Revivified debates on possible Verzuz pairing for Eminem has boosted the conversation about his impact but also, sadly, amplified his haters. But there are always people around who are ready to put things straight.
Stans have the reputation of being protective of Marshall against the mindless hate that the Internet spits against him from time to time. In this case, Detroit legend Trick Trick took this role upon himself.
The story has started in the comment to Obie Trice’s post discussing a possible match to Eminem:
Not all comments were respectful, and at some point, Trick Trick snapped:
All you MO-RONS saying “YOU never heard anyone saying “TURN ON EMINEM” need to sell a record or 2. Because Em has sold OVER 150 million albums worldwide. So shut that BS up.
That is the difference between an artist and an anonymous online critic — the artist knows the price of success and the amount of effort and skills invested in every record. That is why their opinion is valuable.
