The Official Eminem Discussion Thread

[Stew]

This is exactly what I have been trying to tell you brothers, look at the fans he attracts.
These are the whites that you consider your freinds, they say what they truly feel about you once they are hidden behind a computer.

Do you know the amount of psychopathic-racisim it takes to be a white racist on a Black website dedicated to Black music?!?!?

What other rapper has fans like this???

Tupac without a doubt. See Gee757

 

[VIBE]

this is the point that we r makin hoime............thats all................It helped alot.............yea he is talented, but he said it himself

Yeah but some dudes are making it out to seem its the ONLY reason he sold. It may of helped but you gotta like his content to buy albums. That's like me saying well because Elivs is white I'm gonna go buy his albums, I don't like his music, I don't vibe with it.

Fuck, I'm WHITE I LOVE Chuck Berry. My grandfather, who is hispanic raised me on Chuck Berry and all that good R & R. MY DAD likes Elvis, I was raised listening to that too. I prefer Chuck over Elvis any day. It has nothing to do with color. You cannot solely base it on color. You gotta vibe with the music and that has to be greater than skin color.

What about the 12 black people that took their money and bought a bootleg State Property dvd, Gucci mane shittape, a bag of gizzards, and some air ones at the local flemarket/swap meet?

Props for this response, black folks that ride the fence need to see posts like this.

Good looks.

Yes, it does matter. As, I am sure they're plenty of White consumers that would rather support white artists then Wayne, YE or 50.

I sure can say that as their have been plenty of MC's better then and perhaps on par with EM that haven't received the accolades and sales.

If you say so!!! But most whites are in the denial anyways. Just like R&R, Blues and Jazz. Whites have enjoyed more sales and financial success then Blacks. This is nothing new.

Because, you haven't heard this outright means nothing.

you seem to think the KKK is still relevant or some shit. white people in terms of hip hop will choose the best music out(not just skills but enjoyability). you actually think white people would buy a backstreet boy album over a MJ one?

racism blinds you. and what i said about Nas was very relevant to so whats your point?

i also made, many many post without saying "nigga" btw you look to old to be dressing up like a gangster lol(picture).

Are you serious or just being sarcastic??

Explain.

 

[Kwan Dai]

Yea but not all of us blacks have family and other important shit to do. I have been to 3 Wu concerts over the last 10 years and its been the same crowd everytime. Granted I wasnt able to see them back in the 90's for some reason I wanna believe that the crowd was the same. Most of those white ppl that Im speaking of are the ones in the pit getting crunk and rapping every word line for line with the Wu. I salute them niggas while we got cats on here complaining about records sales being taken seriously when the real topic should be "Why doesnt our black people support our artist"? And we wonder why talented artist like Masta Ace, Pharaoh Monch and Killer Mike are struggling to find labels and or getting their shit released.

I know for fact during the early 90's whites weren't at WU concerts in large numbers. Whites are almost never in these venues when Black artists are coming up. WHY? Because, Black artists come up through hood venues. When the artists get hot and get a deal the labels know they have to move these artists to venues that are more accessible (SAFE) for whites and suburban blacks. So, yes, know the promoters know they have to go where not only is, it safe but where the money is. The WU got to where they are by the OWN supporting them.

anyhow by, just tell me nigga, you arent one of those fools thinks a black man cant be racist? this thread is dedicated to hating white people for giving our rap stars money. be thankful white people support rap, unlike most blacks.

Dude is just as much of a hater/stan/delusional poster as Dretox or Shady Team or maybe thats the same person lol.

Fair enough on the 90's concerts(except for the sold out crowd in Hawaii that I heard about when I was their lol) but you have facts that the millions of albums sold by the Wu were predominately purchased by blacks?

So you're saying whites dont support black artists until they're famous because they don't want to get shot at Lil Ray Rays 5 dollar cover night?

if he was black, this thread would be half

 

[rapmastermind]

I suggest if posters have time to go back to the very 1st page and read this entire thread. I only asked what Eminem said himself but look at some of the comments and reactions. It's very disturbing. I never once said Eminem was wack or garbage. I never once said Eminem was the one of the worst rappers. A Matter of Fact here's how I rate his Discography:

SSLP - 4.5 MICS

MMLP - 5 MICS

TES - 4 MICS

E - 2 MICS

R - 2.5 MICS

R - 3.5 MICS

I actually enjoyed "Recovery" because his subject matter was very deep and he's dealing with the issue of recovering from addiction something a lot of people can relate to. But with that said his sales are extremely inflated in not only my opinion but Eminem himself opinion. I'm sorry some fans took it personal what Eminem himself said.

Probably not (to much start power) but they would buy a Backstreet Album over a 112, New Edition, Blackstreet or Jagged Edge album. I deal with the truth and real racial dynamics (created by whites) in our country. You can be a coward if you like by not addressing past and present music practices by whites if you like but I won't.

Wrong person as, I have no picture up.

"inflated" implies the numbers are artificially and disingenuously enlarged

 

[KTULU IS BACK]

if we're gonna talk about what Eminem himself has said about his record sales, consider this:

"Will Smith don't have to cuss in his rap to sell records. Well I do."

So when you account for that, Eminem is the GOAT rapper. He overcomes the handicap of having to cuss in his rap to sell records.

In very simple English? Yes!
