Eminem Projected To Sell 750,000 First Week With “Recovery”

    Although it’s only been three days since its release, Billboard reports that Eminem’s most recent studio album Recovery is expected to hit the 600,000 mark in sales in its first week. Some experts are even indicating that Recovery may even surpass sales for Em’s 2009 comeback Relapse, which sold 608,000 copies in its debut week.

    If projections prove correct, this will put Em well on track for his sixth consecutive No. 1 debut on Billboard and sixth overall No. 1 album. Only his major label debut The Slim Shady LP did not ascend to the No. 1 spot.

    But with stiff competition from The Roots’ How I Got Over and rock acts like Ozzy Osbourne and Miley Cyrus, will Marshall take the top prize? DX will keep you updated. (June 24)

    UPDATE: Hits’ Daily Double has updated projections, now believing that Recovery will sell more like 750,000 first week units. This would make the Detroit superstar’s release the highest-selling debut Rap album since Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III, released just over two years ago.

    The increase may come courtesy of additional Eminem interviews and performances in the last week, including appearing alongside Jay-Z on David Letterman’s Late Show.

    1. “Rock acts like Miley Cirus”?? This shit made my day! ROFL

      Anyways, Em deserves it. His album was dope!

    2. THAT’S WHAT’S UP…. I’m Glad It DID and DOING VERY WELL Cause RECOVERY IS THE SHIT!!!

    3. I’m glad someone that can actually rap (eminem) actually sells good. Go get that album and grab the new Roots album “How I Got Over”

    4. eminem can always sell, 600k thats in the US, wait till u hear the numbers in Europe. They love him there

      1. WAIT TILL YOU HEAR DRAKES NUMBERS IN CANADA! WAIT TILL YOU HEAR DRAKES NUMBERS IN CANADA!!! R U STUPID!!!!???!!! Seriously, my dude aint bad and I’m not hate’n or jock riding em but for real son. How uneducated are you? Yeah being a canadian i would expect Drakes numbers to be amazing there being he’s their only good artist. LMAO! Your talking about one of the HIGHEST record selling artist around the WORLD. He sold more records than the BEATLES my dude. WTF! are you thinking saying some dumb *hit like that. His numbers will top Drakes numbers by far around the globe so please stop while you’re all still ahead.

      2. Canada is like a 1/10 the size of europe.

        didnt Drake go canadian platinum with 100,000??? not very impressive

      3. yeah, we’d be talking about population stupid fuck…last time I checked mountains and tundras don’t buy albums, people do…

    5. to me this is what drake was suppose to do but he came soft an nigga/me left that shit in the store

      not a em fan but props to him

      1. haha what a fall you are, his a white male man not a boy, what a fucking prick you are.

        Em – Worldwide King of sales.

    6. lmao @ yall actin like his sales blew drake outta the water or something. this is like 150k more if that bc if i remember correctly drake was around 490k??? i cant remember for sure but if so then its not even 150k. come cats be trying real hard to make downplay the success of artists you dont really care for or hate altogether. too bad it doesnt work..

      in the words of drake:

      call me overrated or created or even jaded
      but any way you put it bytch i made YUP!!

      and the album is good…

    7. i have to say this is one of eminems best cds because its him not him on drugs and i love how its got a rock feel to it i respect all artist out there you em i wish i the best of luck

    8. For the Drake groupies that always like to look at album to determine talent…WHAT U GOTTA SAY NOW?!

      1. Whats your point…….Drake is a new artist, 1st ALBUM girl, 1st, again 1st, who you now doing those kind of numbers on there first, Em just droped refill and relapse within a year, so pipe down……….Drake probably has sold milli in Canada alone all that counts….how you love that…chica

      2. whatchu talkin bout milli, isn’t platinum in canada 100,000 units

        Anyways still great for his debut album, even if it was the most hyped act in 5 years

      3. Homie talkin bout 1st album sales…didn’t the Slim Shady LP do like 3 mill in the U.S. alone?

    9. @blactrs78 150k more is actually a HUGE difference. My favorite albums this year (so far) are: Reflection Eternal – RPM, Distant Relatives, and The Roots – HIGO. First week sales for those albums are RPM: 21,000, Distant Relatives: 57,000, and HIGO: 45,000 (projected). These guys can’t even achieve 150k first week (shit, some not even 1/3 of 150,000) let alone SURPASS another album by 150k. Get my point? Anyway…..album sales are a terrible and unsufficient way to measure the quality and greatest of an album. People need to realize that!

      Since this is an Eminem post; I went to Best Buy on monday and there were atleast 150 copies of Recovery left (I saw an overwhelming amount on the shelves). I went back on tuesday to pick up HIGO and I still saw close to the same amount. Once again I went back wednesday and Recovery was SOLD OUT. I was amazed. They ordered 250 more copies. After witnessing that I think this album will sell well over 600,000 first week.

      1. N!gg@, you went to Best Buy on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, because you actually work there. What type of dude do you know that will glance at a shelf of cds and estimate the quantity sitting in front of them? Then on top of that break down the number of copies that are awaiting re-order shipment.

        Ol’ Vince Downey, ‘Employee of the Month’ looking @$$ n!cc@. . . GTFOH!!! LOL!

      2. Nah I don’t work there but it would be better than the job that you don’t have. Thanks for the reply too, bum.

    10. Wait till Drake’s Numbers from Canada Hit the fan…….It Will Stank like 3 day old Gumbo left on the stove…YM

      Guy will kill the num when all said and done

      1. You must be from Canada saying that. And Drake did 100,000 first week in Canada. That’s only like a fart, not 3 day old gumbo. LOL

    11. first off for your drake stans …you talk about this is drakes first album ..actually he had an ep out in the stores before and has had the lime light for a min now so don’t make it seem like wow he just came out and sold a high number …and then start that well watch the sales in canada…wtf ?..when have we ever gave a damn about canada sales ..lol sorry to say but with all the buzz and features drake has been on since day 1and with the first ep his numbers should had been way higher . .just some facts for yall..em’s 2nd album opened at 1.8 first day …last album he was number 1 in 21 countries opening week …so f**k canada …em is also the highest selling artist of the decade …..so ummm drake stans ..get a good whiff cause with drakes style after this album he’ll be done

      1. wow another dumb ass ..did you hear yourself ..50 did a mill in a week …. EM 2nd album did 1.8 mill the first day ……so get off the pc and go sit in a corner ..you need a time out

    12. Lmao drake only gonna be on top for a week I knew it…. Terrance and Phillip is better than that fake ass nigga lmao

    13. This is his best album since ‘Eminem Show’. The funny thing is, ever since Em came out with his new records and talked about how “bad” Relapse and Encore was to him, and how so many ppl agree now, ppl seem to forget. Encore might be his worst album, and even then, it still did 11 million worldwide lol. Damn near same as Get Rich Or Die Trying (50s best selling, and best overall, album). Goes to show that Eminem’s worst album will still sell better than someone’s BEST album. All I see now is people complaining and agreeing that Relapse was terrible, it almost seems as tho ppl forget that Relapse was still the best selling album of the year, and won ‘Best Rap Album’ at the grammys lol. And em still hates on his own shit, goes to show how much of a perfectionist he really is.

    14. 3 W – Interracial Searching.com C -O- M}) Interracial is not a problem there, but a great merit to cherish!
      You are guaranteed to be your r the one of them.

      1. Real rappers? DMX is on crack. Wu Tang- the problem with them is they didn’t strike when the iron was hot. I would have been amped as fuck for Cuban Linx2 in 1997. Problem is he released it in 2009, after making 14 years of sub par music. And Wu Tang forever was a horrible 2nd album after the fire of the first cd. So sorry to burst your bubble but Em is one of the real rappers left. And there aren’t too many.

      2. why would you even mention DMX when it comes to real rappers? his shit was hot to bump, but was he really saying anything?

    15. First of all Drake’s name shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same sentence as Eminem. Monotone ass Mofo from Degrassi LMAO!

    16. I forget how ignorant some fans are today.
      Especially the Drake fans who probably just started listening to music just the other day

    17. There are some serious losers on this site. Drake and Em have already WORKED together. Wayne and Em have WORKED together more than once.

      You people are straight tools. But keep up the good fight while us NORMAL people actually enjoy the music.

    18. I didn’t know that there was any doubt that Eminem was going to outsell Drake. Weird that this became a debate all of a sudden.

    19. I KNOW YALL NOT THE SAME LAME DUMMIES TALKIN ABOUT RELapse WAS THAT SHIT LAST YR WHEN IT WAS JUST AS WACK AS THE NEW ALBUM (RAP ELVIS) PUT OUT THIS YEAR..FUC OUTTA HERE..YALL WILL ALWAYS SAY HIS SHIT HOT..HOLDIN ON TO A DREAM..AND TO THAT DUDE THAT SAID EM IS THE GREATEST EVER..U HAVE NO EARS..JUST CUZ A MAN CAN RAP LOUD ABOUT HOW GOOD HE RAPS DOES NOT MAKE HIM THE BEST..ALBUM FOR ALBUM..HIT FOR HIT..EMINEM FAILS IN EVERY CATEGORY WITH JAY,NAS,BOTH OF BIGS ALBUMS…NOTHIN AGAINST U WHTEBOYS BUT YA THINKIN IS CLOUDY..ITS ALRIGHT TO HAVE PRIDE BUT THESE RATINGS DONT MATCH UP TO WHAT THE HIPHOP COMMUNTY IS LISTENIN TOO..FOR REAL..NOT ON THE INTERNET…600’000 COPIES IN THE SUBURBS DOES NOT MAKE U THE LEADER OF RAP ROYALTY…

      1. But the fact that your favorite rappers (Nas, And Jay) give Eminem his props. Jesus Christ… Give the dude his just dues. Just because YOU don’t like him doesn’t mean that everyone that does is wrong. Maybe the 600,000 people that buy his album can hear just fine… Maybe it’s YOU who needs some ears or whatever lame insult you typed…

      2. hell yeah, my nigga. feminem suckz azz compared to da great jay-z! evry1 dat listenz to feminem iz gay. a lot of faggot azz haterz say feminem destroyed renegade. there scared to say that jay-z! killed him twice on dat song. they can’t handle da truth!

      3. @LIFE ACCORDING’ TO DUTCH

        First, turn the caps off! Second, I’m not sure if you are aware of this but Em was top selling artist of 2000’s. What this means is album for album…hit for hit… he’s been consistent and has sold more records that your favorite top ten artists combined. Not sure what you’re listening to or where you get your info but please have facts before shitting on somebody. And what rap credentials do you even have to be saying anything. Dumb ignorant racists like yourself can keep listening to your soulja boy and stop commenting about Em

      4. @ mandy you spent to much time in english class beating your shit to the blueprint and getting touched my the “bigger boys” when you should have been improving your spelling.

      5. @berds…WHO THA FUC IS TALKING ABOUT SALES..NOT ONE SENTENCE OF MINE REFERS TO ANYBODY’S SELLS..WHEN I SAY HIT FOR HIT..ALBUM FOR ALBUM..IM TALKIN ABOUT QUALITY TRACKS..RHYMES..SUBJECTS..CULTURE SHIT..EMINEM LOSES IN ALL CATEGORIES..NOBODY AND I SAY THIS WITH FULL CONFIDENCE ON THE SOUTHSIDE OF CHICAGO OR WESTSIDE AND PROBABLY THE NORTHSIDE IS RIDIN AROUND TO THIS (BULLSHIT) OR ANY OF THIS MANS LAST 3-4 ALBUMS..AND I FUCKED WIT HIS FIRST 2.5..HE HAS BEEN ON A STEADY DECLINE IN MAKIN GOOD MUSIC SINCE AT LEAST 2003…NOWHERE IN THE HISTORY OF HIPHOP HAS IT BEEN PRECEDENTED THAT A NIG’ WITH NO HITS IN 7 YRS HAS BEEN CALLED THE GREATEST ANYTHING DEALING WITH RAP…HY IS THAT?

      6. @Dutch
        I’m talking about sales\numbers. And when it comes to numbers, and yes numbers are what push the industry and give its artists credence, how many great mc’s or rappers can claim any credibility of success if their numbers aren’t there to back up their claim? And be honest, how many artists do you have in your top ten that sold nothing yet are considered great?? What is even your definition of a “hit”…? Em has had “hits” on every album. Can a “hit” even be a “hit” if only a handful of people on the southside, northside, and westside of Chi bump to their favorite artist while 3/4 everyone else nation wide never heard of that artist. And before you try and debunk Em as being relative in todays music world, access why he’s already sold 600K units in a recession in four days which means somebody likes him and its not just in the burbs. I’m fairly certain its safe to say he just put out a good album. And you’re lying if you say he gets no radio play in your city. Em is good but not the best and never will be so calm down.

      7. Caps-lock does not make your argument any stronger. Instead it makes you look like a fucking retard that just got his hands on a shiny, new keyboard. Also, considering you clearly dislike Eminem so much, why are you even wasting your precious time to comment about him in an article about him. Fucking sad little man.

        On another note, I feel bad for your teachers in high school (if you made it that far) that had to grade any of your work. I got five on you typing this rant between shifts at McDonald’s.

    20. feminem’z album sucked a big dick. he shuld’ve called it recovery from fallin’ flat on my face twice on renegade cuz that’z basicly wut happend. jay-z! destroyed feminem on dat song. feminem wuz just rappin’ a lot of faggot bullshit on both hiz verses. and now he’z still a lost gay boy makin’ songz with lil gayne and flake. i laugh at diz loser.

      1. and yo point in saying this is???lmao u bout as dumb as they come even Nas on the classic diss record ether quotes eminem killed you on your own shit to jay z lmao shut yo dumbass up boy em 1 of the best mcs ever

      2. what you need to do is go back to school and learn how to spell shit, then go back and listen to Recovery again. After that tell me another album this year that can touch it. Eminem murdered Jay-z on Renegade are you serious? Eminem was not rapping about “a lot of faggot bullshit on both hiz verses.” He was just using words that were probably a little over your head. Even Jay says he Em killed him on his own shit. Anytime Eminem has been a feature on a big names track he kills them example. Dead wrong, Renegade, Forever, drop the world. Just name 1 cat out right now that can lyrically touch Em, and if you do ill shut the fuck up.

    21. Recovery off da chain mann bout fuckin time he came back encore and relapse was like well damn..man is to talented to be playin all the damn time 1. cold winds blow 2. almost famous 3. no love 4. cinderella man 5. 25 to life all sick records the icing on tha cake to the album

    22. YES EMINEM will sale more, that’s not exactly shocking news folks.

      Drake did very well for himself, grow up. I like both albums just the same just like I like burgers one day and pizza the next.

    23. Well deserved! this album is classic. even his bonus song are amazing.
      Real talk eveyrbody who haitin on Em is stupid. Your fav rapper listenes to slim

      oH Ya where the fuck is Cashis at????

    24. yo
      someone told me the dumbest nigga on de net is on dis forum. Said to look 4 em or wayne story . Sme handy or smetng

    25. Eminems has sold close to 90 million albums in his career!

      90 million, think about that for a second you Drake loving pussies!

      I heard some faggot named G.P talking about Drakes numbers in Canada, well I don’t know if that moron even knows what platinum in Canada even means because in Canada you get a platinum plaque if you sell 80 thousand albums, yeah you read right, I said just 80 thousand so G.P I would probably shut the fuck up if I were you because you sound like a 13 yr old little bitch ass rap emo with skinny jeans, long hair and rainbow colored shoes.

      Em is on a whole different level than bubblegum ass Drake!!!

      1. Eminem is a legend and drake is still a new comer and if you do your research you will find that eminems debut didn’t do nearly as well in it’s first week as thank me later and the slim shady lp was released at a time when it was easier to sell records

    26. Let’s all support Eminem for giving us another album. Let’s all buy his album as a show of support.

    27. this stupid cracker put detroit on cd cover he aint from there he just a wigger who say he from detroit to make him look bad and he sounds like helium to

      1. make him look bad? not from there? wigger? im readin a hater in my midst, where r u from? do u even know how long 8 mile rd is….? from st clair shores to damn near ann arbor, mi….maybe it is the suburbs of detroit past 8 mile, not the city……BUT STILL DETROIT. every rapper out there rep their hood, whoever it may be.. im from flint, port huron and detroit, lived all my life in all places, does it matter, NO. is he only selling cause he is from detroit..? bet not one album sold solely based on his home in detroit. and he sings about warren, mi also…guess what…warren is the name of the county detroit is in, WARREN COUNTY.. he grew up on the east side of detroit since he was a boy…i know this cause i grew up in harper woods, detroit, mi..on the east side of detroit..fact, knottingham rd, fact..seen him a lot in the city, stupid cracker is a rich son of a bitch entrepreneur with a status u will never reach and always hate. anything else u say is just a fact on that…so…….go on…. were all waiting……

    28. @ DUDE WHO SAID EMINEM KILLS ON EVERY FEATURE..FUC OUTTA HERE..THIS MAN GOT ALMOST NO FEATURES WITH THE REST OF THE INDUSTRY OUTSIDE OF HIS CAMP..EXCEPT FOR ABOUT 4-5..SPANNED OVER A DECADE..JAY GOT A HIT WITH AT LEAST 80%…INCLUDING EVERY DUDE WHO IS CONSIDERED TOP 10 IN THE GAME RIGHT NOW..HE PUT HIS SKILLS UP EVERY CHANCE HE GET..GIVE THAT MAN HS RESPECT AND LOOK AT (RAPELVIS) FOR WHAT HE IS..A WASHED UP DUDE WITH A PAST..GREATEST RAPPER ALIVE..MY ASS..IN THE LAST THREE YRS ALONE..JAY FUCKED WIT NAS,WAYNE,ROSS,TIP,JEEZY,DRAKE,KANYE,LUPE,AND THE LIST GOES ON..ALL BANGERS…IT AINT ME WHO SOUND FOOLISH..U LAME ASS..ALL THE SAME ASS DUMMIES..STOP POSTIN UNDER DUMASS SCREEN NAMES..U ONE MUHFUCKA..BE YO’SELF

      1. i could get on a track wit rick ross, jeezy, drake, freeway, oschino and sparks and mostly every other no name fag jay has done songs with and murder them. did you ever think maybe the reason em never did a song wit those ass lovers is because there ass lovers. o and em doesnt wanna do a song about his car or jewelry…
        its not like hes got bangers wit rakim and kool g rap…
        by the way em has worked wit drake, tip, wayne, kanye and even that faggy myspace kid and murdered all of them. even his verse about airplanes is above and beyond any shitty metaphor jay used to reference his g5.
        80%?
        you think jay has done that many songs? and top 10 by whos standards? and what time period?
        now to get to the album, recovery was obviously scripted by the record label to make sure they make money this time around after his disappointing results from relapse. anyone who knows anything about hip hop loved that album. i dont care what accent he overuses. id rather hear eminem rap in a stupid accent over dre beats about murder rape and drugs rather than hear him singing about how sorry he is for it or singing to hoes. over uninspired radio beats. theres a couple of gems on this album, mainly, cold wind blows, fire, seduction, cinderella man, 25 to life. the rest is mediocre at best. and whats up wit that almost famous song? when it started i thought he snuck a lady gaga track on there. ive been listening to this motherfucker religiously since i was 10. 13 years of my life listening to him and i haveto say this. WHAT THE FUCK

      2. U BEIN 10 WHEN EMINEM CAME OUT IS PROOF OF THE STUPIDITY OF UR RAMBLIN ABOUT NUTHIN..U DONT KNOW SHIT ABOUT RAKIM OR KOOL G RAP..THOSE R WORDS TO U DUMMIE..NOT REAL RAPPERS THAT U GREW UP WITH..LETS TALK ABOUT REAL HISTORY THAT HAPPENED IN UR LIFETIME..AND YES DUMMIE..JAY Z DOES HAVE THAT MANY SONGS..12 ALBUMS WORTH PLUS FEATURES..IF BIGGIE.MARY J BLIGE..KANYE..TIP..ROSS..WAYNE..SIGEL..EVEN YO PRECIOUS (WACK SINCE 03′ EMINEM)..DMX..ALMOST ANY NEW CAT NEED A CO-SIGN..LUPE..AND U AINT MURDERIN SHIT DUMMIE..STOP IT..THIS MAN GOT FEATURES WITH ANYBODY RELEVANT IN THE GAME SINCE THE 90’S WHEN U WAS BEIN BORN..I WAS A TEENAGER..LAME ASS FUCKBOY..U LOSE..AND U STRETCHIN WITH THE JAY SHITTY METAPHORS PROPAGANDA..ITS NOT REAL..ITS A FIGMENT OF UR IMAGINATION..HE HAS SOME OF THE MOST REPEATED METAPHORS AND PHRASES OF ALL-TIME(kanye voice)..BELIEVE THAT BULLSHIT IF U WANT TOO..16 YRS IN THE GAME AND STILL WINNING..SHIT HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE IN THIS GAME..NEVER..NOT ONE OTHER NIGGA WITH THAT RUN…SALUTE AND SHUT THE FUCK UP…AND TOP 10 BY ANY LIST ABOUT HIPHOP EVER CREATED

      3. you know they recorded that shit right? so i can still listen to them even if i wasnt alive. o and i was 10 when i found out about em not started listenin to hip hop. first tape i ever bought, ILLMATIC in 95. keep calling me names your the one who cant read. o and BIGGIE.MARY J BLIGE..KANYE..TIP..ROSS..WAYNE..SIGEL
        these are not the top 10 upper echelon of emcees in the game.
        top 10 ever created? rick ross? not rakim? lol
        your wack and so are your tastes.
        lol i was born in the nineties? you cant count backwards from 97??
        ems been on tracks wit rbx, sticky fingaz, snoop and nate dogg, dre, fif when he was good, banks when he was makin hot shit, mel man, kurupt, jada, xzibit, royce, slaughterhouse, tech n9ne, o and jay has been in the game 3 years longer cuz hes older. wow good point, keep writin in caps so people will think you know what your talkin about…
        do you even listen to hip hop or skim through it? haha…

      4. Maybe Eminem should retire 3 times. Then come back with 3 comeback albums. Maybe THEN he will get the respect that Jay-Z gets from… You. Wait… WHO GIVES A FUCK WHAT YOU THINK!?

      5. The simple fact that these dudes are doing shows together. And are good friends should nullify this entire ridiculious argument. Obviously your favorite rappers like each other, and respect each others ability.

        Besides.. WTF does Jay-Z, Drake, and Lil Wayne get brought up in EVERY Eminem post? Oh.. Because their fans feel they NEED to put them against him. To justify for themselves. Drake, Jay-z, and Lil Wayne DON’T need you to defend them. They do it themselves when they drop albums. Give it up.

      6. Em’s been on songs w/ Jay, Biggie(post death obviously), Snoop, Game, T.I., Wayne, Royce, Pac(also post death), 50 at the top of his game, Redman…I’m sure I’m missing some. Point is he’s been on songs w/ some really fuckin good MC’s.

      7. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

        Dre, Xzibit, Nate Dogg, Obie Trice, Drake, Lil Wayne, and Kanye. And I’m sure he’ll do more in the future…

      8. @killowat
        they may be ass lovers but em will never co-sign on that
        cus he is pussy
        he plays the game well cus he wont go against any rapper good or bad that has a MAJOR black fanbase cus he needs the respect of black folk in order to sell to the white

      9. @killowat
        they may be ass lovers but em will never co-sign on that
        cus he is pussy
        he plays the game well cus he wont go against any rapper good or bad that has a MAJOR black fanbase cus he needs the respect of black folk in order to sell to the white

    29. LIMPING ON ONE FOOT & CRUTCH………………..

      Or whatever your fucking name is chill out little homie, ok dog we get it, you LOVE Jay, maybe even more than Memphis Bleek, matter of fact maybe you are Bleek getting your keyboard warrior on. I wonder who’s on Jays dick more out of you or Beyonce???

      Look Rocboy I can tell that what really really hurts you is that you know deep down that EM rapped circles around your man crush Jay buts it’s ok little dude it’s happened to damn near anyone who’s jumped on a track with an inspired EM so don’t trip homie your life isn’t over, the sky isn’t going to fall on you and trust me you will still be president of Beyonces fan club. Life goes on grasshopper it isn’t the end of the world, you can still throw up your diamond in the air with all the passion you want but there’s 2 things I want you to remember that don’t change; Eminem completely outrhymed the living shit out of your man crush Jay & I know that this one bugs the shit out you too but remember when NaS handed Jay that “L” when he ETHERED the shit out of him & had Jay turn into a stuttering Stanley on the radio on Hot 97 ???

      I’m sure you remember & even if you try to argue your way out of the truth and deny it just know that all you will be doing when you try to refute my painfully truthful comments will all be in vain because those 2 facts are going down in history son!

      E = mc2

      1. You forgot about Jay-Z taking back all of the shit he talked about Nas, and did a track with him. At least when Eminem goes at someone… he doesn’t puss out and do a track with them after he loses. Oh.. Wait.. He never loses.=)

      2. I USUALLY DONT RESPOND TO FAKE SCREEN NAMES BUT FOR U FUCKBOY..IM A DO U THIS JUSTICE…THIS GOES 4 ALL YO OTHER FAKE ALIASES AS WELL..EMINEM DONT LOSE BECAUSE HE HAS NO BATTLES..WITH ANYONE..MARIAH CAREY AND N SYNC R NOBODIES..U CANT NAME A RELEVANT BATTLE?..BECAUSE THEY DONT EIST..NO RAPPER CALLS OUT EMINEM BECAUSE NONE OF THEM REALLY? REGARD HIM AS A THREAT..BECAUSE NOBODY WHERE THERE FROM PLAY HIS RECORDS..REAL TALK..U QUOTE JAY LINES IN YOUR RESPONSE BECAUSE EMINEM HAS NONE THAt fit the DESCRIPTION..(DO U LISTEN TO MUSIC OR JUST SKIM THROUGH IT)..DUMMIE..U LOSE..ITS NOT THAT I GIV A FUC ABOUT JAY THAT MUCH..IM GIVIN CREDIT WHERE IT IS DUE..WHEN I SAY FEATURES WITH 80 PERCENT OF THE INDUSTRY..I MEAN THAT SHIT..EVERY NIGGA OUT WHO IS GETTIN MONEY..SHOW MONEY OR WHATEVER GOT A TRACK WIT JAY..NOT EMINEM..REDMAN IS COOL BUT WHO GIVS A FUC ABOUT XZIBIT AND IF U WAS READIN CORRECTLY..I SAID OUTSIDE OF LABELMATES AND GUNIT..DUMMIE..U SAY POST BIG..I SAY WITH BIG..U SAY MARY AINT AN MC..I NEVER SAID SHE WAS..EMINEM AINT HAD A SHOW IN ABOUT 5 YRS UNTIL RECENTLY..THAT AINT GREATEST RAPPER ALIVE SHIT..THATS I FELL OFF SHIT..AND WHAT IS HE DOIN..SHOWS WIT JAY Z..ITS A PATTERN HERE…”IM HERE TO SAVE U HIPHOP DUMMIES”…COME TO CLASS EARLY..LEAVE LATE..U’LL BE AIGHT

      3. @ DUTCH………..Here we go again man, you know damn well Eminem is the greatest alive….Jay is the 4th most impressive rapper I ever heard behind Eminem, Biggie and Wayne, Im not dissing Jay Im just telling it like it is………get off Jay testicles just for 1 sec please!!!!!!!!!!

    30. Lots of record sales thanks to my track “!”

      Bizarre told Eminem about it back in January 2010

      then Eminem said “iBar is right.”

      Eminem doesn’t want to give me credit because I called him “a douche and a qweef from the fucking poose.”

      Relax Marshy, I was only joking.

      Check out the track that inspired Eminem’s Recovery.

      Go to

      http://www.myspace.com/ibaronline

      and listen to “!”

    31. I’ll say this much, Eminem fans are loyal. I mean Relapse was garbage and sold like hot cakes (probably due to the fact it was his first album in 5 years) and Recovery is actually a good album and again selling like crazy.

      Meanwhile, Reflection Eternal makes a great album, and I’m the only person in my group of friends who bought the album.

      Nas and Daminan Marley make a good album, same as above

      And I just bought the new Roots album and same as above.

      These are the same people who constantly bitch and moan about there being no “real rappers left” yet there is great music right in front of their face and they ignore it.

      I don’t get it. I give up. Do people NOT want to hear concious music from black people? It’s not like its boring. Listen to the production. Even if someone made the argument that they’re preaching its obvious they didn’t listen to the actual album because Roots and RE definantly mixed it up. And Nas and Damian had a specific goal they wanted to achieve with the album.

      I don’t mean to rant but I’m just fustrated with the fans more so then Hip Hop itself

      1. relfection eternals album sucked and nobody fucking likes talib kweli he made one good song and it was get by and nas has been washed up for like 10 years and the roots have to play on a shitty late night comedy show to get paid

      2. Eminem was on drugs and still made Recovery…so fucking what.

        A good album is a good album anyway you look at it. I just wish more people were listening to it instead of bitching.

        I would hope Eminem opens up the better hip hop but I doubt it

      3. @SHITMYGRITS: You obviously don’t know what you’re talking about, so i’m gonna have to ask you to shut the hell up. Thank you

    32. Damn there is nothing I hate more then topics on Eminem…
      oh wait lil Wayne still raps nevermind.

      I like Em but I remember when Encore and Relapse came out on both albums I said they sucked (because they did) and people were ready to lynch my ass for saying that.

      Eminem fans are real sensitve. With other rappers, their diehard fans just call you a hater. Em fans leaves a fuckin speech then call you a hater

    33. since when is a album like relapse a trash album i cant think of one album last year that was better than that album but recovery is better

    34. Never thought I’d see numbers like that again in the music biz…I wanna say its a good thing and hope other artists start putting up better numbers but thats unrealistic

      1. Of course nobody wants to hear what black people have to say. On the Reflection Eternal album Kweli broke down the oil game perfectly with a sick flow, great lyrics to a really nice beat, but no one wants to hear that shit.

        If they’re skin is dark they gotta be coons. To entertain not educate people.

        Em can get sell an album about nothing or an album about something (Relapse & Recovery) because he can get away with it.

        I’m not saying him being white is bad, I’m just calling it like it is. When has a black rapper ever sold without some kind of “street” “hood” or “gangster” gimmick after 95?

      2. @aspade
        at the end of the day white ppl are the majority
        we target that group first in order to make money
        em is somewhat ill but he isnt a threat to the status quo
        white folks love em. and the white hip hop fan over glorify him to be the best which i can vouch that he isnt

    35. so what this nigga is weird
      his wordplay is undeniable but
      fuck his messages are on sumthing
      white boys can be a tad dramatic

    36. ! there is a “web//site” named “blackwhitesingle” for dateing or relationship, black or white singles can go there to find someone sexy or beauty online !!!Interracial dateing or relationship is not a problem there, but a great merit to cherish!You are guaranteed to be your r the one of them

    39. I love how people use eminem as an excuse to bitch and moan about how their favorite underground rapper isn’t selling. Black thought fucks with Em, and so does nas, so what’s the problem? They both acknowledge that eminem is a real MC, he spits just as good as any underground rapper, and found a way to crossover,just like biggie. It’s not because he’s white; that race card shit is getting old, it’s like saying the only reason Biggie sells because he’s dead. If you don’t recognize eminem as at least top-ten by now you’re basically saying that it is impossible for any white rapper to be one of G.O.A.T’s and thus, that makes you a hater.

    40. i wish eminem was black so i can bump his shit all day…but since he is white i dont listen to him..his skin color is wack and i hate him for that..fuck u eminem!!! get a mother fucking tan

    41. stiff competition from the roots, def not selling wise, they albums are good but they not goin plat and they might not get gold for a while if they do get gold at all

    42. Alot of people say em only sales cause he’s white.Well any artist that puts up big numbers is cause of white people. We keep hiphop alive!!

    43. Anybody dat hates on Ems new shit is just a hater!!! Point blank!!! I could pass on a couple of joints but for the most part Recovery is FIRE!!!! and to anybody whose hatin on Em cuz he’s white needs to go back to Africa…and I’m a 27 y/o black man sayin dat!!! You’re no better than those who oppressed our ancestors in the past!!! SMDH

      1. Damn you opinion. How dare you say something bad about Eminem.

        I like Recovery but dude how is someone hating for listening to an album. If its not their style they have all right to voice it. Same as you do for liking it

    44. If em was black he wouldn’t sell as much very true cause we got a black em his name is royce da 59 and no he dosen’t sell as much but he is just as good with the flows and lyrics

      1. Eminem has been a master at keeping himself interesting… He is a natural entertainer and he knows how to make headlines… There was a black Eminem and his name was 2-pac.. and did similar numbers… They are the only 2 rappers who came from the heart, Used multi syllables, freestyled well, wrote great diss records, and remained relevant their whole careers, and showed emotion on most tracks.. Royce has mad word play but sometimes his rhymes out weigh his content..

    45. Im white but i love rap and I love black people! Truth be told your the most entertaining race and most athletic. Life would be real dull with out ya’ll but please stop playing the race card on em he deserves more respect than that. Dont get me wrong I know alot black’s like em but I see more hate than love 4 him. I mean cant we all just get along?

      1. fuck is you on, fuck outta here with that subliminal racist shit. “most entertaining race”? you wont be entertained when my boys and i will stomp your pale bitch ass out.

      2. My bad man I just mean as in comedians an watching ya’ll play sports really didn’t mean to sound racist. You just taking it the wrong way understandable though. It’s really a complimant but take it how you wanna. what i meant to say was most talented

    46. fuck black ppl they dont know what the fuck they gucci mane souja boi asses be talkin bout. they just mad that weezy is a big homo who kisses birdman and has only had one big hit record…c3. eminem in the artist of the decade, sold 1.7 mil first week and mmlp and over 1 mil on eminem show. fuck all haters em doin his thing. niggas just hatin cause they know a white better and what they all dream of doin. Once again whitepower over everything. oh yeah and em the only one to win 3 back to back to back grammy awards for best rap album. aint must more to say here niggas

      1. you sound like a racist cracker just saying and record sales dont mean shit Lupe will be better than his ass in one more album. If you wanna talk elzhi, talib kweli jo budden little brother slum village andre 3000 and many more are way better than em but you probably dont know nothing bout that because they black. Fuck BET what they know about rap they are way from anything black people everywhere can be proud of.

        PLEASE NO LITTLE CHILDISH COMMENTS.

      2. you sound like a racist cracker just saying and record sales dont mean shit Lupe will be better than his ass in one more album.

    47. Carter 3………………1 million….

      1000000 > 750000

      so

      lil wayne! > feminem

      lil wayne! is da greatest of all da time fuck haters

      1. ur fhukn dumb…wayne da greatest of all time?? get da fhuk outta here. em has nothin to prove mmLP sold more than the whack ass carter III anyway. em owns this whole decade nobody topping him that includes wayne, jigga, gay drake, all dem bums

      2. marshal mathers lp sold 1790000,the first week, the eminem show sold1300000 the first week the the carter3 sold 1000000the fist week and rebirth 175000

      3. @Hippy and BEANTWN

        Wow you compared Em’s old shit to Wayne’s New shit? Bravo.. Not really

        I think HANDYYYYYYY be riding the dick a lil too much, but yeah if were talking bout sells Wayne outsells Em if you wanna compare old shit, which is retarded… Besides Who gives a shit? Recovery is and was over hyped period. Dont think it’s one of his best, yall make it more than what it is.. and Most of those sells are Stans that buy his Album like 5 times and shit maybe more.

        Recovery 6.5 outa 10.. Alot of peepz have said they had to listen to Recovery more than ONCE jus to like it.. Nuff said.

      4. Piff.. I think you’re missing the point. ONE of Eminems albums outsold TWO of Lil Waynes. Let’s face it.. The only reason The Carter 3 sold is because of Lollipop and that stupid Ms. Officer song. THE GIRLS bought that shit. I really don’t get why people are comparing these two in the first place. Apple and oranges. Eminem = Talented lyricist. Lil Wayne = Gimmick rapper with some talent.

        Stop the comparisons. Quit following this trolls comments with the same shit all the time. He’s LOOKING for that attention.

      5. HA! wayne > eminem

        em went platinum first week “TWICE” before wayne was even relevant in the game.

        only hip-hop artist to ever do that.
        wayne is not on the legendary level that em is on right now.
        he was meant for hip hop and is the only true MC we got left

      6. Lol you sound so dumb . i believe eminem was rapper of the decade sold 80million records in his career and sold 20million records with eminem show . has carter 3 reached that ? has wayne record sells get even close to 40milion ? no nigga !!!!

      7. Lol you sound so dumb . i believe eminem was rapper of the decade sold 80million records in his career and sold 20million records with eminem show . has carter 3 reached that ? has wayne record sells get even close to 40milion ? no nigga !!!!

      8. Yeah cause record sales really justify an argument this big. Record sales don’t reflect talent as much as everyone wants them too. Just popularity. C’mon Relapse and Encore are both platinum. Hammer and Ice are like diamond lol.

      9. If you are seriously gonna compare record sales dont do it if you are trying to argue wayne outselling Eminem.. They have both been around for 12 years.. They have came out with almost the same amount of albums..

        LIL WAYNE-15,000,000 total records sold
        EMINEM- 85,000,000 total records sold

        lil wayne was the hottest rapper of 2008 PERIOD… That can’t be denied.. But at least be honest with yourself he was at peak popularity back then.. He is still pretty good but he is no longer the man on top of the game.. His buzz is nowhere near what it was then.. It happens to every artist at some point… I look for him to sell 450k first week on Carter 4 and 1,000,000 in 1 year…

      10. How can niggas be comparing? All yall niggas that replied to this is a dumb bitch.

        Em fans are a fuckin trip and are the Hardest DickRiders to breathe air. There could be a post on Em’s life and some how the Stans comes out of yall and yall bring Drake, Wayne, Jay-z, Nas ???PAC??? are yall serious niguhs? Its funny cause Em basically kisses the toilet Pac use to shit on.. Come on now son.. How hard can a nigga ride Em’s dick? Well Stan’s know wassup. Lil bitches. Go join Em’s fan club and leave the comparing bs over there weird ass niguhs.

    48. ! there is a// “web//site” named “blackwhitesingle” for dateing or relationship, black or white singles can go there to find someone sexy or beauty online !!!Interracial dateing or relationship is not a problem there, but a great merit to cherish!You are guaranteed to be your r the one of them

    49. Man how is all these niggas hatin on em bra. Em did his thing man niggas sound so stupid. Em would have sold if he was black or white fact of the matter is he came out talking outrageous shit thats why he first got famous. Ann the fuck niggas gettin on here talkin ab “oh eminem dont got substance man but Raekwon the Chef he got hella substance. My top 3 is Jay, Wu, and Lil Wayne.” U fuckin kiddin me? Please tell me what great subjects Jay Z the Wu and Lil Wayne has talked about. Jay Z = nice flow I fuck wit him but c’mon yall.. All the songs he makes is about how rich he is, the broads he gets n shit. The American Dream sold to the poor who eat it up. He got some songs with something other than Money, Drugs, and how big of a pimp he is, but maybe 2-3 songs an album are about that while the rest of it is “Im big pimpin blah blah”. The Wu-tang tries to act dumb hard 24/7. The Wu shouldn even be in consideration in a top list.. All Raekwon talks about is how he kills niggas and sells drugs. Thats substance? Nigga probly aint killed a damn person. Its all lies and plu why do niggas wanna listen to that shit? Damn near no one actually runs around doin that shit and plus why we encouragin the same shit thats considered a tragedy in our streets. Plus, how i know the wu is ass for this, how u gona sit there and take dumb offense to Joe Budden sayin he better than u Method Man an then not get on wax and respond. U take it as shots fired, then u let Inspectah Deck come at him on wax and try to get him jumped? thats some gay shit man. Deck would have gotten fuckin murdered if Joey would have responded to that. And guess what, if someone says they better than u in basketball and u have them jumped, guess what, they still better than u in basketball. Until u hit the court and prove it u a bitch in my book. “No one is any side of Chi is bumpin this” U fuckin kiddin me? man yall sound hella dumb. Niggas across the country are bumpin this. This album would have probably sold 3 mill first week if there wasn’t internet sharing. Em keep doin ya thing boy this the same shit he talkn ab in 25 to life. HIp Hop is for evryone dumm fucks u dont hear white ppl runnin around like ‘he aint the best stock broker on wall street cuz he black’. Please. Im a black man and its embarassin for me to see niggas talkin ab eminem aint the best cuz he not black and then gettin mad cuz ppl arent buyin black dudes who put out good musik. The reason people aint buyin it is cuz black ppl as a majority wana hear dumb shit on a track think of demographics son. Be smart dont be dumb u jus sound ignorant. Be happy someone who talks ab shit that people actually go thru and shit in real life is making it on the big stage as opposed to niggas who promote violence, drug use/sale, prostitution, bisexualism, polygamy, and sellin shit that ppl will never get.

