Most classic rock is blues based, which i suppsoe you could say is a rip off of black music....i also remember when most hip hop and rap used slowed down John Bonham drum beats, so i guess it has gone full circle.
where does eminem fit into the grand scheme of things then?
From the story I heard Eminem sent his demo tape to Dr. Dre who then flew out to Detroit to meet him, not knowing that he was white...I could be wrong on that and I'm sure TDF has better info than me.

From the story I heard, Dr. Dre was desperate to safe his crappy record label after The Firm flopped.
Ya see, Dr. Dre never recovered after leaving Big Suge's comfortable "family" and he just happened to be the first record company executive (thats what that fat CARHARTT wearing bitch has become) to sign Eminem....the worlds first good white MC....or the worlds best MC impersenator....depending on your perspective.
He instantly gave Eminem street cred...and WHAMO....a phenomenon was born.
Isn't P-Diddy the king of ripping off original music? At least Elvis wrote most his own music, whether it had blues influence or not. There?s a big difference between being inspired by other great artist and just blatantly ripping them off after copyright laws expired.
