I grew up in the hood, we were the US #1 murder capital for 15 years straight, and Em was definitely played in my hood! Everyone was listening to him and still are!
It's not the hood fault that industries promote sexy red over nas. most people don't even know that nas is coming out with an album while the industry makes sure sexy red is everywhere for promo purposes. Nas is a way better rapper but he's not played in the clubs, rave parties, and other events so it's just not the hood that doesn't support Nas. Knight be filling yall heads up with bullshit
@@Dabby724 Dude listens because of his daughter and you saying what bangers are you referring too but people have different taste and shit or is that too much for your little brain to comprehend? Name me 5 songs which won’t bore m to death? I’ll wait 🤡
@Dabby724 as a father you learn to like new things for the kids. I HATE BABY SHARK but when my kids get pumped to it I get pumped WITH them. Sacrifices.
Lucky number 3! On fuel did anyone notice Anyone notice how Em rhymes his 1st verse with letter A scheme (decAde, sprAy, met drAy (dre), cAtch, stAy, plAy, essAy, SA etc) then goes to rhyme with B, (Biggie, Beef, beat,oBesity, Benz, Bitch, Balls, Base etc) then goes crazy with C while mentioning alphabet soup.
It's not entirely accurate to say that Eminem's music is completely absent from "the hood" or urban communities. His talent and lyrical skill has earned him respect across diverse audiences, including in urban areas. While there may be skepticism about Eminem's reception in certain hip-hop circles, his talent and impact have ensured that his music is appreciated and respected across diverse communities, including those traditionally associated with "the hood."
I lived hoodlife for decades, and couldn't regret it more. Grown ass men worrying about what the hood is playing.. Is ridiculous. I absolutely enjoyed Eminem sometimes. In fact the older I've grown, more I've learned to enjoy him music and respect him for what he stands for.. In terms of hiphop and being a father.
Good comment that's why all there favorite hood rappers praise eminem and eminem is hood wow he didn't sell Crack but lived in Detroit a dominated black community and helped more black artists than most black artists facts
@@Mitsunari4Gunz it is. But people want to discredit anyone that Dre had a hand in with it. 50 wanted to work with both Dre and Em so they split production on the album. Both Dre and Em tracks were hits and classics. And that was 50's doing.
Em isnt for bumping in the background, you actually have to listen with intention and no distractions. Em has the music my friends call me about privately to be like "yo did you catch this crazy shit?!".
Lol but as eminem fan since the age of 10, i may have big weenie and kill you play in the background as i work. Eminem's cadence helps me get in focus. Lol
Music is music. If it actually sounds good, you can bump it whenever,foreground or background. What Em makes these days is generally lyrical exhibition, but generally not good sounding music.
@J-Hue well that's kind of what I'm saying. It doesn't really sound good/catchy or soothing. It's more of a mental exercise. Or like you said, lyrical exhibition. It's hard to appreciate unless you either really listen with intent, or are a lyricist yourself.
I was gonna comment something similar! Feel like people bump that modern rap that sounds live and hype, Em someone you listen to and just sit in awe at the lyricism. A lot of old heads bump his shit but the younger gen on that new shit, or just what I see around me
I would never understand this argument! If people do not bump your music then YOU obviously don’t sell what Eminem has SOLD… Common sense is starting to be rare nowadays.
the problem is people with these views dont understand artist who want to be famous and not hood famous dont just make music for the ghetto. perfect example Snoop he started off as a gangster rapper then evolved as well as cube. Nas never made music to listen to while you selling drugs.
