RAPTURE AUSTRALIA 2014 STARS
EMINEM In a headline spot hot off the release of the Marshall Mathers LP 2, due on November 5, and billed as one of the most anticipated albums of the year. The Guardian said of his recent shows in Britain: "His stage presence is as potent as ever." Eminem sold out every seat of his triumphant stadium tour in Australia two years ago. A 13-time Grammy and Oscar winner, Eminem has sold 80 million albums, scanned 120 million singles and had 2.5 billion views online. In Australia, Eminem's multi-platinum albums Recovery, Encore and The Eminem Show, and hit singles Without Me, Lose Yourself and Love The Way You Lie, are ranked on a biggest-ever sellers list in annual charts compiled by the Australian Recording Industry Association. ARIA has certified The Marshall Mathers LP (2000) for sales of 4 x platinum, The Eminem Show (2002) 8 x platinum, Encore (2004) 4 x platinum, and Recovery (2010) 3 x platinum.
KENDRICK LAMAR A blinding ray of rap genius from the sunshine state, California, with his ground breaking album, good kid, m.A.A.d city, hits Swimming Pools and Poetic Justice, and crowned the new king of the West Coast by Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre.
J. COLE Chart-topping rapper who got the tick of approval from Jay-Z with his clever rhymes and intriguing lyrical content, then followed through to deliver street savvy work including two No.1 albums, Cole World: The Sideline Story, and his latest Born Sinner.
360 Hometown hero and ARIA Award winner 360 broke through with a platinum-selling album Falling And Flying, and hit singles including Boys Like You, telling true tales from familiar streets without pretending or posturing. LOSE YOURSELF AUSTRALIA, AND GET CAUGHT UP IN THE RAPTURE IN 2014
Maybe it's hatred I spew, maybe it's food for the spirit Maybe it's beautiful music I made for you to just cherish But I'm debated disputed hated and viewed in America as a motherfuckin drug addict - like you didn't experiment?
Goat lineup....dunno bout all that 360 noise but what the hey...I would love that show...I usually don't like tour lineups cuz it normally has 1 person I listen to n that rest gaylords

Yeh it's crazy. Year after year with the European Mini-tours. Now Australian mini-tour. Detroit and NYC but never a state to state tour like every other rapper.
It is so pathetic that I live in America and can never see this dude. He can't go to either Portland or Seattle just once every 10 million years? I'm honestly heated.
