I think what he meant is that he sold more because he expanded the market to people that previously would not have purchased rap. It isn't about saying he doesn't have skill, just a larger pool of people to purchase his music given the hip hop market at the time. He also says that if anyone could have done it in Kamikaze, then they would have. It was talent combined with a new market that he opened up.
Enimen is really what i would call the perfect storm. At the right time at the right place and now hes unstoppable and there will never be another em. Crazy to have grew up on him.
this song was eye openning to many many suburban white kids at that time on the realities of race in america, and influenced a whole generation to revisit their beliefs abt racism and black history. Em is an engaged militant artist with a message and that's why among the hip hop scene he is UNANIMOUSLY respected by black artists. He is the Goat
I can remember seeing Meetings in Congress & the Topic was EMINEM. They actually referred to him as a "Gateway Drug" because he speaks about other Rappers that he is a fan of & those kids would seek out Music that they wouldn't ever go looking for before Eminem. The Parents were also Pissed because they said "Now that EMINEM has become insanely successful as a Ralper He has now put an idea into white kids across America that they can also be Rappers"......... He was pointing out That these Culdesac Parents didn't Ever Cause this much of a Stir about other HipHop & its because they weren't worried because they knew theiykids weren't actively listening to ICE T & ICE CUBE And knew it wouldn't ever breach the walls into their homes but now they're up in arms because of Eminem is on their TV Set on Mtv which didn't ever play HipHop to the level they did once Eminem Blew Up which means they gotta blame somebody
Eminem is the greatest of all time in my opinion because hes done it all at the highest level for the longest time. Hes an undisputed master of his craft. An actual anomaly. 99 overall in every category that goes into rap
Artist is subjective so I love that you added that this was your opinion! no one actually gets to decide who is the greatest of all time, only time can decide that. But it seems that with time Eminem is still at the top. It’s been 25 years and his lyrics are still relevant and relatable. They still make you feel something. And he’s still making impactful music. I think that only time can tell who is the greatest of all time, but Eminem is sitting pretty.
most albums that sold the amount eminem did was because they were double disc so one purchase counted as two !! if eminem show was double disc holy hell
He’s saying his skin color hindered his career before Dr Dre signed him. But it benefitted his career after Dre signed him. And the novelty of a white guy rapping as good as he was is what propelled him as far as it did. It’s the Tiger woods effect. And he was such a household name when the Marshall Mathers LP took over the world. The love he got was huge, and the hate he got was crazy. So this was the first song in his very next album, (The Eminem Show), as a reaction to all of the outrage concerning him. It was his third album. And it’s my favorite out of his first three album. He was legitimately in the greatest of all time conversations after this album.
This album places close to my heart, the very first album I heard of Eminem’s was this one. My dad came home and put it on the sound system I was 9, fell in love ever since. I’m 31 now and still play this album has even more value as hailies song resembles my daughter 💪
I’m 38.. I’m regular white guy from the suburbs and my parents were somewhat overprotective.. not bad.. but absolute I had to keep my Eminem cds hidden.. this song among a few others.. sing for the moment comes to mind first example..spoke directly to kids like me.. Eminem quite literally helped raise me as you guys say .. he helped make me a much more accepting, open minded, not so quick to judge others, and just all around a more mature and enlightened person than I would’ve been without songs like this … thanks for the reaction guys
