he not lying

eminem made hip hop a mainstream item for a lotta the world

nobody was really checkin for jay-z like that except people that already liked rap

Maybe but jayz was the better artist that had better albums

honestly. if you agree or not do you expect 50 to say anything different

8 mile is the biggest hip hop movie ever and Em’s fanbase is the reason 50 was the gangsta version of nelly

Tron Carter said honestly. if you agree or not do you expect 50 to say anything different

Facts.

he's right

Em put rap in the homes...but I'd say more people wanted to rap after listening to hov than em

I could see why he would say that, 1999-2005 Eminem was a beast and arguably the biggest artist in the world.

Eminem because of the obvious factors: White in a black dominated genre (game), an incredible lyrical talent, making music with Dr. Dre. Em helped push hip-hop and hip-hop culture to a different height and level.

Dis n*gga gargling

Every rapper followed Jay. From the hustler, to the bars to the trends.

On one level this is 50 being 50 and sticking pins in Jay

On another level it's bullsh*t...how can you compare Eminem to the creator of Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint and the Black Album

But then on yet another level it's absolute gospel truth, where's Jay Z's 'Stan'? You might not like it, but Eminem broke the white American mainstream in a way no other rapper has before or since

Eminem skintone got him all those sales its simple
remember you got people that don't like hip hop but Eminem their skintone
so they gravitate to him

plus who buys more hip hop white people so when Eminem came on the scene and they seen somebody that look like that they bought it up more

Jay-Z on the other hand made some young black males who want to be rappers not only take the rapping serious but the business.

50 Cent wouldn't say nothing different

Real ones know Jay has no influence rap wise, business wise he has it

People wanted to rap and be like Nas 50 Cam Wayne

Todays rappers all mention those I mentioned and not jay

Eminem mightve brought it to a wider audience of mostly white kids who might very never listened to hip hop if they didn't see someone that looked liked them.
But no I'm sorry but it isn't true. Some of the super lyricists always say they respect and love Em but way more people that are actually active in hip hop such as rappers, djs and people that actually have something to do with it and aren't just fans that casually listen to the music talk about Jay way more.
Like him or not he's one of the best rappers and has shown people you can come from nothing and be a billionaire in under 50 years so he's an inspiration to a lot of people

This is a lie you hear people talk about Jay with high respect all the time. Maybe not the youngest kids out cuz they had barely even been alive long yet by the time the black album was out. Even people that had beef with him at one point and don't got much of a reason to say good things talk about how he was an inspiration

Eminem ain’t never embraced southern hip hop

fu*k em

Em also said hes so sick and tired of being admired

That’s Cap

acegutta22 said Maybe but jayz was the better artist that had better albums

But that wasn’t the question or subject at hand. There was no reason to put a but in there

Fif Tea Cent

JeanMikal said Eminem ain’t never embraced southern hip hop fu*k em

Yeah cause southern hip hop is hip hop in its lowest form. Most of the garbage in hip hop is from the south.

Tron Carter said honestly. if you agree or not do you expect 50 to say anything different

Absolutely

50 is honest enough to admit where people surpass him and his people

Em certainly sold more records and reached more people.

Em's biggest artist is 50 and Jay's is...Kanye.

Both have...imitators

8 mile was huge

Jay is like the only artist that became the president and CEO of a major legacy hip hop level

This is a debatable one.

arguable.

Without Jiggas success (and Dame), we likely dont get State Prop, dipset, Kanye, Good Music.

Without Eminems success, we dont have G unit, D12, Game, Kendrick, Griselda or "insert white rapper name here".

But Eminem actively sought out artists he thought were dope whereas Jigga didnt really wanna put nobody but Bleek on

To You!

Real ones fu*ked with the south!
