Haystak Calls Out Eminem

Posted by D Patrick Rodgers on Thu, Feb 5, 2009 at 2:44 PM

YouTube user HAYSTAKRULESWHITERAP (wonder if [s]he's affiliated directly with Haystak?) recently posted a video of the illustrious local calling out de facto white rapper supreme Eminem at a show. As you may or may not be able to make out from the video, Haystak spits some hot fire that sounds pretty well-received before saying something (apparently directed at Marshall Mathers himself) along the lines of "Ya'll reckon that'll make that bitch-ass white boy make another album? 'Cause I'm tryin' to work. If this was the IBF, he woulda had to come out and box me five and a half years ago to defend his title."

I won't lie. I haven't checked out a great deal of local hip-hop, but some folks (i.e. my sister) have told me that Haystak is a gifted lyricist. After listening to a handful of tracks and seeing some of his album titles (Car Fulla White Boys, Portrait of a White Boy), it sounds like he's pretty serious about becoming the dominant white rapper on the scene. I'm not sure why the whole race thing needs to be a factor, but I wish him the best. Maybe he'll land a duel with Eminem if he keeps it up.

I did, however, get a chance to check out local emcee 247 last weekend at The 5 Spot (with The Garland Sisters and Tallest Trees of all people), and I was seriously impressed. Definitely more my speed, 247 typically plays with a backing band, but even solo with just his iPod, the man has flow. He recently released an album that's worth a listen, but as far as I can tell you'll have to purchase a copy from him in person.

Ummm yeah #^7!% i hope triple stack fat boy aint really trynna take shots at eminem! If he is..for wat?? Eminem would murder this dude! Not sayin it would ever happen due to the fact that the dude is a nobody. Nobody in the game even takes shots at Em, not cuz their scared, more or less outta respect! Eminem has contributed nothing but greatness to rap...oh well, hayloft can keep doin his thing, and if he wants, lose whatever carreer he has to E!!!

I don't understand why dude is being so hateful. And racist. 'Haystack' dwelling on race is disgraceful. If he was so talented, people would know about him.

im from where haystack is from
one time i was at a journeys in murfreesboro, he came in w/ a cameraman and tried to hit on my friend who worked there. i asked him if he played the rollerrink in our hometown in the middle of him trying to sweet talk my friend on camera for his DVD. he reluctantly said yes.
and walked away, after giving us those glossy postcards with his face on them.

The reason no one test Em, on the mic is out of respect for what he has done for the industry. And I'm happy Haystak is testing Em, on the mic. Em is always best when someone test him. but why not back when Eminem was real big? For Stak to say hes the best white rapper is low. He must not be able to call himself the best all time.
and after Em help the industry out so much. Em isnt the best "white rapper" ask lil wayne any rapper, hes one of the best all time. wayne even said he can' touch Em on the mic. Look it uo on youtube.
and no name haystak wants to try.
lol ok get him Em.

Yall need 2 wake up!!! Haystak dont have fans he has BELIEVERS and FOLLOWERS. CWB (crazy white boy-4 those that are slow) is not a group its a life style. Representation for those who otherwise wouldnt have no representation. Eminem is a lyrical dude but when it comes 2 being lyrical and 100% REAL, Haystak is that white boy!!! Fuck everybody that disagrees.... yall just mad cuz Eminem aint no where 2 be found. He made his name off of dissing other people and his family at that. How pitiful is that? Haystak just spits tha truth. Get wit it or get rolled over by it, plain and simple. One dubb, Jay Whyte.
P.S. Quit hatin on Stak, he dissed Eminem, not you, you punk ass bitches... ha ha ha
If u wanna hear tha whole song dissing Eminem check out Haystak's myspace..... I Am That White Boy!!! and see ur boy Em get murdered on tha track.

For those of you dissing Stak take a look at his Myspace, buy an album, or hell burn some of his music and you will see how he has started a MOVEMENT he writes about things that REALLY MATTER....family, loyalty, and pride in who you are NO MATTER WHAT RACE you are! Go and listen to "I am that whiteboy" he talks about how he knows Em has it in him to write "REAL" music, but he chooses to write CRAP just to earn a dollar.... and the sad thing is that people listen to it! Day after day stak has comments from people saying that he helped them through the hardest times of their lives addictions, death, poverty anything you can imagine his music has a PURPOSE I wish I could say that for Em and alot of other artist.

