New Eminem Interview on Shade 45 Soon!

[irfman]

Rap star Eminem will be interviewed by his own Sirius radio station, Shade 45, to discuss the 20th anniversary of indie record label Delicious Vinyl.

The rapper, who’s been most known the last few years for being underneath the radar, will be joined by Delicious Vinyl’s co-founder Mike Ross. The Los Angeles based label, founded in 1987, is most known for signing legendary West Coast artists The Pharcyde and Masta Ace, whom Eminem has touted for years as being one of his greatest influences.

In VIBE’s September Juice issue, Eminem spoke sincerely about his own overall impact. “There were others before me,” he said, “but in a sense, I blew the door open for people of other nationalities to actually do this.”

Interesting

[dark456]

I personally think that without eminem white kids would not be able to be as involved into hip hop rap he opened the door for alot of people to do rap/hip hop especialy white people

[Emadyville]

Yeah good article. And he did, he basically made it acceptable for anyone other than african-americans to be involved in the hip-hop industry like that.

[Emadyville]

mc serch is white and accepted...hell he brought us Nas

But I agree that eminem made it more accepted. I probably wouldn't even be a rap fan without him.

Thats a good point, and rap wasn't as big, at least commercially when serch was doing it. I think that had something to do with it. Plus em got a lot more exposure cause of Dre and his lyrics/controversy.

[Darkblade44431]

Yeah, there were plenty of white rappers as far as underground rappers. But eminem was the first mainstream one, well i think..and besides vanilla ice anyway....lol, but he doesn't really count.

[Emadyville]

3rd Bass was mainstream

No I know, I'm just saying rap in general wasn't as big as it was when Em stepped on the scene. Videos were played more, mtv had all the kids watching trl, and in 99 rap was really spreading more across the nation as opposed to just east coast west coast.

[Emadyville]

My bad Chet, we're agreeing and disagreeing on the same points it seems lol. In that case you're right!

[anniee]

cool, some one has to give a dl link tho cause i dont get shade 45

[AJS2050]

intresting stuff, yeh em's defenetly made a big impact to white guys liking hip-hop in Europe,

should be intresting to hear em again, and hopefully someone might slip in a question about the album

[Evil G3nius]

Well all we can hope for now is an official news about his album by himself.
hope we get good news .

[SayGoodbyeHollywood]

interestinggg gonna check this out but im still not expecting any word of a album

[blitches]

bet u 100 bucks hes gonna make a fart joke

[Tash8]

^ i doubt it, eminem hides that shit when he's talking with his influences, didn't you listen to the LL Cool J convo?

[rahul.never2far]
