said "I'll handle Eminem". Guess this is what he meant coz he's powerful in hip hop media. 🤷🏻♀️ Also just saw that Diddy follows Lil Pump. Interesting 🤔
😂Eminem has been poking at Diddy his entire career. Never gets old. I still love that line "sprayed Puffy with Mase." He has other unreleased tracks in his early days poking at that fool.
You have become one of my favorite youtubers. I appreciate what you do. You help bring people together and see things for what they are. You are a light to the world and I have a great deal of respect for who you are and what you stand for. Thank you!

“When I say hip-hoppers, I mean black, white, Asian, Latino, Chicano, everybody. Everybody. Hip-hop has united all races. Hip-hop has formed a platform for all people, religions, and occupations to meet on something. We all have a platform to meet on now, due to hip-hop. That, to me, is beyond music. That is just a brilliant, brilliant thing.” -- KRS-One There is only 1 race. The human race and it should play no role in no discussion. Damn can we not all live in peace, side by side. Nah that ain't possible and will never be possible because of ignorant people. Ignorant to the beauty that lies in each one of us.

@@lyricsanonymous9036 what does that have to do with it? He’s saying, he wants hip pop to be a purely black genre, logically that means that anything to do with none black culture should not be in hip pop, so as English is from a “white” culture, that can’t be included in hip pop.
Watching your reaction is like talking with one of my homies. I appreciate that your don’t use gimmicks. I appreciate that you aren’t a wanna be rapper who over analyze everything about production, instruments used, and cadence. Most of all, I appreciate that you are open minded about music that you haven’t previous rocked with. You put me on to Em and NF. I never rocked with Em because I didn’t take the time to listen to him until your breakdowns. As for this video, there are a lot of ignorant folks out here of all races. It’s unfortunate that we have these individuals causing divides during a time when we should be unifying as a nation. However, this is the culture that we live in. Those who scream the dumbest shit the loudest gets the attention of individuals who can’t formulate reasonable thoughts for themselves. Shout out to you for sharing your thoughts on your reactions without feeling the need to tear down artist. I’ve been following this Snoop/Em issue closely. I agree with KXNG Crooked. This foolishness is just the beginning of more ignorance. These past four years Trump empowered “some” White people to openly display racist ideology. It appears that 2021 will expose the racist in the Black camp as well. Regardless of your affiliation, Everyone Against Racism. Stevie your the GOAT for the reactions bro.
I can't say I followed the Snoop/Eminem thing and one of the biggest Eminem fans you'll ever meet anywhere. That being said, it's exactly why I don't give any validity to the whole "Eminem Dissed Snoop" because he didn't. It's just a ton of people online who heard it and ran with it because it would get them views, and then we come back round full circle from where we left off with Revival. He dropped Kamikaze and the song "Fall" and addressed all this online platform BS that gets started off one line being taken out of context for views and exposure at the expense of hard working artists.
As a white woman who loves hip hop I have made so many friends through the love of this music. All races and creeds, and none of them had hostility. They were so excited to have more people respect and love the culture since it has exploded into such an incredible phenomenon. Loved the reaction and I agree with you 1000000%

