RELAPSE WAS MUCH BETTER THAN ENCORE
THOSE ACCENTS WERE TRASH THO.
The production and concept were really good. The accents ruined some of the replay value though. Encore had some moments but that is one of worst albums right next to Revival.

I clearly remember hearing those on the radio mixes lol
As for 'street' nikkas, at least where I'm at, they were into nikkas like Lynch, Luni, Killa Tay and a whole host of super duper wack (in my opinion) rappers who rapped about the shyt they did 24/7. Most mainstream rappers were an afterthought, Em included. No different than Kendrick in this era.
How what these types of nikkas listen to became the end all be all of hip hop historical accounts of everything valid is beyond me. Kinda seems like some message board shyt that nikkas resort to for daps.

I recall him not really gettin' that much love when the Slim Shady album dropped, but then the Marshall Mathers album happened and it got him in the mix, and from there thru the '03 50 Cent wave and the Ja Rule beef, we were rockin' with him. Then it died out when that Encore album dropped and that was that. So it was like a slid 3 years, 2000 to '03. He was never a top favorite with black people but we weren't mad at him. Even then, some shyt just didn't fly- I don't know one nikka who went for that D12 album or cared about his Christina Aguilera/Limp Bizkit/Moby beefs

You just posted zero NAS songs. Excellent way to shift the goal posts doofus. The women who love these songs more than likely don't even know Nas is featured on those. My whole point of mentioning Nas is that he's lyrically respected and doesn't necessarily make songs that ring off like that. We're talking about a regular public setting, not The Tunnel in NY in 1994.
Eminem had videos on BETs 106 and Park in the early 2000s. I remember and know for a fact lose yourself and cleaning out my closet we’re both 1 or 2 on the top 10 countdown on 106 and park

Black people fukked with Eminem back then 
Dzali OG
Dz Ali OG...Pay me like you owe me!
It's complicated but lemme breakdown the truth...
We fukked with him...but we didn't listen to his music.
We gave him props as being probably the best "technical" lyricist. Bit for black people it has always been about more than technique!
If his song came in the cd rotation, we listened to it like
. There was actual skill in that ridiculous stuff he was saying.
So I was trappin then, and we'd discuss rappers, and his name would get bought up as top 5...but...don't pit his music on please! It was weird...hard-core, killer nikkas gave him his props...but weren't listening to his music.
Plus he was a victim of the hip hop landscape changing. The beginning of OD image worship. Where it was more about your image, than lyrics.

im not doubting that at all. Just like I also remember Bow Wow being the king of 106 end park I was already 18-21 during this time.
I can also say that when 8 mile dropped we went to see it but that was more so because it was a rap movie. Lastly once 50 cent came out I damn sure had moved on from Eminem. Em just simply wasn’t as popular amongst us as he was in comparison with his primary demographic. Which is understandable. Most of the females were thirsting over Nelly, Jay had his lane and you also had cash money and a few other acts. Even in Detroit they had their own artist and I’m even including ICP who had huge followings.

Back in those hyper critical days i wouldn’t have wanted to be the one nikka playing Eminem in the whip or some place that could be heard in public. nikkax might have attempted to try you lol
@Kliq_Souf you’re right...I forgot without me & cleaning out my closet got played on Hot 97 too but...
I remember Flex used to play this too...was Brit Brit a fixture on the block, parties or clubs? lol
I also remember 106 & Park premiering once upon a time...
If I’m not mistaking people “voted” for it too a couple of times as well. Did the hip swivel have the block clicking? lol
My point is the business of Eminemwill always be a conversation in itself.
In Brooklyn and the places throughout the city I traveled you just flat out didn’t hear that shyt. Maybe in headphones but in public?
Absolutely not

I been official
In middle school and high school everyone listened to him, not some super fan shyt but it was new and sounded good, then he made Encore my sophmore year and it was over, turned super corny overnight
Funny shyt is all the 'backpackers' that supposedly accounted for his black fanbase weren't really into Eminem anymore by the time he blew up,

didn't back then and I still don't today....don't get me wrong he's nice, but he's way overrated and he gets props mostly for not being vanilla ice.
