It was kind of his whole schtick, so at the time I think people appreciated his brutal honesty & rawness of character. Say what you want about Eminem, but he wasn't fake.

It had taken root long before cancel culture, so it was just part of the landscape. Despite his anger & violence in lyrics, AFAIK he didn't actually do anything. Unlike some people that rap like that...

There was also the sheer novelty of a white rapper, a come up from nothing trailer park kid. A real underdog.

To end on a refreshing/wholesome note, you should watch this. I disagree with him on a lot of stuff...but I can be happy that he did right by his daughter.
