Brand Nubian emcee Lord Jamar says he has separated rap and hip hop into two different categories. He considers rap to be for the rich and gay friendly, while hip hop speaks for those still in the struggle.
He also feels like whites are only guests in the culture. While acknowledging Macklemore's talent, Jamar singles the Seattle rapper out for pushing the gay agenda with songs like "Same Love" when he shouldn't be.
"White rappers you're coming to this almost as a guest. As a matter of fact you are guests in the house of hip hop," Jamar told Vlad TV. "Just because you have a hit record doesn't give you the right as I feel to voice your opinion. You know this is a black man's thing. We started this. This is our sh*t. We've allowed you to come in and kick your sh*t, make yourself known and if you have enough respect for the culture, we f*ck with you. But don't push it too far. See making a song like [Same Love], feeling like you have the same footing as any other hip hop artist, and to me you don't. To me when people like Macklemore come out with songs like that. I know he loves hip hop and all that, but he's trying to push an agenda that him as a white man feels is acceptable."
