50 Cent Says "Eminem" Is Underrated

50 Cent on Eminem: "He has so many skills and he's more hood than so many people out there."

50 Cent says Eminem, who has sold more albums than any other artist in Rap history, is underrated. 

"Em is really underrated because people have always been talking about him like, 'The White rapper Eminem' instead of just 'the rapper,'" 50 Cent says in an interview with Noisey. 

When asked if he feels Eminem is still underrated today, 50 Cent explains his stance. 

"Yeah, because the skin color thing is still there," 50 says. "He has so many skills and he's more hood than so many people out there, people still put the skin color before anything and don't give him enough credit. It's like people saying Elvis Presley was only famous because he was White. He had, y'know, the rhythm of James Brown but he had his own thing. He was Elvis. He wasn't just a White man. Things like that are going to be picked up between Black people and White people and anybody. It doesn't mean a person isn't great because they're influenced by something associated with another race. It doesn't matter."
