John Salley shared his thoughts on controversial comments made by Dr. Umar Johnson regarding rapper Eminem. Johnson had suggested that Eminem couldn't be considered one of the greatest rappers because he's not Black. Salley, a self-professed hip-hop fan, disagreed with Johnson on this point, stating that he believes Eminem deserves to be part of the conversation for the greatest rapper of all time regardless of his race. Salley noted that while he respects and appreciates some of Dr. Umar's viewpoints, he fundamentally disagrees with any discrimination based on color. The discussion evolved into a broader conversation about music, sports, and culture, with Salley referencing other notable artists and sports figures and his own experiences playing in the NBA.
