    Eminem didn't open the door for no one. stop the cap

    Wu tang was performing in Japan before eminem was even thought of....

    If by door you mean mtv? Still cap

    People knew Hip Hop, but it wasn't popular like that. It was a minority.

    Busta rhymes was extremely talented and had eccentric videos...
    But I guess....

    I'm not saying it was the sole reason he was that big but it played a big factor

    Really it's just a combination of everything and probably really good industry placement with Dre

    It also used to be the posters era. I remember going to the stores and checking the posters of Em, Ja, Nelly, Snoop,... Miss that.

    Are you implying Limp Bizkit is more talented or released better music than Eminem?

    Or Linkin Park who fell off after Meteora.

    And Luda, and Missy. But they never got as much love or even longevity as Em.

    I was born in 2004 but Eminem is still literally the worst rapper of all time. How are you impressed by preschool raps? “I’m slim shady, I’m hotter than a set of twin babies”

    Then listen to Kim. He’s an alcoholic angry white man that need to see a therapist.

    2000 WHAT

    Eminem was the biggest artist on the planet in the late 90s / early 00s, massive radio play and constant rotation on MTV. That horrorcore stuff too was different at the time from the wishy washy pop crap out people just gravitated to something new.

  • Old niggas mad itt

    F*** y’all and that trash ass nigga Em

    Touring hard outside of America also had a lot to do with it. He kept his loyal fanbase growing.

    Em is the GTA of rap music. People hated it,didn't understand it, and tried to cancel it, and now it's one of the biggest games ever.

    Just like NWA which inspired him obviously.

    Yup, sales really take on a different meaning nowadays with streaming. Pretty much going to be impossible to see new artists with diamond albums now.

    Yup, it's just different. Artists used to sell 100k in the first week, go on tour / promotional tour for like a YEAR and still go Plat!

    Nowadays if you sell 100k in the first week, you're only gonna sell like 250k total lol

    Music is like movies or books, you never see art about murder?

  • I’m done talking about Em tho. I said what I had to say. On that note, Mgk bodied Em.

  • Feb 22, 2021

    Boding Em didn't go well for him or 50's punching bags at Murder Inc.
