Eminem To Become First Artist To Have Year’s Top-Selling Album Twice

    Eminem’s considerable commercial success is no secret; the Detroit rapper is Hip Hop’s top-selling act. Now, the emcee is on the verge of breaking yet another sales record.

    According to music.yahoo.com, Eminem is about to become the first artist to have the year’s best-selling album twice since the beginning of the Nielsen/Sound began tracking sales for Billboard in 1991.

    The emcee’s album, Recovery, has sold 3,146,000 copies since its release in June, putting it ahead of Lady Antebellum’s Need You Now and Taylor Swift’s Speak Now.

    The other time Em’s album outsold all of the competition for the year was in 2002, with his critically-acclaimed The Eminem Show.

    1. Eminem does not connect with your inner demons no more. He must have listened to too much Wayne and completely bit his style of lyricism. Wtf is he talking about on Recovery? and he is not even that witty with them punchlines. He used to stand out for multi-syllibalistic flow and airing out issues that connected with everybody, not some punchlines. The dude fell off.

      1. I love to see dudes say Em fell off , yet he killed the radio market , video market and brang in sales that no artist has for the whole year ..Stop being haters and give this man his due and stop being mad cause your favorite rappers aren’t selling ..

    2. Nuthin but love for Em but i wonder what he think about his sales. i mean he can’t really think he is that much better than the rest of the rappers out there. Selling 3 mill with a mediocre album (his worst album yet if u ask me).

      Support real hip hop, one love!

      1. even if this was his worst album whitch i dont think it is its still the best hiphop album of the year with teflon do right behind it i think people kinda got spoiled when he dropped an album as good as the mmlp and the es just because he hasent topped them albums dont mean hes fell off

      2. We were definitely spoiled with SSLP and MMLP but this album is just an average album, never said he fell of but this aint nothing special at all. Best hiphop album of the year, naaah man. There have been plenty of mixtapes this year better than that album. be real.

        And no both Encore and Relapse are better albums, even though i dont really like either of em.

      3. I JUS SPIT MY DRINK OVER MY MONITOR WHEN I READ ANONS COMMENT

        LMMFAO BEST ALBUM FOLLOWED BY TEFLON DON WHAAAT

        YOU DO NOT KNOW SHIT ABOUT RAP NEITHER OF THOSE ARE TOP 10 THIS YEAR

    3. I doubt Recovery would have sold this much if it had a MMLP or SSLP sound to it. His radio singles definitely got him more young teenage girl fans

      Let’s face it: Eminem is a pop star now

      1. He had two songs with “pop” stars on the album and only one of them got radio play and all of a sudden hes a pop star? SHITTTTTTT. He fucks up beats that people like Drake and Young Money think they can handle. Every album he takes the new trend, does it better than the people who made it famous and shuts the shit down.

    4. Recovery IS the best album of the year. Idk why people are saying this album is week. The songs are great as well as the rhymes etc. Don’t compare to MMLP or SSLP this guy has changed. IT IS normal that his flow is not the same and that he don’t talk about the same stuff in his songs.

      Eminem best rapper alive AND off all time!

      /close

      1. LOL, you sound like a fag calling him a stan, so what if he is a stan, thats what rappers lack these days, they have no support, whereas eminem has still got the support from his fans since THE SLIM SHADY LP era

      2. yeah he is a Stan, and a 5 year old at that just like the rest of the stan fan base, Em is ok but if he was black he would be pretty shit im telling you, and its his sound that everybody loves & his weak lyrics that a 2year old can understand and relate 2 like said stan above, this guy spells weak like week and of like off and this is your average em fan, im telling you there was 3 million 12 year olds that got the cd, and em sells that much cause he is white you fucking idiots he has a much bigger range of people he can sell 2 not being racist just tellin it like it is

      3. lmao Damn, I thought Stan drowned in a trunk with his girlfriend. Recovery isn’t the best LP of the year, it’s the wackest Em’s LP. Stop eating his cock and dig in the underground rap.

      4. I agree with on the fact that most people need to listen to some underground shit. But you can’t tell me their aren’t black people bumping EM everyDAY!

