Dr. Umar Johnson says it’s impossible for Eminem to be a G.O.A.T. rapper because he’s white.
Dr. Umar was a guest on The Joe Budden Podcast, where he said:
“This is going to my African fundamentalism. No non-African can ever be the best of anything African. It is an insult to the ancestors, it is an insult to the race and it is an insult to every Black person,” he said.
Dr. Umar says Eminem is not one of greatest rappers of all time because he's not African.

“We gotta stop naming non-African people as being the best of any aspect of our cultural power because it is an insult. I can acknowledge Eminem’s talent. But for you to put him at the top, that’s white supremacy,” he added.
Dr. Umar says he doesn’t see the Detroit rapper building any schools or hospitals.
Eminem is often regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time. The label has sparked criticism from a few other rappers, including Lord Jamar, Benzino, The Game, Melle Mel and Machine Gun Kelly.