      1. I agree in part with this comment but there are plenty of Jay songs with substance equal to em….Meet The Parents, Some How Some Way, Never Change, Regrets, and the list def. goes on but Em is Def Top 5 Dead or alive. End of discussion for those saying wayne is in top 5, Kill yourself, he is nowhere near the level of greats such as nas, jay, em, Pac, Jada, Cube, Mos def, so come on now wayne is hot, but he talks bullshit half of the time about I suck a pussy fuck a pussy type shyt.

    50. Unless Nick Cannon plans on doing a drive-by outside Em’s house, he could keep making music for years to come. Regardless of skin color, this dude clearly has it all. He may not go down as the G.O.A.T, but aside from maybe Jay Z, nobody will. Even if someone compared him to say Rakim, sales don’t lie. That doesn’t mean if you don’t sell a 100 million records your career is shit. But it means you didn’t have enough talent to get to the levels Eminem has. If you sell 2 million records in the span of your career, and someone else sells 20, better believe that 2 million don’t mean shit. It’s old money already spent.

    51. niggaz can bitch all the wont but at the end of the day em is the best rapper alive next to nas all yall sayin wayne is is full of shit and most likely under 17ryrs old recovery is a dope album better than carter 3 and drake thank e later and ima 22yr old black man stop using the race card its getting old yall ace like white people didnt buy wayne are drake albums either getover it and grow up.

      1. em and nas need to do a song together but unfourtantely it would turn into who got the better verse but it would be worth it!!

    52. If anybody is gonna write a comment about Lil’ Shame is ” better ” than Eminem, better than Joe Budden, better than Jay, then please do these 3 things:
      Take off your clothes, slit your wrists and commit a suicide.

      Please.

      You must be a fucking 12-16 years old dumbfuck to say that kind of shit.
      I could bet my life on that, for real.

      Are you stupid or what? Really? Little Wayne?
      GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE, PLEASE!

    53. Heard there was alot hate on this site but damnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep doing your thing em love the new album

      1. co-sign… and i also listen to weezy

        weezy is talented, fuck the haters

        but em is tha baste

      2. Lol, I never thought I’d hear weezy fans say that. LOL its nice you guys admit that though. But you talk as if wayne even comes close to Eminem…nope. You can compare wayne to T.I. thats a better comparison

    54. why the fuck are they trying to predict sales? thats just stupid becuase they have no idea how many people are going to buy it after the first couple days, “word of mouth” comes into play and everything

      anways, ems debuting 750k the first week in a world where currently in 2010 99% of artists won’t get that for their albums TOTAL

      thats just… fucking insane really…

      if this was released say even two years ago, he would’ve sold well over a million first week out

      1. They usaully are pretty accurate. They were almost dead on with Drakes 1st week sales, and tey predicted lil wayne would sell over a mill within the first few days too.

    55. Eminem is the shit, but im not feeling none of his songs on this album. congrats i guess thou, but i havent been a fan since encore, and that only have a few good songs. em not mad nomore, nolonger has much pf a story to tell. ah wells

      1. Are you fuckin stupid PhillyGirl? Ill answer that for you. Yes. Recovery is on fire! He has angry songs, and songs with feeling and emotion (which I thought girls are suppose to like). There’s no way you LISTENED to the album, or else you wouldnt have posted that comment. Stop looking for lyric-less music with E40 beats to shake your ass to. Dumb ho!

      2. Something tells me this Dumbhos dude hasn’t had any female contact for a good few years and is feeling a little bitter over it. I love Recovery, but everyone’s entitled to their opinion. Except you of course, your rights have now been revoked.

    56. Why do people always bring up Lil Waynes Carter 3 did a mllion thing?

      Remember em did 1.7 million in 7 days with Marshall Mathers LP!!!

      What did Wayne do on his second or third album?

      “Fuck your jewelry my records almost DIAMOND bitch!”

      1. If You Actually Read What The Article Said Instead Of Dick Ridin Em You Will See That It Says “This would make the Detroit superstar’s release the highest-selling debut Rap album SINCE Lil’ Wayne’s Tha Carter III” Meaning No Hip-Hop Album Has Sold That Much First Week Since He Released It, Damn American Education

    57. No Way Is A White Boy The Best At Somethin Black Folk Started Yall Niggas Brainwashed Lupe Is Way Fuckin Better Than Em Idgaf What Nobody Say Em Is NIce Indeed But Yall Just DickRide Too Much

      1. they both nice but em’s wordplay is undeniable. not sayin the white boy the best ever but you gotta put him top 5 dead or alive

      2. I agree, Em’s stans are annoying, but there is no way Lupe has even a tenth of the talent Em does.

      3. DUB_ES must not listen to too much Lupe then…..Em might have better rhyme schemes, but Lupe’s wordplay is MUCH better than Em’s….and this is comin from a dude who was a huge Em fan back in the day….but with that said they are both 2 of the best to ever do it….

      4. Your retarded and a dumbass Marlow your ignorance just shows that you cant be a true a rap fan. I have no problem with you saying Lupe is better than em because everyone has their own opinion but to say he can be the best at something because black people invented it is the most ignorant thing I’ve ever heard. By your logic that means that Michael Jordan cant be the best basketball player ever because basketball was started by WHITE PEOPLE. Get the fuck out of here you retard

      5. is that the title of a book or something? why is every word capitalized? and… yes way… eminem is FARRRRRR better than anyone else out there. in fact, he must be in consideration for the best to ever do it. you can’t deny real talent. there is nobody out that can hold a candle to marshall.