      5. I’m black and I like Eminem. I love SSLP, MMLP and The Eminem Show but Encore is really wack, Relapse is a good comeback and Recovery disappoint me, he’s too nervous and he screams too loud on it.

    5. For those of you that are critical…3 million plus for a single album stadiums that are sold out and respect from other emcees alike shit he must be doing something right…if his. Music is becoming lame to you shut it off and throw on some justin bieber it will suit you

    6. I find it funny that people think recovery has sold so many becuz its a “pop” album but relapse was basically a big fuck u to the radio an shit an it still went double platnum in the usa alone. to me that jus means his fans stayed loyal.

    7. every time there’s an Em related article these days you get the same conversation in the comments, never anything new.

      Bottom line is, if you don’t like it, nobody really cares, there isn’t a sole in the music industry right now, or for the last year that’s had the courage to stand up and say Em is garbage or he fell off, even respected lyricists are afraid of voicing a negative opinion if they really harbour one deep down. Think about what that means about the hip hop industry, ain’t nobody lining up to take a shot at him, period.

      1. bullshit, Canibus dissed him and his weak ass crew this year and he never replied to him

        Em only replies to weak rappers n disses from females

        Mariah Carey he’ll respond to but one of Hip Hops illest lyricists who is known as one of the illest battlers of all time doesnt get a response, one word

        SHOOK

      2. yeah…because when Cannibus has something to say people listen right…That dude hasn’t been relevant in years. Why give him free publicicty by responding? I guess Jay-Z is a pussy too because he didn’t diss MC Hammer back?

      3. Canibus? People still listen to that garbage? Sorry but his music sucks. I rather listen to Young Money than that shit. And I’m not a LL Cool J or Eminem stan (I do like those artists). Most annoying ass voice in the rap history. At least Lil Wayne can make decent songs once in a while.

        BTW Congrats to Eminem, I would like my boys the Roots to go on top though. But Recovery was good.

      4. I don’t know Canibus is pretty good… But Eminem is a much better battle rapper… Canibus is one of the most lyrical rappers ever tho…

      5. Eminem made his Cannibus disses 8 years ago and it took Cannibus that long to come back at EM not the other way around.

      6. LOL @ Canibus being elite. ,aybe to your backpacker ass, that Melatonin majik abum sold less then 2,000 copies the week it came out, which makes him a bum even by underground standards, Canibus could even draw a response from Tech N9ne at this point, wouldnt be worth his time either

    8. I love how ppl think that he sells 3 mil because he is a great mc, hah.

      p.s Hey em, ive been down that road to, will you hold my hand?

      1. Yeah, that’s like saying that Wii Sports is the greatest game of all time because of its sales. Em isn’t trash though. There are worse on the radio lol.

    9. well i love him and i think he deserves it because he is the best hands down….so any haters in Em’s words “can cut the crap”

      1. lol yea ok hes the best, hollah when he can make songs without recycling the same old content or he can write verses without 70% filler jus too maintain flow

      2. Eminem uses story telling, politics, personal issues, current events, comedy, drama, even horror in his music…. And he NEVER uses “filler” to maintain flow… Read his lyrics you idiot…. His verses are almost all perfectly writen stories or paragraphs with compound syllable rhymes… The grammer is usually even correct… Every rapper with any credibility says he’s a genious… I’m not sure if he’s the best because there are so many greats… But he’s right up there with the best..

      3. @ Heat357. There are plenty of dudes underground that do it better than Em. MUCH better. Like I mentioned above read Jay Electronica’s lyrics or Shad K’s. They make Em sound downright elementary. Not trying to shit on your boy Em, but I respectfully and strongly disagree that he’s the best. His lyrics, while understandable and at times insightful, are for the masses to easily understand.

      1. This dude definitely mad. If Em and Lil Wayne have dumb fan bases, then I guess rappers like Nas have the smart fan base right? The fans that don’t buy his music. The fans that let his album go double wood?

      2. No their fan bases (most of the time) claim that they are the greatest of all time, but they’ve never heard of the likes of Jay Electronica or Shad. Now I’m not saying they are the greatest, but it seems like these fans like Em and Wayne more than hip hop itself. I agree with anonymous somewhat.

      3. @JayC … When has any of Nas albums gone double wood? check the facts out son every one of his albums he’s put out has sold!!

