The s*** sound bites on my first single

I was partying with my landlord for his birthdaywhen encore dropped and someone had gotten it for him as a gift

The way the excitement slowly died in the room during the first song in between the first chorus and when that bullshit “head popped off head popped off head popped off get dropped off get dropped off” verse came on

"Dre, is it gay to play golf"
Dre goes "Yeah"
And em keeps going while dre keeps saying yeah after the lines

i remember being a kid and the night Encore dropped the biggest top 40 radio station in my area played the whole album

even at that age I was like man what

I knew a dude in college who had been such a huge fan at that point and encore was the first album he bought with his own money as a kid. When I tell you that he was beyond pissed...

Still Dre, Lose Yourself, In Da Club, Not Like Us.

Arguably four of some of the most iconic rap songs ever and they were all birthed from the Dre/Aftermath/Interscope familia.

You saying it wouldn't have still be outstanding music if he was black?

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

You could do this with anyone though

Would Nas have the same reputation if he was white? A white rapper couldn’t make Illmatic so what would he make?

I’m saying he wouldn’t have been as popular as he was if he was black

Not really. It’s extremely hard to reach those heights in America if you are not white. Not impossible, but very, very unlikely. It’s no coincidence that 8 of the 10 highest-selling artists of all-time are white acts.

Eminem himself has even conceded that he wouldn’t be as popular if he wasn’t white.

I get what you’re saying but the truth is that no other white rapper has come anywhere near Em let alone most black rappers. Even Mac Miller as super talented as he was was never even in the top 15-20 of biggest rappers.

Eminem was just one of a kind. Drake by the way isn’t like super off from the top 15 all time of best selling artists either. So it’s not like a black rapper can’t come close. Like both him and Kanye are just outside the top 20
