And KTT2 cacs still want to try to look cool by pretending he’s not a legend and has no classics

It's arguably the highest peak in rap history. KTT just hates Em

50 also had a similar peak.

Point being--Dre the GOAT

the weeknd had hurry up tomorrow the movie this year that was the first movie to make 1 weekendillion dollars so

Era was Prime Em

People really downplay Em's peak. It's kind of crazy.

It’s hard to fully give him that title though because, like he said as well, that never happens if the color of his skin was different

Also I feel like people generally think his music from that period didn’t age the best

I agree his skin color played a role.

That said, Em's music from 99-02 aged the best out of his catalog. It's his music post 8 Mile that aged worse ironically.

TES didnt age bad

sslp did

Yeah white privilege

Rap is like a mountain

99 to 2003 the world belongs to shady/aftermath.

All they can talk about is streaming these days

KTT over the years has stan'd a bunch of trash to mediocre(at best) white rappers.

Hating Em the one constant the entire time. I know what y'all are

Yeah he had all the odds stacked against him too

That’s the cosplayers go to move lol

Nahhhhh it’s everything after (and arguably a good deal of what came before) that didn’t age well

Eminem show and 8 mile soundtrack >>>

What other rapper would say f*** the Oscar’s to go chill with his daughter lol
He ain’t give one f*** about it

Nah MMLP is a much better album

Ok what do u want us to do with this information

It was a double-edged sword.

He did benefit from being more marketable as a White dude and talked about that in his music.

But Em was also highly controversial too. He had GLAAD, Republicans, and feminist groups protesting his music and calling for boycotts.

Also, he was viewed as a danger to suburban kids no differently from NWA in the past or Grand Theft Auto.

In fact, my mom was playing a radio show in her car in 2002 and I vividly remember hearing a bunch of older people claiming that parents should stop their children from getting into Eminem and Grand Theft Auto so that they won't turn out to be degenerates. And I was very young then.

And he was temporarily banned from certain countries too. And he had the FBI investigate him for "Mosh."

People who act like Eminem was this safe White rapper who had it easy are rewriting history. He and 50 Cent both broke a lot of barriers. (Kanye did too in a totally different way).

Cmon bro

what aged bad about TES fr?

sslp just cause of the goofiness

Eminem show is easily the most overrated from his first 3
