    Is he an important figure in hip-hop? Yes. Was he influential in terms of sound? Not particularly. I think he definitely showed that you don't have to be Vanilla Ice or The Beastie Boys to be a successful white rapper.

    As for 50, he had other offers too, it's not like Em and Dre picked him up off the street. They definitely contributed to his legacy, but it's hard to say what would have happened had he signed to another label. Who knows, maybe his career would have taken a turn for the better in the mid 2000s without Dre doing nothing and Em spiraling into addiction.

    He is not very influential at all(considering how popular he was)

    But as far as popularizing the genre, i dont think anyone did that more than him

    Without Eminem there would be no RB which means no SL, which means no S80 which means there would be no Narsh posts. Hmmm maybe he's the antichrist?

    It goes without saying that he's been a tremendous influence. Incredibly absurd to even assume otherwise.

    May 21, 2016
    yes and no

    don't think I can name one good artist directly influenced by him but his early music was definitely crucial

    Imagine GRODT without Dre beats and Em features. In Da Club in particular, possibly the greatest beat Dre ever produced.

    And it was Em's idea to sign 50 by the way. He's the one that presented the idea to Dre and talked him into it.

    Exactly. Wouldn't have been anywhere close. If 50 signed elsewhere he probably would've been Cam'ron level fame. Not a diamond selling artist.

    His success wouldn't be as big as it was with Dre and Em.

    He broight in tons of fans to hip hop. THat's for sure. There are lot of people who've been stanning him before turning into hip hop fans in general. Koolo himself for example.
