Eminem’s “The Eminem Show” surpasses 40 million albums sold worldwide. First rap album ever to do so..

[Lord Beasley]

His last great album

 

[Artificial Intelligence]

Marshal Mathers LP & Eminem show are hip hop classics

 

[Heretic]

His best album

I like his 1st 2 better by a lot. I wasn't a real big fan of TES

I remember when Jay tried to put his album sales with Eminem.
"Only ones moving units is Em, Pimp Juice, and Us"
Like no Jigga, you barely out selling Ludacris and Ja Rule

Marshall Mathers LP is close to 40 too. This is unbelievable, . Even Recovery is on the list. Not double albums either..

SMH @ Post Malone. Been telling yall bro, they’d turn this whole shhit white and change the origin story if they could…don’t let em, . Salute to Eminem tho, legend

Don’t underestimate the white privilege bro. Humans are naturally more prone to ID with people who look like them… I don’t even dislike him, he’s kinda dope, I fukk with the melodies and harmonizing and all that…them numbers are madd unwarranted tho lol

Look at the chart, then look at one of my earlier posts about why Black ppl need to stop looking through a capitalist lense that empowers White Supremacy by centering sales as a metric to validate Black art, and instead use quality and culture instead

60% of AmeriKKKa is white
15% of AmeriKKKa is Black.

Therefor, using sales as a metric to value Black art and Black culture, by default empowers and positions white people over Black ppl since they’re the MAJORITY.

This is EXACTLY why white ppl are comfortable saying Taylor Swift is a better artist than Beyoncé. Even though Taylor is nowhere NEAR the artist that Beyoncé is and leans predominantly on sales to back that argument.

And this is EXACTLY why white ppl are comfortable saying Eminem is the GOAT and Black ppl koonishly jump to defend Eminem.
Even though he has nowhere NEAR the catalog to back that claim and leans predominantly on sales to back that argument.

All a white artist has to do is tap into their own white fanbase and have 4 times the power of sales as an argument,
which is way harder for Black artists to tap into.

Black artists like Pac, Beyonce, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin were good because they were good, not because they sold a lotta records (which they did too)

Their catalogs speak for themselves.

When will nikkas finally stop using whiteness and their systems as a metric to validate ourselves, COTDAMN brehs.

Y’all welcome

Umptieth proof that sales don't mean shyt

 

[bigde09]

Streams!!! get that bullshyt out of here. Aint no hip hop album ever gonna sell close to 20 million, so 40 isn't an option. If the shyt aint physical, til the day I die, I aint gonna give it credit. Especially with all of these bots. This is how we know the streaming era is full of shyt..... in 30 years since it's release, Illmaic is supposedly only 2x platinum. And I know it's sold over 1.5 million physical copies alone due to the 4 or 5 times it's been reissued. So nobody is streaming any old music but Eminem? No rakim, slick rick, bdp, nothing. Everyone else's sales has stopped, but Eminem show is at 40 million . haha ok... (and yess I know eminem has physical diamond albums)

Stop it

Sales argument = white people decide

[Pop123]

Lord Jamar somewhere mad a fukk

My man getting it from every angle, pause. He’s def been starting arguments for no reason with wifey the last week…mad as shhit.

 

[Pop123]

I like his 1st 2 better by a lot. I wasn't a real big fan of TES

Same. I liked it a lot, it’s dope…but I liked Slim Shady and MMLP a lot more, both kinda classics imo

 

[Tetris v2.0]

Easily his best work IMO

 

[TAYLONDO SAMSWORTHY]

Personally dont believe Post malone is at 20 mil more or less with two albums...

MADE UP shytS

Streaming is skewing the numbers in today’s age.

Streaming is the music industry’s 3-pointer.

 

[Taadow]

"Superman" and "Cleaning Out My Closet" are probably my favority Eminem singles, so...
