Brand Nubian rapper Lord Jamar shared his thoughts on Miley Cyrus' new image, claiming that she's trying to be "the white Rihanna," from her short hair to her sound. He adds that Miley's "whiteness" will propel her fame even further and make her more popular.
Lord Jamar then comments on Eminem being a "guest in the house of hip hop," but says that he respects his lyricism and music. He adds to the argument by talking about white rappers in history getting bigger by having co-signs from non-white rappers, naming off Beastie Boys, Vanilla Ice, and Macklemore, whom he says may be the first white rapper to get by without a co-sign.
