I mean there's such thing as negative cultural impact
The message board that refuses to give Eminem even the slightest bit of props is in no position to be judging "cultural impact."
MMLP and 8 Mile have had probably the biggest cultural impact of the past 10, 15 years.
Threads like these are just an excuse for trolls to shyt on popular albums they don't like, and try to pretend they don't matter.
Yawn.

eminem was already eminem before 2001 dropped. eminem saved dre actually.
nobody cared about kanye's drums. its the soul-sampling that blew him up.
those older people that shuffle & line dance to that song dont give a f*ck about outkast or hip-hop. younger people like the song, but not on that level.
i didnt claim that those comments in particular were lies & agenda-filled, but i wouldnt be surprised since half of these rappers' cosigns arent genuine. and thats neither here nor there seeing that we're talking about cultural impact. not industry props.
i'll name 5 rappers after you admit that you were talking out of pocket & mis-informed.
is THAT really hard?
My bad. Seemed longer than that. I'm not a fan of his, so I don't pay attention to stuff like that.a decade ago, spotlight dropped 4-5 years ago
I'm not gonna play games with you man. If you want to name names do it. If not, don't.i'll name 5 rappers after you admit that you were talking out of pocket & mis-informed.

YOU ARE playing games.
youre trying to use me as a pawn so you can save face.
how you gonna throw me under questioning when YOURE the one that went off-topic and made that bold statement?
Name names.
you clearly dont comprehend the premise of the thread. this isnt about albums that you do or dont like.
but obviously, you'd never understand since you think that emimen had the biggest cultural impact
of the past 15 years.
1) There's no way you could possibly know this, therefore it's speculation.
2) It's beside point. Dude claimed that Speakerboxxx/Love Below had no impact on Black culture. I merely gave an example of how it did.
As for 2001 and it's impact on Eminem's career, Eminem wasn't selling 10 million copies before 2001. After 2001, his fanbase grew significantly. More so than anything, 2001 gave Eminem credibility. You're saying Eminem saved Dre, but they both helped each other. Where was Eminem's career prior to Dre signing him? I'll wait...
As for Kanye's drums, anybody with any ounce of knowledge of Hip Hop production knows that without nice sounding drums, a soul sample doesn't do much. On top of that Kanye admitted what him biting the drums from "Xxplosive" did for his career.
Lastly, even if you take away the points about Em and Kanye, there's still other things culturally significant about 2001.
Come on man. CULTURAL IMPACT is what we are talking about.
Eminem was never that. No amount of plaques can change that. And yes he has bars but culture impact?
College Dropout impacted the culture more than Eminems whole discography.
I agree with the College Dropout statement. While I agree, MMLP is the only Eminem album that had a cultural impact. It was one of those albums that had content that rubbed people the wrong way to the point that he had interest groups protesting and lobbying against his music. No it wasn't the first Hip Hop album to do that, but it had been a minute since a Hip Hop album did that to that magnitude.
