umm no...."my name is" didn't influence anyone. i don't hear any rappers trying to emulate that style. everyone is using the "gangsta" image portrayed by N.W.A. and i mean EVERYONE! the only thing eminem influenced in hip hop was for company's to sign more white rappers. he had impact by breaking records, winning awards but no influence on the music itself.
Don Breezio:
actually he brought a lot of non rap fans to rap...just like snoop did back in 93...rap would not be the same without eminem...and while my name is wasnt exactly a quality song...it had a huge impact on hip hop and it set up other white rappers to try and make it in the game...it doesnt seem to be working...while bubba sparxxx tries to rap with a peice of straw in his mouth the good white rappers arent signed ::) ...but he definetely opened doors and made ppl a little more open minded...
white Boy:
eminem had an impact, just becasue nobody wanted to rap like him, dont mean he dint influence it, eminem had a huge influence, a white boy, backed by dre, who can rhyme amazingly, and raps about the craziest shit,.. no impact, how many people dont know who he is, thats an impact...i think what makes an impact is a new style, doesnt matrter if it is copied by others.
slick rick, made story telling rap
nelly, country gramar, new shit (literaly) new style
bone thugs, new style
plus all the things mentioned

Don Breezio said as much influence as N.W.A. Eminem had no influence on the music. He didn't change the way it sounds like Dre did with The Chronic or Public Enemy did with It Takes A Nation Of Millions. All he did was break sales records, win countless awards, open doors for white rappers <--- his only influence on the music itself otherwise everything else only benefits himself.
Impact and influence are different.
