Only thing Eminem did after Pac died was become the next universally accpepted white rapper. He aint done shyt to bring the West back. West was already there and popping.
OP has a valid point. B please was huge but without eminem we all know 2001 wouldnt have been what it was ..
You take Eminem off of 2001 and its still a west coast classic.
You guys forget the album was hyped off of Dre and Snoop reuniting for Still D.R.E.? This was well before most peeps even knew eminem would be on the album. That collaboration alone propelled the album,not Eminem.
You nikkas just pulling randoms opinions out ya asses.
Your missing the point. Without tracks such as "guilty conscience" or "my name is" there wouldn't have been that huge hype for a new dre album. Em did a lot for 2001,I'm sure he wrote verses for dre.
The fact is without the 2 white boys in em and storch dre prob wouldn't have dropped a classic![]()

Eminem revitalized West-Coast hip-hop post-Tupac. Period. It follows a simple chain of events.
Tupac dies. Death Row falls apart. Dr. Dre's Aftermath label is shaping up to be a bust. Snoop Dogg's career is facing downward, and the focus of hip-hop shifts back the East Coast.
Dre signs Eminem in 1998 and suddenly his career is back on track. SSLP drops to widespread commercial success. Building off the fresh buzz of his latest recruit, Dre releases 2001, helping to bring west-coast hip hop back to the forefront of rap and keep alive the careers of Snoop Dogg and Nate Dogg among others.
Dre then went on to sign Game and Kendrick, two of the biggest west-coast hip hop artists of the last decade.
Boom.
