Eminem, Elvis and other great white hopes Sorry, but I just don't think Eminem is nor ever was the genius that American music journalists claim him to be. Just like Elvis before him, Em's entire style was a runoff of lesser known Black rappers for which the media was all to willing to give him credit and proclaim him king.
Really? After two decades if hip hop made by Black artists who lived and died the music.....the most prolific ever is the white guy who comes along? Sadly the public ate it up too. Don't forget tho....they did try the same thing with Vanilla Ice ten years prior...but by the time Em came ailing they had learned from their previous mistakes and now knew what to do to fir the list impact and ti get people to buy into it. Get him a Black cosigner....one who is respected in the industry and make sure Em claims to idolize him. And make*wallah* A new king is born to rule over the fooldom [Edited 9/10/14 15:52pm] | |

Eminem didn't steal from black rappers, he literally invented comedy hip hop. | |

I disagree It wouldn't matter what color he is It's his style and lyrics that make him brilliant white or not | |

But then....his style isn't HIS style . When he came away from his assumed style because the public got wind of it and started calling him out....that's when his popularity took rapid decline | |

I think the OP is probably talking about success. He's level of success is unprecedented for a rapper. If you think looking like Cindy Brady on the cover of magazines doesnt help him gain a wider audience than other rappers- you tripping.
. He is unthreatening. It's also why he was able to make career out of "trolling" celebrities, not many could get away with it (He was also smart in trolling those who were considered 'weak' or easy targets. He had no political or social reason behind who he trolled, just as long as it was someone he knew he would not cop backlash for trolling, e.g Pamela Anderson, boybands ect...)
. .Only Cindy Brady could get away with all of that..............

[Edited 9/10/14 13:12pm] I agree with all that you point out here....he even used to dye his hair blonde. Yeah....he looks just like Cindy Brady in that pic. Furthermore....I remember suddenly all if this people playing his music that would have never associated themselves with the genre before. Reviewers who would have never give hip hop the time of day suddenly writing depth articles comparing his lyrics to fricken Shakespearean sonnets | |
