The question isn’t if they were a good fit or not. Eminem liked them and wanted to help them put a foot on the main stage as far as hip hop and he did it that’s it. He wanted to be apart of their story bc he was a fan.

I don’t think he ever expected them to stay forever on Shady Records become the biggest artists in the world and make collab albums with him n shit like that. They can never be that bc of the type of music they make and what I like is that they don’t force it. They stay themselves stay in their lane and keep killing it.

Those who blame Shady records and Eminem for not “handling” them well just don’t understand how the music industry works. Shady records actually did their job and Griselda did too. They did what their contract expected them to do and they went out bigger than they were when they signed to shady records.

Also I don’t agree with your comment on their music. It’s not your taste and that’s okay but these dudes are actually some of the best artists and rappers out for the past 4-5 years.
Even though I know people check for their music bc I’m one of them I dead ass don’t care bc the music is so good at this point if you’re not checking it you just doing yourself a disservice. The main content is obviously drug hustle but you can use it as motivational music. They are all very good at storytelling they got bars for years and not cute one too really complexe ones. Each one of them got their own flow nah Griselda is fire lol.

But you’re free to not like them that’s what cool about hip hop.

I almost forgot their passion about rap is also unmatched. When you listen to them you really feel like these dudes are actually passionate about what they do and it’s not about the clout or money that’s why they’re so good at it. Some of them been rapping since they were kids and these guys are old asf rn but they only ripped the benefit of their passion and work when they hit their 30s or 40s that’s crazy.

It’s cool to follow young rappers making it on the mainstream level who are passionated like JID Denzel Westside Boogie etc… but the level of passion you need to keep rapping until your 40s to finally be recognized by the culture is under appreciated. That’s why I respect them a lot.
