Eminem is going back in the mainstream

Hey Alaine. I like young girls obviously and I don't get the oppurtunity to talk to them at all in fact. Well, I don't care really what you're like on the inside and I just really want you to come to bed with me. Would you do that if you could? Even if you were just average on the outside (but not fat) I could like you if you sounded smart.

HAHAHAHA That's just the best comment I've ever read on here. Haha class.

You are the new Sac. Better than Sac, I'd go as far to say.

Em's popularity wasn't declining with The Re-Up. Well, if at all only because he wasn't making solo music.

But considering Curtain Call was just a greatest hits and sold nearly half a mill 1st week (in 2005) and had two top ten singles AND the fact The Re-Up was basically a fucking mixtape and still did what it did... I think it's safe to say he was still very popular lmao.

He took a self-imposed break, he didn't fizzle out. But yeah wouldn't be surprised if Recovery did like 800k now.

Well, Em was still selling a lot of records, but he had to some degree lost touch with hip hop listeners and maybe even the community in general. The mouth to mouth (i know you know the importance of it) wasn't just positive anymore and to me it seemed like a lot of people had given up on him. His decline started with Encore, but after Re-Up he disapeared and he fell you off the mainstage completely for four year, as you said.

And btw, I really believe Em will do a milli. Everyone who bought Relapse will buy Recovery, but this time around he'll appeal to the mainstage aswell. 400k ekstra? No problem...

Well I don't agree that he lost touch with hip-hop listeners. Maybe with people who just like gangsta rap or strongly disliked his silly shit but a lot of people that were really into him, remained into him. Again, I'm talking about the hardcore base, not casual music fans or screaming teenagers.

Everybody has ups and downs, I know of no artist, Hip-Hop or other that literally just got better and better with every single album and no missteps. Encore had some missteps but still had a lot of forceful artistry and impressive lyricism. Even if not upto previous standards.

Also, most people are Em-stans constantly but just never admit it. Only difference between a hardcore Em fan and a general hip-hop fan who bashes on Em is that one admits he's a genius and the other pretends he's too cool to like him lmao. Happens with everybody when they get too big. People like to pretend they're on the fringe and have a defined taste that nobody else can tap into.

But notice how every rap forum has been bashing Em, calling anyone who likes him a 'stan' then with this "Despicable" freestyle and "Not Afraid" I'm already seeing 90% of those people shout he's the GOAT and saying Recovery will be the greatest thing in history lmao.

People's memories are fickle and the last thing you do is usually the most remembered but Em never really lost it. He just had a few self-imposed dips.

LMAO, I found the perfect sig!

Sac that's just sick

[macdaddy019967]

Eminem is still the top rapper today and has been for the last decade

everytime he drops an album he gets the most comments/sales

[strikeboy]

Are you calling me sac cause that's not me...

[Alaine]

^ nah, was talking bout Sac's post? last single? wtf?
Don't mind, I know you're not serious.

[Mikey1990]

i think em got more buzz for recovery
he will do 600-700k 1st week
because i think not afraid is a hit

[SoldierShady]

Eminem is not popular anymore. i don't care how much he's sold recently. the general public doesn't like him. not because he's bad, but because they just don't feel like branching out and listening to something new. while he was gone Lil Wayne took over, Gucci Mane, Timbaland, the shitty R&B singers, fuckin Black Eyed Peas, etc.... that's what they listen to. Eminem is too different from them so they don't bother listening.

Well you SHOULD care how much he's sold recently, you're KIND of not making sense here.
Lil' Gayne sells 1million first week with TC3 - people went out and bought his CD - popular i.e. "of general appeal."

Slaughterhouse releases an album that barely did 20k first week - people didn't buy it....the weren't, oh I don't know, THAT interested? - not popular.

FYI, one TWEET every 2 months or so from Eminem turns the internets into a jizz machine.

That's really what I want to do with girls. That's all I think about doing with them, most of the time anyway. Other than that I like hugging them when they're naked in bed I suppose. I've never thought about having a conversation over dinner with them in my head for example. So what is your response....

Unless you look exactly like Eminem & your real name is Marshall Mathers, I'm not interested

[strikeboy]

I've always tried to look like Eminem. Does that make any difference? So you like popular important guys. That's sort of a brainwashed effect.

Yeah that's what I was gunna bring up, how he sold what he did with curtain call and the re-up, def showed he was still loved and people wanted his music.
