Would u be listning to hip hop if there was no Eminem.

[AspirinE]

Sometimes it seems that people forget the very essense of wat we call hip hop. Feels like the white suburban kids only started to listen to hip hop coz of EM. Lets say there was no eminem and u would have come across a song from The Roots or someone like Daddy Kane, would u listen to hip? Are u just a fan of Eminem or is it really hip hop u fell in love with?

[chronic]

sure!!!! theres not just em..lotsa lotsa lotsa other artists

Well, i think i wouldt listen to it but not as much as now,actually Eminem is one of the first rappers i heard of, if there was no Eminem, i probobly continue listening to: 'Grunge' 'Hardcore Rock' and 'House'.
But yhea thanks to Eminem i listen to other rappers...

And the reason for that is: Hip hop is just not as popular in my country as it is in America.... example: 'Trick Trick's cd still isn't in stores here...

[Lil Pimp Tell 'Em]

i would still be listening to it cuz theres a lot great rappers besides shady like 2pac, biggie, 50, dre,game,g-unit, stat quo.....actually without em there prolly wouldnt be 50, statquo, obie and the others he produces

i listen hip-hop very long now (about 7 years) and i only start listening more to Eminem and D12 since 2002.......before that i listened to all kinda hip-hop 2Pac,Biggie,Nas,Gangstarr,NWA,Rakim,Wu-Tang, and i can go on and on and i still listen to all of them......so for me Eminem is not the person who introduced me to hip-hop......but the last years i listen more to Detroit rap....just because i like their style(Obie,D12,Runyon Ave,Purple Gang,Trife Life,and ofcourse Em still.. )

Lol same here, only im not very keen to this whole detroite thing - they havent releases much yet, detroites days are yet to come, of course if New York doesnt snap back from the bubble gum rap.
I cant wait till young zee does something on shadyrecords though. Proof on his on is fucking marvelous i listened to his album like 100 times since release

[Shadyluva]

although eminem was the 1st rapper that was my favorite...im sure that i wud listen to rap these dayz and it wud still be my favorite genre of music. eminem is everything..plus there are otha artists that i still love like tupac, dr. dre, the game. eminem may be my favorite now but that can change in the years to come.

[MuNxMuN]

It was either Em or Nelly that introduced me to hip hop but if there was no Em i would still listen to hip hop cause there are other artists out there that are just as or more talented than him such as tupac, dre, and biggie.

it was Eminem who introduced me to hip hop and i'm really proud that i listen to rap now. if there was no Eminem, i'd prolly listen to rap anyway. tho i'd start from polish rap and then try to listen to US. now i don't listen to Eminem that much as i used to do when i took up listening to rap, tho it doesn't mean i don't like him anymore. i just want to listen to other artists too..

Eminem introduced me to hip hop, cause he was quite popular here 5 yrs ago, when i started to listen to rap. it didn't changed much - when i say 'NWA', 80% of ppl are like "wtf are you talking about?" - so don't blame Eminem for introducing white kids to rap

same here...

[Double U]

I listen a lot more to other artist like Redman, Wu-Tang Clan, Nas and a lot of other old skool rap but eminem was the rapper I listened to.

[BLAHBLAHBLAH]

If he never became as big as he did I pobably would have found another artist i like just as much. IDK though but i like hiphop and will continue to!


O man that sounds really corny UM but i dont know how else to say it

[WestCoast_G]

Are you serious?! Man, Of course I would.. There's Pac, Biggie, Eazy-E, Dr.Dre, NWA, Game,The Black Wall Street, Yukmouth, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Nas, Xzibit.. Man I could go on and on.. You get my point

[DarkMan]

hmm.. if there was no eminem i probably wont be into hip hop as much as i am now coz his music got me into rap... and bcoz of him i love hip hop and i am constantly looking for new hip hop songs everyday

and before listening to eminem and hip hop...i was listening to pop like BSB and nsync....

so im grateful that eminem made it big as a rapper

[Speech]

of course ems not tha first emcee.........tha music i listened 2 was tupacs......i only noticed EM through PAC....of course i knew about eminem but only tha singles in tv interested me kinda............i did not even really know rap..........TUPAC SHOWED ME...........and know i really like ems music
