No matter what Eminem ever does, accomplishes, or makes, people are always gonna say it's because he's white. That's just as racist as what they're claiming.

Word..
and if your talkin about just the movies.. 'Pac & cube have done movies and made money..
if it was all about the colour of the skin how fuck fuck are half the rappers making money in rap today? look at the lights of Master P and Dre.. they millionairres.. and look at all the black actors.. there are fuckin loads.. so dont start sayin its only the whites that are successful..
-
yo dude, cube has been makin it big in the movie game for a while, next friday made over 100 mil i think and barber shop did extremely well too, and friday after next should do good, so its not all about color.
another thing, im not an eminem fan but i wanna see this movie, because i love hip hop and thats it.

I agree totally!!! The fact that he is white is big part of it, He's a good raper with Dr.Dre so blacks feel him some what, and the fact that he's white makes yong white people feel like they have someone who they can connect with on a hip-hop level. Dre and Snoop are two of the biggest rap stars and their movie diddnt do shit, tupac was the biggest rap star ever and his movie's were all good but they never got as much hype as Eminem. but Eminem knows the reason he's so big is becuse he's white he says it himself. so it really doesnt matter.
-
Fuckin idiots...Skin Color matters huh?...LMFAO...No, promotion matters u idiot...Did u see how much promotion "8 Mile" got? Yea, that's because it was on Universal Pictures, duhhh...
What the fuck do u expect? It's Eminem...He has an amazing talent, of course his movie is gunna make more money than a low budget Roc-a-Fella movie...Of course jealous black guys are gunna say "it's cause he's white"...
Yea, and Michael Jordan is white too, that's why "Space Jam" was a big movie...Yea, Ice Cube is white, that's why "Friday" was so huge...yea, Denzel Washington is white, that's why he's considered the greatest actor ever by many...
White=Succes? Tell that to Necro, Cage, Miilkbone, Kane and all the white rappers out there struggling to make it in the rap game...Shit, even Bubba Sparxx failed to blow up...You're comments are ignorant and racist...PeACe

I agree, if you swapped snoop for eminems role in the movie... it wouldn't have been a blockbuster hit.... that's just how I feel... call it racist, but its fact...

That's cuz Snoop doesn't have the same success as Eminem...Swap Eminem with Denzel Washington, and it woulda made the same amount of money...
-
nah nah big dogg...ya seen how long denzel took to get a oscar award...i doubt if denzel eva debut at numba 1 on da box office with 54mill..a mean when i say this dont feel anyway bad cuz its reality..most ya'll get offended cuz ya'll white but its da truth and ya'll white folks can't blame me for sayin this cuz iam a black man and u have never experience being a black man in this world...P.S I AIN'T TRY'NA HATE EITHER IAM JUS BEING REAL WID IT
-
I am not a huge eminem fan, but he IS a better actor than most rappers judging from this movie,............besides, this movie was produced by the guy who did A BEAUTIFUL MIND, whereas most movies with rappers are usually do not have a ton of talent behind the scenes..........
oh ya, snoop is my favourite rapper ever, but he is the worst rapper/actor i have ever seen, if he starred in this movie it would be completely shit.
-
It's funny how the whiteboys dickryde Em so much...Fools have alot to learn if they don't think skin color matters...
-
As far as Eminem being a good actor in the movie, he had no choice, he was playing himself LOL
And I don't see why peeps like NIK are shitting themselves over this thread. It's the truth. Don't even try to act like his skin color has nothing to do with his success. Hell, Eminem admitted it in a couple of interviews that his color has alot to do with his success. That's what got people listening to him in the first place cause HE IS A WHITE RAPPER.
Don't jump on me though, the reason Vanilla Ice, Bubba Sparxxx and other white rappers didn't have the same amount of success as Em is because Em actually HAS TALENT. That's why his popularity grows with each album he produces, cause the man has skill. He's overrated and blown way out of proportion because alot of white kids have only given him a listen and think he is the only rapper out there with that ability.
All of his lyrics that came under controversy played a role in his popularity too. But all these organizations can give a fuck about about any black rapper that talks about killing his wife or saying fuck his mom.
Believe me, I know a bunch of guys that are strictly into Rock that will only listen to Eminem.
I could care less though, because I don't even care about skin as long as you produce good music but don't even deny that cause it's truth.

redman cant rhyme for shit? slap yourself !

