    Eminem, Jay Z, and Ludacris are carrying hip hop on their backs. Yall dudes hatin on EM gonna realize once he’s gone a lot of things, for hip hops sake, are gonna change. Goin number 1 on the billboard is hard enough and to debut number 1 is ridiculous!

  15. Da Business says:

    Even if u hate Em, what he’s doing for hip hop is needed. Props to Em, keep doing u. As long as u stay off that MTV shit and continue to make REAL hip hop music, u won’t lose.

  16. NuJEW says:

  17. Coroner says:

    Ps. Too much hate about the colour. What if u had born white? U blind people, for real.

  23. Ac@pella! says:

  24. 7v5a7 says:
