Aside from Eminem, why don't other white rappers sell good?

Damn you're a confused soul...and your comprehension skills are lacking.

When I talk about songs, Im not just alluding to tracks such as "The Real Slim Shady." Im referring to "Sing For the Moment," "Til I Collapse", "Rock Bottom," or even "Changes" off Recovery. Lyrical masterpieces that also have a message and relevant content. 90% of underground rappers can't do this....

I'm a confused soul??!?! I'm more open-minded to other white rappers than you are. That shows your ignorance again. There are plenty of wonderful hip-hop masterpieces with great messages with them too. But you've probably overlooked them because they weren't on MTV,VH1 or on your local pop radio station. What other artists have you given a try?

other white rappers didn't have that monster co-sign of Dr. Dre.

True, and Dr. Dre knew he would make a grip load of money because of his ideal "Pop" image too.

Dre didnt even know em was white, until he set up a meeting for the signing.

I listen to everything...Im bumping Vinnie Paz's new album as I type this. My 5 favorite rappers would prob be, jay-z, ghostface, eminem,ill bill, and jadakiss.

You are right, there are plenty of wonderful hip-hop masterpieces in the underground....listen to Ill Bill's "Society is Brainwashed" when you get the chance. The difference is, eminem can make these type of records, and still make them commercial to the point where they will appeal to a bunch of people. That is why Eminem is more talented than Ill Bill.....for example.

But Dre knew he was making a great investment in him and it worked. The mainstream is always going to be about making money over art.

I wouldn't necessarily say that Eminem is more talented than any of the other white rappers, but he's represents what the major labels want to see in the commercial realm.

There has yet to be a "white rappa" to enter the mainstream and be newhere close 2 eminem on tha mic. Be honest w/ yaself pimpn, Do you think asher roth, bubba sparxxx, paul wall, and that old white boy on CTE can fuck w/ slim shady lyrically? Hell naw and you done lost yo dam mind if u feel otherwise. That whiteboy from alabama "yellowolf" and "Riitz" from my town in north atlanta(stupid nawf) is close lyrically but they underground still. they need a hit record first. When you're a minority and enter a realm, of ne sort, you have to be great not just good or almost good b4 they take you seriously. I.E. williams sisters, jackie robinson, tiger woods, & eminem. To answer your question in one sentence; No other white rapper has sold as much as him is because they're not on his level. AT ALL, NOWHERE CLOSE.

Thats pretty messed up, LOL so I guess Emenim is the one in a million rapper thats good and the rest are garbage...LOL thats coldblooded.

H Rap is the biggest hater i'm sorry but i lost all respect for H Rap cos he spreads lies the man is a liar i gave him credit before but fuck it you can't chose to ignore facts but try to put down Eminem

'Paul Slayton was born and raised in a middle-class neighborhood in the Northwest section of Houston'

According to this fool H Rap every white male that marries a black woman might as well be black

Em is the great white hype, when you think of a great white rapper his name always comes up 1st, when there's a new white rapper coming up in the game, he will get compared to Em, just ask Asher Roth.

It's kinda unfair to the other white rappers cuz as long as Em is dropping album they will never get no respect like he's getting.

 

[ShadyTeam]

People can call me a slut, a whore etc

But there is a difference between people who are really smart and people that show love to people that pretend to be smart and are haters

The way society is anyone that is succesful & wealthy and made it from the bottom will get hated on it's human nature to hate on people H Rap is a hater rather then saying hey look Eminem came from the bottom and did it for his daughter and worked hard at his craft congratulations to the man

But i feel he rather would hate i mean i gotta laugh cos you actually have a black panther who worked with Eminem for a 2pac project so my question is if 2pac's mother can be cool with Eminem & not say a bad word about him why would people on the internet feel comfortable to hate on Eminem all for for what? cos he was born a couple of shades lighter then you & is very talented but worked hard to accomplish his success

The gimmick is up H Rap from the time you are calling Paul Wall might as well be black it just shows you are a poser H Rap

Because it's true? Lol damn you should just slit your wrists and jump off a bridge then...the world would be a better place.

Em's got boatloads of skill and spits like no other rapper, ever ! .. untill another white rapper comes out of the woodwork and has skills to put em to shame, no white rapper will ever get the success em has. no1 can replace Elvis, only imitate

 

[5th Letter]

Eminem sold because at the time of his debut he was the first white rapper since the Beastie's to have that legit credibility as a rapper, and he was also marketable. Whether Dre was involved or not he still would have sold. Just as long as he got the right promotion. Most other white rappers were either corny or were too gimmicky.

He's this generation's "Elvis".

I agree with you, but the majority doesn't. Sad.

 

[SOFTBALL]

EM sold because, it was just a matter of time before he signed somewhere else. with a gift like that? you can throw all that"white", "DRE" stuff out the window. you wouldnt sit around arguing how lebron and jordan got put on would you?

 

[reef hustle_ahh]

yeah i tried pointing this out to shady in a thread yesterday

em sold like that because of his music AND him bein white. not just one or the other

I used to like Emenims music, but after reading your threads and posts I started to dislike his music.

I guess I felt that his music was somehow to blame for your mental illness and my superstition got the best of me and thought it best to not even listen to him anymore for fear that it might have some subliminal demonic frequency that turns normal people crazy like in the vidoe for "Stan".

You can call me a hater, that's O.K. but you could never call me fake. I say what I feel without any worries about who may or may not like it.

I stand by my statement about Paul Wall, he married a Black woman and he has half-black children, that means he's part of my family on his wife's side and an honorary "brutha".

You enjoy posting those picks of that Indian girl in your avatar, my word is my bond and
I give you my word as a man, if you can get that Indian girl to pose next to an Emenim poster or hold up an Emenim C.D., or even a show a notebook piece of paper with Emenims name on it I will never post on the I.C. again I give my word as a man, and promise on the souls of every living relative in my family tree.

Its a real simple way to get rid of me forever.

Make yourself famous or else everyone will think you are a lunatic white male from london
posing as an Indian chick with Gee757 in his sig....