@@damiontaylor9777 If there were no white-owned record companies allowing the first hip hop artists to get on the radio, willing to promote them, and giving them the platform to perform hip hop would still be something people did on the corner for fun. Nobody ever wants to talk about the fact that a white guy was the first one to recognize the talent and potential to give hip hop a chance in the first place. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it wasn't Berry Gordy who was the first to go out and sign a hip hop artist?
First off, and this might take a while so first-and-foremost Mr. Steve Knight hats off to you for breaking down this video. You didn't have to do it, but your efforts have not gone unnoticed.
They should put in their contract "Don't sell albums to white people". They ain't worried about where the green comes from. I skipped high-school the day Doggystyle got released because we all bumped that. 90's rap blew up because white people bought into it. This is ridiculous.
Yep! When hip-hop got deep into the suburbs with the Beastie Boys, EVERY hip-hop artists record sales went up. It's not like the kids in the suburbs just wanted to listen to white rappers, that's dumb. They were introduced to a style of music they never understood and, once they understood it with the Beastie Boys, they wanted more from anybody. I knew a couple of guys in high school who were just into heavy metal only and used to fuck with me for listening to rap. I got lucky and got a copy of License to Ill the day before it's supposed to come out. I was listening to it with them and they could recognize the Led Zeppelin samples and, for the first time, they actually paid attention to the songs and liked it. I kept showing them different stuff and, over the course of the next couple of years, those two dudes ended up being two of the biggest Boogie Down Productions fans I've ever known. When I met them they literally look like they were in the band Metallica. A couple years later they were asking me if I'd heard the new Just-Ice. Record companies fuck up and water down music genre, not fans.
Idk if you read my comment but in 93 when "The Chronic" was released is when I started listening to and buying hip hop music. It changed my life and my views on people and the world I might not at that time been made aware to otherwise! The fact it started as black music will never change but I am grateful for being introduced to those beats in the 90's!! Sam Goody or Strawberry's was the place I got my "doggystyle" tape oh and Ice cube's "ghetto bird" single(ahh singles)
I think a lot of it stems from the "cleanness" of the sound of a lot of white rappers. While Macklemore and iggy get accused of cultural appropriation (deservedly, in many cases), it's hard to find anyone who who acuse Atmosphere or El-P of the same thing. White rappers like these carve out their own sound in the genre, and may or may not be commercially successful for it, but due to the individual character of their sound they can't be accused of appropriation in the same way. This is almost mandatory for white rappers, since rap started as a literal voice for economically disadvantaged black and urban youth. Rap has largely expanded to be inclusive of everyone, but it's in poor taste to take the sound of others and "whitewash" it down.
@@jalennelson6821 the mere concept of appropriation is nonsense, since the beginning of time cultures have learned from each other and adapted forms and norms that benefited them, even suggesting that cultural appropriation is somehow wrong, makes me think that even though humans are the smartest living being on earth we are still way too stupid. the only way cultural appropriation would be wrong is when it would only be used to be malicious mocking, but then again it wouldnt be an appropriation anymore.. so there you go.

@@lyricsanonymous9036 No is the simple answer but let me elaborate. Like assholes there are racists of any skin color so lets just skip over that part, how could there be systemic racism towards minorities when there are so many programs to help you out, and how is that oppressive? In what way do minorities have it harder? we all have the same rights and opportunities and we all have to work for it to get somewhere! The white privilege argument is just ignorant and stupid, also racist if you think about it. Where we'll end up all comes down to what choices and decisions we make and from where we start out, has nothing to do with melanin production in our bodies. By the way, you never did answer my first question.
@@E33Tpro I definitely answered your first question, and I'm not a minority...Im white, but I'm not blind to the fact that there is systematic racism and white privilege. No one is saying white people have it easy, but there are challenges minorities face that we don't have to. It's sad that you can't even acknowledge that, and part of the reason why they both continue. Peace out
This logic is flawed. Black MC's shouldn't speak of their guns and rides cuz they were engineered by Caucasians if you prescribe to this delusional BS...and whats he bitchn on the internet for,thats a white contribution to society ...this shit goes nowhere fast
Without commercialization to the “white” audience, hip hop would not exist today. No record company can survive on an audience that is a fraction of less than 10% of the population. If Run DMC did not do that collaboration with Aerosmith on an old ass song of theirs, which run dmc wasn’t even listening to, hip hop might not have lasted as long as grunge music or disco. I don’t see these hip hop artists telling white people to stop buying and streaming their music because it is not for them. If it wasn’t for the beastie boys making rap music commercially appealing on mtv, a lot of rap artists never get signed. Hip hop owes a debt of gratitude to Rick Rubin.

