@mathers.archive: Throughout my career, I have faced criticism and prejudice from those who believed that my race determined whether I deserved a place in hip-hop. I've seen the hateful comments and messages. The truth is, none of this is new to me. Every obstacle became another reason to push harder and prove that dedication and perseverance matter far more than stereotypes or opinions. To those who choose to fill my inbox with hateful messages and unwarranted criticism... or claim that I don't belong, I have nothing to prove. Your words cannot undo decades of commitment, sacrifice, and achievement. And to everyone who took the time to send me kind and thoughtful messages, thank you. Your words, encouragement, and unwavering support are deeply valued and truly appreciated. #rapgod #slimshady #eminem
