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

[Sccit]

IN LA EVERY1 WAS FUCCIN WIT EM

 

[King Ming]

Imagine being a black man listening to Just Lose It

imagine that! was out in LA during that time period... never heard anyone around me play Eminem

 

[Sindicated]

The black support was how he got on with white folks

It wasn’t like today where you could just go entirely around the black community. White folks were bumpin Em cause he was getting burn from us. Why in the world do you think he made the Lean Back Remix?

It’s actually still like this, that’s why Post Malone came out with braids and a grill at first then switched up, same reason jack harlow has songs with Wayne, Dababy, and Chris Brown, Katy Perry made that track with juicy j, Taylor swift made that track with kdot etc white artist still need that Black stimulus, to be seen as cool and trendy.

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.

Yh you know nothing, Nas was a big deal with black women in the 90’s. Find me Eminem floating on similar songs you couldn’t, Nas was getting play amongst black people despite being lyrical you can’t compare him to Em, that’s the point.

This is big facts and ingredients to the formula ppl missing

Comparing apples and oranges
Brittney and Shakira are pop artists, Eminem was hiphop... white boy or popularity aside
U would hear Em right in the radio mix with Hov, X, Luda, Ja, Nelly, and all the big rap acts in the early 2000’s.
Shyt I think Em performed at the first BET awards too.

I remember NSync and later Gwen Stefani getting urban radio spins based off their Neptune production. Them being on 106 too. It was definitely a weird time.

I’m arguing breh saying Eminem got no spins on urban radio, which is not true at all.

Em got spins on Urban radio all the way up to Relapse, I remember hearing Crack A Bottle and We Made You but I didn't hear him on Urban radio after that, Recovery was the beginning of Pop Eminem.

When MM dropped, everyone was on Eminem. The shyt he was spitting after the first album drama was

Not many people can honestly say they weren't fukking with Em when MM dropped honestly

 

[Takerstani]

That's false. Being in Detroit at the time, Black people did support him before the 2000s, back when I was in high school. People on a big level didn't mess with or know him like that, if they weren't into that underground movement or exposed to his early music. When he started to blow up some of everyone hopped on. I messed with him in the early years, before he got exposed and became a cornball. The first people I heard about him from and heard listening to him were Black.

I'll never understand why some of y'all get so upset at da fact that a whole buncha us didn't fukk with no Eminem like that but it's very telling. I personally don't be pressed to listen to peckerwood raps.

 

[$cam-U-Well_Jack$on]

I dont know anyone that didn't have MMLP lol. Thecoli always on some weird history revisionist shyt.

Eminem was like that one white friend you got in your circle

I didn't. I've never owned an Eminem album in my life, asides from a few songs, never heard a full Eminem album or D12. And I don't listen to him now. Why y'all so pressed over this saltine is beyond me.

 

[Tom Foolery]

Meh, he was cool.

I think when Forgot about Dre dropped, that's when he started getting real respect. He even popped up on the Soundbomding 2 CD which was dope too.

But I've never seen Black people worship him like non-blacks do. They elevated him to God-like level.

Honestly eminem only has 3 good songs

Superman
Seduction
Stan

The rest can be dropped off in a volcano

 

[Premeditated]

what's the name of that song in the op?

I ain't heard that shyt since grade school

I stopped listening to Eminem around 04, right before HS. These corny white boys in my class were singing along to "I'm sorry mama" and put their gay spin into it, adding gay lyrics. that's when I had to reevaluate who I'm listening too.

Then you be dropping off a bunch of tracks that are better than these you’d keep. His entire catalog after the 8 Mile soundtrack should be going in there instead.

It’s actually still like this, that’s why Post Malone came out with braids and a grill at first then switched up, same reason jack harlow has songs with Wayne, Dababy, and Chris Brown, Katy Perry made that track with juicy j, Taylor swift made that track with kdot etc white artist still need that Black stimulus, to be seen as cool and trendy.

Post Malone was wearing booty shorts and failing at his country/techno hybrid music, THEN somebody set him in front of YouTube to study random black aesthetics and made him switch up. He’s an outlier though. Rap fans allowed him to come in, dip out, shyt on hip hop, then come right back when his non-rap genre stuff failed again. I don’t know how he got a pass to do that.

 

[Po pimp]

he was already on TRL before being serviced to black radio.

If Eminem was strictly served to white audiences, he would’ve never had any credibility in this rap shyt
