no... it's that white people buy eminem. Hip hop still belongs to Good lyricists... Eminem was a great lyrist, I mean he was forced to be as good as the Black people around him, Eminem is an exception, like Tina Marie or the BeeGees. He really is good, as long as there are groups like Insane CLown Posse, with nothing to say White ppl won't take over hip-hop. Just like this group, Vampire Weekend... they have real soul. That's why so many peole who "don't really like rock" like them.
