yeah I agree... but what you said is true ASP, I think we all understand and agree with that, but... you still talk about pop fans, and that wasn't my point... anyways, I don't think anybody will make you change your mind lol...
I hate to bring this to u, but music fans listened to hip hop before people knew who eminem was, the only reason he gets more mentions and "omz its a first white rapper" its because he got into mainstream, right in the high spot.
yeah, but I didn't say Eminem is the only rapper that non-rap fans loved, did I? I mean, Tupac had a huge impact on many non-hip hop fans, I know a lot of people who liked Tupac and don't like hip hop in general... and I think Tupac is considered important by the music industry etc... it wasn't my point... I was just saying that Eminem had all the ingredients to appeal to music fans in general (not talking about pop fans here, I mean serious music fans) and there are other rappers who are maybe more talented/better rappers than Eminem, but they didn''t have that special something... cause not anybody can have that... I'm sure Eminem himself didn't know he had that...
you don't see every day, an artist that can appeal to the pop crowd, while being appreciated by real music fans and especially by real fans of the type of music he's doing... that's why he was so big at that time...
