Because if you're from the hood you wouldnt have listened to eminem at his peak
when he was on LSD mushrooms and Ecstasy. Similar to how Canibus wow'ed everyone when he came onto the scene
technically, Marshall was right up there with him but in a different lane. He had a very acid rap Big L thing going on...
then the background came out, then the Dre shyt... then the first 2 albums were perfect setting
The difference is these guys want to be rappers and Eminem was a rapper. He was extremely underground and gritty
but could still manage to pull off polished pop songs and concepts. Beyond genre or race, the MAIN reason why cats
are garbage is because not everyone can write songs. Alot of people are just rapping to be rapping and not able to craft
a real song, let alone ... produce and sequence a full length album. The novelty runs thin the past 15 or so years because
you just get nikkas rapping about whatever. Wayne fukked the game up by being so good at free flow lines... now everyone
tries to just hit that stride with free thought rapping. But even he can craft remarkable concepts and cohesive albums. There's a saying
that ties all this together, it goes "Stay in your lane". NF can rap, but besides being white he doesnt bring anything to the table. Similar
to most white rappers, stating that you're white isnt an excuse for notoriety. They get hung up on that being their image instead of thinking
about creating and writing dope shyt. There's a thin line you can walk to be in the zone... Snoop is the zone, Ras Kass is fringe zone because
he doesnt stay in his lane, DMX is the zone... bizzy bone is out of the zone. The difference is, we know Snoop and DMX's ups and down's
and they play into that (Snoop) or it just works even if its bad (DMX) Bizzy alike Joe Budden are respected but one is in the zone and one isnt
Joe writes about the stories we hear, and makes it epic and a picture. Bizzy was in the zone and let the demons surrounding himself turn off
most listeners, instead of using that zone to build off of. DMX is like Bizzy except he rides the zone better, we know he's battling demons so
we tune in. Most white rappers have appeal to the zone but then offer absolutely nothing afterwards.
