   ITS FUCKING STUPID! Panders to the lowest level of humanity. There a reason that its called either:

   TTTv (Trailer Trash Television)

   or

   LCDTv (Lowest Common Denominator Television)

   He’s not funny, he never has been. He’s not a comic genius. He’s a moron!

   This is poetic justice, using the same vehicle (MTV) Eminem used to publicly humilate, debase gay people. This is karma, or rather fartma, coming back to him.

   I think ummduh is correct, although I don’t think it matters. To those too dimwitted to get that it was a staged joke, the simple juxtapositon of images: a guy’s ass in Eminem’s face, is potent — and goes a long way towards addressing and rectifying his (supposedly humorous) jibes and attacks on gays.

   The black kid doing the commentary in the video is the one who doesn’t get that OF COURSE IT WAS STAGED. He doesn’t recognize Cohen and thinks he’s a fan who just happened to get all rigged up to fly over the audience without the MTV producers knowing anything about it. The only thing that wasn’t staged is Eminem. I can’t imagine him being in on the joke. He’s the sort of jerk who never makes jokes, let alone gets them. That was why Cohen targeted him, and the MTV producers thought it made good TV.

   Eminem is, and has always been, tedious. A punk, in the old fashion sense of the word. A skinny, angry kid at the bottom rung of a petty larceny rap sheet, who works on his body in the prison yard. Gets an objectively awesome physique, but still comes off as a wannabe man. All those muscles and indents do nothing but radiate bottom-feeder anger, discomfit at being alive, paranoia at being looked at. Shit rap music reaps him a fortune, but he’s nothing more than a lottery winner in a trailer with missing teeth and tobacco-stained breath.

   Pushing ass in his face is a waste of ass.

   AskTheBlackDudes is hot!

   He knew it was Sasha Cohen. Everybody watching knew it was Sasha Cohen. AskTheBlackDudes’ commentary is an attempt at humor (take it for what you will) and intentionally postulates a possibility they knew wasn’t true. You’d have to be a total idiot to think MTV would let a “crazed fan” pull antics like that, and AskTheBlackDudes is not that dumb; they were taking a jab at Eminem for making an album that sucked.

   Look at AskTheBlackDudes’ other videos. Their humor is extremely cheesy and is based on the idea of not getting the obvious.

   I don’t know how Eminem could have not been in on the joke; he could have sued the network for harassment had they not gotten some kind of clear on it first. MTV was obviously in on what Sasha Cohen did because they set up the equipment and operated it to drop on Eminem like that – and I don’t think they would have taken the risk.

   Whether Emmie was in on it or not — isn’t this the same guy who threatened to beat up vegan Christian Moby and a fucking puppet on two separate occasions? — it all just proves that Rap is nothing but a big, over-exaggerated, macho show for kids who aren’t inclined to look past all the posturing to see the $$$ denominator behind it.

    Yeah, because certainly an Aryan white guy named “Marshall Mathers (Eminem)” is the be-all and end all of rap, an urban music form that emerged out of poor Black and Latino communities almost 40 years ago now and remains a major cultural outlet of those groups.

    And all the college students and urban artists who are part of the R&B cultural process are just deluded…

    Jesus Christ John. Zing? Calling Eminem “tedious” is probably the best insult/criticism I’ve heard thrown at him. I disagree that Eminem wasn’t in on this. It felt rehearsed to me. Eminem is a clumsy jester (see his music videos) but he does joke. Maybe he’s a “tedious” jester. Historically his homophobia has been theatrical, swinging from scary gaybash to dolling out playful tokens, i.e. Elton John, or that random gay guy in 8 Mile that he’s all cool with and shit. Cohen’s Bruno falls (literally?) into that pattern. This was faux-cross promotion at its worst and the handling of it is a perfect example of how *not* to do it. Especially since the producer admitted it: Google Scott Aukerman. Overall, huge gain for Bruno, but embarrassing for Eminem. He should have spanked that ass instead of the fake drama.

    And Kane needs to grow up… If you can’t handle criticism or have a discussion without telling someone to ‘fuck off’ then it’s obvious of your maturity level.

    The racial distinction for me is irrelevant at this point. The medium lost its way when it became uber-corporate. Whether it’s Eminem (I just can’t bring myself to take anyone with such an asinine stage name seriously) or 50 Cent, the whole scene seems fixated on money culture, wretched excess, ghetto fetishism, women who are little more than dispensable sex dolls, thug glorification, too many steroids, gender reductivism, and product placement — weirdly enough the sort of mindsets it once would’ve been opposed to.

    A fair critique, but the biggest moneymaking rap stars are no more an indicator of the nature of hip hop than Hollywood blockbuster movies are representative of the art of film. The second sequel to Pirates of the Carribean wasn’t as deep or meaningful as Boys Don’t Cry, but guess which one earned close to a billion dollars worldwide and which one earned about a hundredth of that?

    I’d also ask you to point out ANY genre of popular music that never became uber-corporate. Surely, none of the songs you own or listen to are associated with RIAA-affiliated agencies or corporations?

    If you want to find some deep, Earthy rap music that has a more positive message, look up Saul Williams, Cypress Hill, Jurassic 5, The Roots or anything that bills itself as “Alternative Hip Hop”. I am admittedly not extremely well-versed in the scene but I could point you to those who are. And I’ve absolutely heard tracks by even the “worst” reputed mainstream artists that are skilled and respectable.

    I find it really interesting when gay men bash on rap; it’s almost never coming from people under 30, its ALWAYS white guys, and its comically reminiscent of the way people four generations back said Elvis Presley or the Beatles were too sexual. I can’t help but think that if it were a white art form, people would be more specific about what component of the industry they are referring to when they bash it. I usually find that the people who openly hate rap couldn’t even name 5 artists without the help of Google and definitely couldn’t recite a single verse of lyrics in the whole body of Hip Hop. Based on their passing observations they’ve decided there is no substance to it whatsover and could care less if the entire scene were abolished. There are fair criticisms to give certain artists, but to dismiss the whole scene in general is absurd.

    Reminds me of the scene from Freaks and Geeks where the father finds folded white in his daughter’s desk drawer, and exclaims “look! A bong! It’s a bong! What’s a bong anyway, is it some kind of joint?”

    I’m under 30, and there are black entertainers who have taken a certain amount of flack for criticizing the medium’s shallowness. And it is becoming increasingly hard to deny that the scene is becoming a cartoonish parody of itself, each mega-platinum rhymer more overpumped, bejewelled, and obsessed with outdoing the competition than the last.

21. Korikopat remarks:
    Maybe I’m getting too old but hey, kids, do any of you really believe that ANYTHING on an MTV awards show is real, spontaneous or anything like that? I stopped believing that when I was like 12. And don’t take these TV personas so serious, they have nothing to do with the people who invent and play them. Eminem probably has a bunch of gay PR guys, gay trend scouts and gay sex toy designers working for him. And just like every homophobic guy, he secretly gets horny when imagining or watching gay sex so he was eagerly willing to boost his dozed off career with a little ass-to-mouth action in front of every teenager in the western world. So what? As I speak, he sits at his pool, snorts coke, drinks beer and strokes himself while watching the pool boy. Oh, and Brüno is a Jew!
    (And since I’m German I know what he says but it doesn’t make much sense. He says “Shit. My buddy, my buddy… (then some fantasy-German) and then “my cock”).