      1. Fuck That White Power Bullshit, get your head out your ass son. LMFAO!!! Your comments remind me of The 2004 Racial Draft from Chappelles Show, The Black Delegation Requests Eminem.

      2. Ok i’m white and I thought that wasn’t cool. It’s 2010 racism should be gone. Wow I thought I was IGNORANT!

    10. WSUP PEEPS JUST JUMPED ON SITE SEE WSUP BEFORE I POP A BOTTLE OF THAT DOM P 1999 YA DIG.. ALL YOU HATERZ STOP PLEASE … EMINEM IS THE BIGGEST RAP ARTIST SELLING IN THE WORLD EVER EVER EVER EVER ….. SO LETS START WITH THAT FACT AND HE ALSO IS THE BEST RAPPER EVER WITH HIS STYLE WORD PLAY STAYIN ON TOPIC STORYTELLIN PUNCHLINES SHOULD I KEEP GOIN I DONT THINK SO.. SHADY IS A FUCKIN GODSEND FOR BEATING HIS ADDICTION AND BEING REAL WITH HIS RAP MUSIC FROM HIS CAREER.. THANKS EM AND THANKS DRE FOR TAKING A CHANCE ON THE WHITE BOY FROM 8MILE YA DIG… 32 MILLI SOLD AND CLIMBIN THATS JUST EM WITHOUT HIS LABEL …. I MEAN THATS JUST DISGUSTIN I KNOW EVERYONE THINKS WAYNE AND JAYZ ARE THE BEST AND BIGGEST BUT THERE NUMBERS ARE NUTHIN LITERALLY NUTHIN COMPARED TO SHADY.. DONT FORGET EM AND WEEZY LIVE SNL TONITE NO LOVE PEOPLE.. THOSE TWO ALONG WITH J ARE LITERALLY CARRYIN HIP HOP SO HOW CAN YOU HATE AND IM OUT GOT A DATE….. THE 1

      1. Burberry kid dont dont dont, oooop he just chocked to death on eminems cock, how can u hate im out got a date – hahahah you fucking lame gronk i bet your rapin in the mirror right now

    11. Yo niggaz, put the crack pipe down… Eminem sucks balls. He can’t rap for shit. I already exposed his fraud ass. Fuck you Hip Hop? He just dissed hip hop. Gucci Mane kills him in a freestyle.

      It’s Gucci Time!

      1. hahahaha good one man gucci is wack as fuck, eminem actually has good lyrics….. short bus shorty gucci nd the whole dicksquad suck

      2. Alright. Well first off, you’re an idiot. How are you gonna say Eminem sucks at rappin when the one thing that Em is known for (lyrics) is just one of the things that Gucci lacks. Em would fuck gucci up lyrically.

      3. LOL Gucci MANE???? really wow you need to go back and think about what you just said! You must love sucking dick because you are all the way on HIS! You must be a gay young money fan also aren’t you. “Yeah lets hear the next song that sounds the same as the last you just sang.”

      4. Listening to Gucci Mane! I would rather stick a rusty screwdriver in the tip of my cock. Shout out to Methed Man, not MANE.

      5. lmao you kids are fucking stupid. The kid is trolling the shit out of you. Any time you see Gucci mane is > any rapper, people are just fucking with the idiots who fall for that garbage

    12. @ listentojcole & g….. Superguccirap is making you look like fools.. He’s being sarcastic just to piss you off… Everyone keeps falling for it.. kinda funny…

    13. I DON’T GIVE A FUCK WHAT NOBODY SAYS… HE’S THE GREATEST RAPPER ALIVE SINCE THE GREATEST RAPPER DIED ON SEPTEMBER 13th 1996

      1. IT’S ALL GOOD… Cause AT THE END OF THE DAY, It Is What It Is… MY OPINION… I CAN’T GET MAD AT YOURS and YOU CAN’T GET MAD AT MINES… and IN MY OPINION… PAC IS #1 and EM IS #2.

    14. Funny how these new hip hop kids think if you sell records you are whack. Back in the days if you sold records that meant people actually liked your shit. Now kids think it means u suck, LOL. No wonder hip hop is dead, look how fucked up people think, LOL. If you don’t sell you are the best, if you do sell you are wack! I love it.

