Chuck D Calls For Eminem To Apologise On Tv

  • 06 June 2004

Rap godfather [Chuck D](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/chuck-d) is calling for [Eminem](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/eminem) to make a televised public apology for a racist record he made when he was a teenager.

The WITHOUT ME rapper was named and shamed by THE SOURCE journalists last year (03) after they uncovered a forgotten recording of Eminem poking fun at black women.

Eminem has since apologised for the recording, which he claims he made after breaking up with a black girlfriend, in the pages of rap magazine XXL, but [Public Enemy](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/public-enemy) founder Chuck D insists it isn't enough.

He says, "Eminem is full of s\*\*t because, really, f\*\*k your counsel and your people around you; if you said those things and were found out, you should go to BET (American urban cable music network) and make a national statement, like you're the president of rap.

"Running away from that issue is gaining my disrespect. That's bulls\*\*t... Make a statement, do your thing, humble yourself and keep it moving.

"Don't put a f\*\*king apology letter in XXL. You've got to talk to the masses."
