Stevie Wonder Bashes Eminem for Jackson Criticism
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - In a rare public outburst, Stevie Wonder has blasted Eminem for ridiculing Michael Jackson in a video, and suggested the rapper was hypocritical because he owed his success to poor and black people.

Jackson himself has already lambasted Eminem's video for the song "Just Lose It," which makes light of child molestation charges against the self-styled "King of Pop."

Wonder joined the fray by telling Billboard magazine that he was "really disappointed" in Eminem.

"Kicking someone when he's down is not a good thing," Wonder was quoted as telling the music industry trade publication. "I have much respect for his work, though I don't think he's as good as (late rapper) 2Pac. But I was disappointed that he would let himself go to such a level."

Added Wonder, "He has succeeded on the backs of people predominantly in that lower pay bracket, people of color. So for him to come out like that is bull."


Ummm....Stevie? LOVE your work but....you didn't actually SEE the VIDEO.

Oh please. Eminem is equal opportunity when he "slanders" people. I'll leave it at that, lest the thread become political.

I'm not an Eminem fan by any means. I think all RAP is cRAP. But this is an obvious case of relying on what others have told you and using your celebrity status. For what means is yet to be seen.

we should punish stevie wonder for his dumbass comments....how about we rearrange his furniture in his home!

[hech54]

How about we mix up the clothes in his closet....make him a walking billboard for bad taste....

I really don't care either way, but I agree with you about Stevie using his celebrity status to turn something that Eminem commonly does into a racial issue. It's not like he only targets black people. If that was the case, he'd be out of a job a long time ago. Eminem has poked fun at MJ in the past, so it's not like he's doing anything out of the ordinary.

Now he's probably sold a few thousand more records, just because the MJ and Stevie Wonder fans want to see what all the hubbub is about. Go celeb power!

Stick with the original subject and stop playing the racism game....it's getting VERY old and boring.
