He never won any despite the FACT of him spitting written bars during the freestyle era. He lost every major battle back then and was already signed BEFORE the rap olympics on some plant shyt.
:patrice: there are some pretty old and grainy videos on youtube of him battle rapping in the 90's way before his deal

I know he didn't win ALL of them but he won some, and was respected...he definitely made a name for himself through battling

not some vanilla ice/MC hammer industry shyt is all i'm saying.

cool thing about being white is you can do whatever, but if your black theres an issue

i was serious about what i said earlier man

black rappers have to go through hoops man. i mean major hoops, they need X hundred thousands of views, X hundreds and thousands of followers

then they dissect their mixtape downloads and radio plays...

K-camp got a deal AFTER he was on tour off his free mixtape...THEN the labels came calling.

this dude bypassed all of that shyt (just like iggy and macklemore) and went straight to the top off of one song.

and XXL, The Source, Breakfast Club, Hot 97, VIBE - all of them just let the shyt happen. we don't run hip hop anymore man. it belongs to the hipsters.

dude makes hot music now, it aint too deep brah. not everything needs to be examined and shyt.
This.

Plus dude has the elusive Ye cosign
you can have your opinion, but you can't make up your own facts:

eminem was stamped by hip hop legends, and was touring the country winning rap battles WAAAAY before "slim shady" dropped

just like post malone had 0 mixtapes or buzz but is signed to a major? touring with justin beiber?

whiz khalifa, drake, asap rocky, chance the rapper - all had classic mixtapes and worked their way up

mr minecraft here just slid right in past all of them :mjlol:


Eminem built his way up. Can't compare him to alot of rappers of this generation these days. The bar for entry back then was much higher than it is now.

Did you just come home or something? Rappers have been blowing up off the strength of one song since Soulja Boy. Macklemore was in the underground for over a decade, Trinidad James & Bobby Shmurda were not.
