He can't sell albums, tbh. He has the biggest fan base (maybe besides Taylor) that would buy physicals but they don't even ship them on time. No promo, delayed music videos, no publicity. And when he appears on TV, he performs his songs which premiered 10 years ago. He can't win like that.

MTBMB would sell 520k with promo and he is a rap artist lmao this numbers very high for hiphop and idc bout pop music so he is in a good place

Yeah I think that's one of his biggest mistakes - what you said last, about performing all his old s--- primarily;

It makes him feel like a greatest hits act, like the fkn Rolling Stones or something. When, he's still trying to be current and new. It's fine to play some of your old s---, obviously people going to an Eminem concert... some will expect that... but to feel new and fresh... you can't be touring your fkn greatest hits every time with like 2 new songs; it's supposed to be new album s---, that's what new artists do...

Imagine Kendrick dropping, going on tour and just performing everything from GKMC & TPAB, s--- would look weird af.

The way Em acts is like how a retired act who just occasionally does big legacy shows acts.

I don't think the other s--- is an issue, he's always purposely been about mystique, but he's lost some of that by making his live shows so generic and repetitive and feeling like what I just said. He needs to like, inhibit new looks and album cycles and eras properly, not just drop s--- then perform Lose Yourself & Not Afraid for the 10 millionth time. Like, fam, I think we got enough performances of those songs for a fkn lifetime now.

Can’t believe he went and scurried away out the thread without acknowledging this post or answering the question. Embarrassing lol

But he is also pop. Yes he's a rapper, but he's a pop figure, and he's pop music - you can't be making love the way you lie and the monster and not be considered pop now. He's a giant pop figure who also makes pop songs.

He should rebrand himself, call himself The Embarrassment. s--- would actually be kinda lit, like, embrace his corniness and incelness. Like, yes embarrassing but also more truthful and kinda owning it. Better than pretending to be a G when it's so cringingly obvious he ain't. Dude prolly can't even talk to chicks. Prolly goes blush faced n runs away.

No he is not? Rihanna did pop parts he rapped his whole verses

I'd rather talk about why you think the idea of kissing a woman is "awkward". Something you'd like to share with the class, bud?

Yes but the end result, the song, is a pop product. Just because Em thinks he can feature a pop star, with a corny flo rida beat - but rap legit and it's fine and still great hip-hop... nah. That beat was passed around the industry... thas how low he sank - not even making good hip-hop beats anymore, just having... passed around template songs which get passed around by industry execs to make fkn cookie-cutter hits - the end result is a pop product. And I'm not even that mad at it, I kinda dig both songs, but they're also a bit of a s--- smear.

Point is, you say the name to the average person on the street or any music goer and they've heard Eminem a million times, know the songs; the image, the face, he's a pop figure - he's long transcended rap. And he sold 1.7milly first week MMLP, so, it's not really a thing to say 'oh but he's rap' @ 250k lol, when even with Recovery he did like 700k, MMLP2 like 800k.

There's zero chance you're not a virgin and everyone in this thread knows it.

Thanks

She could take his place in a minute

It's embarrassing but fitting you would be the leader of these two r-----ed incels Chaotic Progress and Supersonic. And good thing for you they're too dumb to realize you called them "brain dead" in OT recently lmao (when you criticized me for flexing my "intellectual superiority" over "brain dead stans" there's not many other posters you could have been thinking of). I love how desperate you are to take me down when I couldn't give the remotest of f---s about your existence

 

Apr 24, 2024

Nah, not sleepy enough.

 

Apr 24, 2024

Holy s--- make physical contact with some grass already

 

Apr 24, 2024

I used to shout this s--- in a comical way out the windah when I first moved outta home like, 17 or 18. I lived in like a lil attick room for a bit, but just the freedom by yourself at first is dope, I'd open that windah up n shout 'hello world!' in a texas accent, s--- mad funny and amps you up!

When it hits you that this isn't a bit but how he talks to people in real life too:

 

Apr 24, 2024

Em could do more than 300K if his team tried. Bundles with clothes or posters + CDs/Vinyls would also help.

 

Apr 24, 2024

You realize most people perform their hits at concerts or shows right?
