Eminem is not only trash, but has become one of the “founding fathers” if you let a lot of people tell it. Clark Kent was just on Maths show talking about how no one does their research about the pillars/foundations, and it’s prevalent in the way that people nowadays actually talk about Eminem like he is on Rushmore. He opened up the culture to a lot of gentrification, and definitely helped expand the fan base of rap, but, for every 10 fans he “created”, 9 of them have done nothing but hurt or abandon the culture, and 10 out of 10 of them dot know the difference between rap and hip hop.
