The elderly people in the video give a short critique of Eminem's music. Their response is not too surprising.

Your Thoughts?

    if the only "rap" album you own is The Eminem Show, you're probably a ? ? ... no disrespect...

    I didn't say that's the only rap album he owns, ? ? .

    It makes a difference because my parents who are both black noticed Jay Z tends to use samples from the likes of Issac Hayes and Marvin gaye etc in his music and appreciate having a Rapper having a good ear for old great music of that era.

    I remember when kanye west dropped late registration and song Touch the sky dropped they lovvvvved that song cause it sample Curtis Mayfield "Move on up" .Eminem does not use samples from those type of artist from that era so it definitely makes a difference.

    This ? was funny. I just find it funny how if your ear isn't in tune to the language or vibe of a music you'll totally not get it especially if you're older

    There are early metal/Rock records from the early MTV days where I can't really understand what their screaming

    Some rock person gets every word but I just hear yelling

    They took away some weird ? form Em's music

    so because jayz samples black artists your parents like it? they could easily like rock n roll from that same era in which eminem samples at least twice on his new album, so again the color makes no difference....for the record my father hates that rappers sample music...no matter if it's bizzerk or the pras song from back in the day

    It actually makes a big difference.... If a white person says they hate rap with a passion but they love eminem - that's just your average eminem fan. But if your pops is black he needs to be dissected and studied in order to further understand his affliction so that one day there might be a cure for coonism.

    this ignorant kind of stuff is what brings this place down

    Please tell us more. Is that the only rap album he owns? Where are his parents from? Were they house slaves?

    He owns Encore. His parents are from Jamaica. His parents definitely weren't house slaves.

    Very unique situation, I think.
