  One of those hits was basically just a fan fiction based upon sweet home Alabama.

  Don’t forget the theme song to Osmosis Jones where he sings about wanting to fuck minors.

  Look, the dude’s an asshole. He shouldn’t be on any talk show because his personal views are not worth listening to. But he has also sold 26 million albums, which is enough to count pretty much anyone as a “music legend”.

  hes credited with pretty much birthing the country-rap genre that has exploded in recent years. id say creating a genre is pretty legendary. and he had i think 3 hits just off of devil without a cause and a couple more after that and even before he blew up in popularity he was a detroit legend. there was a time he was giving advice to eminem himself on enunciating his words more clearly so everyone can understand what hes saying

      creating a genre is a flex whether you think so or not, especially one so popular. i dont even listen to it (because its ass as you say) but it 100% a flex

        Just because you create something doesn’t automatically make it a good thing. I birthed a giant turd this morning and I thought it was incredible, when I showed my wife and son they didn’t like it so much. So just cause some people have horrible taste in music doesn’t make the creator a legend

    I’m from Detroit, people have mixed feelings for him and always have. Gonna need a citation on the Eminem bit, who is nearly universally liked in Detroit.

      there was a story eminem went to a kid rock signing and asked kid rock what he thought about ems mixtape

      im inclined to believe it because eminem was on devil without a cause about a year before slim shady lp dropped
