It was like 'Wow, that white guy can really rap'. But now he has gone into that stereotypical 'white Pop rapper' label that he told us all he wouldn't enter. I feel annoyed that the man who was once one of my idols has turned into the Vanilla Ice of his generation, and is partly the reason why rap has gone down hill recently. Even though Rap might be the most profitable style of music nowadays, it certainly isn't the best. And as for someones comments that Black people have made Poppy Rap music aswell, well I think that is true also. But the difference is they make suitable Pop songs, one that still retain that gritty, urban feel. Such as 50 Cent's Just a lil' bit. That was a huge Rap/Pop song, but it wasn't cheesy and didn't make fiddy look cheesy or stupid. Just Lose It, on the other hand, was a Pop song that did the opposite for Eminem. It sold to the little teens girls with no sense of taste. Also, while still on my rant, I would also like to point out that Eminem is rascist. He raps about 'black n*gga hoes' in one of his songs. When an interviewer asked him about this his comeback was truly worrying. What he said was along the lines of 'If the black guy can rap about black girls then why can't I?' I read the lyrics to this song and it makes out that only black women are hoes. To me, Eminem shouldn't get away with that and is putting himself in an even more uncomfortable position with the Black community.
