Well first of all, the majority of the human population (or even just American population for that matter) is neither an Eminem fan nor hater. That being said, Eminem is easily the most well known rapper in the world and the biggest selling artist in America in the past decade. Enough for me to say he's attained iconic status. Although if he's not one, then NO rapper is.
Also adding that he's the biggest selling rap artist of all-time according to current certifications. The mainstream success speaks for itself in reference to whether or not he's an icon.
Caution to the wind, complete freedom. Look at these rappers, how I treat 'em, so why the fuck would I join 'em when I beat 'em?
