A sellout white rapper.
Like most sell-outs he has a gimmick. Slim Shady. He pulls the blinds over his fans by claiming that he goes against the grain of corporate media. In fact, he does the exact opposite. He was on TRL. He was on EM Tv. He has mountains of cash. Yet, he still goes on album, after album to tell us how hard he has it. He realized that by telling us, its all a joke, or its from the heart or he doesn't mean what he says... teenagers will immediately accept him. Most, young white suburbanites got their introduction into hip hop through eminem. Most of them claim to be hip hop heads, because they listened to him and like him.
Unfortunately, those who grew up through the golden era can see right through him. You see a long time ago, there was a man named Vanilla Ice. He claimed to be hardcore ond from the street. He also got hooked on drugs. As a result, people found he was fake and told him to f-off.
Like Vanilla Ice, Eminem raps about and says things he would never do. In his entire career he has never fought anyone or murdered anybody. In fact, he has never broken a nail. He has abused his parents enough, but claims to like them. He solves his problems by exploiting others for the fast cash, but would never diss a credible MC. And, contrary to what people believe, he is not psycho or insane. He is very normal and a good business man. He criticizes his label and talks about how miserable he is. Yet, he is shaking hands with everyone that hurt hip hop. I mean all the coporate c*ck suckers of today.
He claims to accept the title of best rapper alive. Yet, all of his albums have not scored higher than 80 on Metacric. A majority of his albums are actually below 70. Essentially, his highest ranking album never even matched the best albums of other rappers.
What does eminem think of all this? Well, judging by his last MV, where he insults micheal jackson and other celebrities. Not much...
Whatever magic eminem had... People question if it was really magic or a giant corporate scheme. He claimed not to be played on MTV and the radio. Yet, the most highly played artists in rotation... I guess the joke is on us...
Eminem has sold out. But, he is great, because he is one of the most successful sellouts in hip hop history. As someone who grew up in the golden era, I would be safe to say that this guy would have been torn to shreds in the past.

My mom, there's no one else quite like my mom.
I know I should let bygones be bygones,
but she's the reason why I am high on what I'm high on.
- Eminem... a millionaire... at age 36 on relapse