This whole straw man “if he was black he wouldn’t have sold as much” hypothetical is a completely disingenuous premise from jump. If he was black, he wouldn’t be Em. Wouldn’t have the outsider, underdog perspective in a black dominated demographic both artistically and environmentally. Wouldn’t have needed to work twice as hard purely just to be accepted never mind respected as an elite MC. They always talk about the “privileges” he had AFTER he got signed and rarely him being ostracised and and flat out dismissed by everyone until Dre came along. And even then Dre had to literally put his career on the line because his entire label told him not to sign him purely because he was white. The fact is the question itself is impossible to answer and ultimately pointless to ask. Did it help at the beginning? Obviously. But that was more the unicorn effect - no different than Tiger Woods or the Williams sisters. People had never seen a white dude rap like that just like they never saw a black golfer swing a club or the Williams sisters a racket so well. They had a similar spotlight shone on them from jump too. Novelty only lasts so long. Woods maintained his status because he was better than everyone. Same with Venus and Serena. It takes pure talent to make it last and Em has been outselling/out rapping everyone for over a quarter century. Name me ANY artist of ANY colour in ANY genre that can say that?
He also would’ve been on his gangster shit from the get-go. Imagine it was Em rapping “things just ain’t the same for gangsters” instead of Dre. Em would’ve been able to rap about a lot more things that he couldn’t because he was white. Imo he would’ve been called the goat no questions asked if he was black
Frank Zappa said things just as shocking and was Eminem before Eminem in that regard, but it was the disco era so he was off to the side and not mainstream. Like he said, its the fact that Em was so popular that freaked people out.
I'm white from a white area in Michigan that none of us knew much of anything about rap until Em came out and that was all any of us listened too, talked about, etc.
as a White male, yup, this album introduced me to rap. After cleaning out my closet, bought this album, and bam.......a Stan was born, and rap was introduced
This album I shit you not came out on my 4th birthday and I've been listening to it since around then as well, my dad played it in the car when my mom wasn't with us, he played all his rap cds going back to the 70's when I was growing up. But it all sort of started here.
I was born in 87 in Detroit and grew up in Warren during what people called the crack epidemic. Idk if it was that our parents were high and didn't care or if it's cuz they grew up in Detroit but our parents didn't care what we listened too. Maybe cuz i was the youngest of three brothers. First rap songs that got me into rap 2 pac,bone thugs, biggie, luniz and jayz but at the same time my dad was a rock and roll guy but loved eminem.
Im pretty sure the second song on the majority of em's albums end with hin saying "im just playin..... You know i love you" been a theme on his albums. Eric Andre btw. Black eric haha
He was explaining that he isn't saying anything more controversial or damaging than any other rappers, and if you want to stop him from saying it out of "concern" for kids, why don't you care about the harm it's doing to the Black community? Em was pointing out the hypocrisy of concerned parents.
Em spoke to those of us that werent seen. There are abusive families on all sides. I love Em because he spoke to the dark life i lived and the hatred that stems from abuse.
Omg I loved it when this song came out I had a poster with the lyrics on my wall when I was a teenager lol (before that the only song with my name was Mambo number 5 lmao)
My dad was a rap fan before EM. So he had no problem with us listening. My kids grew up with it, too. Meaux had a good point. For most it was probably that way.🤔🔥❤️🤍💙
You basically described Kanye talking about who thought they’d be world changing if they’d get the chance lol. And I don’t buy the “I’d sell half of if I was black” because he’s (to me) a white Pac, but better at word play and has different styles, and Pac had no problem selling records. And it’s hilarious the “fuck you Miss Cheney”, and then 20 years later he’s on her families side 😂
Nice react as always! I think Em is saying is that there are just more white people in the US, and back before Em blew up there weren't as many who listened to rap yet (like you said). He kind of opened the door for many of us to get into rap, and we only even knew he existed cuz he got better media coverage than he would have if he weren't white (unfortunately). Back then, new music groups not on MTV or the radio might as well not even exist. In my white AF '96 - '00 highschool, in the NH seacoast area, a bunch of us ultimately bought a whole variety of rap records, BUT Marshal Mathers LP was the one that pretty much all of us had. Hell, even my straight-edge bald software-geek dad had the MMLP lol (his whole office went to an Em concert together LMAO - it's funny cuz they all look like George Costanza clones 🤣). Sidenote, IMO the Beastie Boys didn't really count, cuz they mixed in enough rock to always get play on rock radio. I imagine you could listen to them your whole life without ever being exposed to other rap. Em was on rock radio too, but only for a hot minute as a novelty (like the Country Road song, or Thrift Shop). For my little posse at least, Em was the real gateway drug. Next thing we knew we were memorizing Bone Thugs (mo murda!), walking the tracks for hours thinking we were BAD MO FOS (lmao). Before calling ma dukes for a ride to the Wizards Tower to play D&D 😎
