Eminem is not the big star he used to be, anymore. The spotlight is now on people like Lady Gaga etc..
pessimist
Who is this "etc" who is in the spotlight so much that Eminem is not even in their league in current stardom? Lady GaGa, okay, she's probably the biggest thing going right now in the states, but your post sounds like Eminem is totally out of it in reference to a whole group of people. Relapse and Recovery sales both say you're wrong. Em has never had a problem maintaining strong sales, even for an album like Relapse that wasn't mainstream friendly in the least. Whether or not he's the biggest selling artist of the decade depends on how many album he puts out, if he's hungry enough to maintain the level of popularity he's at now, and what other stars blossom in the next ten years. I'd be surprised if he did it, but saying it's impossible and that Em isn't even that big of a star in reference to album sales is retarded, untrue, and unnecessarily negative.
Caution to the wind, complete freedom. Look at these rappers, how I treat 'em, so why the fuck would I join 'em when I beat 'em?
