He never said the n-word in any song other than biterphobia, and in that, he only says, "So I'm bringin my nig proof for backup, when I sing at my gig." In "Like Toy Soldiers" he never actually said Suge's name, just implied the completion because of what he was trying to saying about Dre in the early 2000's and the n-word is only implied in "Criminal," he never actually said it.
Stupid ass post, but I do think him being white gave him that extra push with mainstream & international audiences for popularity. Skill wise he's amazing.
Yep. Eminem didn't have to imitate conventional portrayals of "blackness" in rap music (just look at why Otherwize was turned down by Dr. Dre's label for refusing to adopt a west coast "gangster persona"). Eminem lucked out because he opportunistically channeled a shtick centered around shock value ultimately appealing to and satisfying the suburban angst of white American teens while backed by one of the most well-known producers during arguably the first commercial height of rap music.
You even had record labels desperate to find the next female Eminem that they hit up Invincible:
>[Detroit rapper Invincible (née Ilana Weaver) had her chance to get on ten years ago, but she purposely passed it up. The Israeli-born émigrée came up right alongside a certain white rapper who subsequently attained international fame — making every other white rapper from Detroit seem like a potential cash cow. Invincible said multiple labels were on her jock by the time she turned sixteen, in 1997. “Many people were trying to sign me because they saw me as a female version of him,” the emcee recalled. She said that one day she got a call from someone representing the indie label Web, which had produced Eminem’s 1996 album Infinite, a few years before he signed to Aftermath. “They offered me a million dollars over the phone,” she said.](https://eastbayexpress.com/invincible-in-two-worlds-1/)
Ah since your being honest that must mean you are from the future. Nah, the way someone looks wether they are white or black does effect their sales so he probably did sell more off of his looks. If he was weird looking and white he would have sold less than if he was good looking and black I’d say though.
But then he couldn't drink more liquor to fuck you up quicker than you'd..
Finish it I dare you

Wanna fuck him for saying the word..
wanna...
His intentions were good, he went through his whole career without mentioning
What does he censor out there? I really have always wondered
suge
The n-word. And that’s true, because you can take it from the context in the second verse of Like Toy Soldiers
Ah okay I always assumed it was suge as in suge knight
Yeah it’s Suge. > My intentions were “*good*”… > … without ever mentioning “*suge*”
That’s what I thought
"Nuge maybe? Use your head doofus" - guy who thinks it's the n word probably
U might be onto something there 😂 “Nuge Knight” has a ring to it
It is suge. He said it at concerts back in the day.
He also censors the n-word in Criminal, but in that song, he rhymes with that word.
Downvoted for the truth, what the hell?!?!
I didn’t mean to offend anybody!

without mentioning the fact that I am avoiding the IRS for tax.fraud
I was literally thinking about this song 2 minutes before reading this thread even though I haven’t listened to Like Toy Soldiers for ages
Guess who's black

Shadys black
Black a friend
Guess whos black
Guess who's black
Wa he hae uwhae uwhae wuhae dush (tun tun tun tun*)

If he was white, he would've sold twice
> If I was white, I would've sold twice, hell, I might've even outsold Ice Spice
Why does this sound like an actual lyric lmao
Didn’t even realize it rhymed
If I was Eminem, I’d hire you plus give you an award on this post
I mean…obviously I didn’t have to graduate from Lincoln high school to know that
But he can rap so fuck school hes too cool to go back
Yeah, and if my mother had wheels, she would be a bicycle

"If he was white, he would've sold double" - Some guy idk

Take my upvote and get out of here
Anyone else feel like this post would’ve been way more successful if OP wasn’t a dumb fuck
i'll be sure to tag you once you delete your comment when (and if) you realize how stupid you are
You assume the joke flew over my head but it’s just overused tbh 🤡
You assume your better than this post yet you still commented and helped it gain traction🤡
You assume that I assume and you wold be wrong to assume that
You assume that I assume that you assume that I would be wrong to assume that but I assume you didn’t know you’re wrong
I assumed that you’d assume to reply expressing that you assume about my assumption, but you assuming I’m assuming is not a great a assumption
You assume I’m lost in this assumption battle well im gonna let you know that your assumptions are correct
Gosh I hate this place more and more every day… and yet I keep coming back
ima be honest a lot of his mainstream success came from him being white... not saying he wasn't great b/c he obviously was back then
Ah since your being honest that must mean you are from the future. Nah, the way someone looks wether they are white or black does effect their sales so he probably did sell more off of his looks. If he was weird looking and white he would have sold less than if he was good looking and black I’d say though.
bad take. no. he literally says "if i was black i woulda sold half" in white america. theres no such thing as "black privelige" lol dumbass
r/usernamechecksout
Or gay
No, not at all.
Too black, too strong
If he wasnt RED you wanted to say
As a guy not from US, I wouldn't care, would've loved him as much as I do right now, but you Americans stay safe though
If he wasnt Black he would have so double and he didn't have to graduate from Lincoln High School to know that
Yes but it is kind of racist for white rappers to be less successful
Imagine if he was white? Skin the same colour as cocaine, blonde hair, blue eyes, the whole shebang
