he's kinda... i don't know how you say it, like he HAS to be succesful.


Where the hell did you hear that? :confusion:

You didn't know? The tylenol 3 overdose after Infinite flopped and his boss fired him right before Christmas in 1996.


Nope, but thanks. I need to step my Stan game up. :shakehead:

If he...

1. announces it'll be his farewell album
2. some huge controversy is brought up before its released
3. he dies prior to its release

Not Afraid was as successful a lead single can be and it didnt do it with recovery so

Yes, I think he'll sell 1 million in the first week, and he needs a fucking track featuring Xzibit damnit!

Hopefully he won't, this is 2012 not 2001.

Carter 4 easily did over 1mill first week. :coffee: Just saying.

You mean Birdman easily walked into every store he could see that week and bought all of their C4 copies?

Such Stannish reactions, not recognising cases where Eminem has succeeded as well as others. Wayne is out there a lot more than Em and thus is able to incite more of a buzz. If Em put himself out more to be in the public eye, there is every possibility he could trump what he's achieved already. It is amazing that he can sell so much from being so quiet, but he has no one to blame if he achieves little from remaining reclusive.

Carter 4 didn't reach a million, the first week was 964,000.

The last hip-hop album to do it was in 2008 with Carter 3.

Personally i don't think 1st week sales or sales in general matter but whilst we're on the subject i think Eminem can indeed sell 1 million first week with his next album. It's all about promotion. He has around 55 million facebook followers. That will likely be 60 million or more when his next album is out. When Recovery was released he had about 7 million or so. Getting a message out to all those people would be big. Plus those 60 million are all over the world so his worldwide sales will certainly improve. If the promotion with this, television and radio is correct then anything is possible.
