have you been on any hip-hop related site lately?! Great feedback? Dudes been getting more hate than love. Plus, of the MILLIONS of fans he got, only 4 million buying his shit. The rest of us download the shit and thats it. You for example listened to a leaked EP.

Dont realy post on this forum much, but I used to download albums from time to time, thinkin these artists are making millions, whats £10-£15 gona do to there bank acount, although I have always been a loyal eminem fan and always have gon out and got the album, and i'll do the same with the BME EP, but this track made me realise artists work hard to give us new material and I for one will not be downloading any more albums that I dont intend to get.

When my music you take so subtle, just to give it away
To people who don't even appreciate flows, motherfucker, I'm living today
Cause I break my back to give you my art, you steal my thoughts
It's like driving a spike through my heart

anyone seriously believes that he is talking about money? :confusion:

the second line could apply to many people here :whistle:
In the land of the killers, a sinner's mind is a sanctum.

Yeah, and he was the biggest selling artist of the decade because people PAID FOR HIS SHIT. He won't be the best selling nothing with people, including his own fans, illegally downloading but then not subsequently paying for the album. lol When I was reading that clusterfuck of a youtube post that was A Kiss, when the stans came in "defending" Em, a lot used that stat, "biggest seller of the decade," "biggest seller of 2010," etc. Think about what it took for them to nonchalantly brag about that stat - um...people actually BUYING. Just something to think about.

No idea what's going on in the man's head, but I really don't believe he is. It's the point.

You've got me wrong. I meant it as in I truly believe it's nothing to do with the money, but rather the principle of stealing his music. Refer to my previous post for a detailed explanation on what I am trying to put across.

I feel the same but I have no choice, I got fkn 14cents in my bank
Eminem lives for music and I live for eminem's music.
When someone finally hires me I'll buy it all like no tomorrow
would even walk up and hand money to him and pray at his feet like that dude on GRODT.

I've already ordered this EP, and I have every single Eminem album. Not saying I do that with other artists by any means, but Eminem is different for me. I want to show him that respect. I don't think his pain is about the money. He knows he has money. It's about having something you worked really hard on and that is very important to you and personal stolen and just put out there for the whole world. Then to have your own fans begging for more leaks has to hurt. It makes me feel horrible about the whole Koolo thing. Just like he says in Take From Me, music is his life, and it means so much to him, so when it's stolen, it hurts. It has nothing to do with money.

I've always bought my music. The only things that I don't buy are songs that aren't available on iTunes...which is like half of my Eminem collection, haha.
