Buying his album is showing him respect, it shows that you respect his music and want it in full form (with high quality, booklet.. like you said).
And I'm sure if he sold like 1000 copies of Relapse, we'll never hear of Relapse 2.
thanks to Amadeo for backing me up.
ok, i don't buy his albums, so does that means i do not respect him? no. i started getting into Eminem when i was about 16, and by that time, most of his albums were already out and old news, and Curtain Call had JUST come out. i remember seeing 'When I'm Gone' on the TV, n it hooked me into Eminem. so .. i went on the internet and started researching him, and downloaded his songs, and before i knew it, i had most of his albums downloaded onto my itunes. when relapse was rumoured, i actually said to myself that i'd buy this one, but like everyone else, i got too tempted to resist downloading it when it leaked, and i've never gotten round to buying it. having said all this, i DID say i bought his book 'The Way I Am' so suck on that bitch, i DO 'support' him.
wow calling people who done nothing to you "bitch", you have some low self-esteem here

When Relapse leaked, I downloaded it too, about 2 week before the release. I didn't even think it was "awesome" or even "great", just average, but I still bought it when it came out because well, I already said it, if he sold like 1000 copies of Relapse, we'd never hear of Relapse 2.
And don't you think his CDs worth buying? with high quality music, booklets and stuff.
