Who else remembers all the hate Eminem used to get on rap forums in 99??

Anybody remember those days and remember the switch that took place after Dre's album and MMLP then everyone came around a year too late?? 

The underground of course supported Eminem because he came up through the underground but I'm talking those early days of rap forums on the net and then regular rap or music fans you would come across.  Nobody received more hatred than Eminem.

Of course... I mean even hate can sell... because he was at least talked about.  And when you are talked about you will get attention and he got attention and he got sales, but there was a ton of hate.

Sccit:
most rap fans hate him again now.. a good portion of black folks swear they never fucked wit him in the first place, but if u was around 99-04 u know that aint true

Okka:
This was a few years before I started reading music forums, but I do remember that there's always been people who hated Eminem.

TRAX (SFV):
I thought he was a joke at first and wrote him off, but when I heard The Way I Am, I was like yea this dude's for real.  And Real Slim Shady is funny.

I remember reading about Eminem in Vibe Magazine back in the day before his debut and was interested in hearing Dre's new protege.  "My Name Is" came out and I thought wth is this?  He didn't sound like what I was expecting.  It grew on me pretty quickly though.  I wasn't really online much back then and definitely not on music forums, but most people I knew personally weren't hating on him.  He didn't really rub me the wrong way until the Encore album came out.
