As, when Em is still so committed to rapping and lyricism (even if he's not as good, he's still majorly in to the craft), it's a real insult to say he's not a rapper lmao.
Hopefully Em will hear that and others calling him pop and saying he doesn't do hip hop now though and it'll inspire him to make better music.
But to call things like "Cold Wind Blows" or "Almost Famous" pop or the artist who made those a pop artist is absurd lmao. They couldn't be more offensive, in your face, defiant, angry, rebellious and thumping. Regardless of quality or whatever you think about them, to say they're pop is simply... wrong, lmao. They're closer to heavy metal.
You can't categorize content which is edgy, offensive, divisive and deeply personal and realistic pop. By its definition pop aims to appeal to as many as possible, it's broad and unoffensive. The complete opposite of Eminem.
All people see the odd feature then conclude he's pop? ridiculous.
In reality, pop is not a derogatory word, nor does it define a certain subset or genre of music.
The fact he has diamond records and anything else he puts out, will without a doubt, go platinum, makes him pop....not content.
Johnny Cash is considered a pop culture legend but he sung about cocaine, prison, drinking, killing women as well.
