"Black Ppl Didnt fukk With Eminem In The Early 2000s" - The Coli

[Keengcong]

Eminem...

 

[Master Teacher]

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

Smack that, is Akon's song

106 and Rap City are video shows

Cleaning out my closet was never on rotation on ubran radio, it was on the pop stations, says Way I am, and all his other singles

clear channel owned all the radio stations back then it wasn't no different

What exactly do you consider urban radio? Cause 97.9 in Houston has been an urban radio station for more than 30 years and Cleaning Out My Closet very well was getting a lot of non-pop radio play.

I already said people liked him. And you way off about Nas

Alright, let's just say we're 18 in 2005, what Nas songs besides Street Dreams, If I Ruled The World, Made You Look, and Oochie Wally are ringing off at random functions and clubs? Maybe Hate Me Now?

Hell I'm pretty sure Eminem was on a couple screw tapes as well

 

[Somebody]

i was 9 and he catered to kids, so he gets nostalgia burn from me. never heard an adult listening when i was that age and i've never played his music in public

 

[Chip Skylark]

I don't listen to him, now.

But, we might have been my favorite rapper the summer of 2000...but, I was 12.

This!!! When I was 11 the hype around him and the crazy ass videos and lyrics wowed me.

but post 50 reign and as I grew older I’m not trying to hear him

Black people has always acknowledged Em could rap but we were never his demographic and Em knows that which is why his first singles were always the worst off the wall shock value shyt

I don’t get what OP is trying to do

 

[re'up]

While I didn't fukk with him, a lot of people did. Some of the most "street" kids at my middle school were playing Eminem "The Way I Am", in 1999/2000 he was a nationwide sensation, a once in a lifetime artist.

 

[invincible1914]

He did a lot of songs about hating his mama, and people my way wasn’t feeling that.

Lol @ tryna use anecdotal evidence to prove a point.

TO BE CONTINUED...





EDIT:



​

I didn't know any nikkas who listened to him.

I'm telling you that you not remembering right

8 mile soundtrack was huge Lose yourself and cleaning out your closet was everywhere

so you had to heard it, it was not rotation on ubran radio ever

do you know what rotation, that means they played in the program reguarly, Eminem's music has never been on rotation on urban radio

No it wasn't, it was it wouldn't be any debate

nobody will say still tippin wasn't in rotation, because it obviously was

Eminem shyt ain't never been on rotation on urban radio ever

he always been a pop artist, if your Lose Yourself wasn't in rotation on urban radio why the hell would the second single be

yall need to stop with this

 

[$cam-U-Well_Jack$on]

I don’t know anyone black that listens to Eminem in real life

Me neither.

 

[Loose]

Black folks respected him, he definitely wasn't top listened to artist for people i know growing up. Only time i remember black people bumping a Eminem song was renegade
