    I've always wondered if Em signed to a different Label (This may have been done before but I was here init) I reckon he would still blow due to controversy but would he be practically the same?

    It's pointless to ask what if. Nobody knows.

    without dre, his career was going nowhere. he was broke as f---, could hardly afford to raise his daughter let alone afford studio time, he lost the rap olympics... if Dre didn't take Em under his wing, he would've never been successful.

    Fat Joe might have ended up signing him. I have no idea weather he would have blown up to the level he did. I feel that Dre's co sign and production were pivotal in launching Ems career. Without Dre, Em would never have made My Name Is, or at the very least, the beat would be different. Maybe he would have been an indie darling. Who knows.

    Probably would have signed with Duckdown if nothing came, which wouldnt of been a bad thing either he had would of made a name underground but then no one knows for sure.

    I think Em would be happier if he ws just Royce status

    Idk what would happen if he didn't get the dre cosign but if he was black he'd be Redman. I know that isn't in question but I give no f---s

    Exactly. Without Dre I honestly don't think he would've ever gotten a record deal elsewhere. This is why he always says Dre "saved his life" Keep in mind he was already nearly 27 when Dre signed him. If that didn't happen he probably would've kicked around in the Detroit underground for a couple more years before giving up completely.

    Dre's co-sign is one of the biggest reasons why he blew up.
