I'm always down for a good Eminem bashingEminem. Whiteboy from Warren, MI claiming Detroit. Rocks durags publicly for over a decade. Surrounds himself with black men he didn’t grow up around and who wouldn’t be around him if he was an industry plant. Marketed as more authentic than Vanilla Ice. Em was a record label marketer’s wet dream. It was like the Adam Sandler CD’s having a b*stard child with old 3rd Bass and Beastie Boys records. They realized suburban white folks were the primary buyers of rap music in the late 90’s. So they created a more vulgar Weird Al Yankovich to relate better to masses of white teenagers who actually physically bought records at corporate owned music stores.
50 cent certified as fukk ...50 Cent & 2Pac were bigger stars and are more fraudulent

Forreal though, his whole Slim Shady persona was obviously coached by industry folks. Em sounded like a bootleg AZ on Infinite. He wanted to be respected as a rapper’s rapper and taken seriously like Nas. But record company people saw Adam Sandler and Weird Al doing real numbers going plat off the strength of goofy middle schooler humor.I'm always down for a good Eminem bashing

I already dispelled this. He started out with the rap name "Willow"Naw Ross gets a pardon on behalf of:
Trilla
Deeper Than Rap
Black Dollar
Rich Forever
Rather U Than Me
Teflon Don
His persona was so over the top it was actually not possible for it to be real, lol
Not to mention he took Freeway Ricky Ross name from jump.
...So he was always "a character"
i didn't hold Ross to the same standard i held Jeezy and Boosie.