His biggest mistake was thinking he could align himself with black people. He would have been better off telling mouse : "I had the cosign 35 years ago from the forefathers. Who are you?" Then just let dude bury himself.
The absolute hilarious irony of these dudes lecturing about the struggle they had to go through while also arguing that certain people _do not belong_ solely because of the colour of their skin.
That's crazy! Underground hip hop is where it's at. I'm Mexican and have never felt outta place in the culture. It's always been about unity, at least where I'm from, Black, White, Mexican, Asian, Middle Eastern it never mattered. Music brings like minded people together.

Stevie thank you. For 39ish minutes I was angered by what I was hearing but when you started talking sense toward the end it made me feel hopeful. You're right when you say we have a lot of work to do, but this recording shows how damn near impossible it is to have a conversation about anything these days - not just race - anything. Everyone is too worried about having to prove the other person wrong and is so focused on what they want to say, they don't even listen. I wish I knew the answer. Hell, I wish anyone knew the answer.
@@Jiggle_physics19 Maybe because the white racists have learned to hide their racism better because it's not socially accepted (correctly so!).

As a guy who is born in a country with only white and asian people, and never heard anyone talking about race, privilage etc social media is blowing my mind more and more every day. All im seeing on tiktok and twitter is black people being EXTREMLY racist towards white people and fighting for equality at the same time. Last thing i saw that made me so mad was a clip on twitter of two young black girls (were like 6/7 yo) using omegle and got a random white dude on call. Both of them started shouting fuk yo momma cracker at the same time.And all the comments were supporting them. "yaas queens", "thought them good" etc. And white people on the other side are being attacked fro fuking tanning outside cus ?!?!?!? Idk what to tell you. But yall in US are close to race war.
As a proud black man this shit pissed me right off!! I literally can’t believe how they were shutting the dude down and minimising his experiences etc..
Thank you Brother!! You explained exactly what I was thinking when he said that at 12:00. That is super racism and saying no one but black people have a right to make songs in the hip hop industry!! You hit it on the point my dude!!
Shout out to MC Serch, 3rd Bass were big in hip hop way before Eminem. Colour is a problem if you make it a problem. F Mouse Jones, he don't speak for this black man.
this was hard to listen to bro... and honestly, it's scary cause I'm sure this racist dude shares the same mentality as many other ppl out there. What the hell happened to us as a society man?! My GOODNESS! Identity politics have taken over.
People have been warning for years (Jordan Peterson) about the toxicity of identity politics and just got called white supremacists etc and now we have critical race theory to contend with 🤦🏻
Stevie.. If you haven't heard Eminem's skit on Royce's album, The Allegory, please listen to it. It pretty much encapsulates how people like him and MC Serch feel. It's called "Perspective".
The ending is the best part of it. Regardless of perspectives we can't change where we come from nor heritages, so all come comes down to what we do with what we have to make society better.
Its crazy all they were doing was shutting down his freedom of speech and trying to pick apart his thoughts and contradict Search. Racism is still here and some people dont notice or dont care they carry that torch. Its painful.
Appreciate the post. Definitely a different perspective. Sad that some people actually are that ignorant. Skin color has little to do with creativity. And if educated they might catch on to the imitation being the highest form of flattery concept rather than thinking something is being taken from them personally.
As a Romanian , Hip Hop has been a HUGE part of my and many other kids lives here , its what helped a generation to rise and develop unique characters after a revolution and a very difficult period for our country . Hip Hop helped us to make fun of the fact that we are poor unlucky bastards , sitting all together near a grey block of apartments all sharing the same bottle of cheap juice spittin out bars thoughts and ideas , dreams hopes and passions . The smart and experienced literally lecturing us kids about life and society thru their raps/poems , teaching us more than school would on many subjects , talking about money , hypocrisy , love , racism , jobs , truth , lies , understanding , good and bad days , addiction , drugs , family ,friends and everything else under the stars .. It quite literally lifted the consciousness of SO MANY lost kids ...and growing up like this i can tell you one thing for sure ... i dont love Hip Hop , i AM Hip Hop ! Im just a big of a part of this culture as any other person out there that can relate to this . Hip Hop is for the people , by the people , and thats all of us .. skin color doesnt matter . End of story.

