Eminem and His Impact on White Rappers | The Shorecast with Apathy | Ep 2.

Yo welcome to The Shorecast with Apathy and Al Mayo. On this podcast, we dive into real conversations about hip hop, life on the New England shoreline, wild stories from back in the day, and so much more — all with special guests, friends, and legends sharing their experiences. Subscribe to the show to hear all my insane stories! In this episode, I’m taking you back to the raw, unfiltered days of New York’s 90s cyphers — when underground hip-hop was gritty, independent, and legendary. I break down how we built the indie scene at spots like Fat Beats, why every white rapper (myself included) kept getting compared to Eminem, and how that was a blessing and a curse. I’m also sharing some real talk about Interscope Records, the golden era of pressing up our own vinyl, and why I still wish Em would drop a raw, no-holds-barred hip-hop album for the culture.
