How much impact had proof on Em's carrer?

[Shady_linx92]

Proof was the man who gave eminem a chance to prove that he can rap.....So I think that Eminem has to be grateful because if Proof didnt exist neither Eminem

[°[~CHR!$~]°]

yea proof had a big impact on Em
guess proof always kept the fun in rap....so Em felt comfortable in the rap business

in the underground..yeh a good influence on eminem

once eminem got signed though, proof had little if any influence coz eminem basiccally stopped that side of his rapping he moved away and distanced himself from anything that was considered "underground" , as in proof would rap and do a track with anyone he thought was sick...ANYONE, no matter if they were unknown and if the rapper was shit but well known proof most likely would have told him to fuck off coz he aint got skill, eminem didnt get influenced by that side of Proof, i do think now that proofs dead eminem is trying to do what proof did though, use his name to help sick artists from detroit (just look one hook for helleva and the guy has received masive attention he would never have gotten otherwise)


as for influence on him personelly id think a big influence the guys were best freinds, and your freinds influence you alot

Y thats a good point Em might start trying to help upcoming detroit rappers in proofs name or something.

f Proof didnt exist neither Eminem

that's exactly what eminem said at proofs funeral.

but eminem is a very diff rapper from proof.. proof just basically allowed him to rap... without proof no one would have respected him because he's white, once proof respected him others followed... eminem's lyrics weren't influenced by proof... his style wasn't influenced by proof.. the only thing which was the biggest thing of all, he was partially responsible for getting eminem the respect he deserved

man he would have not had slim shady without proof creating d12. One of the best hypeman in the business and was also in charge of putting together his concert peformance song list , stage shit all that. He was monumental to eminems success and more importantly his best friend,best man and true brother. In all honestly fuuck all the rap shit is the mot important thing. When you have a friend who was down for you since growing up before the fame.Before blowing up.Hes prolly one of the only people in the world he could truly trust. Whithout proof pushin em to battle and mc'pngw I believe eminem woud not be eminem period. How big do you think proof was to em?. Its almost to big to evn equte. Rest in piece proof,one of the illest mc to never truly get his shine he deserved.One

[Rain Matrix]

when Em and Proof were on tha same track it was always dope it still is to this day Proof had a way of making any track that much better

without Proof I would have never text battled

rest in peace Big Proof
