UpholdTimMosleyiTunes Store wasn't a thing til 03 lol
Limewire got popping in 05.
'02-'03 was like the sendoff for people buying albums
KAZAA AND NAPSTER you f***ing zoomer
pirating and internet access only helped artists reach more people, thus getting more fans (who eventually buy albums)

NakedBalenciagaAnytime I see one of you barnacle heads say this mean you really have no idea how big mj truly was
Oh. I know MJ is way more famous overall but I'm saying that Eminem was arguably the most popular person alive in 2002 just like MJ in 1984. That's all I'm saying.

Can he be less corny and tone down the unnecessary internal rhyme schemes and s***? Sure. But to keep connecting with a new generation of fans is extremely hard.

Eminem’s peak popularity at least rivals any rappers peak popularity that really indisputable
Sep 22, 2021
UnforgivableHow did he fumble, when he sold 1 million first week pure before streaming was even a thing lol, still no rapper has even managed to come close
Because he could’ve been WAY bigger than he is now
TES/8 Mile was just the beginning, and he hasn’t been able to surpass it in sales or hits since then. Obviously he was still hugely successful even after because he gained a loyal fanbase with his first 3 albums

The Eminem Show sold 30 million copies worldwide
Are you kidding me with some streaming numbers?
Sep 22, 2021Nothing Was NewThis man was really MJ level of fame in 2002, huge Star with 8 Mile movie and The Eminem Show and Marshall Mathers LP were getting 10s of millions of sales
https://twitter.com/mainlyeminem/status/1086665051757531137There’s literally a sign that said “Eminem is GOD” it was really that serious
And then the d*** addiction got worse and he dropped Encore, which was only successful because of his fame off of The Eminem Show.
Imagine if he went a different route. He could’ve easily been on a Drake type run where he ran the charts effortlessly and dominated the 2000s, he would have definitely been bigger than Kanye and Wayne at their popularity primes (07 and 08)
And The Eminem Show was less edgy than his previous two releases, he was sort of putting on a cleaner and more mature image with the whole 8 mile thing.
eminem from early 2000s is f***ing legendary. that's why I named my account after him

Im honestly so tired of Eminem threads
Like let it go some artists just don’t age gracefully and fail to put out anything meaningful in the back end of their career