Premise of the song is about his skin color and the way it's harmed/benefited him during his rap career. 1) didn't matter coz when he was an underground rapper. No one cared during battles, 2) but it worked against him because labels rarely signed white rappers, 3) once dre signed him his skin color worked for him because dre basically co-signed him as a good rapper AND, most importantly, 4) he had the backing of his label to get radio play, music videos, etc, so his music could spread and resonate with a demographic (white youth) that largely ignored rap at the time (that's why he's saying if he was black, he wouldn't sell half-- he opened up a new market for rap music), 5) which included white middle/upper class kids-- the children of politicians-- who went after him hard-- was actually one of the main examples of congressional hearings about censorship and entertainment... which actually motivated this song (hence the refs to cheney, tipper gore, etc). A lot to unpack!
I grew up in the 90s, and rap was everything. The only other music that was big was rock or grunge for kids. So people saying whites didn't listen to Pac, Big, LL, Big L, Mobb deep, jayz, tang clan, Master P , NWA ,insane clown posse, lil keke, geto boys, snoop dogg, dre, Nas and list goes on. Them kids saying rap was crap are stupid. The beastie boys cant for get them white boys. 😊
when em came out ppl hated him on both sides of the aisle. he was beat up and everything. i hate when ppl say he got famous bc he was white. or bc it hasnt happened again to other white rappers. or placed as high bc hes white
It's crazy to think about, but Eminem won't actually ever really directly get the flowers he deserves. It'll always come through hip hop loving the people he influenced (J. Cole, Kendrick, Big Sean, Royce, etc). Those guys have repeatedly said they wouldn't be who they are as rappers if not for Em.
He was able to sell to MORE people because he was white. White people weren’t listening to rap, let alone buying rap albums. He tapped into a market that wasn’t previously there. But since he was produced by Dre he was ALSO selling to black people. He had the best of both worlds. If he were black he would not have sold albums to white people. Also if he were black, there wouldn’t have been anything “special” about his talent. Being white AND being able to rap made him different and more unique.
I think em is saying without the struggles of being a white guy in a black industry he wouldn’t have had the drive to be as talented. I think being the black sheep of rap is what gave him the motivation to be as good as he is.but it’s also a double cause white people wouldn’t have bought his albums if he was black regardless if he was good or not
Yea, especially when we've done plenty of reactions to songs we've heard before and always say "we've heard this song but we will still listen and give our thoughts and opinions" You're too used to fake ass reactors 😂
Please listen to Cage - agent orange Or the whole album “movies for the blind” NY white rapper who people sometimes say Eminem got his style from him..they also had some beef too
Broooo, you need to r3act to the premium songs of Em pls From recovery Cinderella Man 21 to Life Seduction Cold wind Blow Every single one is crazyyy lyrixs flow everyfhing u too will love it !!❤🎉
Imagine being able to actually parent. Youth crime on the rise because parents have nominal control. Kids can't be taught any lessons. You get arrested for letting a kid go to store. 😂🤣😂🤣
Have to think about as well if he was black would he have had the same upbringing? A lot of things he got bullied for growing up white nah not have happened if he were black thus changing what drives him
I think what he meant is that he sold more because he expanded the market to people that previously would not have purchased rap. It isn't about saying he doesn't have skill, just a larger pool of people to purchase his music given the hip hop market at the time. He also says that if anyone could have done it in Kamikaze, then they would have.
It was talent combined with a new market that he opened up.
That's exactly what he meant. That's why it's easy to say he's popular cuz he's white
This is one of his most powerful song, no one can convince me otherside. He said a lot in this song.
Enimen is really what i would call the perfect storm. At the right time at the right place and now hes unstoppable and there will never be another em. Crazy to have grew up on him.

