"love the way you lie" was a bad example, that was one of the few eminem songs that DID get in heavy rotation on most rap stations (hit #7 on the r&b/hip hop chart)

aite you pay more attention that stuff but i imagine that was the rihanna aspect rather than the eminem

that doesn't really matter, does it?

anyway eminem is a weird case because EVERY mainstream hip hop fan pays lip service to him being a genius etc. but he was never really big on rap radio

some dude you didn't pick a year

88 i guess but that's more because i feel like that's a better pinpoint of the best year of its era than that i necessarily prefer it to the overall 93 era

You know who was also probably around the 23rd best selling artist of a given year?: ORIGINAL CONCEPT

^ this is amazing

It doesn't matter whether you like max b
or if you prefer rap from 88 to 93
because a leader has arrived to part rap's Red Sea
