RHHers...Is there room in the industry for another great white emcee?!
Question: RHHers!.!.!.Is there room in the industry for another great white emcee!?
I love Em, but is he the "end all" when it comes to white emcees!? I know cats that turn down other white cats just to hear what Em is doing!.!.!.what are your thoughts on this!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
I don't think so!. At least not anytime soon!. That's not to say that there won't be more talented White emcees; but I don't think that the general public will be very accepting of one for a long time!. For the foreseeable future, any time a White emcee starts to make noise, he (or she) is going to be compared to Eminem!. That's just the sad reality of the situation!.
I remember a few years ago reading an article in a mainstream magazine (sorry, can't remember which one) about "the next Eminem!." And they listed guys like Slug, Aesop Rock, Sage Francis, Cage!.!.!.I thought to myself, "NONE of these guys sounds like Eminem!." The only reason they were comparing them was because they were White (and Slug barely even qualifies in THAT regard)!.
Let's not forget that when he first hit the mainstream, Eminem had to overcome the "next Vanilla Ice" tag!. And the reason he was able to get past that was LARGELY due to his association with Dr!. Dre!. It took a while for people to recognize him for his actual talents!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Absolutely, there is always room!. Paul Wall and Bubba Sparxxx are still holding strong!.
For the future, I would be on the lookout for a dude named Question!. He is working with Jonathan Rothem on an album!. Check out a couple of his songs and you'll see the talent of this guy!. "Question", "Thank God", and "Pull The Plug" are all great!.
Another guy is Jon Young, based out of Orlando!. His beats are probably better than his raps, but he's still really good!. Try out "City I Luv", "Lifted", and "Doin' My Thang"Www@Enter-QA@Com

ehhh naw
the lack of white rappers in mainstream hiphop will always work against the white mc!.!.he will always be labeled m&m
if slug hit it big!.!.eminem
copywrite!.!.!.!.eminem
even tho they sound nothing like him
u get it i guess
a big over flow of white rappers would have to hit the scene to erase that label
im sure every black shortly after jackie robinson was labeled "jackie robinson"!.!.not to say em was the first white rapper!.!.but u feel meWww@Enter-QA@Com

i second pure delight!.!.!. also, someone mentioned that paul wall was still holding it down!. i think he's thriving right now and he's been on the up (improving his style not just his bank account) for a few years now and contrary to some others' thoughts, i can't ever remember him being compared to em in any way!.!.!. am i wrong!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
There is room for another one (I know you're talking about Asher Roth) but I just don't think you're gonna find one BETTER than Em!. A lot of people consider Eminem top 10 of all time out of anybody, so to be better Asher would have to be really damn goodWww@Enter-QA@Com
i think there is room in the industry for another great MC!. Period!. Black, white, purple, or orange!. We could use more!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
No!. Anything is possible!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
I would say Asher Roth dude is nice
but i needa hear more stuff from him
and like I said before, he sounds like Em
that could be bad for him!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

cmon if Soulja Boi is considered rap then anything is possibleWww@Enter-QA@Com
