LOS ANGELES (Dec. 6) - 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----."

A spokesman for Eminem was not available for comment. The song, hailed by the Los Angeles Times as a "playful look at celebrity voyeurism," is expected to be among the nominees when contenders for the annual Grammy Awards are unveiled on Tuesday.

wut messes me up is that everyone wants to blame the artist for all they trouble...michael jackson put himself in that possision...letting kids sleep with him...thats nasty....would u let ur son sleep in the bed with him...(under covers).....i didn't think so.

MadTV disses michael Jackson all tha time, and Michael never said n e thing about them....oh so its because he's white isn't it.....lemme fill ya'll in

...Eminem thrives off lower paid black people????

Dr.Dre has more money than Em does thats fact....
Also Em was never an original memeber of D12...they jumped him in...plus he got D12 to be where they are today, so wut now???

These muthafuqers piss me off ....b!tchin to tha media about how it was wrong, and yadadada...shut the fuq up.

I'm Backing Eminem up on this one as a hip hop fan/ and a black person.

and why does michael care...he's rich too...if i was rich i wouldn't give a damn about wut someone said to me.

"I done touched on everything, but little boys / Now, that's not a stab at Michael / That's just a metaphor / I'm just psycho."

Every time he makes a thread, yall make a big deal like its autimatically stupid. when you see a thread, just answer it. And if its stupid, then you can bash him. but every time a makes a new one yall gotta check wit yall selves whether its good enough.
