Eminem is the 1st and entirely consistent(flow wise/not counting lyrical content) white rapper untill a ton of white guys get a fall he will always sell huge numbers. It`s like if there was only one white guy doing R&B like Justin Timberlake, he would dominate because he is the lone part that section of the population refer to.
That said since when is music quality about record sales?
Where is Motzart on the charts? does that prove anything? Eminem like most rappers sings to the last common denominator his tracks are total of 4 letter words for gays and shout to women and regardless of how many records he sells he will not always be half the MC that Dark View of the Roots is.
Eminem and alot of the gangster/flash rap out there is just homophobic trash talking and chest pounding with no soul, my car is bigger, my chain shines brighter ect. Thats why you hardly hear it on the radio a few months later it`s out yet Hendrix still gets airtime.
Rappers with the very person of Hip Hop (Arrested Development,Nas,Roots,Kanye-when he`s not being a self absorbed ass,Talib Kweli,Mos Deff,Blu,Murs,MF Doom,many others that get zero attention on the radio because the accuracy is the industry doesnt need to believe blacks are intelligent, nor does it need to pass in-roads for intelligent music into the industry. People like Alicia Keys and Kanye had to scramble to still get signed because they wernt the common sex and violence rap/r&b types. Thats the truth.
I bought Recovery under the magic that he had recovered from drug misuse and really had something thoughtful to say. Other then Talkin to Myself,No Love,and Not Afraid I felt like I was just hearing the same old mad ramblings of a love sick boy who refuses to raise up and speak about anything but his father or his kinship with his ex-wife.
How is it this crap gets good reviews in most mainstream publications. He cant sing on any of the tracks he tries too. Seriously compare his vocals or lyrical content for that thing to Drakes Thank Me Later it`s not yet a contest he might flow faster but if he`s still talk about gays and hating women it`s just a "Recovery". How can a man rap about his ex-wife for 14years straight and down her in effigy on every single album and yet people arnt over it?
I desire to god some good white rappers put albums out so white kids get a decent role model/influence to mind to other then this crack head who obviously hasnt recovered at all.
Best Hip-Hop album of the year???? sorry not yet close go listen to Nas and Damien Marleys Distant relatives or the Roots latest either of those dwarfs this same a NBA player stomping an ant in lyrical content, soul, passion, and style.
Feel free to pump white trash party while you get down the route with the windows rolled down. I only trust your not headed to a job interview_.2 out of 5 stars, skip it.
