Twitters Mentioning Em Official Topic

[EminemBase]

^ Em is not good at business AT ALL, all he has is a radio station & a record label where he's the only one selling records, well he has (had) a clothing line that no one even remember anymore if you want to count. I don't like Jay-Z but he is a smart business man, Em is not.

You don't know if Em is or not. It's just that he's chosen to keep everything about the music. It's not like he's tried huge ventures and failed, so you can't say he's not good.

The amount of movies, endorsements and god knows what else he must of turned down over the years must amount to a stupendous amount of money. And it just speaks volumes for his integrity, but if he embraced it all, he would easily surpass Jay's wealth.

But Jay is also a go-getter, he doesn't just sit back and wait for opportunities to present themselves.

Eminem isn't doing that either

He's quite obviously content with the wealth that he has and only cares about the music. It's not that he's 'not a go-getter' it's that he has no interest in it.

If he was constantly waxing ecstatic about wanting to be richer or a better businessman but was doing nothing about it you'd have a point. But... He's not. He's a music artist and that's all he cares about. Jay-Z cares about business also, so creates business for himself.

Simple as that.

It's not even strictly about business, or being a businessman as such, there are thousands of other ways Eminem could have (and still could) make additional money.

Just think of all the films he must have been offered
Television Work
Advertising Campaigns
etc etc

He could quite easily have whored himself out and agreed to endorse, promote or be the ambassador of various products / brands.

There are reasons why David Beckham has more money than Eminem, and this is one of them.

(No business skill required. Just a famous name attached to a product = win)

Of course.

And as an artist, it's simply a lack of integrity. Spreading yourself thin and using your name to make a quick buck on things which have nothing to do with your artistry.

Fact you've never seen Eminem's name on anything other than something relating to his music or something he's been heavily a part of and wanted to do speaks volumes of his integrity. He's hugely integral, he's the Ricky Gervais of rap music.

Although Gervais' integrity is in question of late but, Em's is in absolute tact.

50 said Em turned down 15 million dollars to do a movie with him. He is not doing a worldwide tour he can make a ton of money doing that especially with the popularity of recovery. He doesn't really do endorsements and shoot commercials.

Royce is right he doesn't really seem interested in becoming a billionaire. He's made a ton of money and probably just wants to take it easy.

that one thing i don't like about Eminem
he's unhuman when it comes to hustling...normal people would want to make as much money as humanly possible. If i had 75 million, i would want to make that 575 million.

Well part of that might be, in addition to him being poor at 25 to rich as fuck by 28, is the fact that he will continuously make money even if he sits at home and literally does nothing due to the royalties he will make for years and years even after he is dead. But to be honest, I doubt that ever crossed his mind

I see what you're saying tho, that's one thing I kinda never understood, and it might be different if you did make 75 million, but why people with so much money do anything possible to make more, when themsevles and their family for generations should be set. That's just me tho, I can't say how I would be if I had a couple million

idk y but i'm happy just having my $200 a week, i got offored a record deal from some underground label last year, but the name of the label made me think twice "Ca$hflow Underground", it sounds to gimmicky for me, plus, i'm happy making my music independant, i can honestly say i don't want to be rich, i'm afraid of the probl;ems it could cause and the drama it would bring, i'm happy with the shit i got

This is what Lupe said about being Jay-Z like rich. I think it's a great comment, and this is how Eminem thinks as well.

"There's a misunderstanding with my fanbase,'' ''People [at Warner] feel they know my fans more than I do. They want me to step out of my comfort zone and step into theirs. I don't have necessarily the celebrity success they want me to have, but it's more social success and being able to speak at a college about world affairs. That's a success to me. I don't want to be Jay-Z and be worth $400 million and perform on every awards show. It's getting in touch with somebody who needs to improve their self-esteem as opposed to driving a Bentley and putting some chains on."

Not everyone wants to be Jay-Z rich.

this is very true, and i respect Lupe alot, and it's pretty knwon that label's aim to push artist's a little to far, and try to create something that they are not, underground labels don't do that as much, which is why i respect underground artist's alot more

[Sam.]

Lot's of shitty talk and no Twitter Post's .WTF!

[Rash J]

Bottom line is: if Eminem wanted a shit load of $$$, he can. I think considering how broke he was, he's simply thankful that he and his family can live comfortably. I never did understand Jay. Like what do you need that much money for anyway smh, not like you can bring it to the grave. I guess in the end, it's just a matter of preference. If I'm rich, I'd rather enjoy life than wondering how to get richer.
