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.
