I DIDN'T SAY that every white rapper is just a COPY-CAT.
I'm simply stating that, the BUZZ of being a WHITE RAPPER is LONG GONE.
It just doesn't feel the same. Yeah sure, let the whites rap, but what I was simply saying is that it's not as groundbreaking as it was 11 years ago when Slim came out.
Do you guys understand me now? Or do I have to write a full page essay..
You guys are just pulling Diabolic, Slug, & Beastie fucking Boys out your ass. I didn't even mention them in the thread. All I said was I believe Eminem deserves the "gateway" crown. Him coming out and being blown up let fuckers like Asher Roth & Mac Miller come out as well.
White rappers were being discriminated, and besides, no one wanted to sign a white rapper (back in the day). Admit it.
Who else is trying to get buzz off a being a white rapper though?
Mac Miller & Asherick Ross are fucking terrible, they don't have the same style of rap as Eminem at all, they do frat party rap. They're not getting buzz because they're white, they're getting buzz for the same reason Lil Wayne & Soulja Boy do: because their music is mainstream friendly & teenage girls find them attractive. Skin color has next to nothing to do with this.
The Beastie Boys are brought up because they opened the gateway for the possibility of good white rappers in the mainstream, Eminem simply widened it & if it wasn't him some other good white rapper taken from the underground & marketed correctly would have done it. I brought up Diabolic & Slug because you mentioned Copywrite for some fucking reason like he was ever trying to get buzz off of being a white guy.
Seriously, this is a terrible fucking complaint to have, I don't see any valid argument here at all. So i'm gonna ask again, what the fuck are you talking about? Use actual names this time, who is trying to get a buzz purely off of being white?
