eminem did not blow up cuz he's white. he blew up because white people love him...
 

...because he's white.
Don't lie, dude kinda boody...

He had something new.

And we were hype to finally have one of our own.

But there wasnt anybody mainstream sayin what he was sayin, it was fresh.

He blew up because he was dope as fuck.

why isit so cool to hate on eminem nowadays?

Cuz he a cracka ass cracka

The best thing he ever did early in his career was not fuck with Cage.

Quit being a piece of shit Naq.

Sick of eight mile. It's not as dope as ppl say.it's a rap movie with a white star. Out of like what five studio albums maybe two were good one was worth my money. Slim shady>marshall mathrrs>all his other shit.
Em isnt as good as buddens, and he damn sure ain't the best white rapper. Ask serch.
He is the longest running novelty act in hip hop.
Fuck ya hero.

Eight mile inadvertently destroyed rap on the internet

NAQ grow up



































Literally. Youre short as fuck.

I'm sure he will read this and dry his tears with all that money he has from his 'novelty act'

Mc serch? Lol stop that.

I wouod prolly agree w trap tho an say i am/was always a bigger fan of cage. Sslp was a classic tho......how many rappers can boast even one classic in their catalogue ......not many.

If you buy every kool g rap and every em alb and shuffle them shits, G. rap will outshine em all day.
Do not disrespect serch. He is hiphop.

So you're saying if the main character in 8 mile had been a black guy, it wouldn't have gotten the same exposure? You're probably right. However, Em's career isn't a fucking movie, Naq. He's said things in songs that dudes today still wish they could write. You can't deny that he is a top 5 or 10 best rapper in the history of the game.

First 2 albums were fire, guess your too short sighted to realize that.

Eminem isn't even in the top ten.

You say this as if it is fact lol

Go away please.

Also, this is inaccurate because the majority of people hating and protesting against Eminem were white people.

It IS fact. The only people that think Eminem is in the top ten of all time are kids 16-22 or so years old. All the folk who have listened to hiphop / rap music for the past 20+ years would say otherwise.

Lol @ budden being better then Em. I agreed with u on him being as popular as he is because he is a good WHITE rapper but that shit was too far.

Hush is my new girlfriend

What does that prove other than the fact two generations disagree, which is the same in every genre of music because you like what you grew up with, how does being older make them right? That's a pretty flawed argument seeing as how most people decide on which kind of music they are really fans of during those years, so if there is a huge and talented rapper like Eminem that is who they will go to first if they are fans of hip hop. Just as how Pac used to have that sort of status, he was the face of the genre, like it or not, Em was out spitting everybody, the stories he was telling and the unheard of and socially unacceptable lyrics he was writing, mixed with honesty and admittedly a pretty interesting personality at least to the extent that was shown, all of these things are what made him stand out, I honestly don't think he gets nearly enough credit for what he did for Hip Hop...this more than makes him one of the all time greats.

rofl, what a bullshit statement.. you have no idea of the opinions, so you cannot say IT IS FACT. simply because it's not.

All opinions all subjective
Prop 17

Everybody has the right to an opinion, but some choose to be wrong.
Singer s of my generation include whitney and mariah, does that mean I should think they are better than Aretha or Gladys just cause when iwas young they outsold their predecessors?
Eminem did not invent socially unacceptable rap. He spoke up for authentic hiphop but just happened to be white.
Everything else is what we did to him and how he reacted.
But why is it so hard to admit that eight mile made him like bel air made fresh prince?

he blew up cus of dr dre, just like 50 blew up cus of em.

Good point what about missy. She was huge. And popular.
But as talented as tim is he couldnt help bubba.
Dre called em cuz he was dope. I dont like the symbol hes become. The two are unrelated. Dont try to cut down my points with irrelevant facts. Stay on theme.

I think its unfair to say that eminem was the only person rapping about that type of shit, but the same can be said of those that deny the fact that eminem did it with a unique and eccentric type of personality that actually made the abrasive popular in the mainstream. Who the fuck was rapping like em? It couldve been another rapper out there saying some crazy shit, but it wouldnt have passed for very long because they wouldnt have had anywhere near the style of em.

I determine GOAT's by style yes, but right alongside that, influence, and Eminem is that if nothing else. Influential. Go back in time and take away the SSLP and MMLP and see if the game is the same. Thats what makes those albums classics to me. Eminem is top 5 rappers of all time to me.

8 mile made rap on the internet lol.

Exactly.

According to... what?

http://www.superteacherworksheets.co...ion1_WBNNQ.pdf

This is due by the end of class.

Infinite, SSLP, MMLP are all classic.
Lyrically, eminem is more talented than any if the people this site loves.
More talented than 99% of the old school 80's & 90's rappers.
The only rapper I can think of from the 90's that is genuinely better than Em, is Big L

Wow.

In terms of flow, schemes, wordplay, even the general themes in his songs. Not many are as good

I think you took it a bit far saying that L is the only rapper from the 90's who is better than Em. 7-9 of the top 10 rappers of all time were big in the 90's, depending on preference.

Well that's the thing, in the end it's all about preference.
My top 10 would probably only have 1-2 people from the 90's & probably only 4-5 US rappers

Let me guess, Macklemore is top 3?

This kind of explosive exaggeration is what I hate about ems fans...
not that all do it...cause if fight music or lose yourself or role model came on I'm jammin...
But I mean... you're including ghost, meth, big, doom, wayne, kane, slick rick, Jay, nas, Will, hammer, X, I mean did you think before you posted or did your love for eminem make you forget to think?

Nah, I've been playing him heaps recently, but he wouldn't be worthy of top 10 of all time.

I'm not even a huge eminem fan. I rarely listen to him. But honestly, he is better than most the people you listed. Jay z, Nas, Method Man & MF Doom are the only people you mentioned who could be better
