Real spit by Nick.
We been sayin this tho. This is the reason Em forcefully was pushed by the machine. I mean 70% of the population in America is white, right? I've always believed Jimmy came up with the idea of Dre giving Em that "co-sign" for the reason Nick just mentioned (credibility + marketability).
Somehow his fanbase dont seem to realize this. But majority of them dont know or care about hip-hop tho & thats the problem. They know Em, who they prolly learned from TRL/MTV back when he was on there all the time back in '98/'99, that's about it.
Don't care what he releases or does they still coppin 100%. Thats fine, but dont dare speak about the actual culture or about who's the best then.
