Hey! What do you think I am? A welcome mat? For you to step on? Is that what you think I am? So this... Eminem man... dissed me, in a song that he's in where he's rippity-rip-rap-rapping, r-r-ra-ra-ra-ra-rapping. And uh, someone showed me this song on, on uh, RapGenius.net and uh, Buster Rhymes is on this track too. Uh, it's like a... and, and in this song he says...
Fucking internet bloggers
I sit in front of my computer all day and comment on
Everything, I'm an expert on everything, everything sucks, play the next song
And there's me! There's a picture of me! Listen here Mister 'Nem. You may be a really talented rapper with great records and good songs and lots of fans, who's totally impacted the music industry for the foreseeable future, and you may have good shows and I may have liked your last record too but I feel a total underappreciation here for how hard I work
I have mouths to feed, I have seven children that I have to feed and I wake up every morning and go on YouTube. I comment, I put up videos, I harshly critique new records from upcoming and established artists so that I could feed my children. And I put a lot of work into this, it's not just for my kids. It's not just for my kids, there's a lot of personal investment here. I've got skin in the game. I've got skin in the game
I... I walk uphill every morning, both ways, to there and back home in the snow to the iTunes store. To download your albums, to download Mister Busta Rhymes' albums, to download all the other artist's albums that I review. Just so that I could talk about them in video and then make the video, on my camera, and edit it for hours! And then I get in my car, I drive over to YouTube and then I wait in line behind all the other YouTubers and then I hand my videos to the people over at YouTube and then they put them up on the website. And it's a really arduous process!
And what are you doing? You're just a rippity-rap-rippity-rapping! Meanwhile, I'm driving around like a jackass, putting videos up on YouTube.biz. And you're just putting up... er, you're not even putting your own lyrics on RapGenius.net, you have other people doing that for you. I'm, I'm not... whenever I'm on Rap Genius it's me. I don't have workers, people who... my seven children are in school. I want them to go to school and do better than me. I'm letting them get an education
I'm holding, I'm holding the burden of this business, I don't want my children working in the family business. I want them to go out and get good jobs. *Switches into a rage* You just shitted on all the hard work I do and I don't appreciate it, now, if in your next song you could just say sorry this could all be forgiven and forgotten *drinks water* Okay?
It was a good song though, it was a good song. *drinks water* Alright, um, you know, you—Mister 'Nem you have my phone number. We'll, um, talk. And, uh, yeah, I wish you all the luck in the world with your rippity-raps and, um, you know, uh, continue being successful, alright? Thank you, thank you
