Like anytime I hear asians in Asia are asked this question, they always mention Eminem. But when it comes to who's your favorite rocker, they won't mention Lenny Kravitz or the famous guitarist Jimmy Hendrix (or any African-Americans in rock). But when it comes to Hip-Hop, they will be quick to mention a white rapper. Why is that?

When I mention Lenny Kravitz and Jimmy Hendrix, I don't literally mean them. My point was Any African-Americans who are big in rock.
Eminem is a good rapper, but you can't tell me that he is the best rapper (maybe for some), but come on! You have B.I.G, Tupac, Nas, Kanye West, just to name a few.
I picked Asians in ASIA (not from America or Canada, etc.) because 90% of them say Eminem is their fav. rapper. Doesn't that seem strange to anyone at all?

People have been trained to answer that way. If you don't know much about hip hop, you're gonna say the best is the one you see the most. Same thing with Elvis, media declared him the king of rock and no one challenged it. I think eminem is definately one of the best, but far from MY favorite.

Maybe, u moron, it's because Eminem is a contemporary rap artist who is famous around the world (to include Asian countries), and Jimmy Hendrix is from the freekin 60's and any rockers out there might wanna listen to newer age sh!t..why does this have to be a race issue with you?

Maybe it's racist, but Eminem has a good unique sound sorta like Kid Rock. Eminem is just good.
Michael Jackson just went to Japan, and hundreds of people paid $3,500 to spend a minute with him at a party. He made a million dollars, and he could have sold plenty of more tickets if he could accomodate all the added people. Michael says he loves Japan.