      1. I know… Plus the CD sales are down from back then. Sure, there is crap that sells like Justin Bieber but moms buy that for their little spoiled daughters. Eminem on the other hand wouldn’t be for little girls especially for his lyrics. There are underground rappers that suck anyway. Like Chuggo, Insane Clown Posse or Jedi Mind Tricks. Only 15 year old non-conformists who think it’s cool to swear and use homophobic words like those pussies. I listen to Atmosphere, Murs, and The Roots but they are underground. Of course they don’t sell. But I like Eminem, Kanye, Jay-Z and even Lil Wayne got good skills. Most of them hating are either New Yorkers who think Nas, Lloyd Banks or Canibus are real hip hop or loners. Fuck them.

      2. No your wrong, the only shit that sells is the people who get played on the radio. and hearing the same 20songs everyday all day doesn’t seem like its great to me. You like commercial bullshit, I don’t doesn’t mean i’m young. Just means I’m tired of the same shit over and over.

      3. Andrew, what the fuck are you talking about. You’re going to say eminem is one of the greatest rapper, then say you dont like commercial shit? You must be a fucking retard. How is that ride on the short bus.

      4. If that were the case, then was the Susan Boyle sell a lot of copies? I don’t hear her at all on the radio. Not saying I like her music but she manages to sell well without radio play. How can K’naan not sell when his song was in the fucking World Cup? Nas can’t sell despite a big name himself and another big Reggae star in Damien Marley, who happens to be the son of legendary Bob Marley. Sells do mean a lot. If selling less mean being better, than Soulja Boy must make good music now since album flopped badly.

    15. Kanye has the best album of the year and when you listen to them both you will understand, just cause eminem raps fast dont mean he is the greatest

      1. No he’s the greatest and has the best album of the year because Kanye isn’t shit. The only album he did his thing on, on every track was his first! Em has gone hard on almost every album, just because you haven’t liked his last couple doesn’t mean shit. Let me guess you like his 2nd and 3rd but didn’t like anything after?

      2. Every single Kanye album is great. Graduation was less than 50k short of platinum in its first week, kanye is sick, so is em. They coexist as absolute greats.

        And eminem does not go hard on every album. He fell off after eminem show a bit. I dont like relapse, and encore is just okay.

    16. Almost every comment that I’ve read has been trash, everybody who is criticizing Em and talking about all of the other albums that are better out there should probably go and BUY IT. Em is one of the only reasons that real Hip-Hop is still alive. Without Em the top selling hip hop albums would be from young money(which is trash). And of course his styles has changed, hes 38 years old. hes not going to rap about the shit that he was going through back when he was younger. Hes evolved as an artist and obviously people are feelin him

    17. @fppf …you are fuckin mistaken about Kayne’s album being better then Em’s ur on drugs u gota be on fuckin acid to deal wit Kayne’s new style he is a sick lyricist but im sorry 3 tracks tops are good on that album ….Its over everyone get ready cause Em will own 2011 too..he is a fuckin monster and the GOAT …so just deal wit it ….Recovery has sold over 5.7 million worldwide …..when is the last time u can say that about ur favorite rapper…Eat a dick …real recognize real

    18. Crybabies keep crying, Em Keeps winning, and things are as they should be

      I been seein dude whine like little hoes bout this dude for about 12 years now “CRAKKA ASS CRAKKA SELLIN TO CRAKKAS WITH HIS POP SELLOUT ANNOYING VOICE PICKING ON POP STARS OVERATED BLAH BLAH BLAH”

      I think thats the only reason I root for this dude now, because so many other cats get all vaginal and sensitive about his success, makes me wanna go buy an eminem album,lo

      1. lmao, they’re not even cats. They’re hip hop critics who have never been inside of a booth before, people consider Big L the GOAT after hearing that corny ass bevis/butthead line, and people that call albums “classic” before they even come out.

    19. Without Em and Jay Z I would have no reason to turn on a rap radio station anymore, so good for him, nice to see that someone who can actually rap is outselling all the 3rd grade reading level, downsydrome ass rappers of the modern day

    20. Em’s a lyrical genious! his old stuff was dope, but his mid shit was, well…shit, but hes comen back with recovery! hes killn em! keep doin ya thing!

