I've said before, I believe the term legend is thrown around too easily. Should we consider Vanilla Ice a legend since he sold 11 million off is one album? ? Is 50 a legend?? MC Hammer?? Ja Rule?? Or were these people just the hottest rapper during their time??
Eminem has never really resonated with african americans collectively, the source of rap music. His gimmick has been being a white rapper in a predominently black industry that said shocking shit at the time. Can he rap?? Absolutely.
Does he have a classic?? Maybe MMLP. Maybe. Is his music still held in high regard outside of lose yourself?? Has anyone outside his hardcore, mostly white audience bumped an entire album of his in 5 years?? If not, is he a legend or a hot rapper that faded out?? Em suffered from being an animated rapper without much substance. The conversation would be different if all his songs were as deep as lose yourself, stan, etc. Niggas still listening to him fantasize about killing kim??

Believe it or not, sales do matter in legendary talk.
In 50 - 100 years when talk of hip hop takes place, Eminem's name will be brought up and his record sales within our art form will be mentioned.
The one white boy that came in our culture and became the best selling rapper of all time and the second best selling solo artist of all time behind Garth Brooks.
43 million albums cannot be easily reproduced. The way of the world means a white boy can use hip hop to do this. White privilege.
And he only managed this by directly appealing to the WW pop audience by sending shots at popular artist of that particular time. White people found it amusing. More white privilege.
Please remember, a black rapper couldn't go at Britney Spears and Taylor Swifts without a major backlash and probably ending his/her career.

Ain't na nigga I kno fuks w/ Masta Albino aka MC Miracle Whip :bawling:
Wigga was skilled as an MC, & he had some piff features & good (SSLP) to very good (MMLP, TES) jawns in the late 90's-early 00's, but post-TES he's about as captivating as a used tampon :bawling:
Wigga makes god awful, meth addict McDonald's music for trailer park thots & pathetic coons & has fallen off worse than any rapper he came up w/ & maybe any rapper ever :bawling:
@ this pt a link to an Em song might as well be a link to gay porn for how quickly I skip over that shit & pretend I never seen it :bawling:

"I don't like his music personally... none of my friends listen to him... but since he sold a lot of records, I'll agree to call him a legend"...

His First 3 Albums (Including Infinite) Were Tolerable) But After That His Sound Was Nails On A Chalkboard
