Mar 24, 2017 Just saying Eminem wasn't even the most popular artist of the time, and yet people making out like he was bigger than Elvis. Stan goggles and nostalgia that's all
Mar 24, 2017 I'd argue 50 cent at his peak was more popular than Eminem, too. After all it wasn't 50 that tried being a cornball rapper like eminem, it was Eminem that ended up mimicking 50s style.
Mar 24, 2017 I haven't read all of this thread so don't really know the context/what's been said before But I really hope you're joking. You can't be that f---ing stupid, surely..
Mar 24, 2017 Lol yeah that was just to wind up SHUDEYE lol. The rest of what ive been saying was serious
Mar 24, 2017 dude he wasn't the biggest, but surely the biggest in HIPHOP - and last time I checked this is a hiphop forum, so that should be relevant when comparing both artists. Jesus Christ, it's like comparing NBA players and saying : '' But, but Maradona was more famous! ''
Mar 24, 2017 Actually I was addressing the point that SHUDEYE made by saying nobody (in any genre) has sold more in one week than Eminem's MMLP as justification of the man's popularity in an era which SHUDEYE obviously didn't live through or can remember in any great detail.
Mar 24, 2017 And people mock ems stans. Smh. This is about as cringey as any comment nuthugging Marshall that I have ever seen.
Mar 24, 2017 what? no they didnt, they barely sold more than mmlp in the united states..mmlp did 11 mill and NSA did 13 mill..Eminem shattered them with worldwide sales tho the f---
Mar 24, 2017 and this is just counting that one album...if we counting all albums then Eminem took one steamy s--- over them
Mar 24, 2017 but thats true, no one has ever did...he sold as a solo artist the highest first week sales of all time (if that what shudeye was going with)
Mar 24, 2017 Nelly for a very small period of time was the closest i saw, he was compared to Eminem on a weekly sales basis
Mar 24, 2017 How old are you man? This is a f---ing stupid argument/ comparison, and take that from someone who was old enough to remember. Drake is undeniably popular, but it's not even close. This is a new era. We didn't have twitter/facebook back then. And em was shifting millions upon million of physical units before I-tunes even existed. 50 cent had a 2 album streak. That's it. I love 50 but his name neither drakes should even be talked about if your tryna compare their popularity to the white boy. You could even argue that even now when em isn't exactly in his prime.... Em is STILL more popular than drake. I personally think this is the case. You Americans man, you are 1 track minded, you forget that the rest of the world actually exists. EM has been a global megastar for a long f---ing time now. I'm not saying drakes not popular on a global scale, but my dude..... em is a f---ing ICON of our times to a lot of people in a lot of places that I doubt you've even heard of before. We will see when the numbers come out after 1st week sales when em drops. He will outsell drake. at 44 years old. So how can we have a conversation about who was more popular em (IN HIS PRIME) or drake now? It makes no sense because em is still more popular than drake, even now!! lol. Put it this way; My Grandmother knows who Eminem is. She doesn't have a f---ing clue who drake is.
