Or, Guess Who's Not Black? The new Culture Gabfest on Slate talks about Eminem's new album... and they raise an interesting point. Part of the fun of the rap scene is listening to rappers diss each other (Jay-Z vs Naz, etc etc). Eminem, being a white dude, is too scared/timid/white to diss the (black) rappers who diss him, so he saves his dissing for easy targets like Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and so on. Which is about as brave as... erm... shouting rude words at fish in a barrel.