Ok I don’t wanna start a whole thing but are you guys seriously saying llamar/Drake is the biggest feud we had in the genre? But for real for real? I remember there once was a feud between 2 ENTIRE COASTS that cost us the lives of two luminaries. 50 got shot 9 times also where is Ja? The Lox campaign against Diddy Mase campaign against Diddy Suge’s campaign against Diddy Eazy E and Ruthless Vs Deathrow? Bad Boy records Vs Deathrow Records? Nas and Jay z? 50 Vs the Game? LL and Canibus? Em against The Source Shady Records Vs Murder Inc? Ice Cube Vs NWA? JADAKISS Vs Beanie? Ice Cube Vs Cypress hill (this one almost started a race riot) Dr dre and Snoop Vs Easy E? Krs one Vs Mc Shan and pretty much the Juice Crew (the famous Bridge Wars) Lil kim Vs Foxy? Dmx vs Jay Z Vs Ja rule? Wayne Vs Birdman? Mase Vs Cam? 3 Six Mafia vs Bone thugs? Gucci mane Vs Jeezy Em Vs MGK? (This one I could take or leave) The Lox Vs State Property? Ruff Ryders Vs Roc a Fella? Remy Vs Niki? T.I Vs Lil Flip Ice T Vs LL? Em Vs Canibus? Jay Vs Dame Dash Beastie Boys Vs Russell Simons and Def Jam? Dmx vs Kurupt? LL cool J Vs Kool Moe Dee? Cam Vs Jay Z? Fat Joe Vs 50 Terror Squad Vs G unit And so on and so forth This what we got going on ain’t even top 10. Let’s be serious That’s as an asinine statement as the em not getting played in the hood talk I can’t sit here and watch and have future generations think that this is it when ALL of that outshines it All of it Ain’t no way y’all gonna minimize hip hop and saying a battle between a Disney kid and a dude that had to make like 9 songs to put (again) a DISNEY KID away is at the top of the list. You know, respectfully You guys are bugging
@@Manixmaxxx I ain’t even trying to insult I’m saying they got “expert” in the title of the show don’t they? They should call the show “My Sort of Kinda Educated Guess-That’s Wrong”.
@@KuruptPound I rewind it twice too!!! they 100 percent glazing. Stevie kinda gets a pass cause he’s not a musician or in the industry but he glazing too. At least on this.
@@thesicksquadeven if Stevie isn’t in the industry or a musician he has a platform that people listen to and should educate himself a little more before making such definite statements He literally recalled like 3 beefs and was like “yep it’s the biggest one” What??
I'm 35. I grew up in the Hood. I was jamming. Cleaning Out my Closet daily I was with the Drug dealers growing up never sold but they was family to me. Hi my name is went hard. People speaking about the hood need to understand they don't speak for my hood. I told them Em would be top 5 after Cleaning out the closet and they went back and understood why I said that.
I'm from the Hood Em IS The hood he's Dope and comes from the Straight GUTTER The Detroit East side Slums are no joke especially in the 90's. Em is Sick as Fuk
East side still slum city lol. I live close to where Em lived. But yeah depending on where you're at on the east side ....some areas are better than others. Lol.
In the US, I never here Eminem songs played outside of my car/house with the exception of Lose Yourself. When I’m in Germany his music plays all the time in public. Bars, shops, in the park, etc.
It so wild watching Stevies perspective now. Ive been watching this channel almost from the jump. Hes done a complete 180 on Em. He literally became a Stan, when at first he knew zero about him, and prob wudda been one of the guys dissing him! Its funny AF. Ive been an Em fan since 99, greatest ever to do it, but i just find it interesting to see how Stevie over the years learned about Em. Also I think he realized his number of subscribers started to jump when he started to do Em videos, so that kind of pushed him in that direction imo.
Anyone that dives into ems discography would switch. Most of the people that hate haven’t heard 25% of his music and just follow the crowd because they think it’s cool
"Who the fuck cares what hood is listening to" Jesus christ, THANK YOU. Been waiting for someone to say that. This mythical "hood", consisting of some sort of rap jury who decide what is hip hop and whats not. And of course the "hood" is what given person at given time decide it is to validate their opinion. Come on.
you not from the culture, the street decide everything. decide everything, you from that pop rapper era, im from that mixtape era, every rapper had to go through the streets, there's rapper who did not go through the street but they not taking seriously, who you think was messing with jay z before the mainstream caught.
The problem is that in this era everyone wants to be so damn gangsta that if some aint "hood" then its whack. Ppl with this mind state dont dislike em bc they think he a bad rapper, they dislike him bc he dont talk about spinning the block on his opps every bar. Notice that a lot of black folks switched up on em right around the time drill music became popular
That's not why most people don"t like Em. They don't bump Em because, sonce Encore, he has focused so much on largely pointless lyrical exhibitioniwm to the point that he's not actually making good sounding music. There's notuch soul or groove.
thats ur hood bro, math just trying to explain the hood hood, thats mean real gangsta who sells heavy drugs and ready to kill any other gangster, remember before it was REAL gangster wanna be rapper, not nowadays rapper wanna be gangster.
