How big in pop culture was Eminem at his peak?

Not that big. School kids with rat-tails listened to him and nobody else cared.

He's been a giant faggot at all stages of the mountain. What a goddamn faggot. Hip-hop and rap are nothing more than aggressive and yet monotone lyrics, set to simplistic beats and melodies. They take very little skill or hard work to create and are subsequently enjoyed by those with no appreciation of skill or hard work.
Also, hip-hop and rap tend to be something of a catalyst for violent acts committed by these unintelligent, uninspired, unskilled and lazy people (mostly men). Ironically, were one to resort to violence in an attempt to remove said-problem (I can think of a few who'd be first to go), this would negate the argument, entirely. So, the rest of us just put up with hip-hop, rap and their followers.

There are so many wondrous things we've learned we can do with our voices, in unison, with other hard-working people who've been practising until their fingers bleed, and there are STILL those who listen to people talking over a generic melody and beat? Don't you KNOW this?
Those who "create" rap and hip-hop are an affront to civilization. They're the proverbial "slap to the face" to every man, woman and child who's pushed themselves beyond limits previously thought unimaginable, to achieve heights of success one could only dream of.

Those who willingly listen to rap and/or hip-hop, are the most dangerous of miscreants - examples of de-evolution. In essence, they're "regressing" back to their monkey state and, in my humble opinion, should be put down so as not to infest others with their disease. Ironic, really, since doing exactly that would be going against my argument earlier to leave them be.

I genuinely hope humanity can recover from the plague that rap and hip-hop brought forth, but the more logical part of my brain knows it's truly a lost cause.

>Too long, didn't read? Rap and hip-hop fucking SUCK, and they are for NIGGER MONKEYS.

yeah, he even says so himself
youtube.com/watch?v=QbYXwtIxxQc

too bad he grew up to be a pathetic old faggot siding with all the people who used to angrily lash out at for trying their best to keep him down. I guess he was a product of his environment and nothing else, when he got out of it, and was allowed into the clubhouse with the rest of the elites, he turned into a good and placid, compliant little bitch

Him and Britney Spears were probably the closest to Michael Jackson in terms of being omnipresent in a time where everythig still was a bit slower. Then it went to Beyonce.

I was in Connecticut during 5th grade when his first album came out. This girl said he was a good guy. Ended up getting blacked... Haha

Btw he was almost on insane clown posses label.

Well, he's the kind of artist that looks good when he's part of the counter-culture, but when he turns mainstream and keeps that form, he just looks cringe

I like stan.

Yeah man, lucidly articulating why you're fucking mad just doesn't hold a candle to literally REEEEEEEing into a microphone while a garbage truck unloads next you. Angry white people music is probably the closest to true niggerspeak you can get.

You know I paid off Hiro for your IP right?

To say that I'm a big lynch fan would be a ginormous understatement. You see, I'm a ginormous lynch fan to the core and I want everyone to know it. His new tv show has had me hypnotized for weeks!

But in all honesty my most favorite movie of all time is hot fuzz. It's fucking hilarious and has in my opinion some of the greatest camera work in the business. I'd put it up their in the top three movies ever made of all time.

Even my priest agrees. New orthodox bro here btw. Currently non practicing but it's so great to get back into the faith after years of being a degenerate agnostoshit. Now if only I could get my cathlocuck parents to stop being pagans!

That reminds me, am I the only one disappointed that stannis Baratheon is actually gone? Oh who am I kidding! Of course not! Sometimes I forget I'm so completely surrounded by intellectuals of mine own caliber This isn't Reddit after all!

he made it palatable and relatable to white trash poors

I was in my teens in 2000 and he was massive. I wish he had gracefully drifted into irrelevancy instead of desperately trying to cling to fame. He should've stopped making music 10 years ago.

>triggered ass bandits
That would be (You).

Beastie Boys was also 80s.

8-mile movie and soundtrack legit good. made 50cents career.

Not him but it's all shit. Music has been an utter shitshow since the late 90's, and it was barely hanging on before that. Even the "enlightened" musical aficionados doubled down on trying to find depth in garbage instead of going in a new direction. White or black it's ugly noise for people with ugly souls.

Like Taylor Swift at her most popular x2 because males and females loved him.

