Pretty sure you read it from left to right and when the graph starts descending it's when sales start declining

Yes his albums are still sold on shelves but obviously there is more convenient and cheaper alternatives to listen to his music legally so it makes sense people would choose those alternatives.

Eminem’s early 2000s sales aren’t any more “impressive” in the sense of how they were sold. People are always going to listen to music, they only put more effort into obtaining the music then because there was no alternative choice.

i told you about napster and how it helped people get popular, using soulja boy as an example and your answer was "SOULJA BOY WAS 2007"

i was talkin bout how MJ cant be compared to eminem due to how different the circumstances were and you missed the point again.

all you do is miss the point and talk about what you wanna believe, ignoring the evidence, even twisting it to accomodate your position.

1) eminem in his prime was bigger than both Kanye and Wayne in theirs
2) em is still huge now
2.1) Eminem's MTBMB was the 3rd best hiphop first week last year (279K) and finished the year with more than 1.1M units sold. Additionally Eminem probably STILL a top 3 rapper globally (terms of sales)

*Elvis level of fame

And yes he did

Em had a d*** issue. He is better now and still happily makes music for those want it. I think he is doing just fine.

leaking culture in the late 90s and early 2000s were interesting on their own because people used to smuggle s*** out of CD-pressing plants when they still existed

they used to press albums many months before release so people would get them out on the internet before street date

Elvis invented this rock star s*** and his influence is incalculable

that man was NOT on MJ level stop it

cassettes ? yes ... ? cassetes were always cheaper than CDs

Eminem was BIG BIG

In the 2010s too

He already had all of that though and pretty much did it again in the early 10s when he sobered up.

This tbh.

also: Eminem was not mj level. Mj was on another level, but Eminem was the Beatles and Elvis level

look I love MJ man but if you wanna talk about someone who fumbled their legacy

You really want this fight

Drake stans keep sneaking in mj like it will make his albums better. Pathetic.

We witnessing a group of stans suffering from awful post nut clarity

Even ak had to lay his neck on the sword

Have some integrity and die with dignity

Eminem was bigger than Ye and Kanye

Drake

In 1999 they was streaming SSLP and getting bundles!

lol maybe one of the worst musical fall offs but you're acting like he went broke or something Eminem is getting Marvel movie soundtracks and selling out tours to this day. he's still huge commercially despite him not being relevant to most rap fans anymore

Bigger than Ye and Kanye

True. On a worldwide scale, the only rappers close to Em's peak are 50 Cent and MC Hammer.

He's had some tracks where he's come close but he can't help but be like 'it's all so hard like Jaws the shark chomping on my balls in the park and the tourists stop and they gawk and now they're all talking about Marshall Mathers getting sucked off by a porpoise'
