True
Black people fuked with Eminem from 99-03. Once the racist tapes and Encore came out in 04, that was the end of us listening to him.
Lowkey Eminem in 04 is the worst year a major rapper ever had
I’m from the inner city of Chicago and have friends from all over and literally no one I knows can rap the Superman lyrics. With that said, I brought Ems first two albums and even remember a long as line around the block in Hyde park for the MMLP cause that’s when I got it. So I’m not gonna lie and never say I was a fan of Eminem, but I was buying ALL the hip hop CDs back then, even taking the bus to go steal them on Tuesday’s with my partners on some young nikka shyt. So he was just in the mix. But he was super mainstream and very popular so you couldn’t help but to hear him on some level.
But after the MMLP I never brought nothing from that man again. I think that’s when he started ODing with crying about white American every song. Even as a young nikka, I was like the fukk is this white man crying every damn song for about white people, nikka you white smh. I didn’t consciously realize it at the time, but dude lost me cause he don’t make relatable music. Besides the novelty of damn, this man can rap fast as hell and make any word rhyme, and can be silly, what the fukk are you really talking about? It’s no replay value there. He’s skilled but nikkas would rather listen to someone like Juvenile 10/10 cause he’s relatable.
So yes, to say nikkas didn’t fukk with Eminem is hyperbole. But to say nikkas do fukk with Eminem is hyperbole as well. Black people who appreciate lyrics and that lyrical miracle rap appreciate him more, but the average black dude from an inner city not fukking with him, at least from my personal experience. nikkas fa sho wasn’t playing Eminem on 79th. Maybe in they room alone lol

its really not rocket science, but most people tend to speak from their lone perspective. as someone who fit in with all types of people and regularly hung out in different crowds, i will put it like this:
in general: black people checked out his music consistently. hes a great lyricist and was the only one allowed to advance in the game while making shock rap. so he was the go-to guy for crazy chit in the eyes of the general listener.
but his stuff was never the hot chit on the streets or at parties or anything social outside of sausagefest video game gatherings.
the types of people who were really on him LIKE THAT, were either the rippity-rap crowd or the L7s.
the people in the OP video were prolly corny kids in real-time when that eminem stuff they're reciting came out, altho i always felt like superman was a low-key jam.

That’s a lie we fukked with eminem heavy in his prime. Had every freestyle everythigg by he was murdering shyt.
Best reply in here. I knew people that liked him but I never heard his shyt played at Black functions and nobody in MY circle listened to him like that
Black people are the reason Eminem blew up in the first place. Anyone who’s saying black people didn’t fukk with Eminem at all back then are either deliberately re-writing history, or weren’t old enough to remember anything back then. I ain’t saying he was nikkas FAVORITE rapper, but we was checking for him enough. His features on Dre’s 2001 made MMLP highly anticipated. I know mad black people who went to see 8 Mile and had that soundtrack too.
Honestly, I think what made a lot of black people stop fukking with him as much is when he got with 50 and started trying to act hard (wearing vests and du rags) and no one took him seriously. Plus his music was becoming more gimmicky. That “Just Lose It” video when he made fun of MJ, we didn’t fukk with that.

He didn’t make the type of tracks that would get played at functions like that. It’s just that simple. But he was still respected as a lyricist. The key emphasis on WAS, since he’s been making bad music for a very long time now. I feel like some people on here are trying to portray that they remember what was going on back then just to fit in instead of actually remembering. The Coli is 100% doing revisionist history.
Just to put things in perspective, how many Nas songs did people hear at functions growing up? If Em was zero, Nas was probably 4.
I already said people liked him. And you way off about Nas
He's right and wrong
Black people who were into hip hop brought his CDs and listened to him
the hood never bumped his music outside, and yes Hood rats like that superman song from Eminem
What he saying is, you never went to a barbecue and heard em music playing even at the height of his career
they never played eminem in the club during the height of his popularity
Eminem was never played on Urban radio at the height of his career, all his music was played on the pop stations
And yes backpackers were the first to fukk with Eminem heavy, on those rawkus record ish, sway and tech album, etc, he was like the white canibus, this is how he first got accepted by black people
by the time chronic 2000 came out nikkaz was fukking with him like any other main stream rapper, and he started rapping more gangsta when signed with 50 and the whole G Unit shyt, but that's when his white fan base phased out everybody

I can say the bolded is not true for NY and Philly urban radios.
Real Slim Shady, Cleanin out My Closet, up to Lose Yourself all got heavy play on the hiphop stations.
The last Em song I can remember getting heavy radio play was Smack That.
Em was played on 106 and Rap City as well, not just TRL
