All the commotion!

Postby Jay-19 » Jun 9th, '09, 15:32

I thought about this yesterday and I think it's really interesting...

No matter what Eminem does, the commotion about it is far greater than if any other artist and/or actor would have done it.
Like the Relapse album, name one artist that could sell that many copies with so little promotion.
Name one artist who's more loved/hated than Eminem.
If Bruno would have done that thing at the MTV awards to, let's say, Ludacris, do you still think it would be the same commotion about it?
No.

I think Eminem is one of the most influential and famous artists in the history. He's up there with Elvis and The Beatles, no doubt.

I saw this survey in a paper some time ago, where they asked a ton of people in Asia what names in the Western world they know. Almost everyone answered either Eminem, Jesus Christ or Elvis...


I don't know what I want to say with this topic, but I had to write it down somewhere, and figured this forum is the perfect place. :p

What you think about it...?

Really?
I felt like it did have so little promotion... :unsure:
Oh well, my bad then... :happy:

But even if someone else had as much promotion as Eminem, do you think it would've been the same?

I agree with you. He is really a legend :worship:
And btw Relapse had a lot of promotion.
"Proof, No matter how much time passes, not a day goes by that I don't think of you. If it weren't for you, I would not be where I am today and we both know it. I tried to write song for you but nothing was good enough, so I'm dedicating them all to you-and you'd be happy to know that I spazzed out on 'em gain!I know you wouldn't have it any other way! Fuck 'em all--let's get 'em!
P.S. I'm sober now, I know you'd be proud. I love you Doody, I'll never forget you. Love, Doody "