The whole hood argument is stupid. I dont see mfers playing jay z, nas, kanye, biggie, pac, etc. So by that logic 21 savage, Young thug and ASAP rocky are on a higher tier then ALL these mfers cause the hood plays them 😂😂
The names you pointed out are older artist . But at some point all them names were played in the hood . Or when dudes go out for haircuts , get car washed , or check the homies they not playing EM . And it's by regions . Dudes in the South not playing Nas like Jezzy . Dudes in NY not playing Yo Gotti over Jadakiss . West Coast love Kendrick . OGs like Snoop or Cube . EM has bars but he doesn't get the same play in the community as he does in the white community . Same way Nas doesn't get the same love in the white community .
@@chrisj4649 Em content not something you ride to or play in clubs or cooking outs . Not barbershop or hair salons . But if it's color in your opinion that explains why Redman has never sold close to Em but he is one of his biggest influences .
@@calvinperson9732 nas is loved by the white community. Nas is amazing in his own right. And it was never about race till mf made it about race otherwise dre woulda never heard that cd. I personally think people dont understand the concept that any person can rap reguardless of skin. Rap was born from the mind of great men that wanted to represent their people and the way they think without inciting violence. Eminem does this particulary well in my opinion because he raps about controversial topics while also giving the victims clout and attention. Think about that. I think Biggy Smalls would have ended up the greatest of all time as he evolved through the 2000's bruh imagine biggy 50 and eminem on a track aweeee. Ive lived in poverty my whole life in a fucked up area with shootings that were so consistant we had to start getting used to the bullet sounds and just prey everyone is ok including the members. Rip Biggy ❤
The fact that alot of rappers now say Eminem influenced them proves that people in the hood listed to Eminem. Now lots of them claim there from the hood. So are they lying about there lifestyle?
It’s like saying no one listened to Michael Jackson or no one use to watch Michael Jordan play basketball. Eminems music isnt ”street”, but then if it was, people would say he is a culture vulture. You can’t win with some people. Who cares about this corny conversation? Imagine that of all rappers in the world, you say this about the rapper that have sold the most albums ever. Americans are funny, always so weird logic when you discuss things
Exactly! And without Eminem, rap might not even touch parts of the world they do now. Rap is one of if not the biggest genre of music in the world, a lot of it is because Eminem opened up rap to a bigger audience. Rappers can get the money they do, have the fans they do a lot of it is because of him. You can go to most rappers concerts, the large portion of the audience in America are white fans. The hood probably makes up 0.5% of rap fans 😂
Thank you. Hip hop and rap became a world culture whether the guys in the hood like it or not. People of all cultures, colors and statures are spitting their grievances with reality thanks to OGs and to artists like Em and thousands others who paved the way. I'm sure that lots fo these folks who hate on Em really haven't been around the world, seeing rap battles in the basements of the projects in Slovenia, or rappers performing in front of tens of thousands in Banglades or Phillipines...
I guess Math wants Em to talk about selling drugs, and doing a 15 yr bid for the hood to start listening. They be the same guys who talk trash about mumble rappers but will play it loudly in their car in the hood. Em will never get the respect as long as guys like this keep thinking this way smh.
And what's funny eminem can make the hottest hood album if he wanted to look at what he wrote foundress album but he's not a fake ass and he definitely has some hood bangers
That last thing you said was off. Em has the Respect We don't need guys like these to think in any way. They dont matter. Em is respected world wide and respected by the right people.
@@hoodiemike210 you don't know what the hell you talking about. The only difference is that we don't have guns. But ppl were still carrying knifes. It's the same shit, poverty, drug dealing, addicts almost every where, drinking, police, fights. You crazy if you thing that only in USA shit is popping up, the neighbourhood where I grew up was literally like a ghetto 🙄
If Math doesn't think people bring up the fact that Eminem doesn't appeal to street niggas as a way to downplay him then I don't know what to say. SOME people say it to distinguish themselves but many, MANY more say it to takes points away from Em. That's obvious.
The people who tell themselves this are delusional living in fairy tale land. Just because YOU and the people YOU know don't listen to Eminem when YOU are around, doesn't mean nobody listens to him.
I was in myrtle beach for the 4th of July and i heard this song everywhere. The DJ at my resort played Houdini 15 times in one night and everyone was hyped af.
@@fcchannel6162lol professional hater over here. what kind of stupid argument is that? houdini broke records. just because people around you don’t listen to it doesn’t mean everybody else doesn’t either. that’s the bumping argument from the video all over again
You are the most level headed common sense dude out of all the reaction content creators. It's just facts, there are a lot of emcee's that are talented, we've just never seen anyone else that's "THAT" nasty for that long with the body of work, and the seemingly endless ability to blow your mind time after time. The flow, the cadence, the delivery, the passion, the goosebumps that make the hair on your arms stand up. In 10 years you will hear a Eminem song and go " O thats what that means" because the depth of his rhyme schemes are so complex and deeply layered you can't possibly take it all in!
