    comparing Dre's first album in 15 years sales to non-solo Eminem projects is pretty irrelevent

    No its not. The fact that Eminem released two projects with his name on all over it within a year and was barely able to crack gold with both combined is proof enough that he will not sell regardless. I threw Dre's project in there to show the numbers.

    And its +Irrelevant... Learn how to spell before you start an argument, fa----.

    The made up stories. SHADYXV and Southpaw weren't solo albums. Stay in denial

    lol you're a r-----.

    ShadyXV was a label compilation album and was marketed as such. Southpaw was a movie soundtrack, featuring music by various artist, executed produeced by Eminem, and was marketed as such. Both sold appropriately. Comparing these releases to Compton when evaluating Eminem's selling power as a solo artist indicates a general lack of intelligence and a misunderstanding of marketing, industry, etc. Eminem's solo album sales figures have been increasing since the Relapse; MMLP2 outsold Encore's first weeks sales and it was released in 2013. Eminem will sell and outperform his peers and competitors sales-wise regardless of his "pop" features because his name carries its own branding. When new solo Eminem albums drop, his music is literally ubiquitous.

    Also, you parading the word 'fa----' around makes you look like a child. You must live in a very sheltered, isolated area populated by people with no frame of reference if that's how you casually talk in real life around strangers and in public. n-----, you look like you're on youtube with your comments.

    I don't think he ever did a song with a pop singer he dissed for real. I mean we all know guy just dissed the pop stars for the sake of rhymin'...
    He doesn't have a pop song tho. Stronger Than I Was or Hailie's Song ( which was loved by all of you guys I know it ) sound more poppish than The Monster or Love The Way You Lie so I don't really get those who don't like those songs with pop singers on their hooks.
    On the other hand, I guess this started with Recovery album and it was very reasonable hate since Eminem just put unknown female pop singer hooks to most of the songs. I hated that too and this is the one of the 2 reasons I Don't listen to Recovery often. Other reason is the bad quality production.
    But all in all, that was 2010 Eminem and now it's 2015. We heard him on the various projects including his studio album MMLP 2 which only had very few pop hooks on it. So f--- all of the ppl saying Em gone pop. No he didn't. World gone more of a pop and he just adjusted himself to it by changing his single songs' styles a lil. But he is still sounding more rap than most of the bs rappers out there. Who can say Love The Way You Live I and especially 2nd song of it was wack ? Who really thinks the Monster or Kings Never Dies are wack by any means ? They're dope specially Kings Never Dies...
