Yeah , I think the last thing you want when you ' re being humiliated in front of the school is to have it go on even longer with a forced apology . <| sep |> I am not 13 . 13 year olds weren ' t even alive when Eminem was in his prime unless you consider that as being alive during TES . It isn ' t fact that they are the worst fans , that is opinion as well . It is subjective . He sells maybe partially due to his differences but mainly bc the dude has talent . His flow and rhyme schemes are insane . Just look at color coded rhyme schemes of The Way I Am or Lose Yourself or heck , just even go listen to Campaign Speech . And if you wanna talk about mainstream , go look at Drake . That ' s about as mainstream as it gets . Kendrick and Cole I wouldn ' t count as mainstream bc they differ greatly from their generation of Future , Young Thug , etc . Biggie and Pac I guess are for their generation , but it ' s tough to deny they are still two of the best ever . But I still feel the they haven ' t ever listened to real music is totally ignorant . Just bc someone likes Eminem more than other artists doesn ' t mean they don ' t listen to real music , they just enjoy a certain type of music . I personally respect Nas and Hov as two legends , but I just struggle to really enjoy listening to their music .
