LOL.
You proved my point 100%! You are the type of fan that makes people hate other artist. You relate to Em just like the demographic with the most expendable outcome and that is a huge reason why he is wildly popular. Em is a great Emcee but he is so popular because he got cosigned by the hottest producer at the time and talked about shit his demographic relates too.
Everybody likes a success story and all that bullshit you typed above is what helps him but it's funny that minority success stories where they help there self never gets as much airplay. WOW Em overcame a lot he had to deal with black people bullying him, he had to earn the respect of black people in a predominately black art form, his parents were on drugs, he had to raise his siblings by himself.
You know what Em's story sound like?!? A typical minority in fucking America! LOL. The same shit Em has been through I'm sure 90% of the emcees who have came before, during and after his run will go through. The only difference is he is a white guy who never tried to come off as being too fucking down with black folks. I mean Em was more like the Beastie Boys than 3rd Base. He talked shit about Pop stars, cracked corny jokes and played the victim role which helped him get even more endeared with the buying public