The fact is all media critics about Eminem are white people complaining, so who is listening to Eminem is neither white nor black folks well most be all from Mars 😂😂
@bretwojarski5842 that's the whole point? By Amy being not even half as funny but is a millionaire and popular amongst her people is equivalent to Eminem making dog shit music and getting by on popularity amongst his pop fanbase. Who don't know rhythm or blues
Nobody in the hood is bumping Cole or Kendrick either. That ignorant destructive message isnt where the art is at its highest level. Hip hop is about growth and becoming better people.
@@invoker9890 who said there proud .. all they said was no one bumps eminem in the hood.. i dnt understand why em fans lose there shit when people say that no one bumps em in the hood 😂🤣
Shit the people who claim the "hood" don't bump em probably don't even go back to the "hood" to know one way or the other. They just be like I'm hip pop I know what the hood likes, so what I don't like the "hood" definitely doesn't. That's how that comes off. Like there's no statistics showing exactly who the "hood" is currently fucking with rn and if someone could show me otherwise I'd be more than glad to be disproven.
Dude wtf 😂 they talking about, we out here in Saudia bumping Em all the time! Em is A global icon, his reach is beyond the seas bruh, here in my country we love him, no matter what they say Em solidified as a F GOAT, and btw rap genre in general is A global thing around the world, hip hop calture doesn’t have a language or a color it’s just art, it’s like an ideas get Translated in our reality, and Em took that $h*t far far away as an ambassador, he is A super doper star 😂😂. + sorry if my language was bad. 😢
Eminem has never been "Hood-Wide", he's always been "World Wide". His footprint is bigger than the hood which makes the argument that "Eminem isn't bumping in the hood" irrelevant.
@@BIGTSZ ok well here's why I compared the two. You ask who listens to Em and they say, the hood doesn't or black people don't". Ok well he's sold 200 million and has billions of views on YT, so someone's gotta be listening and it's not just white people. Women say they don't watch porn but there's billions of views a year on the sites. There's only so many men out there so women have to be watching.
How many people stay in the corner listen to music and how many people stay home and listen to music I know is more people staying at home listen to music and Eminem prove that
I lived in the Bronx and lived in the grimiest area and when Beastie Boys came out with their 1st album, they were pumping that in the cars in the neighborhood. Where hip hop is now, it don’t matter where hip hop is played now. And if that’s the case, I hear brothers pumping “Fuel” in their cars now.
When I was a kid Eminem Superman was playing on the radio. In my dad car .and he like old school music . I didn't even listen to rap then. But that shit jammed tho.
Bruh my dad got me into eminem at the age of 10. Real slim shady just came out and played on the radio in the car, we were going for groceries. He told me to listen to this guy coz he sounds funny. Lol. I became an eminem fam that day. I still remember we were driving under a railroad overpass when that song came on and my dad turned up the radio.
As a black man the reason ninjas be saying no one bump Eminem, is because ninjas from the hood thought process doesn’t expand away from the hood, the world is bigger than the hoods y’all from. There’s more while people in America than any other races. You gotta expand your horizons. 😂😂😂
Idk I’m from the Netherlands, and many black people love Eminem. Not because he is white or is famous, because he has bars and controls his skills very well. Back in the day a classmate of mine ( he is black) introduced me to hiphop including Eminem😂. We were around 10/11. I’m forever grateful 😅. We may have not hoods like America, but we have them in our own ways. And from Rakeem, to DMX, to PAC, Biggie , Eminem, and many others they were all played.
When they say "Hood" they're referring to theirs as if other countries don't have any, some more than the US. I was in middle school in the '00, my school was predominantly black. My English teacher was the whitest old man you'll ever meet at the time and my principal was an elderly black man and guess what, THEY BOTH ADMIRED EM and listen to his CD before walking into school. Goes to show you it doesn't matter where you come from!
Yep. Haters will grasp at any straw just to somehow prove that Em is not amongst the goats. They resort to this argument becuse they have no other argument. They can't say his lyrics suck, they can't say he doesn't sell, they can't say he is r**/st, they can't say he doesn't support the cultur or that he's feeding on it... the only thing that's left is "but but but, the clubs ain't bumping Em"... It's so childish it's pathetic...
