Royce and Crooked basically did:Surprised Royce aint jump on it earlier lol
Has Em made a true sounding hip hop album? Not various tracks but come on, conventional hardcore hip hop?
Closest to it is his debut pre shady! Where he is channelling his AZ/Nas impression lol
“If I was black, I would’ve sold half.” - Eminem on said Eminem Show.I have NO idea how anyone can listen to Infinite, SSLP, and Eminem Show (I understand MMLP, the content was too wild) and not walk away like “this dude is amazing”
That’s what Hip Hop as a whole is saying while everybody else is making it about race. Dude’s skill set is ridiculous.

Eminem has a great skill set but he’s a white gut being forced into GOAT discussions predominantly by people who are not the primary demographic that creates that art. It’s like if I and a bunch of black dudes sat down and said someone was the best Native American storyteller. The optics alone would look crazy. People feel compelled to put Em on these lists to not look racist because his skill set and record sales are undeniable but his actual content and music don’t resonate years later the way others have. He’s like Jackass. I watch that shyt as an adult and it’s awkward.
If you listen to music in some sort of robotic fashion I guess but even if that’s the case, you’re calling a guy a GOAT who literally has not had a good album in 21 years. The mere fact that is even entertained is white privilege.
