Replace "does" with "did" and maybe, MAYBE you have an argument.
I say this as someone that is a very big Eminem fan that still enjoys his recent releases.

Of course rap is black, and of course Eminem surpasses many black artists in their own genre. But all? Hardly. I have a hard time believing he meant it that way. It's all subjective.

are you 13 or were you not around his first 3 albums? Em crushed everyone in sales, and can battle rap...most people can do one or the other. I find it amazing that when Drake is ghosting its not all that big, but when Em is a hot his lyrics are the shit its about what the mc can bring to the table etc etc.
50 ain't lying either some dudes are probably trying to be underground Benzino's about Em but the overwhelming response was clear...everyone loved him.

Totally not just saying that because he owes his career and his former fortunes to him.

If biggie was alive maybe it would different
but in my opinion, I back the fiddy

Firstly, why would you ever take 50 cent's opinion as gospel in regards to quality in rap?
And of course the roots of Hip Hop/Rap are as a result of black people and culture, though currently it would be foolish to cement it as "black music", especially considering the history of racial exclusion we black have already endured we should not be quick to draw boundaries for ourselves and others.

Yeah. OK 50. Glad to see you appreciate everything he has done for you.
Eminem has done things for rap that we could never dream.
Like copying another man's flow, riding another man's coattails to fame, and letting everyone else but him put the crown on his head, because even the reviewers were saying his new stuff sounds like his old stuff, but he hasn't really come up with anything new for his art. But he's the bess.

I thought so too, but watching the video he pretty much doubles down that Eminem would 'eat anyone alive'.
Yes, the roots of Hip Hop are in Black culture. If that's a qualifier, sure, it's 'Black Music.'
And yes, Eminem is one of the best to ever do it, definitely not better than all. It's too subjective. For 50, Em might just be the best, and he's definitely biased as Eminem played a big part in who 50 is as an artist today.
It's a Tiger Woods and Golf kinda thing. However, music is a lot more subjective than a sport. The only objective thing about music is album sales, which is not a measure of 'better' - but even then Eminem is nearly or at the top of that metric too.
It's really not that big a deal.

overrated as fuck. good rapper with some great songs but on the whole very overrated. no where near top 10 never mind best ever
dude trolled so hard it cost him 10 million dollars and made him go buy a Timex watch and a too tight, tight ass $200 suit to look horrible in.
If anything, he's too sincere, and too thoughtful. and generous to a fault. Hope no one takes advantage of him one day...

Like him, respect him and what he's done, but I never thought he was the best to ever do it.

Didn't Eminem basically put 50 on.
He is the best. Had he been killed after the first 3 somehow he would get more respect and praise like biggie and pac. Michael Jackson wasn't the same
His last few albums, doesn't take away from what he did as the best pop start of all time.
It's a point of contention because of a pretentious asshat named Kris.

From a technical ability I may see Em being considered a contender for best. But for impact of lyrics on an emotional or personal level for the greatest amount of people? Not so much.
lmao, what do you mean "somehow"?
Lol, this is a good point. It's like twerking as a black woman for years only to hear some white girl named Miley invented it.

Eminem has been making shit music for a while.
And no such thing as best when it comes to music.
Future is in an entirely different lane than Kendrick Lamar, but you cant take away from dudes magical talent.

Yeah I love Karl Lamar.
The closest thing to that caliber is The Eminem Show to be honest. It touched on every subject and gave closer to his family/wife issues.

True, Deliverance was a nice album. Shame Bubba Sparxx wasn't taken more seriously