Thinking nobody else should be allowed in hip hop goes 1000% against what equality is so if that’s really the way you think then you must not support equality as a concept alone which is beyond ignorant, that or you’re just thinking it’s okay to live life in a double standard. Believe me I know minorities aren’t treated the best a lot of the time and it’s awful what so many people have had to go through, but if you really think it’s a great idea to turn around and think it’s okay to hypothetically successfully gatekeep everyone else outta hip hop and pretty much intentionally make an enemy outta everyone that isn’t black, then that’d just be causing an extra level of segregation and discrimination both ways...

Unfortunately, I've seen this kind of stuff fairly often over the years, always made me hesitant to try to write any rap lyrics when I was younger, up until the past year when I had some serious shit to work out in my head, because I never saw a realistic possibility of being accepted by a large portion of people, I didn't see a point, now that I turned to writing lyrics as an outlet for myself, I feel it is indeed *in* me. I've grown and become more comfortable with myself, so fuck it I'ma see how good I get and see where it takes me. Man this is tough to watch, this guy is actually asking for less understanding with each other, draw a line and see this is ours, this ain't yours, is asking for MORE LINES TO BE DRAWN by both sides, which just ends in more division and hatred, draw a line in the sand I draw one too, you draw another, I draw another, by the time it's done we're at each throats about the fucking lines themselves, MORE DIVISION IS NOT A GOOD THING!!!!!!!! Like you were kind of saying imitation is the highest form of flattery, if people want to be a part of it, that's something in itself...to push people away is to do it out of some degree of spite, there's so many people like me that never played a part in that history, that grew up on the culture like MC Serch, we're all ignorant (every single one of us, yes including me) but there's plenty of us trying to learn and understand and not ignore it anymore, we've all been lied to from birth, taught so much bullshit, indoctrinated to a very high degree, it's not something to easily break away from. If equality is the goal, how else can we hope to do it except through trying to understand one another? Not all families teach these things in the home (hell some of them reinforce the racism and ignorance, whether directly or indirectly), so a lot of us don't learn until we do our own research, something has to spark that interest, like someone to understand that we are all ignorant and explain to us at least a little (like you Stevie), I had a few people in my life that taught me to question things more and think for myself...so I feel I learned some, not all, but I learned some, and I keep trying to learn more, but to automatically close off any semblance of understanding because of someone's skin color...is racist, doesn't matter what color it is directed at. Awesome video man, really love your takes
"The first thing we need to get people to respect us is to see that they aren't us," correct me if I'm wrong, but the key to gaining someone's respect/acceptance is by pointing out similarities not differences? The key to ending racism is showing racist people that individuals of a different race are still people. That is sameness not difference.
Yea, pointing out differences like that only creates division and encourages the ”Us vs them” thing. It’s really harmful. We should be looking for unity and trying to come together as one
Just wanna let you know Ive learnedly so much about rap, hip hop and the whole scene. Always listened to a few artists here and there but never gave it alot a of thought. Found a whole new appreciation for it from these break down videos. Just wanted to say thanks.
Mouse’s entire argument, no matter what anyone says to him, is “I’m black you can’t tell me shit about Hip Hop”. I get it, it’s a black culture but this dude Mouse can not understand anyone’s point because of the hate in his heart to anyone outside of what he sees Hip Hop as. Everyone can have their opinion but listening to him talk sometimes makes my blood boil.
I think it makes more sense when you understand that they are thinking a lot further back. When you include the BLACK history? No one can backtalk. (Sadly)
and since when just being black makes you Hip Hop ??? Hip Hop is how you live, how you translate the world, how you stand and breathe. It's Peace Love Unity Fun Truth Respect Knowledge. And as far as I'm concerned none of the above is the case with guys like that.
I have the same feeling about that Mouse person like I have on Benzino. These last couple weeks I seen Benzino hostile like demanding respect but at the same time dissrespecting everybody who doesn't got the same taste as him
