(AllHipHop News) Lord Jamar has dubbed himself a “Hip Hop conservative,” and at times his viewpoints on the state of the culture, particularly on White artists in Hip Hop, have not always been well received by others. Jamar’s recent assertion that Eminem is not any different from other White performers Macklemore or Justin Timberlake did not sit well with Em’s Bad Meets Evil rhyming partner Royce da 5’9”.

Royce publicly addressed Jamar on Twitter, and he asked the Brand Nubian member to have an open discussion about his latest statements. The Detroit native’s initial tweet also included Royce saying he felt Jamar’s viewpoints are becoming “too ridiculous.”
Jamar then decided to respond to Royce. The two rappers engaged in a lengthy conversation on the social media site.

If someone said "Brand Nubian is just another rap group from the 90's" .. Should his or her word be law based off opinion?
— PRhyme (@Royceda59) January 4, 2015
Or could that opinion be disputed with facts? @lordjamar
— PRhyme (@Royceda59) January 4, 2015
Brand Nubian made an impact on HipHop.. A contribution, if you will @lordjamar .. That's not an opinion .. It's a fact
— PRhyme (@Royceda59) January 4, 2015
Eminem is not to be mentioned in the same breath as ANY new artist… Not white… Not black… Or green @lordjamar I'll elaborate
— PRhyme (@Royceda59) January 4, 2015
His contributions to the artform put him in a different discussion.. Not his talent.. His talent is what got your attn in 2000 @lordjamar
— PRhyme (@Royceda59) January 4, 2015
He helped architect the Chronic 2001.. MMLP is arguably a classic.. He signed 50 cent.. @lordjamar
— PRhyme (@Royceda59) January 4, 2015
He signed 7 good brothers from Detroit and changed their lives @lordjamar .. He did a movie that put the battle rap culture on a pedestal
— PRhyme (@Royceda59) January 4, 2015
These are just to name a few.. These aren't accolades.. They're contributions @lordjamar

So basically he's not "just like" anybody.. He's the first we've seen.. Like it or not.. @lordjamar
— PRhyme (@Royceda59) January 4, 2015
So as an OG, I'd like to see you separate your personal opinion from facts.. Even on VLads couch @lordjamar

@Royceda59 Of course their opinion wouldn't be law, nor do I feel my opinions should be.
