Will Em ever be MJ status?

[Dark Blue]

maybe...who knows

[RealSickLindley]

Maybe when Eminem touches a little kid & dies

Had to be one, just glad its you.. You get a pass.

Nah, there's going to be more than one. No one can fuck with MJ from a musical/iconic/talent standpoint so they need to have that to bring up, regardless of it never having been proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Once you list all the great things Michael Jackson could do and achieved, you are prone to getting a "uh, well, he still touched little boys LOLOLOLOLOLOL" reaction because otherwise they would just have to acknowledge his greatness. So I usually chuckle when it gets to that.

Derdy just occasionally trolls, he probably doesnt even mean it lol

I know, had plenty of arguments with people before.

Oh, never mind then lol. I can get behind some good trolling, but I was just pointing that out because that's how it usually goes in other MJ related convos I've had.

[UofLCard]

Most likely no. Heck, there are people in third world countries who know who MJ is.

He won't be as famous as MJ, but imo eminem is better than MJ in everything. except dancing lol

Joke? Or please explain.. lol

It's not a joke. I really think Eminem is more talented than MJ imo. but most peaople say MJ is talented more

As I've said already in another thread recently, it's comparing apples to oranges. One raps and the other did pop/R 'n' B.

[dark456]

I am a big eminem fan or stan lol BUT some of you other stans have lost your minds ...

Eminem will never be as big as MJ matter of fact NO ONE WILL EVER BE as big as MJ

Not Eminem , Jay Z , Tupac , Biggie whoever you can name they all are under MJ

[S.T.A.N.]

Who said EM cant dance.Em can breakdance oldschool,can MJ do that?

This.

Plus it's like comparing The Beatles or Elvis to MJ, Beatles have shifted around double the amount of records MJ did but you can't compare them, they are both the best at what they did. Just like Em is in Hip-Hop/Rap.

No.

Michael Jackson had universal appeal to an extent that Eminem just can not reach. MJ has an estimated 750+ million record sales. Eminem has ~80 million which is very impressive, but no where near MJ status. For anyone who thinks different, you're sadly mistaken. Eminem is a bit too crude, insulting and vulgar to even begin reaching untapped masses that MJ had. Pop music always will and has reached the most amount of people. MJ was a pop star. Eminem is a rap/hip-hop artist who occasionally does a pop song or two.

Eminem and Michael Jackson are products of different eras. Back when Michael came up, music actually mattered...now it's kind of just optional. Music is cool when you don't have anyone to text or message on facebook.

MJ has done officially around 300 mill, those numbers a way way way over estimated, the beatles around 500-600. And Em has done around 120 million record sales, 80+ million albums and over 35+ million singles/downloads. But yeah you can't compare musicians from different genres.

I'm not sure where you're getting 120 million record sales. I would like a source on that. Eminem is a very famous and talented guy, but he is no where near MJ status and just can not be. There's a bit of discrepancy with the official MJ sales but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say he sold 300 million. Em still only has 80 million and will probably top out somewhere int he 100 million zone.

It doesn't really matter what the number are. The point is Em will not reach MJ status and I think he and everybody else knows that and accepts that. This is kind of a dumb topic.