This is such a shame. Since the media only portrays the negative light of EVERYONE without beginning to give credit where it is needed... I have a few reasons Stak is a great man, and should you have done a little research Mr. Flunkie Journalism major who doesn't know anything about Nashville or local music (obviously), here you go....
1) Please visit www.myspace.com/methamphetaminekills, there you will see AAMPD, americans against methamphetamine production and distribution. This is a site created by Haystak and his friends to raise meth awareness.
2) Call any narcotics anonymous in this city and ask them about "My first day" which is found on his "Portrait of A Whiteboy" album (I'm sorry, In your research, you must have not made it that far). Here you have a song that has helped hundreds, even thousands overcome addiction and has been known in rehabs across america.
3) Go to you tube/haystaktv; His first video ever posted, Hard to Love, is one of the most heartfelt songs I have ever heard in my life. The video is so true to life, it shows a domestic dispute and at the end, urges women who have been abused to step forward.
This is just the beginning of good attributes this man has made to society, instead of eminem who got his shot at fame by selling out his whole entire family (killing his wife, selling out his mother, even mentioning his daughter on his records). Maybe this doesn't apply to everyone, until you have a sister that was hooked on codeine and alchohol for the last 10 years and kicked it due to one of this man's records, or a daughter that came out about abuse.
Good job Mr. Rodgers, to think, a journalism degree can be acquired without being good at your trade... DO YOUR RESEARCH!

Oh, goodness, my friend. It's just a blog post. Not an in-depth article. It was created with the intention of sharing a clip of Haystak having some fun at Eminem's expense. I've seen "Hard to Love," and I certainly don't doubt that Stak has done good things for his community. Just take a breath. No one said anything terrible about your boy.

For those Em fans that haven't listened to Stak, need to go out and buy his Crackaveli double disc. It is by far the best rap album i have paid for, since Outkasts Aqemini...
Some one said it before, but its worth repeating. Haystak has believers not fans..

I like both rappers and I do not understand what started this. I do think em puts out some goofy songs. I don't see why em does not respond. Haystak is well known, maybe not nationally or worldwide but he's a underground legend. I've heard people say haystak is doing it for money and publicity, if so I do not care. You get into the business to make money. I don't think eminem will retaliate its not because he will make stak famous. I think he's been out the game too long and he recognizes that haystak is not a pushover. Think about it, What if em did fight back and lost? That would ruin his career as the same for stak if he loses. I believe eminem is waiting for this to blow over and I have a feeling that it's only going to get bigger. He hasn't had artist hit him constantly like stak is. I know icp made some tracks but nothing like this.

Being from Nashville, I am a little partial to Haystak. However, both of these rappers have individual talent, just 2 totally different styles. Haystak is not as main stream, but should be by all means strickly from the lyrical talent that this man possesses. I know from his album "Hard to Love", he did an entire rap album without using one cuss word, stricly heartfelt lyrics, now that to me is talent.

yo yall people just dont get it. if you are a true haystak fan or have ever listen to his albums you could tell that he has been calling eminem out since day one. he always mentions shit about him or d12 or "that dude from 8 mile", on more than one album. and to those who dont know why haystak dissed eminem, its b/c he is realer than eminem, and he doesnt think slim shady should get all the credit and money he has. haystak was a staight street thug, dealin drugs and shit. on the other hand eminem just raps about doin them. if you actaully LISTEN to rap music rather than HEAR it you can tell that eminem lies and talks shit about fake stuff, when haystak spits about real everday shit that alot of people go through. eminem is just a fake ass white boy thats a wigger. haystak takes pride in bein white. eminem is also a comical rapper. he even said in a interview a few years back that he makes up alot of shit when he raps just to piss people off and to get into their heads. and to those people who say that you can look up haystak, real name, jason winfree, as a sex offender are fucked up. b/c first of all it says he is from antitoch, tenn. he is from lebanon you dumbasses. its right outside of nashville. and it says he got charged with rape in 1995. well i am sorry to those of you that think he is almost 40, just b/c it says he was born in 1973. he wasnt, he was born in 1979 and just turned 30. so that would have made him 16 in 1995. if you go to his myspace page and listen to all 7 of his eminem disses, he states that his beef with EM is b/c he is a fake liar thats spits phony raps, haystak is the truth. plus he says that google didnt do him justice, hes bonifide, so all that shit about him being a sex offender isnt true. fuck eminems bitch ass, tell him to come see me and my homies, we got m-16,aks, ars, it whatever man, b/c the real ones know who thry are, and we dont listen to EM!!!!!

This shit is funny, i'm from chucktown too and been listening to stak for the past 5 or 6 years along with Eminem, Haystak is the real deal underground but for those saying he paved the way you gotta look at the dates, ems first album technically came out in '95 while staks first was in '98, i've got nothin but luv for both just coz there doing what i could only dream of. Its all a matter of preference, i don't just stick to one, the real shit stak spits and the comedic raps of eminem are all good music you want to say how em only got a deal selling out his family, then want to so he even claims not to be serious and make shit up, doesn't that tell you right there....stak goes hard for not being picked up by a main label record but you cant say that he is "whak"(for real who uses that in everyday talk anymore)especially if you have never heard him, no way is he a nobody, just coz he aint as well known as Em don't mean he's not to be taken serious.
