Benzino: If Eminem was Black, he wouldn't be a Superstar. His whiteness was his novelty

This is 100% facts. I’m from Detroit and no one fukks with Eminem here except the trashy white people looking for a Great White Hope. Dude is Garbo.

Shhhhhh

Don't tell that to @LieutenantDan or 50 Cent that info. They literally didn't start rapping/ follow rap until Eminem blew up.

Eminem owes everything to his skin tone, just that Benzino sabotaged a lot of good MCs with the Mic Ratings like Busta Rhymes and Jadakiss in the early 00s.

But who's fault is that??

If Black folks don't support talented Black artist we can't blame other people.

Benzino is just hating. Damn dude let it go. I don't even fukk with Marshall like that but damn.

Instead, we neglected rappers like Talib Kweli and REKS and promoted non lyrical trash like Gucci Mane and Wala Flocka in the mid to late 00s instead :snoop:

Now, Hip Hop is making its last stand on the commercial level, on its 50th Anniversary at that. Black folk got on code to SUPPORT TRASH rappers on a hot beat, and now the art form is saying its goodbye.

nikkas like him and lord jamar are idiots and jealous because they didn’t sell ..

Em admitted that . Of course white audiences will buy his records because many of them can relate to him.

It is what it is

Tupac, biggie, snoop, 50 all have went diamond…

He’s 1000% right. If Em was black dude wouldn’t have been the novelty act that he was (in addition to being a great lyricist) nor would he have had the exposure that he got. Straight up rock channels were playing his music too because they were on code.

Before Eminem, these CACs were wildly upset that a white rapper couldn't spit nor get respect from black Hip Hop gatekeepers and pioneers.

Eminem came in, and they grabbed hold of him FOR DEAR LIFE. To them CACs, it was their last legit shot before they would have gotten erased completely from the Hip Hop spotlight.

Since then, no other white rapper gotten even close to as much success as Eminem. Not Bubba Sparxxx, not Paul Wall, nobody.

Em from 1998-2004 was one of the greatest notable icons in music and pop culture
- Makes relatable songs
- He dissed the political correctness and pop culture of White America
- Went off on politicians such as Bush and Trump

- Destroyed any beefs he had. Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon, Ja Rule, Benzino, Everlast
- "8 Mile" was a critically acclaimed movie and sound track
"Stan" "Lose Yourself" is one of his best songs
- Provided a mixture of shock value, wit, humor and creativity

Unpopular opinion: Em was more skilled when he was on drugs

A lot of rappers always forget to mention that Eminem knows how to make songs though. For all the lyric and skill talk, dude knows how to make songs…. It’s not just about a hot 16 with him
