all-around skill, delivery, and presense


and its not because HE is white, but all the little white girls and rockers and shit buy all his albums... do you know how many white people i know that that is the ONLY rapper they like? hmmm, why do you think that is? but dont put that solely on him being white, because its not the same for Paul Wall or The Alchemist.

Eminem has all of those fans, and sold a lot because he was DIFFERENT, nobody else rhymed like him at that time...EVERYONE was rappin like a 'gangsta' and they still are, Eminem was completely different from what everyone else was doing...how can you argue that?

Well lets see

Paul Wall = raps exactly like every other southern wack rapper on the radio
Eminem = didnt rap like everyone else on the radio

THATS why Paul Wall doesnt sell like Eminem, cuz hes not different...hes just another wack rapper they play on the radio and people bop their heads too...he will die out soon, Em wont...

The way a
shitload of white people bought Eminems albums

is the same way

a shitload of black people bought Biggies albums...

peace

first off it wasn't a black or white thing... i happen to like biggie's shyt.... i also think eminem got mad skills... y'all looking at it all wrong.... when BIG came out he had an image that was unheard of in hip hop... he was big, black, and most would say not too attractive... you have no idea how many artists get turned down cuz they don't have "the look"... not only that... look at what rap was like before he burst on da scene... Big did his own thang... just like how you say emeinem was on some different shyt when he came out... i wouldn't say big was over-rated cuz the game changes... during his time he was da man... he's gone now... the music has changed drastically since big first dropped... you really think big woulda been on some crunk shyt now if he was still alive... nah... prolly woulda collabed to show his versatility like he did with bone thugs...(which i still say was better than the pac/bone thugs collabo)... y'all need to stop comparing a dead man against someone who's had a chance to grow as an artist and change with the times... em is to da 2000's what big was to da 90's... respect them both and let the shyt go... werd

EMINEM = Overrated white boy

Busta Rhymes is JUST as talented...but is the "wrong" color


Eminem = America's great white HYPE and HOPE...if he were black, he'd be another run-of-the-mill rapper, which he is to me anyway


Eminem = talented, but so are 100000000 other rappers out
