DISCUSSION - If Eminem was BLACK, would he be considered the greatest rapper of all-time?


In other words, do you think many people are hesitant to label Eminem as 'the greatest rapper of all-time' due to his white skin color?

<font color=teal>Not in my book.</font>

Of course not. Vanilla Ice is white, and he's regarded with respect to his talent.

He's not the greatest rapper of all time, because he's actually a pop star, not a rap star.

<font color=Silver>IMO, if Eminem was Black, he would look funny(ier that he does now)</font>

These days, what's the difference?

And half of his raps wouldn't exist. I mean, if he couldn't bitch about how he's discriminated against, he'd only have gays and women to bash...

If Eminem were black, he would barely be average.

<font color=Silver>I was sayin that he would look funny, i guess i should have put that</font> :-\

I'll admit that I listen to some of his stuff (Mostly his earlier stuff)

But saying that he is the greatest rapper of all time is a bit of a stretch to say the least.

People wont consider him the greatest rapper of all time because 1) Jay-Z is better 2) He has yet made that epic album and 3)He doesnt have much of a rap fanbase though. I still think he is one of the best rappers.

Correction:

AT LEAST Pac, Nas, Jay and Biggie are better.

and his fanbase are middleclass white kids who listen to pop and think Eminem is their "rebellion."

Eminem is better than Jay-Z, but I agree with Pac and Biggie. Nas is about equal IMO.

He might not be AS popular, but he'd still be pretty popular

I don't really like his stuff that much, but he obviously didnt get famous just because he is white. He has a pretty good flow, just really not my style.

I don't really think so. I don't think he can ever be the greatest. I like his style. I like his kind of rap music. But, you just can't compare him to Pac and Biggie. :y:
