    Either:
    1. This isn't actually true and you are rather full of s---.
    2. Spanish has more native speakers than English, and Eminem is a globally popular artist.

    As to why he's so accessible. The answer is simple. "Culture" contributes to "taste" which is subjective. Eminem is known mostly for his ability to rhyme, which is generally the most basic appeal in a rap song and its most accessible aspect. Throwing away all subjective assessments of sound and aesthetic, Eminem's ability to rhyme is uncontested among the mainstream. So from that basic point of view, Eminem is the best.

    Going back into culture. Eminem has made himself popular using a character that is disconnected from typical hip-hop culture and is universally relatable. So yes, your typical , "p----, Money, Weed" narrative that gets repeated so often is generally less interesting that anything you might consider "cringe". There's more character in a 'distasteful', antisocial , mom hating, 40 year old ex-drug addict than the nth iteration of gucci mane's self rehash.

    It's the way you make your money, and Europe is a stranger to "I slang crack" talk prevalent in hip hop

    his type of sound is very unique to us, many people here used to think all rap sounds like 2pac and they used to only listen to pac...when Eminem came with the real slim shady it exploded here with the beat and hook...it was the first time someone other than pac became a household name in here

    Because he is white so he appeals to most European countries.