Why is this even a conversation? Eminem is a Global Superstar!! His music is being bumped all over the world 🌍. The question should be is your favorite artist being bumped all over the globe 🌍?
"No One Bumps EMINEM!" ..Eminem has sold over 220 million records globally ...one of the most sucessful artists ever lol ... and by far the rapper with most albuns sold .. but ye .. "No OnE BuMpS eNiMeM
It's all slang for gatekeeping at this point. Played in the hood, on the block, in the club, and in the car. All just fluffy code words to not bluntly say that you want to gatekeep.
I'm 47yrs old. $73,000 biweekly and I'm retired, this video have inspired me greatly in many ways that I remember my past of how I struggled with many things in life to be where I am today!!!!❤️
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my daughter's surgery (Joey). Glory to God.shalom.
As a biker who's routinely in Detroit you honestly don't hear much of his music being played... Especially compared to Tee Grizzley, who I hear on a regular basis in the D no matter what club I go to...
One thing you gotta give Drake credit for is he rarely ducks the fade when it comes to rap beef. The Em thing, two opposite things can be true at the same time. What Em talks about isn't that relatable to a lot of street dudes, not all. I for one, does bump Em on a daily basis because I'm no street dude so you won't see me bumping gangsta rap either.
They always single out Eminem as not being played in the club or cars. Like when was the last time people put Nas on in the car? or Jay Z?, there's a lot more people listening to Eminem in the car than them, and they're all GOATS, but they always single out Eminem because he's outselling modern day rappers, with his old ahh. lmfaooo
I was in high-school when recovery came out and was told by the school I can't listen to his cd on school grounds so I started parking across the street and let the 12s in the back hit .
The problem I have about people saying this, is why are the drug dealers and the corners the bar that’s set to judge someone’s relevancy or not? Math wants the culture to grow and get better but he doesn’t want to let go of that simple mindset. Hip hop started as an outlet for the inner city black people to express themselves and should always be respected. In 2024 I’m glad I can listen to someone’s version of hip hop from Alaska lol. Eminem is one artist that takes the craft serious and should be respected and that’s it. I ride around bumping Em all the time
The Death of Slim Shady debuted at #1 in America, the UK, Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands. This is his 11th #1 album, his popularity is global and he need not work to appease the hood or anyone else. That's kind of the point of him being who he is.
@@steelliving8785 you only know the white NZders huh, everyone knows Reggae is the most popular Genre in NZ😂 Em isn't the most talked about rapper, it would be 2pac, Biggies, Bone Thugs or Nas. Don't be attributing to malice what can be deemed as incompetence

@x.Rhymiie.x u definitely not a hip hop head if u think anyone outside the culture or any country for that matter has any credibility to say who is the greatest. Popularity don't equal talent. Who is your favorite rapper and TV show?
Not only a selfish point of view but racist... In the 90's *Pac* was putting up Big numbers & it wasn't all black people buying *$16.00* physical💿copies (The country was more whiter back then) I'll also ad It to *Em* 2 Decades to surpass *2Pac* in the number of Diamond Albums📀(Ther's ONLY like a dozen Diamond HipHop Albums *2Pac has 2 & Em has 3)*
@Gamerjavian actually quite a bit of people do. Even black people. His new album had over 70 million listens on spotify and 0.002 percent were bots while megan drake and a few others had over 20 percent of bots.
Do Math understand that more than 300,000,000 people just in the United States don't live in the hood or be on a block. Please Math just do the damn math. The numbers don't lie. I'm a black man 46 years old and I've been bumping Eminem ever since his first album. The funny thing is Eminem is more real than 95% of the rappers that talk about how real they are just listen to what Eminem talks about. All the other Rappers are scared to say what other people are thinking.
@UCbDYUe728l-INGxfcW-ZEqg I just think it's dumb how a color determines if someone can be the greatest ever at something. Nobody ever said Jordan couldn't be the greatest basketball player even though it was invented by a white man. People need to stop hating on Eminem and give that man his props. Eminem is one of if not the best rapper ever when it comes to skills. Eminem is the only rapper in history that has talked about 20 different things and has been great at all 20 different topics. Everybody else has only talked about 4 or 5 different things. Money, Females, Cars ,Clothes, or Drugs. It doesn't take skills to just repeat what everybody else has already said. Keep up the Good work My Boi love your content.
