    The first one doesn't necessarily change the game
    Second one, maybe, but if Eminem never made it would it have meant that rappers who didn't rap about gangsta s--- wouldn't have made it either?
    Did the fact that Eminem didn't rap about gangsta s--- effect him blowing up?

    90s - Dre: 2 classics, discovered Marshall
    2000s - Em: without question
    2015s - anyone but Drake? Too depressing if it's him. Will most likely be Kendrick if he gets some proper beats on next album.

    How in the world did Eminem have a bigger impact "musically"
    Rofl, Kanye also had 808s and heartbreak in the same time span. Redefined the genre.

    and u really think MMLP and TES are arguably the "best 2 rap albums to ever be made back to back?" Come onw
    Wait WHAT. Encore and relapse are better than most albums in 2015? Did u hit ur head m8
    yeah but this is false
    for the work he did in 00-04?
    how are eminems albums better
    ur also like 16 no?
    The only this proves, once again, is that eminem is one of the most well known rappers of all time. That's not what this thread is about
    kendricks best projects are better than along drakes tho
    False
    no :stan:
    all you're doing is showing your lack of knowledge re: hip hop
    Name another a rap album before TCD that sounded like TCD. The content, the production, etc. You can say the same from Em's first few albums, but the problem is they had no lasting impact. They were different than everything else out at the time though, thats for sure.

    As for kanye, rappers like J Cole wouldn't exist without early kanye. Rappers like drake wouldn't exist without middle kanye. rappers like travis scott wouldnt exist without current kanye.
    Its only "weak" because it doesnt help Eminem's case. We've been talking about a rappers influence the ENTIRE thread. And this is one of the ways to judge their influence on the genre, and kanye is head and shoulders above the rest.
    you dont know your history. i dont either, entirely. but you're literally talking out of your a---. Kanye was a noted producer before this debut. Its not in the same context as f---ing will smith. smh.
    Yeah, they can. But then the question would be, WHY is it it "more important?" Lets say "no one rapped about his personal life like Em," sure. Now tell me why that matters? Did it influence other rappers/genre? Did it have a lasting impact?

    Or is it an isolated occurrence, like Eminem's entire prime.
    Man you keep going back and forth in your criteria. You said "rapper of the decade" = EVERYTHING. And if we include EVERYTHING, eminem is far ahead in terms of popularizing rap (sales, fanbase, etc). But his quality out put in the 0s, was very short-lived.

    Wayne and Kanye were both extremely popular, (not as much as Eminem), but eminem also disappeared after like 04. And they didnt. Kanye was there for the entire decade putting out great, influential projects. Wayne appeared to the hardest working rapper alive in his prime. Both Kanye and Wayne had more of the "whole package" than eminem, clearly. Accepting that doesnt mean taking Eminem's accomplishments from him.
    eminem became the biggest wankster alive before he dropped off the grid.
