Like Elvis and Vanilla Ice before him...Eminem is highly overrated. Another great white hope nothing more nothing less. Dre cosigned and Blacks fell for it lock, stock, and barrel. | |

Overrated? in what sense, you're saying that just because he is white, if his songs were sung by a black guy, then you would say nothing at all. | |

Eminem has always gotten props from black rappers I don't see the big deal. He's good at was he does one of the best no matter what color he is. | |

Why is everything always about race. Even the video just says rappers talk about Eminem. Rappers acknowledging another rapper. Stop dividing people, the sooner the better we can all come together as one in peace. But that takes everyone. | |

seriously.... why would the OP even headline "Black Rappers Give Props to Eminem"?...what were they trying to prove or confirm or validate?... | |

He helped popularise the genre in the late 90's and early 2000's. For a lot of young (predominantly white) people at that time, he was their gateway into rap music. So, whether you like his music or not (and I don't) or whether you think he's overrated (I do), you can't deny that he helped to create a bigger market for mainstream rap music. Therefore, it stands to reason that a lot of rappers would give him "props". He helped popularise a genre of music they do, which in turn, led to a lot of rappers of all colours earning a lot of money. | |

no I think you can hear Eminem in early Kendrick Lamar and in the broadway play Hamilton and that transcends just popular music. Not to bring it back to race again but white rappers after Eminem are either trying to be him or avoid being compared to him he's become a totem of rap music. | |

Hip Hop is black music, Eminem is white so it's a way to "validate" him as a rapper. | |

As far as white rappers go the Beastie Boys had him beat years ago and probably before some of you were born. Run DMC also broke those doors down with their rap metal before the Beasties came along. As for Eminem I'm not a fan and while I do like Lose Yourself and maybe 2 others I feel he is overrated too. While he has had an impact on white suburbia there are other rappers like Kanye West and Jay Z that have hit that market too. I thought when he first came out with the Slim Shady persona and making raps about killing his baby's mom I thought he was cornball. Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |

Yes, and not to mention mc hammer and vanilla ice having diamond albums that accumulated overtime. So much for mainstream not caring. Plus fresh prince/will smith was pretty much accepted by mainstream and by the Grammys for popularizing "safe" hip hop culture. One must keep in mind Eminem and bubblegum acts of the late 90s came at a time when Viacom bought networks and due to the economy, kids were spending more money than ever on popular culture and Eminem was part of that. He spoke to suburbia and low income populations and people were drawn to that. If anything it was a win win cause Dre profited too [Edited 1/20/17 20:48pm] | |

How the hell did I forget about MC Hammer? Because it was so easy to do. MC Hammer did indeed break into mainstream pop with the Hammer Don't Hurt Em and 2 Legit to Quit albums. I knew he was deep in it when I was taking a business law course in 1990 and my professor was talking about how much she loved Hammer and how he was such a smart man. He speaks so well! He speaks so well!

I find this title funny... As if Black rappers had the monopoly of rap. If the guy is good, he's good... Then people talk about racism.
