Eminem Says Nas and Treach Almost Made Him Quit Rapping

[Starburst]

I ain’t moving any goalposts.

You said

Em should’ve made more music with his influences instead of going pop. Might’ve been taken more serious.

I said

Taken more serious by whom? What a clownish thing to say. The guy is the best selling rapper of all time. Period. Everybody who is anybody that means something in hiphop has always shown respect and admiration for Eminem. Every. Single. Legend.

So again, taken serious by whom?

 

[QU Hectic]

He's always admired Treach. If I'm not mistaken, He mimics off of Yoke The Joker.

Yes. He has talked about this for years.

By fans. Not everyone likes the music he makes. You don’t see the criticism he gets for making music with Skylar Grey all the time?

Didn't he win an award recently and name over 100 rappers he's grateful to?

To repeat. The guy is the best. selling. rapper. of. all. time. Not sure why you’re not understanding that. Who cares who doesn’t like his music. The reality is he is going to selling platinum almost every. single. time.

That was the rock n roll HOF induction.

 

[Metal Face]

too bad he didn't

 

[SunZoo]

too bad he didn't

The answer I was waiting for lol

 

[Trajan]

yep.. Eminem has more respect for the culture and history of hip hop than 95% of black rappers

He's of a certain age. People in his age bracket e.g Nas, Fat Joe, Nore cite people they listened to which is now seen as the classic age of hip hop.

They came up when the cultural aspect was strong with the breakdancing, graffiti etc

Who cares what he sold, it’s because he made mainstream rap music that the obvious white fanbase eat up. He didn’t make pure hip hop records with DJ Premier or Havoc or Public Enemy. He made shock value rap. Dissing pop stars and he basically made music with them afterwards. He contracted himself. And you’re mentioning sales like it matters

 

[Formerly known as...]

Say what u want about him but he gives props and respect where it's due.

I respect em for that. Solid.

Dude loves Hip hop and has deep knowledge of it. He loves this shyt

When the culture vulture knows more about the culture than the ppl calling him a culture vulture

Who cares about any of that? Again, everybody who is anybody that means something in hiphop has always shown respect and admiration for Eminem. Every. Single. Legend. Why you don’t understand that, I don’t know.

 

[Stick Up Kid]

Yeah but ask him to recite their music and discuss the history of hiphop. I’m sorry but Y’all give Jay-Z way too much credit around here.
