Exclusive: Lord Jamar also says he considers Macklemore Pop, not Hip Hop.

Lord Jamar, who in September said that White rappers are guests in Hip Hop, has a list of parameters of what White rappers should be able to rap about.

"Pretty much anything they want, besides a few things, like say the word ‘nigga,’” Lord Jamar says in an exclusive interview with HipHopDX. "Fuckin' promoting racism against Black people. I don't think they should be able to do that. And I don't think they should be able to promote, you know, homosexuality, to name a few things. But at the same time I don't want Black people doing that, either.”

Lord Jamar has long been vocal about the value of informed dialog among Black people, in particular. On the first verse of Brand Nubian’s 1990 song “Drop The Bomb,” for instance, Lord Jamar rapped, “Lord Jamar makes a difference / I have no tolerance for Black ignorance."

“See what I’m saying?” Lord Jamar says in his exclusive interview with HipHopDX. "I don't want Black people doing that, either. So, it's not just confined just to White people. I don't want Black people coming in promoting gay shit. See what I'm sayin'? I don't want nobody doing it. But the fact that you're White, to me, and knowing that you're a guest and you're just doing that because you know the climate that we're in right now and you'll get a nice pat on your back for doing some shit like that right now in this atmosphere that society is in. You know, it's a real calculated move. It's a real opportunist move. You know what I mean? And I'm just saying don't use our genre for that opportunity. You know, we've already kind of forfeited Rock And Roll. So go make a Rock song. You don't see nobody in Rock promoting that shit, but you're gonna use Hip Hop. You don’t see nobody in Country doing it. No other genre of music, but in Hip Hop, you got niggas wearing skirts and you know, we got songs like 'Same Love,' even though I don't even consider Macklemore Hip Hop. He's like Pop. He's Pop. Like, you don't go to no hoods and hear Macklemore. Let's keep it real."

In November, Lord Jamar also discussed Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ “Same Love.” "I don’t think he cares about gays one way or the other, but he knew that would be a great way to get attention and a great way to blow up,” Lord Jamar said at the time.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ “Same Love” single enjoyed a sales boost of 350% the week following the Grammys compared to the week before the broadcast of the annual award show, according to Nielsen SoundScan data. The Grammys were broadcast January 26.

“Same Love” sold 51,000 units the week ending February 2, which is the sales week following the Grammy broadcast. During the Grammys, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis were joined by Madonna and Queen Latifah in a performance of "Same Love,” which has sold more than 2.4 million digital songs, according to Nielsen SoundScan data.

He's been beyond ridiculous... many important rappers disagreed with his previous claims but he keeps doing this shit.

[Francesco]

Also, anyone find it funny how he's kind of promoting equal rights (albeit loosely) while contradicting it by saying white people are "guests" in hip-hop ? Lmao wow

He's been confused about all that from scratch... I admit he's got some headlines & all that but I generally think he made a fool of himself & lost his & partially Brand Nubian's reputation as well.

[Francesco]

unfortunately there's people in this world who think like this.

You know hot those kinda things work... He's gonna talk shit like that for a while & when he turns into a total jackass & nobody wanna hear that anymore he's gonna change the channel & is gonna start saying he meant something else.
It's that Benzino publicity stunt formula all over again.

WHY DO YOU PPL STILL POST ABOUT THIS GUY??

WHY DO YOU PPL STILL POST ABOUT THIS GUY??

So we can make fun of him and feel that much better about ourselves.

[Francesco]

Simply because there are always positive & negative things that could catch people's attention... I totally disagree with everything he's sad for the last couple of months or whatever but I could still check the news & give my opinion on whatever.

Not a fan of The Heist but Macklemore could rap circles around this retard.

He is far too concerned with the wrong things. He sounds incredibly ignorant with these stupid interviews. Does he know how dumb he sounds? "Promoting gay shit" lol I never even hear that song anymore. That shit got old quick, this guy is late to the hate party.

[EminemBase]

Somebody should list things Lord Jamar shouldn't talk about.

Here, I'll do it:

1. Everything.

Because he's a fucking idiot. /thread.

I wonder if he thinks BET and the MOBO Awards are racist too? If not; major contradiction alert.

What a complete retard.
