Aug 14, 2015 It's January 25th 2015 and an up and coming rapper named Eminem releases his first single for his upcoming LP called "My Name Is" Does the rest of the story play out in near enough the same fashion or do the current media/audience not pay attention and Eminem's career dies about as quickly as Meek Mill received the L?
Aug 14, 2015 In this age, everyone is much more sensitive and PC. Eminem misogynistic lyrics would be enough to piss everyone off in 2015, and even more so due to everyone being PC.
Aug 14, 2015 He'd probably just be viewed as a try hard edgy internet kid if he came out today. I think he came out at the right time so I'm not so sure about how it would play it today
Aug 14, 2015 eh, his talent would have to be recognized, would of loved to see where he went if he stayed underground with ruckus records
Aug 14, 2015 Itd be about the same. Controversy still generates attention, just look at Donald Trump. Dude took the standard ratings of 4.0-5.0 for republican debates and shot that s--- up to 25 million viewers in 2015. No doubt a guy as talented as Em could do it too.
Aug 14, 2015 How the f--- will he be like Hopsin if Eminem wasn't there to inspire Hopsin? Hopsin's style would have been different if there was no Eminem.
Aug 14, 2015 He had perfect timing, we live in a world where drake is considered the best rapper alive by pop culture. He would flop today, everyone who's popular now blew up off club songs
Aug 14, 2015 Nope, but thats what's part of made him great, he was willing to say s--- no one else was in that time, now a days it wouldn't be that shocking or thought provoking, he challenged the idea of free speech back then, now it would just be shock value, but once again, thats what made him so great.....
Aug 14, 2015 There's no definitive answer. But I think he really was capitalized on in the right place right time.
