The sales argument? Really?
With the exception of a few songs, there is nothing relatable about the album to the mainstream.
He became so successful because he was a marketable white rapper who wasn't terrible.
first off,..horror is the top profit generating genre in the top profit building arena of film.
so, yeah...
Eminem has to have sales featured, because he actually broke down the wall to create a draw.
that was platinum, and previous so defunct,..no one else in the foreseeable future was ever going to reverse it.
if Eminem does not come along...there are no white rappers.
let alone, white rappers, with skill or any platform to draw in.
Eminem SINGLE-HANDIDLY created that draw, himself....
plus, put the draw of actually having skills to the forefront, of his draw.
as opposed to the jiggy movement which was based on demeaning and ruining the industry and culture.
Eminem, was the first fully actualized culture based emcee on all planes for a major label signed artist for that gen.
above mos, jay, and any others that were relevant.
who also,..used that culturized connection along with a commercial viability that was culturally bulletproof.
Eminem earned his record deal and sales, breh.
by creating and using the sales based model, that had no actual rubrick at all.
plus,
after losing to juice, Eminem eclipsed any and all talent.
consistently on every record feature, he dropped, in a row.
that reads like a who's who, of greats.
which featured all his contemporaries who were relevant culturally, or skillwise comparable.
or in some relateable draw from a grassroots to commercial/pop campaign.
Eminem earned his sales,.....
he was destined to flop before, the brilliance of my name is saved him.
as, my name is was a sslp relaunch of his originally failed draw.
on the opening inferior sslp remix single to, the original, ssep release, i just don't give a fukk.
Eminem was going to flop before, my name is came out, breh.
Eminem earned that shyt off actually making the type of product that was that dope and edgy.
nobody could fukk with him skillwise in that pocket of 99 to mmlp.
his advance was lightyears ahead of what others were putting together.
i still remember banging the advanced shortened still don't give a fukk...
which was so dope.....nobody could knock a shortened song advanced song out the box.
he had the pedigree, actualized skill and experience to serve anybody not named juice convincingly, breh.
nobody else in rap can say that,..as they did not risk what Eminem did.
plus, he was white when originally that shyt was a deathmark.
Eminem, removed the deathmark from being white.....
he made being white a draw...it wasn't because he was white he sold.
if that was the case,..then my name is and his whole entire everything would have never had to be switched up to sell.
Eminem was slated to be another dre failure, for aftermath.
after i just don't give a fukk dropped.
my name is saved his draw, and his astonishing skill/content that was supplied.
created Eminem from just being another ignored white cat, with the deathmark.
