What does it take for Eminem to be "Relevant"?

[Arrinef]

Its all his fault, i mean i wouldn't really care if he got the same hype as before, but like i've said before, he needs to stop putting shitty music, most people who listen to more hip-pop other then him here know that Eminem has fallen off big time, not only commercial wise but musically wise.

I think that every single post of yours is filled with Eminem hatred. What are you still doing here anyways?

I was thinking the same thing....

[InMy64]

to be relevant he must

-dress up in weird outfits and make out with a bunch of random guys and girls in his videos (lady gaga)
-get tattoos all over his face (lil wayne)
-update his twitter every 5 minutes (every celebrity out there)
-become a 19 year old girl who sings country pop music (taylor swift)
-and last but not least, become a vampire (twilight)

if he does all those things he will be the most relevant person out there

^Yesterday I way listenin to couple of Asher songs. The guy has the most boring delivery, zero ability to even write few decent multies, horrible flow and his lyrics aint nuthin special. Why tha fuck is that guy even popular?

[Brandon S]

eminems album has sold like 1.5 million records this year, em IS relevant

Drugs..

Eminem- Made him paranoid and angry, made him rant and want to vent, made his most powerfull shit. Also they made him beat people up and get assualt charges, which got him in the media, and gave him more material to rip it up. Drugs never necessarily helped him with his rhymes, just helped find him topics to talk about.

Beatles- Made songs about Yellow Submarines and shit, people called them inspired and creative. But go to any group of high motherfuckers and see if they can't come up with better with the same sex appeal and promotional boost. Also they gave birth to the embarrassment that was John Lennon as a solo artist, who came up with nothing but contradicting tripe until he got shot. Yeah John, imagine there's no possessions, while you're in your million pound mansion fanning yourself with a wad of cash next to the pool.. Dickhead.

Sorry, rant over


john lennon as a solo artist made some of the best music of all time.


I know that John Lennon had this image of being an inspirational artist and was obviously loved so much from the Beatles, but his solo stuff was subpar and he was/is overrated as fuck. As well as being the biggest hypicrite for a preacher there is likely to be.

Bob Dylan for the fuckin' win >>>>>>>>


hypocritical lyrics aside... Imagine... Jealous Guy... Woman... Stand By Me... War is Over... Mother... these songs are sub-par to you? then wtf is par?

ok sorry I had to get in on this....The Beatles were immaculate as well as Lennon's solo material --and on the other side of the spectrum you have George Harrison and holymoly Paul McCartney ...and yes his latest 2008 release is insane ...Electric Arguments...he supposedly wrote and played everything on this cd in one day....thas no bs look it up...he is a vessel of Music....and as for Dylan...he also too is a vital organ in Music...I agree..Blood on The Tracks is one of the GREATEST ALBUMS EVER< in my top 5 forreal....its one of those albums you take to a island with ya if its gonna be the only one you have.....any way yeah im finished ...I jus had to add my two pennies...grab my shit list and add some new enemies ...lol

I don't think its hatred kid, i think its more of a reality issue that you guys can't admit. Like I've said on my previous post i don't care if Eminem gains his popularity back why? because i don't care about how popular an artist is, as long as his putting quality music, which i think Eminem has failed to this past several years, i bet you if Eminem decided not to do concerts, all that publicity stuff you stans wouldn't even show up to this website anymore. Musically, Eminem hasn't shown that he can make songs like he did before, if Eminem doesn't come through with Relapse 2, then his gonna fall back on the "Legend" status.

Nobody was talking about Em like that when he first came out either. It wasn't til MMLP when EVERYBODY started talking about him. And quit talking sales. Cudi did damn near the same number, 50 did also. Numbers don't mean shit these days. Don't play yourself. Being relevant has nothing to do with selling records. How many records has Drake sold? How many records did 50 sell? GTFOH with that shit. Look up the definition of relevant.

lol @ nobody talked about Em when he first came out. MMLP was his peak of controversy but he already started it with SSLP, and My Name Is blew up like a balloon. He also won tons of awards (including critic acclaimed & MTV ) that time. Wtf did Asher do? I don't know anyone who's even checking for him right now, he had a hit with his first single, but his album disappoints and his buzz disappeared ever since Relapse was released. And actually, Drake's EP sold more than 50's album, he's been on radio like 24/7, now that's someone who's relevant. Asher Roth? Please. People barely know about his existence, let alone his music.

[rudeawakening101]

Eminem NOT being relevant is as simple as this:

Because he isn't giving the people what they want.

Drake, Jay-Z, Wayne, and so on are putting out material right now that is appealing to the masses. That's what it comes down to. Now, compare that to the absolute trash that Eminem has put out after a FIVE YEAR absence. Naturally, everybody was pissed off with Relapse -- and rightfully so. Nobody wants to hear Eminem and his Saudi Arabian rapist & serial killer accent. Top that with all of that horrible content, and just everything being so painfully forced...it's obvious why Eminem doesn't receive the love he used to anymore.

R2 is his last shot. He made the biggest decision of his career by changing it's direction. If this album isn't 100% of Eminem pre-Encore, he'll fade into absolute obscurity.

Agreed 100%, RElapse 2 is his last shot.

HAHAHAHAHAH... are you serious?

[RealSickLindley]

Can't talk for everyone, but in the UK, Eminem is hot.

So many people i know that hate rap are bumpin' Relapse.
We Made You and Beautiful are on tv and radio still so much.
And our media is the most vicious in the world, so obviously with the MTV movie awards and whatever with Mariah, they've been playing it up, so British people are well aware of what's been going on.
Another thing i've heard, from all my mates that are girls, is that he looks better now that he's sober.
Apparantly he looked disgusting as a blonde nobhead, but now he looks sexier (according to them)
So surely an improved sex appeal can't hurt his relevance and the interest he brings..

[Alaine]

also, to the OP's question, in order to keep being relevant, artists have to put out HIT records (songs that get massive radio play, topping chart..), I thought that is common knowledge lol
Hence you Em hasn't has a hit in years, songs like Crack a bottle or We Made You only make him lose fans

Well if he actually goes ahead with the X factor job... he might move there for a half a year.

I can't imagine Em leaving Detroit.

I never said nobody talked about Em when he first came out.... . I said nobody talked about him like THAT (referring to the other guys post) meaning nobody was saying he was gonna be the shit and a legend and all that good stuff. People where also talking about Asher. You also didn't understand my argument I think. I was saying 50, Drake and Cudi, haven't done massive numbers and they are relevant.

50 is not relevant (insert facepalm: here)

Relapse wasn't absolute trash. it was a a very good album & reminiscent of the Slim Shady LP. & lmao @ your last overdramatic statement. he won't fade into obscurity if he doesn't go back to his first three albums. it's called evolving & artistic growth.

i want this next album to be unlike any of his other albums & on another level.

If you really think Relapse is comparable to Slim Shady LP then you must be nuts(no offense). Relapse was a garbage filler album, which we didn't need at all after all this years, at least Slim Shady LP had some kind of creativity , Relapse had none, Eminem just sold albums because of his name and that is a fact, i mean Crack a Battle? Wtf when i heard that song i started face palming myself so i wouldn't feel the embarrassment, Lets see what Eminem has in store for us in his next album, if he fails this time you will see allot of people turning on him and rightfully so.
