RHH: D'you think people tend to become more harsh with an artist after he gets more...

...media attention? Take Eminem for example.. I've seen a lot of people say that Eminem is far from being the best white rapper and even say he's sh!t. Yes I do think Rugged Man, Atmosphere and others I cannot be bothered to list are good rappers, but to me, Eminem is undoubtedly up there with the best (as long as white rappers go). I think people are, dare I say it, underrating him a little by saying he 'sucks' and refusing to consider him as good as the other white rappers around. I don't mean in general Eminem is underrated, because of course he isn't, I mean mostly on this site really. I think people are being so harsh with him purely for the reason he gets much more media attention than Rugged Man, Slug and Atmosphere and so on. Em certainly has lyrical qualities, definitely compared to most mainstream artists. Does what I'm saying make any sense at all?
 
The more exposure, the more critics. And usually, the only people who don't really like Em are the people on underground forums like this one.. most people out there love the guy.
