    Believe it or not, sales do matter in legendary talk.

    In 50 - 100 years when talk of hip hop takes place, Eminem's name will be brought up and his record sales within our art form will be mentioned.

    The one white boy that came in our culture and became the best selling rapper of all time and the second best selling solo artist of all time behind Garth Brooks.

    43 million albums cannot be easily reproduced. The way of the world means a white boy can use hip hop to do this. White privilege.

    And he only managed this by directly appealing to the WW pop audience by sending shots at popular artist of that particular time. White people found it amusing. More white privilege.

    Please remember, a black rapper couldn't go at Britney Spears and Taylor Swifts without a major backlash and probably ending his/her career.

    I can't get into Eminem, but he couldn't have managed it if he couldn't hold his own as a rapper.

    The boy can rap, he's white and he found a way into pop culture.

    Yeah but not as high as his white washed fanbase thinks.

    Eminem has had a Charlie Sheen-ish career. He did some things, cause some scandals, but he really never had a classic movie.

    to the people who go outside hes had classic albums

    dumb ? logic like this killed the IC

    SSLP, others like MMLP//eminem show

    if tupacs "All Eyez on Me" filler galore album can be considered a classic on the IC one of those albums is certainly a classic

    racism and personal grudges blind you hermits

    Before Eminem who was rapping/singing about regular everyday average person issues like parenting, depression, family troubles, welfare backround, love, marriage

    Then u have other regular content rappers rapping/singing about the same content like Kid Cudi, B.o.B

    Never heard of 2pac what about all the countless rappers that came before him that did the same/similar thing

    Eminem show (his 4th) was his best album to me. His other projects weren't bad. He played around a lot for the other albums and then he got into that super hero rap ? . But I still ? with it

    There's a difference be between "hottest rapper" and legendary rapper. Eminem was hot for a minute. He a dope lyricist. When u say legend, though, your music has to be timeless. Tell me which one of yall ? is bumping "my name is"??

    really thats the song u pick? i can still bump MMLP and the Eminem show like it came out yesterday. i can rap all the lyrics to alot of his songs. stop being a hater

    he did just as much for the art form as jayz, if not maybe more. he created the first hiphop channel on satellite radio pushing the genre forward. His music broke barriers and milestones in hiphop. He put on 50 (another legend) and allowed him also to push the genre forward.

    None of that ? changed how anybody spit and his radio station was not the first hip-hop based station. What barriers?? Hip-hop was popular among whites before him.