    21. You guys need to check out Shawty Mane. He’s gonna be the XXL’s Freshmen Class of 2011. He’s already successful as a pop singer who happens to be the talented Justin Bieber, but the kid got skills. He raps better than Eminem, Biggie and 2pac combined.

      Check out Speaking In Tongues.

    22. EMINEM HAS A MAJORITY WHITE FAN BASE! REAL NIGGAS DON’T LISTEN TO THAT BULLSHIT! ONLY YOU LIL BITCH ASS WHITE BOYS THAT LEAVE THE DIC RIDING COMMENTS ON HERE! YOU BITCHES KILL ME TALKING ABOUT EMINEM, YOU EAST COAST CATZ THE ONLY ONES FEELINGS THAT BULLSHIT ASS MUSIC! THE SOUTH DON’T BUMP THAT BULLSHIT! SO FUCK THE YOU EAST COAST KNOW-NOTHINGS! FUCK EMINEM, JAY-Z AND ALL THEM OTHER PUSSIES YALL SUPPORT! THE REAL PISTOL CARRYING, THUGGIN IN THE STREETS TYPE NIGGA IS IN THE SOUTH!YOUR FAVORITE RAPPER WOULDN’T LAST FIVE MINUTES WHERE IM FROM,IT WOULD BE A MASSACARE!

      1. im actually very positive every one of my favorite rappers have done dozens of shows in the south, and i really cant remember any massacres.

      2. I’m from the south, and I listen to rappers from all over the country. East coast hip-hop is on the decline, Southern rap is on the decline, and West coast has been on the decline. So now it’s time to make, listen, and support good music. This music can come from any part of the country, from somebody of any color, and *surprise* even from people who don’t carry around guns, sell drugs, and are otherwise ignorant. That’s the point of trying to make it in the game; someone doesn’t have to go back to the hood or be surrounded by all of the violence and poverty — even if the hip-hop form came from the street.

      3. So when did hip hop become all about being a thug and pistol packin??? So a real nigga is an illiterate, dumb fuck that’s in and out of prison? Real hip hop is only by artists that have a jail record? Man you lil kids today are fucked up.

    23. HIP HOP ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT SPITTIN IT HOW YOU LIVE IT! KANYE, JAY-Z, EMINEM,ARE ALL POP RAP THE NEW GENRE! MOST OF YOUR FAVORITE RAPPERS ARE REAL LIFE FAGGOTS THAT LIKE BOY PUSSY! THEY AIN’T RAPPING ABOUT THAT SHIT HUH? HOW THEY BE FUCKING DUDES IN THE ASS TO GET AHEAD, THE SHIT IS TRUE YALL JUST DONT SEE IT CAUSE YALL ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN!

      1. Some people rap because they love making music, are celebrated for it, and make lots of money (Jay-Z, Em, Kanye, Wayne..etc.). Some people rap because it’s more of a culture (Gucci, DMX), these people tend to get arrested often and are only relevant for a short period of time. This “new genre” that you are talking about has higher standards of music; rap has become more of an art form over the years. It develops and changes with society and speaks on real life issues. All rappers are in the entertainments business, and all successful rappers are signed by labels whose main goal is profit. I believe most of the rappers’ main goal is profit. Eminem has been a prolific artist who has an incredibly complex rhyme scheme and yes, is popular among the mainstream. This is the only way you can sell 3 million records. If you dislike any rapper who is successful, you are missing the point entirely. You also can’t express yourself very well, so I assume that you aren’t well educated or intelligent enough to grasp what is really going on in the game. People like you don’t run record labels, don’t become rappers, and don’t become successful. Good luck to you in the future.

      2. ANONYMOUS I NOT BLACK YOU DICK FACE ASS DUDE! I JUST RECOGNIZE WHERE MOST OF HIS SALES ARE COMING FROM! @HIP HOP YOU BITCHES MAKE YOURSELVES LOOK BAD, YOU CAN’T STAND FOR A SOMEBODY TO SPEAK TRUTH! JAJA

    24. dudes not the GOAT or any of that shit, so stfu with that. i got mad respect for the dude and hes released alot of great music, not he is nowhere near the top. ill put him 13th, because the dude can still rip apart any feature or battle.

      1. your a dumbass. plain and simple. name another artists thats putting out the numbers he is. you cant fuck with em. dnt try and beef with him cuz he will rip your heart out and make you eat it by the way he spits. everything he spits has a meaning to it. not like wayne or drake or anyone. if you wernt illertate then youd understand what hes saying.

      2. honestly you cant even compare ems numbers to other rappers because of how much he carries the white fanbase and em knows it. I can’t remember where but he even spoke to it.

        The bottom line though is that though em is one of the best doing it, in terms of music *not lyrics* but music, this means overall song quality, ems album wasnt even the hottest album this year.

        KAnye’s was.

    25. EMINEM WON AN AFRICAN MUSIC AWARD FOR BEST INTERNATIONAL IN NIGERIA. IT SHOWS THAT IT IS NOT ABOUT RACE BUT ABOUT THE MUSIC. HE IS PRACTICALLY THE ONLY WHITE MC THAT HAS PROVEN THAT HE SHOULD BE RESPECTED LIKE ANY OTHER BLACK MC IN THIS BLACK CULTURE WE ALL CALL HIP HOP. BIG UP TO EM !

    26. You can hear the passion in the man’s lyrics. Point blank period. I was watching him and Lil Wayne on SNL & the man may not be as animated as he once was (he has aged since he started hasn’t he?)but he lyrics still come out like he’s still trying to get on. When good music is good it has no color. The shit is as clear as a fresh glass of water or Ciroc. (Choose your poison) For credibility purposes this opinionated statement comes from a black man sitting on the can typing on his day off while listening to the broken bells. I love music by the way if you don’t know.

    27. YO MY NIGGA EM STRAIGHT FELL OFF RIGHT OFF THE SIDE OF DA EARTH MY NIGGAS HE SHIT IS STRAIGHT SLIPPIN THIS NIGGA NEED TA BALL UP GET HIS FACE OUTTA RIHANNA LEGS, HOP OFF WAYNES DICK AND MAKE A REAL RECORD REAL TALK!

      GOAT

    33. wow! Ummmmm Em’s washed up…his voice sounds diffrent…damn all that money and you’re still a pill poppin animal and and shroom addict?? Yea no one plays this guy in any club ceot that Rihanna joint…i always skip his part and jus play hers…anybody else do this or jus me…lol!!! Record sales dnt mean youre the shit…trust this…message!

    34. Fuck this wigger. Nothing but a racist bitch. Unlike rap god Nas, Eminem will never care for Africa. Nas’s last album was about struggle in Africa. Eminem made a pop album with crappy pop acts like Lil Wayne, Pink and Rihanna. Boo hoo. No one cares, go back to retirement. Also, Kanye’s album sucks too.

      The only good rappers are Eligh, The Grouch, Vinnie Paz and Apathy. Nas is the best rapper of all time DEAD OR ALIVE.

      Distant Relatives!

    35. Yall racist fucks on this board need to be shot. this aint the 80s no more GROWup and if u think em is trash yall need to stop listenin to music. specially if u think any of gucci man’s songs were hot other then wasted. Go listen to faggot ass wacKa Flacka bum ass

    36. I understand why he sells and everything and why people dig his shit….but he aint the shit at all. If he wins best rap album at the grammys…..then Im going to lose all faith in the way the majority judges music. I dig the underground and the commercial, Jay-Z, Kanye, Drake, Big Boi, Ghostface, Jedi Mind Tricks, Brother Ali, Atmosphere, all these dudes are better than Em. Not saying hes not good by any means, I just think that these other people deserve more praise than him…just sayin

