These dumbasses don’t even realize the man himself agrees that his race played a factor in his success

I didn't graduate from Lincoln Highschool buddy

That your point is irrelevant and dumb

It’s not an irrelevant point when discussing the guy’s commercial success. Yes, him being white absolutely gave him privilege in the hip-hop space when paired with his immense talent. If you disagree you are dumb as bricks

Nigga probably thinks Taylor Swift is as successful as she is because she’s just that good

"gave him privilege" in hip-hop, like he hasn't released some classic albums? you act like Em is some DEI artist. Yeah no s*** being white helps in America, a racist country, Sherlock. But you arguing, "IF EM WAS BLACK HE WOULD SELL LESS" yes no s*** because he wouldn't even be Eminem at that point

Emotional ass kid lol

Says the one arguing with people about Eminem’s whiteness giving him an advantage commercially

If it’s no s*** then what the f*** are your panties in a twist about? Shut the f*** up and move on

And Eminem’s discography has been garbage for the better part of 20 years yet he still does numbers because he’s white

If you learned to read you would realize that's not the point I'm arguing but yeah reading comprehension doesn't seem to be your strong suit

You're literally the one that quoted me first lmfao

Because you said some stupid ass s***

"what the f*** are your panties in a twist about? Shut the f*** up and move on"

Who else did this? Did Taylor Swift do it this year ?

You’re arguing that it’s irrelevant because it’s a “no s***” issue

You say I can’t read yet you’re disagreeing with the guy who has literally rapped about his race giving him an advantage over other artists

Yet you’re still responding

Eminem stans in 2025

I don’t think his race had anything to do with his success

Some of his subject matter does change for sure if he wasn’t white and that could impact how big some of his songs got but like ultimately he got there based on his talent and songwriting. If anything, him being a white rapper likely made it harder for him to be taken seriously when he was trying to make it. Even Dre admitted he was told by execs and his friends to not sign Em because of his race

Goat s***

Plenty of white rappers have come and gone since Em. Forget eye to eye—none have even reached his ankles in terms of popularity, skills, catalog and respect in hip hop culture.

Of course being white helped his popularity. But he was also one of a kind. One of the best MCs regardless of skin color.

KTT the last 15 years has loved much worse white rappers lol

Prince did

Apparently that group KPOP Demon Hunters just did

i cant stand his music for the most part cause it has a very dates sound imo but "lose yourself" is the definition of classic, goosebumps everytime

Theres no way that person believes race hasnt been a factor in eminems success.

Even this decade NF, Suicideboys, Jelly Roll. Have all had success due to whiteness without being accepted by hiphop.

once again no proof but they def went all in on hooking em on all types of d**** when he started doing all that anti bush anti government s***. the quality of his output has absolutely nosedived since then and afterwards he could only focus on keeping himself together as a person and not larger politics except maybe throwing jabs at easier targets such as trump

I don’t think his race had anything to do with his success

And the conversation stops here
