You can't be serious with this.
No, I can see how Im coming off that way but its not my intention.
Instead of breaking it down in black and white, Ill break it down in styles. One style is eminems...funny but good rap ( its kinda hard to describe eminems style of rap, but i think its clear what Im talking about...eminems music sounds different then most rap music ). Then there is the Trap rap I like to call it... Jeezy, TI, Wayne, Outkast, fab, jayz, 50 cent, dre....Basically the "gangster" rap and the "Trap" music...hard hood beats with catchy hooks and shit. 
I believe that if you seperate the two styles, there are more fans of the hood music in general, than fans of eminem. 
Eminem will not grasp the title of greatest of all time because there are so many more fans out there that prefer the gangster trap shit rather than eminems crazy, funny, rapist flow. 
Now to tie that in with what I was trying to say earlier. There are more hip hop/rap fans in hoods/ghettos then other parts of the state/country (imo). These hoods and ghettos consist of mostly ethnic people ( mexicans, blacks etc ). Meaning, (imo) there are more ethnics rap fans then white rap fans...And these people prefer the ganster trap shit over eminems shit.
Its not me being racist or ignorant...its just reality that most of eminems fans are white. And eve though he's an insane album seller, that doesnt really mean that he's the prefered artist in hip hop, just means he has a lot of fans. And just because he makes hip hop music doesnt mean all of his fans are fans of hip hop in general.
My point is hard to make, but I hope I made it.
BTW GGGG, nothin in my last post had anything to do with race. I think your taking what Im saying out of context a bit. And just because racism is bad, doesnt mean generalizations arent correct for the most part....