      1. Ok… Jay-Z, Drake, Kanye, Big Boi, Ghostface, Jedi Mind Tricks, Brother Ali and Atmosphere are better than Eminem?

        Jay-Z is on par with Eminem. Both are Top 5 Dead or Alive. Drake is more of a new comer but I like the dude. Drake, Kid Cudi, Wiz and B.o.B are the reason why I went back to mainstream Hip Hop from the dead genre of rock. Kanye made the better album no lie. MBDTF was the best album of 2010. Big Boi is good but Andre 3000 is way better. Ghostface is good too but again, Raekwon the Chef is better. Not hating on Big Boi or Ghostface but Eminem is better imo. Jedi Mind Tricks blows. Sorry but I can’t stand that satanic rap bullshit. Yes, Eminem raps about horrorcore too but Vinnie Paz comes to a point where he overdoes it. Brother Ali is underrated. He deserves more recognition. As for Atmosphere, there’s one I can agree. I’m a big fan of Atmosphere. People say that Atmosphere is underground rap for chicks because he raps the same topics like Drake, but at least Atmosphere concerts will have hot smart chicks unlike some Jedi Mind Tricks concert which is a cockfest with ignorant assholes who talk shit on the internet and don’t even support their artists. But Slug is the most real rapper out there. I have Slug, Murs, Eminem, Kanye, and Jay-Z as my favorites and best rappers in the game.

    37. i don’t understand why ppl are on Em’s dick so much, as soon as he drops something ppl come and say its a fucking classic. You shitting me? Recovery aint no fucking classic, its a shitty album and thats just being real with you. Don’t get me wrong I think em was a fucking talented rapper but his last 3 albums are all fucking crap. And stop with your bullshit ass talk about record sales!

      As Guru (r.i.p) said it: “I’m feelin satisfaction from the street crowd reaction” and isn’t that so much more worth than a fan base of 15 year old girls and some fucking dick riders.

      1. Ok, I like Guru but you can’t deny Eminem is a good rapper. Back in the day, sales records mean a lot. That meant people actually liked your music. Eminem sells well because his fans actually buy the CDs unlike Nas fans which bootleg the CDs once the album leaks. Eminem fans download it to get a preview but when the CD comes out, we buy it. So what if Eminem got some songs on the radio, I never hear Susan Boyle and yet she sells and currently number 1 and I don’t even like her music. I like underground music but I don’t complain about the sells. It’s not meant for radio play. I’m not some 15 year old or a dick rider, I’m a fan of music not just hip hop. That’s why I can listen from the likes of Eminem to Atomsphere to Drake to Kanye West to Linkin Park to Metallica to Pink Floyd to Sublime and so on. If you hate the current state of music why don’t get off your ass and make some music? If not, then shut the fuck up. Music doesn’t rely on what sounds manly to you.

    38. Lauryn Hill >>> Eminem
      Congrats to Em. This is good for hip hop… but don’t misunderstand … he’ll be the G.O.A.T. when he can f** with Lauryn Hill. Don’t even think of going post to post with me on their lyrics … she destroys him. L.Boogie = greatest MC alive!
      Mystery of Iniquity by Lauryn H.

      Hypocritical giants
      Morally non-compliant
      Orally armed to do bodily harm
      Polluted, recruited and suited judicial charm
      And the defense isn’t making any sense
      Faking the confidence of escaping the consequence
      That a defendant is depending on the system
      Totally void of judgment purposely made to twist em’
      Emotional victim blackmailed by the henchmen
      Framed by intentions
      Inventions whereby they lynch men
      Enter the false witness slandering the accused
      Planting the seed openly showing he’s being used
      To discredit, edit, headed for the alleged
      Smearing the individual fearing the unsuspected
      Expert witness (the paid authority)
      Made a priority to deceive the majority
      Of disinterested peers
      Dodging duty for years
      Hating the process
      waiting to be returning to their careers
      Do we expect the system made for the elect
      To possibly judge correct?
      Properly serve and protect?
      Materially corrupt
      Spiritually amuck
      Oblivious to the cause
      Prosperously bankrupt
      Blind leading the blind
      Guilty never defined
      Filthy as swine
      A generation purin it’s own mind
      Legal extortion
      Blown out of proportion
      In vein deceit
      The truth is obsolete
      Only two positions:
      Victimizer or Victim
      Both end up in destruction trusting this crooked system
      Mafia with diplomas keeping us in a coma trying to own a piece
      of the “American Corona”
      The Revolving Door
      Insanity every floor
      Skyscraping, paper chasing
      What are we working for?
      Empty traditions
      Reaching social positions
      Teaching ambition to support the family superstition?
      When the Son of Podition is Commander in Chief
      The standard is Thief