The name Eric and Erica are in the word America
Ding ding
there shirts say I Am Erica = I America
Kendrick is cool but whennit comes to lyrics he aint touching Eminem
yup, not even close.
Who's Kendrick Lamar to Eminem lol yup nothing
Let’s not pretend current Em is anywhere near current Kendrick
@@TheJimboCOD he's not, he's leagues better than Kendrick, and always will be.
There is still ppl who know rap and nothing about That name Kdot

Pretty sure if you cut Em's album sales in half he's still a top 3 selling rapper of all time lol
most albums that sold the amount eminem did was because they were double disc so one purchase counted as two !!
if eminem show was double disc holy hell
And now the biggest sell out too...

No Way you guys just now hearing this banger. This was when eminem fought against the government and the system and fought for the people.
There are more songs where Em says he "loves" at the end.
I just know of 4, are there more 😅

Def had this memorized in 5th grade lol
Em spoke to those of us that werent seen. There are abusive families on all sides. I love Em because he spoke to the dark life i lived and the hatred that stems from abuse.
Eminem is one of few rappers who rapped about being broke and related to people.
That track always gives me goosebumps.. especially back when that album dropped
I think one of the most overlooked parts of his success is how good he is at song structure
its wild how he can ride a beat this basic and make you not even notice it
Aesop Rock would be a dope reaction. I slept on him too but it's never too late to catch up. Wordplay is insane and hecis a dope producer too.
Talent is everything in the industry.
Its hilarious to watch you guys just now click onto what everyone else understood 20 years ago 😂

Yessir!! Been waiting for this one! Also i think he's saying there are simply a whole lot more white people than black people, so larger market 🤔
One of the best track so strong 🔥🔥🔥 you have to hear if you did'nt - MOSH
Em is the G.O.A.T
This the best album on top on my top 4
Been waiting and waiting everyday for a new Eminem reaction from yous cause I never catch the lives😭😂
Straight fire
I'd love it if you both could react to J.I.D - Dance Now. Absolute banger!!!
AND HE IS SAYING ERICA IN THE WORD AMERICA
Eric and erica are both in the word ‘America’
Psycho by 50 and Eminem
💯💯
Guys you should react to Mosh!! Def one of em’s most political and controversial songs!
when em came out ppl hated him on both sides of the aisle. he was beat up and everything.
i hate when ppl say he got famous bc he was white. or bc it hasnt happened again to other white rappers. or placed as high bc hes white
Em just took the word America, took out the word Eric and Erica from it and created 2 white names.
It's crazy to think about, but Eminem won't actually ever really directly get the flowers he deserves. It'll always come through hip hop loving the people he influenced (J. Cole, Kendrick, Big Sean, Royce, etc). Those guys have repeatedly said they wouldn't be who they are as rappers if not for Em.

Please do hailie's song next, its the best singing eminem has ever done and it sounds incredible
Aesop Rock is mad good
Lol I loved em growing up but I never dyed my hair 😂 I admit I tried to get ems blue shirt that says E on it lol from berserk
I think em is saying without the struggles of being a white guy in a black industry he wouldn’t have had the drive to be as talented. I think being the black sheep of rap is what gave him the motivation to be as good as he is.but it’s also a double cause white people wouldn’t have bought his albums if he was black regardless if he was good or not

You're too used to fake ass reactors 😂

Eric and Erica cause America
you need to react to more songs from the Eminem show
The only white rapper before em to get any kind of respect was MC Serch and even then he needed to be with people for anyone to recognize him
If he wasn't Marshall, he would have been laughed out in the beginning. There are a lot of white rappers you'll never hear of.

This is a slowed down version.
What a bad way to interpret the second verse

Am"eric"a and Am"erica"
Eric & Erica = amERICA
Also white names
Erica = Am erica America
He would have sold less because his skin color picked up the other half. Is how I interpret that.
Please do eminem insane 😂
Do Eminem - stimulate
Please check out eminem, skam 365
I am eric/erica is probably America
Hey guys!! I’m back! Could not find y’all forever. And I’m all in subscribed. Think y’all could be being suppressed? I hope not. ❤️❤️❤️
Have to think about as well if he was black would he have had the same upbringing? A lot of things he got bullied for growing up white nah not have happened if he were black thus changing what drives him
Easy-E was called Eric was he not?
Usually it's moe reaching. Idk where you came up with that for the second verse flawed
He’s just saying being white helped cuz well look at the populations. If he was black he woulda sold half, basic math.