Of course skin color matters. White people feel more comfortable listening to (and representing) music from people they can identify with. The highest economical bracket in the US is white people. There are black rappers and artists that come along that are often more palatable to white people, but in the end none could be so identifiable as a WHITE person. White suburbia is intrigued by rap/hip-hop music but realistically rich Jewish Josh Goldstein from long island cant identify with Jamall Williams the Compton Thug gangster rapper who kills people over welfare checks. Eminem raps about shit white kids know more about and can identify with, that’s why white people would be more inclined to buy "The Eminem Show" over something like "Niggaz wit Attitude" lol
-
Think bout it. Eminem is a role model for all the lil white kids and one of the reason its because they finally found a rapper that speak his mind +he's white just like them and funny remember the song "my name is" there was sum funny stuff on the video same with real slim shady if all this was from a black dude they would say what the fuck this dude is doin
what can we do bout it anyway its white mans world

You just exposed yourself as knowing absolutely nothing about hiphop...

OMG did I just hear you say Redman cant rhyme for shit?? GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE. I love Em as much as the next dude, but he aint fuckin with Redman. Redman is the MC who practically blueprinted Em's style, not to mention Red has two classic albums under his belt, while Em has none.

I suppose Kurupt is a lyrical mastermind...

I never said Redman can't flow, idiot...I said Redman can't rhyme...His rhyme structure is the same as Snoops...AA/BB, 1 syllabul rhymes...That type of shit...PeACe
-
Seriously dogg, you jock Em too hard. That comment about Redman proves it.
-
Em has skills and all but the fact that he is white played a small role in his movie success. Promotion played a huge and I mean a huge role. For gods sake he is everywhere, my stupid little cousins wanted to see the movie and they dont even give a shit about him being white. all the care was his name was in it EMINEM EMINEM, on a side note i havent seen the movie but every1 tells me he did a hell of an acting job
and NIK damn Redman is dope and that comment was just straight up ignorant man!!!!!!!
-
It's a fucked up world homies...
a bottle of blond hair dye/Talent plus the industry behind u = 8-mile.
If Em was Black/or minority in any way...he would be just another underground act period ImO.
Yo please do not speak on other rapper's in this thread...

Sad, but true.

You're outta your mind. White people were 90% of NWA's fans.

i'm white... where my record deal at?
-

STFU...I'm tired of you (and all the haters) hating on Eminem...Yea, I jock Em so hard...That's why i made a fuckin thread saying I was disapointed with the "8 Mile Soundtrack", right?...Now close your mouth...When I said Redman can't rhyme, I meant compared to Eminem...Redman is not on Eminems level...Did u fuckin hear Redmans album "Malpractice"? Shit was horrible...Sure he put out two great albums, but he's no where near Eminems level...And you like Ja Rule, so please don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about...PeACe

Kurupt was dope lyrically from 92-95...True he ain't worth a shit these days...

i agree n both disagree with this post, kuz like if eminem was black, hed be a really big star still, but not as big as he is, kuz his white at the moment, n alot of young white dudes look up 2 him, its jus fact, they'll buy emimens album n copies snoops typa thing.....i mean one of my homies i got major luv for is white, n his into rap but loves eminem n like snoop but buys all of eminems shit but not snoops luz he looks up to him n feels he kan relate
but like even if eminem was black, he got enough talent to push major units, but not as big as he is at the moment kuz like alot of lil young white dudes n chicks wouldnt be buyin his shit then
jus my opinion, theres nuttin racist about it, its jus what i feel, but no doubt eminem got major skillz to, so i dont hate
