Representatives of the West Coast Sound off on Eminem

WEST COAST AFTERSHOCK

Suge Knight

"First off, I am definetly supporting The Source on this, because they have been representing for Hip-Hop since day one. I not only fault Eminem, but the people around him, who knew about this all along – including Dr. Dre. I don't support anyone who [says they are] down with Hip-Hop and is trying to defend this racist muthafucka. I've watched beefs go on in Hip-Hop where guys are ready to go to war with each other and hold grudges for years, but this is way worse and some people are ready to dismiss it. My mother is Black, my sister and my two daughters, so when he talks about Black women, there is no forgiving him."
