Chasing The Dragon
I can only speak for myself, my outside experiences and peers and I'm not deep in streets but we did not fukk with Em like that in the sense where we would buy albums, go to his shows or have posters on the wallsaying Em wasnt really respected is a false narrative.
People stopped fukking with him after Eminem show...his albums were bad.
But before then...yes, people were fukking with him
Me and my people and any white friend I had fukked with Dre heavy, shyt one of my white friends used to borrow my Chronic CD all the time.. Dre gave him an intense boost
My underground friends knew of him through Infinite....and we all said he sound like you know who if you heard the album
He is just OK...he is a solid rapper..he is a horrible hip hop artist I don't care about recond sells .. in the art of Hip-hop he is Solid/OK
Besides that...it's obvious they would push the fukk out of him and have him Julius Caesar the culture regardless if we think Em is with it or not
I refuse to cosign anything that would have the powers that be white out our real hip hop elites
Side bar El-P > Em
Royce then > Em
Royce now > Em