How do people not understand they are arguing in favor of segregation? In a nutshell, the argument is essentially "We want equality, but have our own space."
@@Helluvabutl3r That's not what he's saying smh, people back then literally cried for help back in the days bc of the opression, this mouse guy is just being racist to be racist.
@@wedontagelikemilktho.6633 nah bro I know, I’m just stating a fact that mouse is a racist. Lol it’s sad that that’s how it is still in this day and age. Think i meant to reply to the OP. But yeah, separate but equal was what they said back then, and we all know that isn’t equal. My point is that oppression doesn’t end by becoming the oppressors. We all gotta shut that shit down when we see it, and I see that as a responsibility we hold to generations of the future. It’s really disheartening that no one, except for the guy they kicked out stood up against it
I'll amend a quote I saw from @WisdoMango. "Hating people because of things they cannot change is wrong. And it doesn't matter who or what you are doing the hating. Its just plain wrong." M. Ali - Fixed by Xen.
That is because the same system that had him killed, along with Malcolm X, JFK, RFK, etc, are keeping the Black people down by brainwashing them to keep them segregated.
@@grjmassacre4886 How am I dense? We don't have special channels , months, stores, clothing or music for Asians, Arabs, Native Americans etc like we do for Black people. You don't see the Hispanics or Chinese going out there and causing riots and shit.
Nothing like being racist and grouping an entire race of people together as one. He’s a damn racist fool. Imagine someone on a show saying “all black people this and all black people that.”
The divide is getting stronger. If you are a part of that culture you should know where it comes from. And If you are also apart of “American” culture you should know where it comes from, ppl r forgetting our past mistakes and they r happening all over again my g 🤦🏾♂️. We’ve been through all this before.
@@esayascohn7019 honestly I don’t it’s actually causing more divide it just that a platform gives the illusion of a mass understanding. I believe this shit is mostly in a minority the youth I believe actually engage inter racially more than any other generation.
My respect for Stevie after this video went through the roof. " Hip Hop has no race anymore, as long as people can acknowledge where it come from. It doesn't matter". Thanks for saying that man, cause rap - specifically Eminem songs and a certain B.O.B song has helped me through some tough times and I stand up for this culture. I'm from India, I learned about the history of hip hop eventually because I was first introduced to rap through Eminem, (same is the case for a Majority of other people who were introduced to rap in this side of the world) and I mean no disrespect to black culture or their relevance in hip hop by that; but for that very reason, when I hear Eminem doesn't belong in the culture, it sounds very disrespectful. Stevie thanks for being so open and courageous with your views, it's not often one feels welcome and you have made me feel welcome. So thank you again.
Doesnt he get, hip hop is a melting pot, asian, black, brown, white, and every single color inbetween, its open for anyone with the level of talent to bring it...
And he never made a legit contribution to the culture and is questioning the validity of proven pioneers, anyone who falls for this is bottom of the barrel when it comes to intellect
Haven't heard anything so divided ever. Appreciation of hip hop is appreciation of hip hop. Color , gender, political views, life experience is irrelevant. From what I appreciate from hip hop is utilizing an art form to express your life, struggles and bring attention to real topics that affect every day life. Only a true hip hop artist does that with poetry which who most people put up as the greats. Jay , em , biggie, pac , nwa etc
1a: metrical writing : VERSE b: the productions of a poet : POEMS 2: writing that formulates a concentrated imaginative awareness of experience in language chosen and arranged to create a specific emotional response through meaning, sound, and rhythm 3a: something likened to poetry especially in beauty of expression b: poetic quality or aspect the poetry of dance
That's webster's definition of poetry....now subjectively jay, em, biggie and nwa may not be your style of poetry which is understood however....poetry
Nas is a poet tho Freedom or jail, clip's inserted, a baby's being born Same time a man is murdered, the beginning and end As far as rap go, it's only natural I explain My plateau, and also, what defines my name -Nas
You are the best “reactioner” on RU-vid. You’re so damn intelligent and honest. I love how willing you are to see the world on a grander scale. I’ve been watching your stinkin Eminem reactions all weekend…got down a rabbit 🐇 hole
