What if Eminem was black?

[strongboy_f5]

What do u guys think if he was black,wud he still become the best rapper alive and be a multi-grammy winner?And wud u still like him?

[Brandon S]

yeah obviously i would like him, no one should like his for the sole reason that hes white. i know theres some people that do like him just cuz hes white but music doesnt have a color. One of my best friends (whos black) is pretty much a "stan" and loves his music as much as i do. his sales probably wouldnt be as much, but how would skin color effect your musical ability? it doesnt, and em would be just as respected as an mc if he was black

I think the fact that he's white and that he hooked up with Dre are the two main reasons he got so big.
If he was black and hooked up with Dre, I don't think he'd be as successful as he is now.
And if he was black and didn't hook up with Dre, he would just be yet another "fish in the sea".
In some way it feels racist to write like this, but let's face is, hip hop is a black culture.
And Eminem just blew the door up for white rappers with a shitload of C4 explosives.

So my final statement is, if Eminem was black... no, he would not be as successful as now.
Sad but true.

Not these kind of questions again, this is like the question what would've happend if Dr. Dre had signed Eminem...

I would still like him. Skin Color wouldnt effect anything but sales, and possibly a change in fanbase.
I'm black, and go to school with all Blacks & Latinos and I have like 5 friends who are big Em fans. Actually when Encore came out, everyone in my school was raving about it. Besides people riding on Weezy, Em has some respect here in North Jerz.
To be honest, publicity he would get would sadly be lowered if he were black. Sad but true....

[Solace]

no i don't think he would be as big

I think that his skin color is one of major reasons he sold so well (Sure the talent helped a bit).

but it really could go either way so it's hard to debate...maybe if he was black, infinite would of sold big, who knows

Thanks for stealing my identity, Chet

Yes, haha.

I doubt that he would sell less, there are other white rappers out there that are quite good, but they arnt as near as succesfull as Em, i just think Em is special, and if he was black he would have sold even more i believe

[Kez]

Well he would have sold approximately 50% of his total sales; this is knowledge he picked up through life experience, rather than through his education at the establishment Lincoln High School.

If Eminem was black..he would be Barack Obama...your future President

[James R.]

look at my sales, let's do the math, if I was black, I would've sold half

I think that pretty much sums it up

slim shady is what made eminem what he is today...
