Reply #10: A fatal flaw in your argument- [View All]

[MirrorAshes]

"Eminem is a tool of a corporate establishment which saw the profitability of a white boy singing the "urban" (black) music. Eminem is a product designed to be sold to the suburban elite, like everything else the corporations produce."

It is true, yes, that many of today's acts are products of the recording industry and are merely puppets propogated to make money. Ashlee Simpson, now infamous for her lip synching mishap on SNL this weekend is a perfect example.

But, Eminem is something different.

If you really had any grasp of the hip-hop world you would know that Eminem put in his time and worked his way up. He was eventually signed, and turned into a phenomenon, but it was not handed to him on a silver platter. He earned it.

Your argument would be 100% correct if directed at practically any of the modern pop sensations, but it is clear that you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the circumstances surrounding his rise to fame.
