Also, their implication is what... that only white artists from Detroit have been hugely successful or black artists aren't successful on the same level... ?
Because, ICP are all white and if that's one of their prime examples... that exposes their bullshit right front and center. Because, they're hardly massive are they. They've had a long, torturous undergruond career - they don't shift a million a week and never did.
Because they're not that talented and don't make great music. Simple as that.
So if being white is a key factor or the only major factor they're implying, why the fuck didn't ICP do 'Eminem numbers'. TALENT sells.
The reason fucking Esham and others don't sell on a major level is because they don't make hugely catchy music, it's as fucking simple as that. Can Esham make music as melodic as "Lose Yourself"? no he can't. And that's why he's not fucking Eminem.
A good MC is not necessarily a good musician. Many rappers don't have a brilliant musical mind. That's why Kanye West is hugely successful, (and OH LOOK he's black) why? because his music is MELODICAL. It resonates outside of rap. That's the fucking key. These morons focusing on race are clutching at straws and have their eye off the ball completely.
Because what the fuck is their excuse for 2Pac? 75 million records. Or how about Michael Jackson, a black artist in a primarily white genre. And he remained black in appearance in his prime years and yet... one of the biggest selling artists of all-time bar none. Again, they seem to conveniently ignore these contradictory success' and just support their own theories.
And yes I realize this specific video is on about Detroit in particular, but they're just now focusing on that as they can't prove their paranoid babble on a broader scale. They're just so desperate to blame their smaller success' on race. Desperate, desperate and sad. Get some self-respect.
Idiots.
