- Genre-busting appeal ... nikkas who don't even like hip hop ... feel the whiteboy
- 10+ years of chart toppers
- Still spitting 5 mic bangers like "don't front"
- Cultural influence ... founded the word "Stan"
- A real MC who paid his dues (underground grass roots movement, battle rapping, etc.)
- From a major metro area where hip hop is grounded in the culture
- Impoverished, came from nothing, broke, bullied, drug fiend mom, no dad, etc.
- Classic disses (Girls, Nail in the Coffin, The Sauce, Bully, Quitter)
- Respect from the O.G.s, Legacys, hip hop authorities, etc. (the white boy is in a lot of the legends top 5)
- Mainstream popularity (the best selling artist of the 21st century -- all genre's and countries included)
- 3 or 4 classics depending on who you ask
- Produced some memorable tracks (Nas, The Cross, the Original Bad Meets Evil track on SSLP, that Lloyd Banks melodic jam Till the End, etc.)
- Has murdered almost every MC he's on wax with
- Has LPs that critics rate amongst the all time musical greats (Beatles, Marvin Gaye, Micheal Jax, Bob Dylan, etc.)
The white boy is a legend and a goat worthy of any true hip hop heads top 5 ...
Even with his tragic fall off ... the initial work back in the 90s and early 00s displays a strong enough catalog for GOAT status.
... and don't forget the murdering of Kendrick Lamar's hype last year with 2 bars:
"Be a king? Think not / why be a king, when you can be a god!?"

Everybody knows a lot of this stuff and there are still going to be folks that disagree. Yes...Eminem is a very successful white rapper who fortunately is a very good at what he does, usually. Sounds to me like you want to taste him, breh. That's fine but not always appropriate to share. You can pm me about it if you'd really like to though.
