[@michaelrice6620]

Eminem wouldnt have been what he was if he didnt sign with dre. The fact that dre allowed em to do em most record labels would of never allowed that and tried to turn him into some gangsta rapper. Dre embraced his crazy shit and even his beats for em at the time were not dre’s original sound the beats were catered for em’s type of story telling flow.

[@stfu8080]

Exactly

[@Hotcards99]

He would've still been really good though like if Jordan didn't play with pippen

[@stillgotyourmom]

@@Hotcards99 but thats not basket ball 😅 the guys right Em needed Dres sound and aftermath built him up as a character. You guys still dont understand that their image is more important than the skill.

I've been thinking about that for years, always said Pun was so underrated as a lyricist and doesn't get that recognition he deserved, but imagine if Em was on Capital Punishment back in the day..

[@chrischris3922]

Eminem obviously still would of been the best rapper because he kills every beat

[@1973tinytim]

I don't think he would of been as big Just due to Joe not really understanding what em was really about. With Dre em was given the freedom to say what he wanted. Em and Dre just was ment to be destiny so to say.

[@jayceh]

Yes but those Dre beats though. They were perfect for Em.

[@stfu8080]

Nah hell no he wouldn’t, he’s not the best now even signing with Dre and Dre basically made Em’s career what it is, without Dre Em wouldn’t have been as big that’s what happens when your albums are produced by the greatest hip hop producer of all time.

how could you possibly know that for sure? are you psychic? can i have tomarrows lottery numbers too while you are at it? for all you know proof would have stayed alive if eminem signed under fat joe and never fell into that dark abyss that is depression and had to take years off, and would have been even bigger than he is today for all you know,

I fucking love Eminem my favorite rapper of all time!! but idk if Eminem would of been slim shady without dr Dre

[@GenX_US_Marine]

Em would have made it big regardless of where he signed, but signing with Dre was the best business move for both of them. Had Em signed with Fat Joe would we the fans have gotten the 8 mile movie or Lose Yourself etc...probably not.

[@cagnazzo82]

Pun would be rapping about 'dead in the middle of little italy...' and then Em's verse would come next. Straight 🔥. But probably not on the level of Em and Dre. He wouldn't have achieved his full potential.

[@GenX_US_Marine]

@@cagnazzo82 I guarantee that demo version of “Lose “Yourself” would have been the final version had Em signed elsewhere. The current version although not produced by Dre the strings and cinematic sound was all Dre’s idea to add to the record to make it sound bigger.

[@rootedin808]

Em wouldn’t have been a big star with anyone else cause everyone was too busy putting out gangsta rap and just being hard and flashy. Dr. Dre let Em do him which was being the comical jokester with a dark demented twist and there wasn’t anyone out at that time like him.

Dre's beats and co sign was jus destiny but joe pun n em on a track different but still history!

[@lh2823]

As a fan of rap in the 90's and actually remembers the group the Outsidaz (lauryn hill was on their mixtape and remember seeing their tourbus around 1997 in Toronto) Eminem would NOT have been as famous without the co-sign from Dr.Dre, Snoop etc for various reasons. With Pun and Fat Joe he def wouldve got a platinum album (lots of rappers were going platinum back then) but he might not have had the longevity. And various other reasons

[@PhantomOfThePsy-Opera]

Joe wouldn't have known what to do with that talent anyway... Slims destiny was meant to be next to dre

[@gerryross7834]

Nothing but honesty from fat Joe. Much respect

[@Nirotix]

Eminem would have blown no matter who he signed with, that's a fact. He's a lyrical genius that's able to bend words and syllables while keeping it real to hip hop. But let's be honest here, Dre and Eminem were a match made in heaven. Em inspired Dr. Dre to get back into the lab and do what he absolutely excels at, making killer beats.

[@TFD-sn5nt]

And this is why everything happens for a reason

[@jonnyOysters]

Obviously Em would still have made something regardless because he's insanely talented. But I'm not sure if Eminem would of been successful as he has without Dr Dre. I think the stars aligned when they got to work together. Both being ridiculously hard working and perfectionists helped catapult him to stardom.

[@Baked-as-Bread]

fat joe a real one for mentioning outsidaz

[@Classic7-4-7]

[@cryptogaminggroup5746]

Possibly not the most popular opinion but Em and Pun could have outdone anything Dre ever did. To me Pun is one of the best if not the best MC ever. Dre has a classic sound but nothing he was involved with prior to Em is in the same lyrical realm as endangerd species. I personally prefer Pun to Em but acknowledge the skills of Em.

I feel like if eminem was part of terror squad, As a lyricist his pen wouldve been challenged from the jump, Big pun, remy ma, fat joe, Canibus beef probably wouldnt have happened, He wouldve probavly been in that infamous cypher too, and he probably wouldve been friends with Irv and Ja, And 50 probably wouldnt have gotten signed by Dre
