Street battling and industry basttling is two entirly different animals...not taking nothing away from his streeet battling dred though....And Em has initiated many battles....Dissing pop singers is weak as fuck and he's done it plenty times...They are not gonna defend themselves......So in other words Canbus is the only industry rapper with rue battling skills Em has gone against....Em do got vicious battling skills but I'm not impressed at all with his compitiion on the industry level.
Dissing pop stars is just who Eminem is man. He doesn't do it to look hard to anybody, he does it because he hates their fucking music. Its part of his personality.
I've grown up running the same damn streets as Eminem did. I even used to go to school with his half-brother Nathan.
Just like anywhere else, you got the suburban white kids with the money, parents giving them new clothes, cars, shit like that. Abercrombie and Fitch, Hollister, highlighted hair, tanning beds, "preppy" people. The type of people you couldn't have a normal conversation with because you didn't come from money like they did. And they were all the ones who typically listened to Mariah, Backstreet Boys, N Sync, Brittany Spears etc. etc.
So in the mind of a broke ass white boy, that particular genre of music is a representation of the people who treated him like shit most his life. Thats where the bashing pop stars comes from.
As far as industry beef goes... what is your point? Eminem got famous for battle rapping, and now you're all whiny that he hasn't made a diss track about some bigger named industry rappers. Jay-Z, Xzibit, Snoop, Bone Thugs, Jadakiss, Ludacris... who do you want for him to beef with that can actually hit back? Seems like he's worked with, toured with or is on good terms with every rapper at his level. Dudes like K-Rino, Yukmouth want beef for the fact they don't like the guy (probably jealousy issues) and want notoriety. Em tore up Benzino on Nail In The Coffin.
