Ebro Addresses Tweet About Eminem & Asks If He Is An Unappreciated Artist In Hip Hop?

Ebro went viral on Thursday, Jan. 23, after sending a tweet out about how Eminem is appreciated in hip hop.
He wrote, "Eminem treats rap how black folks have had to treat life... be 5x better, work 5x harder than everyone and still not necessarily get respect"
The debate continues as Ebro in the Morning asks if he is an unappreciated artist in the genre and some listeners join in on the conversation.

I agree with Ebro. I’m saying this as a black woman. Eminem done bodied almost everybody in the game and proved he one of the greatest. To me he’s the GOAT. No questions.

“When Em’ shouts out people don’t Google.” I did. I started out an Eminem fan and became a rap fan. From Em’ I discovered Tupac, Rakim, OutKast, Jay-Z etc. He opened the door into hip-hop for me and I will never be ashamed of that, only thankful.

[@ibetudidit23]

@Aden Sandoval You sound crazy as hell....'white boy rap" FOH!!! I've been into hip hop before day one. I do know Em is apart of hip hop history. He's the growth of what hip hop has become today. He's a throwback of real lyrics and storytelling. The issue of today is record companies mainly promote mumble rap and dumb down music with just a beat. The problem is that the general public is accepting it. Hearing Em's lyrics which can have double and sometimes triple meaning can blow some people's minds. Respect the art form.

Sadly it’s always gonna be a situation when White people will overrate Eminem and Black people will underrate Eminem and the debate will just continue on and on and on and on if he belongs up there with the greats. Me personally as a big hip hop fan, he’s up there in my Top 5. But everyone has their own taste/opinion and that’s totally fine. We all enjoy whatever we want. Unfortunately there are just gonna that select bunch who will praise him for the wrong reasons and criticize him for the wrong reasons. Just enjoy the music and if you don’t then keep it moving.

I would Think one of the reasons a lot of People hate on eminem is because of how annoying his stans are. They cant take critisim and rarest knows anything about hiphop which is what makes People mad and hate om Eminems content. I also Think eminem is a funny thing to talk about because sometimes he makes apselutely horrible Music and sometimes he makes apselutely phenomenel Music.

White privilege just means that in western society, you have certain advantages over other ethnicities in the same class as you. Not that you can't struggle or even be discriminated against. There are various studies suggesting that you are more likely to empathise with people who look like you. Which means you are more likely to be given a break in this society.

A lot of fans are gonna be white just because he is white. That's just a fact. The black artists get those fans, but there's a skill barrier they have to overcome to get those same fans that Em gets. It's just psychological. People gravitate more to those that look like them. So in America, until we're completely homogeneous racially. It's always gonna be about color.

I don't think that it's better than The Eminem Show, but I agree with the rest of your statement. Lyrically, Kamikaze is just as dope as Music To Be Murdered By but it just isn't as long, which I guess could cause it to be overlooked in his discography. Sonically though, The Eminem Show is his best and most consistent album front to back. What's unique about Eminem is that he evolves his skillset with every album to the point that he doesn't even sound like the same artist with each outing; sometimes the changes are good and sometimes they are bad, but I think he is now at the point where he's taking the best of each evolution and blending it into his current sound. A big change that altered his music is that the industry standard for recording consoles shifted from analog to digital after the early 2000s. Compared to digital, Analog just makes everything sound so much more alive and there really is no comparison, but sometimes you have to make sacrifices to enhance the ease of usage, because cutting analog tape is not fun at all. Back to his lyrics though, Kamikaze and Music To Be Murdered By are by far the best in his career when it comes to command of the english language. They have everything from idioms to double entendres, similes to metaphors, inner schemes to multi-syllabic rhymes, and patterns that ride every instrument in the instrumental while switching flows several times in each song. The impact of his music might not be the same, because the late 90s and early 2000s were a different time, but he is sharper than ever when it comes to his craft and no one can take that from him. Even Revival had it's moments, the second half of it had some of his most heartfelt lyrics with the same skill level shown on these last 2 albums; the song sequencing and far more than one too many musical misteps are what ruined the rest of Revival for me, but cuts like Framed, Arose, Bad Husband, Believe, and Castle are vintage Eminem. Revival is a perfect example of bad production and taking risks with too many experimental sounds overshadowing phenomenal lyricism and emotional content. Throw in some politics that entirely contradict what he stood for the first at least 15 years of his career and you get Revival, a certified mess. We As Americans and Like Home/Nowhere Fast are polar opposites in terms of message and Untouchable musically hurts my ears. Thank God he dropped 2 cohesively structured projects though with Kamikaze and Music To Be Murdered By both track wise and inner song structure, because Revival was all over the place with too many Eminems to count.
