Benzino: If Eminem was Black, he wouldn't be a Superstar. His whiteness was his novelty

[Toe Jay Simpson]

He’s right but not in a way we should be proud of

Black Thought might literally be the best rapper alive and no one bats an eye at him

What do you mean? I think Black Thought is very well known and successful at this point.

EDIT: Has less than 1M followers.

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

All them corny I want to kill my mother and wife raps wouldn’t have gotten anywhere if he wasn’t white

So folks was like and then they said "...well, after all he is a cac "

 

[The BasedFather]

This is 100% facts. I’m from Detroit and no one fukks with Eminem here except the trashy white people looking for a Great White Hope. Dude is Garbo.

How about Boldy?

 

[Scustin Bieburr]

That's kind of his 'thing' every artist needs to stand out in some way. If he were black he'd just be an off-brand tech n9ne

But who's fault is that??

If Black folks don't support talented Black artist we can't blame other people.

Benzino is just hating. Damn dude let it go. I don't even fukk with Marshall like that but damn.

 

[Mr. Glass]

I mean, he does have HOF skills too.

 

[TheAnointedOne]

We (black) create
They (steal)

And when they do it, it's always, "OMG ADELE IS SO AMAZING", "OMG ELVIS IS SO AMAZING"

Look at these eyes, baby blue, baby just like yourself, if they were brown, Shady lose, Shady
Sits on the shelf, but Shady's cute, Shady knew, Shady's dimple's would help, make ladies swoon
Baby, {ooh baby}, look at my sales, let's do the math, if I was black, I would've sold half, I
Ain't have to graduate from Lincoln high school to know that,

Em said it himself 20 years ago

 

[Dwight Howard]

Disagree, Dr. Dre wasn't missing back then. He'd have far fewer fans but the Dre co-sign was pretty heavy back then, plus dude could actually spit and make songs

 

[Dwayne_Taylor]

No black rapper could get away with rapping about hating his mother, let alone become famous for it

 

[Concerned Citizen]

He’s 1000% right. If Em was black dude wouldn’t have been the novelty act that he was (in addition to being a great lyricist) nor would he have had the exposure that he got. Straight up rock channels were playing his music too because they were on code.

The proof is you had black MCs rapping about horrorcore, shock rap topics before and after Eminem and none of them really blew up off that lane. Three 6 Mafia and Bone Thugs had to switch up to be accepted. Not to mention Grave Diggaz and others.

Nas was the first
"When I was twelve, I went to Hell for snuffin' Jesus · Nasty Nas is a rebel to America · Police murderer, I'm causin' hysteria"-Live at the BBQ; though he became more mature with his lyrics and direction by his first album

Big L was the closest and that was posthumously. He rapped about rapes, being the devil's son, and getting nothin Butt-Head

 

[8WON6]

I 100% agree with the thread title.

If Eminem was black he'd be a novelty like Afro-Man.
