lol so naive. He revolutionized rap and the music industry in so many different ways that shaped the scene today. By bringing it to the masses, sure he has a lot of white fans that only hear the hook and tune just like every other big artist, but he also has a massive following from nearly everyone in the industry that recognizes insane talent. If you honestly don't recognize just how significant and talented he was and has been then you owe it to yourself to do some proper research etc instead of just trying to be what i like to term a "Contrarian Sheep" where you blindly reject popular opinion because it's the fad thing to do or you think you are different from other conformists.

Look at how manufactored the music scene was before he arrived. It was all "i'm a barbie girl"/spice girls/nsync/backstreet boys/will smith" everything in the world is perfect propaganda back when it was considered inappropriate to talk about things like depression, share a controversial opinion and the message was to never question anything (hence why we now hear about so much sexual abuse in hollywood now where back then, you would be humiliated by daring to speak out) , it will all work out perfect in the end. He completely changed that with his story telling ability on the Slim Shady LP that catapulted him to overnight stardom and helped make him too big to be silenced. His fights over censorship and profanity while demonstrating just how messed up the world is through his eyes talking about the things everyone was aware of but refused to discuss due to fear of being labelled weird or an outcast. Even Bonnie & Clyde where he talks about killing Kim and dumping her body in the ocean while he has his baby daughter next to him and explaining it to her is a twisted masterpiece. He let the world know that having twisted fantasies and negative thoughts are part of life and is perfectly normal for many as an outlet for anger thinking about something they'd never do. The emotion in the original demo he recorded of rock bottom is another haunting insight into how different he was and how difficult life could be, you can hear the emotion and distress in his voice as he recorded it after being fired 5 days before xmas and his babys birthday, straight after it he went home and attempted suicide by overdosing. To portray such an open insight was previously considered career suicide.

As for his white fans, that's just a racist stereotype that people always mention despite him having a big ethnic fanbase as well. The stigma that was spread because black people are envious of his fame and need a reason to justify it. It's a very unfortunate thing as well, because they cop-out with thinking that they can't achieve certain things in life while he can because of skin color, yet ignore the fact he suffered just as much as anyone due to his skin color and reverse racism. Early in his career he had to work twice as hard to get where he was, ignore the naysayers and getting booed as soon as people saw him before he could win them over with pure skill. Noone wanted to sign a white rapper,Dr Dre thought he was black before he met him but decided he was just too good to let get away regardless, so did most of his fans that had only heard him on radio before the SS LP.

Go and watch any of his live underground performances that have surfaced like in 97 before SSLP was released. He was often the only white guy performing and even the only white guy in the joint with the black underground rap fanatics would go nuts for him, His early stuff was so revolutionary it blew most of their minds before they could even consider his skin color.

Any millennial haters should go and reevaluate just how good the uncensored SS LP was and properly listen to the lyric and tune in just don't give a f--k, rock bottom, low down and dirty, brain damage, role model , still don't give a f--k. They are all works of pure art with a few written years before he was exposed to any fame or money.
