The initial shaming of Eminem
[above3]
Many may feel as though Eminem is a different case of a white person in hip hop because of how talented he is, but some may not remember that Eminem’s beginning days were filled with some of the most scrutiny in the game. Slim Shady faced a lot of backlash, with names being thrown at him such as “white trash,” just for being from a trailer park in Detroit. Eminem didn’t grow up in hip hop culture; he was able to discover it and embrace it at a later age while exploring his own surroundings in Detroit. So, like many white people in hip hop, he fell in love with the culture, rather than growing up into it. Should he have to apologize for all of the Grammy’s, awards, and classic records that he’s made?