Like anything it depends on where you grew up.
If you were white male and in a predominantly white area, he was huge.
By 00 everyone had a discman and white culture was starting to be dominated by funny new punk like Blink 182, blood hound gang, CKY, and a generally pretty nihilistic scene started to take hold when handicam filming your friends crashing shopping carts and skating was how you got famous.
So you've got a scene where sadism is the height of comedy for the whites but as for music you could see the writing was on the wall and rap music was going to become dominant.
Suburban whites loved rap buts its stories from the 'hood' didnt blend with their own world and while everyone loved the beats and music it was hard to relate to what was obviously a black industry.

All of a sudden Eminem drops the Slim Shady LP possibly the funniest comedic rap album of all time.
He did black rap better than any black rapper and did it in style that appealed heavily to suburban whites.
Eminem was white as fuck, dressed black and no one really called him out on it.

>How big in pop culture was Eminem at his peak?
Guy was single handedly responsible for bringing white audiences into the rap culture and arguably responsible for rap being the dominant style of music to this day

Just a basic music star. Less than Beiber, more than Nas.

Nah, look at the charts. It's obvious that once Eminem happened, rap started appearing on the charts. There's a difference between being know and being mainstream. Jazz is know, but it's not mainstream

Not as big as Millennials think he was. He was never a celebrity anyone over 30 would have cared about, never on that household name level.

Rap was dominating the charts long before Eminem.

You're almost right. He changed rap music, but not by making it mainstream. He introduced new rhyme schemes and made white people more comfortable buying rap albums.

Worldwide speaking, he was the best known rapper in the world, but during that time, rap wasn't as popular outside the USA than it is now.

NWA, Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z and Public Enemy+Run DMC had already accomplished this. If anything he just accelerated its hybridization with pop music

>tfw bought the walmart version

Nobody was bigger in my lifetime at his peak

Emanaem killed off rock and roll music. It hasnt been cool to listen to rock in the mainstream ever since he made it big

"revival" album he changes his style for the soundcloud and xxxtent rappers

>tfw Eminem is almost fucking 50 now

Who are even the big stars these days?
I think I stopped giving a fuck around 2012 and the only one I remotely know anything about is maybe Cardi B (who just seems like Discount Nicki Minaj who's already discount Lil Kim).

Em was forced to suck his step-dad's dick

He was sort of a forced fag in this sense, and probably has fucked/been fucked by tranny's and gay jewish record execs

He was very insecure about being a loser

He had terrible alcohol and drug problems. You can kys now

Who should I blame for hip hop trash?

This. Fuck wiggers especially. Now those are some scummy people.

Eminem once gave me a sloppy blowjob outside of a Denny's in Grand Rapids. It was alright.
t. Dr. Dre

In mormon households maybe

Watched a show with vanilla ice flipping homes

It's kind of sad he became a lot more respectable than eminem

Yourself for listening to it

Was it him or was it alternative or easy listening shit that killed off rock?

what he did really accomplish, was hold off the nigger culture going full mainstream for a decade.

Do you guys think the 2020's will spark a sort of musical renaissance in any way or will things just keep going downhill?
I mean there has to be a limit to how shitty our pop culture can get.

No, those were just annoying pop bands only girls listened to sometimes. Mainstream rock died because bands like Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park were getting constant play among a lot of other atrocious bands, pushing dudes into obscure metal autism bubbles or mostly just dropping it entirely. Eminem and ICP also siphoned off a lot of poor whites which had been the previous bread and butter for rock.

Modern music is mostly made by computers. They analyze Spotify and YouTube data to see which songs made it big (and which parts people rewind the most) from billions of plays and then compile a new unholy mess of a single. Then some execs decide who will perform it and they just invite them to record it in 2 hours, fix it with computers again and release it

He is to rap music what Elvis was to rock and roll, some talented enough white person hogging the spotlight while real more gifted artists (blacks) kept pushing and advancing the art form

I can name 5 rappers that did it better than Eminem in his prime

I was playing devil's advocate to be fair, I think prime Em (pre Encore, particularly around the year 2000) goes toe for toe with those guys based on skill

I said BESIDES that era dude

This
I love Dilla tho

Just look at his face in OP picture; He was SUPER marketable. Pretty white boy with an attitude problem and decent flow.

also this

Oh sorry I misread
Probably Old School/Funky Fly, I really like how experimental they were with their beats and how they actually knew how to use turntables, feels like no rapper actually uses original beats and/or does anything besides singing garbage lyrics.

Sadly this seems about right.
I guess I've got plenty of old music to listen to and discover for years to come but it just feels, I dunno, bleak looking into the coming decades over the excitement I used to have.

I love his songs so much. Heard nowadays he's somehow being a dick, but I couldn't care less. God bless him, he deserved everything he's got.

Good post, quite true

The justin bieber of his day

He was the god of rap, now hes the god of yikes

there wasnt a single person not playing MMLP daily when it came out

In 1999 he was maybe the coolest person on the planet

the age of the star is over, as is the age of the director. Its the age of the execs now

I can't take the magazine roling stones seriously since at least for me it's partisan corporate shilling and i bet have freat shit like a buzzfeed, huffpost, new york times, cnn, washington post, many of these trash from DNC in USA. Magazine for shilling from DNC

I'm not from USA but i see this

They tried to created a magazine puting the communist, socialist girl, the other white woman of DNC and then since USA is desperate trying to brainwash white woman as a identity politics used the word woman.

Roling Stones is a magazine who have no credibility for being shill manipulation of the corporate elite of DNC

They put any trash from DNC in the magazine if they are desperate trying to push some propaganda to bump the candidates of Democrats or trying to mix the white woman and use code word woman like they tried in the pic with socialist cortez and pelozi, i think is it her name.

100%. If Imagine Dragons is supposedly good rock music I'd rather no one make it anymore.

I was in High School. Everyone was listening to him. I remember copying his first 2 cds for friends at school. Back then CD writers were like 1000$, and my mum had one for her job and I must have made 100s of cds with it.

I bet have all circlejerk of money and lobby for manipulation and shilling of democrats, like happens in these magazines trying to put some candidate of DNC in the cover and shill for it like majority of things who DNC have lobbie, pay, control, have influence to manipulate in USA, this is why the Eminem works fro the same DNC.

2pac mainstreamed Rap in my opinion. That's when a lot of white people started getting into it.

1998-2005 Eminem was a pop culture phenom

there were probably old fucks saying the same thing back when eminem came out

His first two or three (major label) albums are great. Funny punchlines and good production. Still listen to them sometimes. I don't know what happened but he started to fall off around 2004 or 2005 or so and became less relevant

>He's dying his god dang hair peggy!

>tfw i played bass in some shitty metalcore band
I wish we could go back to the 2000s bros.

Eminem still looked like a normal guy for the most part, he just dyed his hair sometimes. I think we might actually be at the point where edgelords are out of ideas though, but I guess we'll see.

I hate all the soicore indie rock that's so ubiquitous now that features any combination of uukeles, group singing and upbeat lyrics.

That "best day of my life" song that came out like 5 years ago that you still somehow hear everywhere is INFURIATING.

Depends on what part of the country you're in.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chopped_and_screwed

Unironically this.

So big that there'd be potential for at least two capeshit movies starring him, a Mark Millar one where he finds out he's the son of a supervillain and proceeds to be nothing but coldsteel edgy(that was improved and turned into Wanted instead), and one where he teams up with The Punisher.

Yeah I thought it was originally NWA that made rap popular with white suburban teens. But my older brother is white gen x and he listened to a lot of 2pac and biggie in the 90s so it might've been that

Nah, he was a normal guy. Rapper these days (or trapper? whatever) are literally freaks, not even sure if they still fit into the homo sapiens category tbqh.

Needs to take his own advice.

Because they weren't as good. Eminem is the greatest and only literal contrarians and haters think otherwise. Pretty much every other rapper recognizes his greatness. Only literal whos like Lord Jamar and the perpetual butthurt fag Charlamagne would disagree, and that's pretty much based on racism.

That was kind of big at the time.

Like he was the reason college age kids and hipsters listen to cloudsound rappers instead of heavy metal bands.

Beastie boys and vanilla ice did that before

Beastie boys were ok but never made it as big.
Hell most of his fans actually prefer their punk years.
Sabotage is actually their most famous song.

