Spotify - Eminem, the #1 mainstream artist amongst men

[EminemBase]

I'm actually surprised... I don't know almost anyone (in person, ofc) who listens to Em regularly.

Anyone who *says they listen in person.

It long ago became cool to hate Eminem because he's too big and hip-hop is about being left-field and underground... the same is even true for Kanye. I have a friend who just blindly dismisses any post-MMLP Em and then when I debate him on it he talks pure shit and doesn't have a leg to stand on... it's obvious he just felt it was becoming too liked by too many and felt repelled by it. And same with Ye's shit.

But so many fuckers listen to him. And just pretend they don't or like they've 'grown out of him'.

How do I know what, exactly?
That he's a douche or that he's mostly popular in the States?
Common sense combined with album and single sales.

Pretty big in the UK too though.

I don't understand how it's ignorant bashing. Dude's a douche. I made no comments as to the quality of his albums.
Also, his popularity is largely restricted to the States.

People here listen to Ye way more than they listen to Em.

[kkaniff]

Y'all misunderstand, no doubt Kanye is listened to pretty much everywhere with steady internet.
But he isn't as globally popular as Drake, Em, 50, Snoop or even Kendrick.
Hence mostly popular in the States, that's where a majority of his fans are.

You have figures to back that up?

You're not factoring in his cultural relevancy.

Enlighten me.
Does it seem like I'm being a Kanye hater? Because I'm not.

Kanye West and Drake are bigger worldwide then post 2005 fifty, they're bigger than Snoop and no doubt they're bigger than Kendrick. They're probably the biggest rappers worldwide if you don't count Em.

[kkaniff]

Okay, cool. Y'all have convinced me.

Eminem is better who gives a fuck. Anyways. Cool post op

[EG.]

the fuck kind of dudes are bumping bruno mars?

Horse please, Bruno Mars makes GREAT music. He obviously won.


Lol at Eminem being so low on the women list though

[kkaniff]

^ Abel fan? There is hope for TR after all.

[kasia]

Eminem and Rihanna, and you wonder why he works with her....

[The3RD]

And this is why The Monster tour is a genius endeavor.

Top artist for females and top artist for males in the same venue. It's a no brainer and has potential to be one of the most lucrative concerts in a long time.

what

A lot of people in Europe would rather listen to snoop or 50 than Kanye, trust me. It's stupid as fuck, but true.

Yelawolf just dropped the single of the year and he didn't make the top 10?

Great...
