he aint no vulture you just a poser you rolling over should call you rover keep bending over im deleating folders untill they pull me over FOR STEALING COASTERS PALE LIKE SAMMY SOSA I NEED SOME MOISTER TO fukk MY SOFA
First off.. I been an Eminem/Shady Records fan since 2000. I remember everything. Yes, 50 was hot in the streets... But so we're other artists at the time. Everyone needed that "one" hit to put them over and 50 had that with In Da Club. Wanksta was a good buzz single but it wasn't "THEE" single. Wanksta isn't some international hit record. I'm pretty sure the real gateway fans forgot that song even existed.
And actually you're wrong. Most labels were trying to stay away from 50 after he got shot. 50 even said that himself. shyt, that's why Columbia dropped him. He had too much beef in the streets and labels wanted no parts with him. Plus he was getting blackballed by murder inc and that's why he got dropped from the J. Lo record and replaced with Nas.
Now stop dap fishing and picking fights lil nikkaI bet I just told you a whole bunch of shyt you ain't know.
Maybe you don’t remember how big wanksta was. It single handedly end Ja career.
Wouldnt suprise me if its actually eminem behind that poster on here that always makes thread about syllables and rhyming
if yo black ass put him anywhere near the top rappers of all time.
This. 50 had a huge buzz before In Da Club. It was the perfect storm. People remembered How To Rob. Got shot more times than Pac. The mixtapes. The Aftermath/Shady signing. All these things made GRODT one of the most anticipated albums ever. I will say that In Da Club sealed the deal tho and helped him surpass that buzz. That shyt made him a household name
I have never heard any kind of discussion about who deserves credit for "stan" besides The Coli.
As for Em basically being an underground rapper, with a mainstream budget due to his whiteness, that is true. But I don't think it was too many Emcee's, white or otherwise that you could have put in his place and gotten the same results with, it wasn't JUST that. He essentially did for the young white male, what 2pac did for the young black male which was embody their angst and frustration.
Had he signed to Rawkus and kept making the type of rap he was doing on Infinite, his ceiling woulda have been more like Mos Def and nobody would be so angry at him. But he got signed by Dre and backed by one of the biggest marketing machines...got asked to walk the line between being a pop star and a real MC, took the ball and ran with it that got people invested in who he was as a person.
Acknowledging that his sales and hype are inflated because or race doesn't negate his impact or his ability, it's about putting things in proper perspective. Pretending like there's no separation between him and Canibus is just as disingenuous as calling him the greatest rapper.
The inventor of basketball:
OP are all the black players vultures too makin millions off a 'white' game?
Em’s a culture vulture? For growing up in a black neighborhood? For starting a label and signing all black people? For starting a radio station that plays black music from black artists? For making a group full of his black homies he was putting on? For paying homage to the black artists who paved the way before him?
You can’t forgive or ignore the racist tapes at all, but it’s much more evidence of him NOT being a culture vulture than of evidence he is. There’s much much much more examples of culture vultures than Eminem, the guy who literally lays low and quiet unless he’s dropping music.
