Icon or Nah: Eminem

[Chicity]

Doing something a lil different. Gonna run down the legends and give them an upper echelon place to sit, if they worthy

Starting out with America's favorite white rapper: Marshall Mathers

His resume speaks for itself

 

[GOAT]

Whats diff between icon & legend?

 

[OhMars]

Isnt legend higher then an Icon?

 

[Chicity]

Y all really wanna do this?

Ok what's a good title for someone ABOVE fucking Gucci Mane and Too Short?

 

[5th Letter]

Eminem? Man gtfoh

 

[5th Letter]

Gucci Mane>>Eminem

 

[Chi-Town B]

Icon is higher than legend

 

[Chicity]

Is not Eminem a universal Legend? Or does he need a thread?

 

[Lou Cypher]

He is above legendary status. People who dont even like rap music listen to eminem. Dude has die hard fans in almost every country all over the world.

Music has taken a dive though as of late. Also, his music hasnt aged too well imo. That doesnt take away from his impact or his fanbase though as they are still going strong.

He is an Icon.... Number one selling billboard artist of the 2000’s

 

[AZTG]

I voted icon but a part of me died in the process

 

[JJ Evans]

One of the dopest lyricist ever in the game.

He’s an Icon.

So what about relevance/longevity?

It was used as a measuring stick for others.

Dude fell off

So maybr he just a legend who had a good run?

Or not even that?

He without a doubt is a top tier lyricist.

He has a good run through the 2000's.

But this past decade....nah

Others that didn't make the cut have the same tenure.

And the freestyle was for promo. What about that album he dropped soon after?

Trash

Trash

you're well within your right to hold the quality of his music against him for the sake of this argument. but longevity and relevance? naw
