None of this college paper you just typed up proves he's the GOAT, besides maybe being the GOAT of cac rappers. I'm not arguing that he didn't break the door down for cacs. I'm just arguing that he's not the GOAT by a long shot. He has way too many trash albums in his discography to be that and no 5 mic albums either (SSLP and MMLP are both 4.5 and that's being generous)
But I also don't agree that no white person would ever be allowed to rap again after Vanilla Ice, because they were. There was a stigma to bein a cac rapper for a bit, sure., but you still had the Beasties, you had Miilkbone (one hit wonder or not), you had a bunch of underground rappers with buzz like El-P, Cage, Necro, etc. and then most importantly you had all that rap rock shyt like Limp Bizkit and Kid Rock which was HUGE when Em first dropped. Em made it more acceptable maybe, but what you're saying are some huge reaches
I never said anything about being the goat.
I don't even think you really read anything I wrote and tried to actually assume you knew wtf my response was. When it is obvious you speaking out of turn and have no idea about eminem's origins and mythos. Let alone any idea about actual hip hop culture. Plus what white emcees were taken as.
Milkbone was never culturally endorsed in any grassroots manner ever. Not to mention Pete rock took hella flack and imo, he never recovered from that obvious sprite I wanna be commercial run as well.
You the only idiot who trying to discuss an artist.
who been on for twenty two years.
Then trying to act like you know when anyone in the know.
Knows you do not hip hop history at all as how it pertains to Eminem and white rappers at all.
Eminem is how fard and others took hhi.com and fake champion elp and the garbage that is company flow on a racist based ideal. Which then became emo and spawned the impact of atmosphere's distribution deal.
to create what authenicated yeezy being green lit.
Yet and still.
Before Eminem in the po ket after vanilla ice. If not for Eminem.
There would be no white rappers allowed period.
You can say differently but I know you were not in the scene like that. I know the exception to the rule but that person was around and a real emcee. Predating vanilla ice as well.
I can name the said culture based underground white emcee.
who was a real bbpy and could nav the scene.
Other than him, no white cats on the mic were allowed period after vanilla ice.
Trying to even mention someone being white and them being accepted on the mic.
outside of mike treece of mass hysteria before and after vanilla ice. Other than mike treece, was ec illa.
back then he was looked at as racially ambigious because of the times as well.
Other than that,....
You would not get a white rapper accepted culturally after vanilla ice before Eminem period.
