    the topic has nothing to do about dre though, it's on Em's influence which is why I didn't bring up the topic. it wouldnt be GRODT without Dre

    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?

    And yeah with no Eminem there's no D12 which means there would've been no D12 World/ Rap Basement/ Studio Leaks/ Section 80. Therefore, no @Arch Dogg :emoji_cry:

    well, d12 still have alot of personality without em (albeit noticeably inferior)
    d12 wouldnt be the same without bizzare though
    Bizzare>Em imo

    Without Em no other member of D12 would've made it further than freestyle battles in Detroit. No way any of them get a record deal.

    naah, bizzare even had an ep. Just didnt blow up. You can say eminem made them famous , but i dont think Em was the one that brought them together.
    that would be proof :rockyhmm:

    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

    It's good that we have @Soldier to enlighten everyone, since he seems to know everything about everything.

    Without him the term "Stan" wouldn't be a thing most likely, so there's that

    But seriously he helped broaden the appeal to rap and that may have introduced more rappers we might not have today but I wouldn't really say anything else

    it's one thing for him to say it, but there is very little on wax that goes back to Em in Kendrick's music

    you might be right

    I mean, Kendrick never mentioned Eminem in his pre-aftermath interviews.
    Then kendrick signed to dre's label and mentioned Em as a goat & one of his influences in almost every interview :khaled:
