    Was he important? Absolutely. He made some of the greatest music ever from 1999-03. Also keep in mind that Dr. Dre may have never had a post-Death Row comeback without Em and 50 Cent wouldn't have happened. Not to mention all the white kids out there that became fans of hip-hop because of him. I already liked rap before Eminem but he made me love it.

    Stan is literally the I Used To Love H.E.R of the 2000's, it doesn't get much more relevant than that

    It probably wouldn't be as popular, but on other side, probably some other white rapper would blow up