Vanilla ice is garbage.

Not stricktly cyberpunk but there was some hacker culture subgenre for the whole decade.

I listened to him like everyone else when I was a kid but feel kind of bad now since I learned rap is a jewish run psyop

Vanilla ice is great even Tupac thought so

Emo killed rock. Once nu-metal died there wasn't much left in the rock scene to hang on to and no one wanted to be associated with effeminate emo bands which were taking over what was left of the rock music scene. A lot of people moved over to rap.

This. i remember when Em was at the top every white kid was listening to him, he was huge.
And as a lyricist he was very talented. His D12 shit was fucking awesome and i still listen to it now and then. Too bad his rap and lyrics didn't grow up or mature to the point where he could speak to newer generations. Also for some reason his flow and delivery deteriorated heavily over the years. Listening to songs like Business right next to how he spits in Kamikaze makes me cringe, all those drugs fucked him up

Eminem was the first white rapper to not sound lame and corny, so white kids loved him and identified with him. He was the Larry Bird of rap.

Whats the difference between rap and hip hop?

I don’t really know what to compare it to. Partly because I’m not familiar with what’s currently trendy and partly because Eminem’s fame feels somewhat unique. When Marshal Matters LP was released, he was everywhere. You would hear him everywhere. And yet he was still highly controversial. The only other person I can think of that came close was Marilyn Manson who at the same time was also highly controversial and well-known but whose songs you would only hear once in a while on MTV or on one of those ‘this week’s top tracks’ tv programs that we had an abundance of back then unless you were already a fan and owned his records. Or downloaded them on Napster.

hip-hop is at its best when its low key, collaborative and well informed, what you're probably familiar with is all the garbage pop masquerading as hip-hop, if you, as a normie, already know the name of the artist then chances are it's actually pop music. It's like thinking all rock music is garbage becuase you only know about Nickelback and Maroon 5. One thing I do appreciate about hip-hop, found in less other genres, is the topic of the lyrics is more varied, there isn't the surfeit of songs about relationships or regret found in other genre.

Furthermore the majority of music involving actual musicians is doing very little to push music beyond it's conventional limits, it's all 4 to the floor with the same old chord progressions that people enjoy, anything that does push boundaires will be dismissed by the majority for being too 'proggy'

hip hop is the music
rap is the lyrics

Hip hop is the culture. Rap literally means rhythm & poetry.

that's a backronym, rap was just called crap

>that's a backronym
Prove it.

Max Martin and the other four or five people who write 98% of all hit songs. Hard to call them stars though as the studios tend to want to at least keep up the illusion that their artists aren’t just empty packages meant to appeal to certain demographics with no real substance in them.

remember the shit-fit everybody had when he and Elton John dueted at the Grammys?

Responsible for white girls listening to rap? Yeah. Boys? wu tang.

I went to see Eminem in Twickenham, England last year. Great concert, but ... I'm about 40% sure that it wasn't actually Eminem.

He spent the whole concert wearing a hoodie that concealed most of his face. There were no closeups on the Jumbotron. There was very little freestyling or playfulness or crowd interaction. He pretty much just sang (or rapped or whatever) the songs, one after the other, soaked up the cheers, and then left.

In the few parts where he did speak between songs, he didn't sound very much like himself. He sounded like just an average dude.

There's a theory that the real Eminem died in 2006 and was replaced by an imposter. Before, I laughed at the theory. Now, I'm not so sure.

Probably just on drugs m8. He's been fucked for the last 10+ years.

>man sees celebrity in real life for first time
>yo wtf they didn't look like on tv?! It's gotta be a clone!
All those theories about all the various celebrities all boil down to that effect and facial blind cunts doing autistic comparisons of pictures taken years apart with different make-up, lightning and angles.

He did nothing at all.

White rapper? Nope. Beastie Boys
He isn't gangsta or hip hop.
There was 20 years of rap music before he arrived. He was around when rap rock was on its second revival. Haha.

>comparing beastie to em
I love beastie but come on

Honestly not that big. At his height, he was basically the white 50 Cent or Outkast. There was a big hip hop and R&B craze at the time so he was one of many.
