Comedian Aries Spears commented on the perception of White rappers within the Black community. Spears stated that the Black community hasn't widely embraced many White rappers, barring a few including Eminem, whom he includes in his top five rappers. Eminem, according to Spears, has the unique quality of staying power and impact for a White rapper. Despite acknowledging the talent and popularity of artists like Jack Harlow, Spears asserts that Black audiences don't view him as a true MC. The comedian delved further into the conversation, suggesting that the authenticity towards the culture, as depicted by their rap behavior, is the differentiating factor for artists like Eminem and MC Serch. The clip also touched upon the importance of dissing within the rap culture, similar to comedy, and how Eminem often targeted other White rappers.
