Funk Volume artist Jarren Benton spoke to VladTV about labelmate Hopsin calling Brand Nubian member Lord Jamar racist for his comments on white people within Hip-Hop culture.
Benton says that while he welcomes everyone into the house of Hip-Hop, he didn't feel that what Jamar said was racist, and points out that Hip-Hop, while accepted by the masses today, started as a black art form. He also notes that many black art forms have been re-vamped by other cultures and African-Americans don't get their proper due for its creation.
Benton then spoke on Justin Bieber's recent racist remarks, remarking that while it's no excuse, he understands Bieber was young. He also shared that as a lifelong Southerner, he wasn't surprised by Donald Sterling's racist comments, saying he almost expects it from someone like him. Bieber, on the other hand, is a different story.
