What impact is that? Eminem lost the battle to Lotto. If anything it shows the bias in hiphop for underdogs.

So the OP is basically admitting that he wasn't into Hip Hop before he saw Eminem's corny ass in 8 mile and fell in love?

Nah, ROFL is just showing us that he can troll. What he doesn't realize tho, is that 90% of the coli trolls. It's nothing special.

what introduced more people/fans to hip-hop.. illmatic or 8mile ???????


8mile influence >>>>>

 

[No_bammer_weed]

yes....and Elvis, Guns and Roses, simple plan, kid rock, metallica, lim biskit, bon jovi, etc, etc, etc had a bigger impact on rock n roll and sold more records than Fats domino, little richard, chuck berry, and bo diddly. We all know that white folks have the social capital, and ability, through racism, to garner more success and fame than more talented african americans who build and pioneer the art that they steal.

So whatchu sayin, exactly?

 

[OG Talk]

8 Mile is a great movie, so I'll c/s this. Illmatic the GOAT album, but impact? Hard to argue against 8 Mile + the OST.

 

[god shamgod]

Unfortunately this is true Illmatic didn't have no impact like that in 94

Scarface the diary,Bone creepin on the come up,Ready to die and da brat funkdafied all had more impact that illmatic

 

[ROFL_GUY]

EM puttin in work in 94



proof

He is right, what the fukk did Illmatic do commercially that other good albums that dropped in the 90s do? aside from shyt that sold great like the fugees. People hold it in high regard but it did shyt for hip hop on a sales or recognizable level. 8Mile did
