Kid Rock was put on by Too Short and was dropping rap songs years before Em put out an album.



Fred Durst /Limp Bizkit was sttuggle rapping on nu metal tracks a couple of years before Em dropped his first album [I'm not counting the Em stuff before SSLP].. You had acts like Rage and Beck doing it before them, he/they an extension of that not Em... tho I do agree that they exploited Em's fan base and were way more popular after his debut as a result


But they got big in the Eminem era….I didn’t say they began wit em or em started them out….I said they were able to stand soundly because of Em and who he became at the time

Definitely watching this but one thing I’ll say before I even see it is that those white boys that were huge limp Bizkit and korn fans 110% became Trump supporters

I think the aggressive feelings were always there in the American zeitgeist, it was just channeled differently in the early 90's with grunge Soundgarden, Nirvana etc...

Actually I wouldn't say rage, more like disillusionment from the Regan era.

It festered until it popped in the late 90's

You can tell by the types of movies that began to resonate from the mid 90's until the matrix.
When you look at the decade in totality, the 90's was quite bizarre
Metal was always aggressive regardless of what anybody else was doing

Megadeth and Rage Against the Machine had a super political and aggressive sound but just wasnt as hyped as a grunge band.

Rage actually was the blueprint for what Korn started to when they tried to implement hiphop with metal
