Last year Lord Jamar had criticized white rapper Macklemore. Jamar went on to share his belief that white rappers are guest in the house of Hip Hop. Jamar also said, "Just because you have a hit record doesn’t give you the right as I feel to voice your opinion. White rappers, those of y’all who really studied the culture, that truly love Hip Hop and all that, keep it real with yourself, you know this is a black man’s thing. We started this. This is our shit. We’ve allowed you, those of you who’ve proved your skill and all that, we’ve allowed you to come in and kick your shit, make yourself known. You know what I mean? And if you have enough respect for the culture we fuck with you. But don’t push it too far". Rapper turned actor Ice T was asked how he felt about Lord Jamar comments of Hip Hop being a form of black music. Ice agreed with Jamar saying Hip Hop is black music but anyone can contribute to Hip Hop as long as they respect the culture. People hold culture very close to them so you do not want someone to come in and disrespect your culture. Ice said "Lord Jamar was one of the first people in the art of rap. Lord Jamar is gonna have always a pro black way of going at things". Ice claims he put one of the first white kids in the game.