        -A FUCKIN’ WHITE BOY

        p.s.

        racist dickhead

    58. Em’s album was okay….. But my taste in music has changed over the years. And I’m sorry for the hip hop heads who love Em’s raw style…. but he’s never been an artist that I liked that much. Don’t get me wrong I fully belive that Em is one of the greatest to do it liryicly but for me liyics aren’t what make me love a song anymore. Some of you may take that as a singh that the mainstream has waterded down my taste in good music….. but that’s not it. Actualy I haven’t listend to the radio in years so that’s not the problem. It’s just that(and I’m saying this knowing the hate I’m about to get) some of the verses on Recovery were epic! The problem for me was that the songs were to damn long. My attention span for listening is not that long and if a song gose for to long I lose interest. And that’s why I just can’t get into Rec that much. Like take for example Cindarella man that song bangs but….. Em’s rapping is to fucking long every time I think he’s done he just keeps going and going and going. Till finaly the bridge comes in and then the hook and by then the joints already clocked in at 2min. Now some of you might read this and go “oh god another homo faggit who listens to drake” but that’s just my prefered style. So how about this give me Eminems lriycs, the singing of R. Kelly, the beats of Kanye, the origanlty of Diggy-MO’ he/she can speak multipule languages like NYCCA. And they don’t give a fuck about what everyone says about there music they just make what’s on there heart. In a song that’s exactly 3min… Now that would be my kind of music:)

    59. Strong competition from The Roots? Their album is certainly better, but how in the fuck are they supposed to move more units?

      And Lupe vs. Eminem, I give it to Marshall for the work he did before Encore, but Lupe is progressing like the hungry beast he is. I give it one album’s time before he is officially better (just waiting for that Lazers joint to drop).

    60. What happend to the Premo and Alchemist ish Em was supposed to be droppin’? It’d be cool if Em hooked up with DJ Spinna again, as well. On a different note, does anyone know why Necro’s “Die!” isn’t available for download?

    61. Haters keep hating, Em keeps winning, And life goes on, pretty much how it always has been……..I love how the new way to discredit Em is to say “Oh, he use to be good but he fell off and went pop now”………People hated on those old albums, SSLP/MMLP, just as much when they came out as they hating on this one now, and they been calling him a pop sellout online since the day My name is hit MTV, and anybody whose had internet since them days knows I aint lying……

      750K in the first week is nuts though, I called it at 450K, and even then I thought i was reaching because of the backlash and negative response to Relapse, but the album came out much better this time so I guess he won a few of his fans back

    62. WHO CARE’S INTERSCOPE BROUGHT ALL HIS RECORDS ANYWAY IF U THK IM BULLSH!TTIN CHEC HIS SECOND WK SALES HE WONT EVEN SELL 250K!! THEY BROUGHT THE ALBUM 2OUTSELL DRAKE!!!! IF WOULDNT HAVE BEEN A GOODLOOK IF EM GOT OUTSOLD BY A NEW ARTIST SO THEY MADE SURE IT DIDNT HAPPEN!!!!! #POW

      1. it’s “bought” asshole, learn how to spell.

        p.s. you don’t know what the fuck you are talking about. drake is a fake ass industry made rapper/r&b/pop singer. he should go back to doing soap operas, now thats gangsta, lol. how many rappers you know that have done soap operas. thats right none.

    63. i feel like the people that comment on here know nothing about hip hop..fans wont let eminem rap about killing people, rape, or any of his other stuff and he is not aloud to do his voice, which was the shit. everyone is to picky and doesnt know a damn thing bout rap

    64. Eminem is the oneof the smartest artists of our time. He knows how to sell his music. Changing it slightly to what his fans said they wanted to hear, and to what was more current in his life. His new CD also shows how widespread of an artist he is. While other artists like Jeezy can only have one sound. Lyrically he has rapped everyway possible. Positive lyrics. Stories (murder she wrote). Funny songs. Club shit. Talent wise, I dont think anyone can fuck with him. However nobody can ever determine who the greatest is, cuz its just a matter of opinion giving in consideration their own music taste. Em also never has an legal issues with his music & nobody ever can claim to be a ghostwriter for him. His performance with Jay Z on lettermen was also a great idea to be scheduled mid-first week of his album dropping.

      1. Thank you. I mean his old style that he used in his first 3 albums can only be used for so long. It was definetly a little better than this but eventually u will run out of ways to keep it going. Just cuz this album is different dont mean its bad. Cold wind blows might be a stupid song, in my opinion, but overall this album is great. His song with Rhianna will be up for a grammy. His killed that song with wayne too.

        “Look at these rappers, how I treat them
        So why the f-ck would I join them when I beat them
        They call me a freak because
        I like to spit on these p-ssies fore I eat them
        Man, get these whack cocksuckers off stage
        Where the f-ck is Kanye when you need him?”

        shit is crazy

    65. since er’body wanna take lil waynes best album (the carter III), i guess we’ll take em’s best album (mmlp)
      carter 3 – 1.3 million 1st week
      mmlp – 1.76 million 1st week

      …juss sayin

      1. Wow comparing a dude that came from an upper class background and used his rep as an actor to get into the game to a guy that grew up in a trailer trash environment in the worst part of Detroit having to actually work to get into the game,having a hard time due to him being white and then to say that the former is better than the latter?You ought to be whacked upside the head with a metal bat just for saying that and then killed with the bat just for thinking about saying that!

    66. Black/White. All of these years and we still wind up talking about race and who’s more deserving because of their race. I’m a man. I can admit who’s best in my opinion.That is my right, freedom of speech. Why can’t we all have our opinion printed on the quality of an artist rather than if one is better than another and how many records are sold. I buy Em sometime, I buy Nas sometime. I buy whatever I want that appeals to my senses at that particular moment. I was interested in reading comments until it all became a cat fight over something so inconsequential.
      Who sells more records. Who’s better. Are any of these artists putting any food on your table? If not, grow up folks!

    67. idk why people are comparing eminem to drake or lupe. let me be the first one to tell you that none of them compare.

      as for the album it’s a great album if you want to listen to lyrics and like metaphorical meanings in songs if you like listening to beats and club music this album is not for you and if you liked Relapse you’ll most likely not like this album.
      people got to understand that Em is a grown man now he can’t make fun of pop stars for forever.

      and if you think Em has let his fans down listen to Not Afraid and try to comprehend what type of a man it takes to make a song like that. That song alone truly captures how much his true fans mean to him.

    68. Like Jay-Z said.

      ” You want my old stuff? Buy my old album. ”

      If you don’t like Relapse ’cause it’s whack, well… In few years you will change your mind and it’ll go Illmatic.
      When the Marshall Mathers LP came out it sold 1.7 millions copies in its first week but even though people still kept hating on him.
      It took so many years for Illmatic to go platinium.

      Recovery is dope. I like the samples and featurings–pretty nice.
      But there could’ve been more production of Dre.
      Like if you compare ” You’re Never Over ” with ” So Bad ”, you will notice that So Bad’s beat is way better than Never Over’s. Why?
      Because it’s a beat by Dr.Dre.
      Can’t wait for Em’s new album!!

      Anyways, thanks for paying attention on this and have a nice week.
      Peace!

    69. i don’t care how many copiez diz shitty album iz gonna sell. it’z still gay music made by da 1 and only feminem. i mean diz homo iz tourin’ with jay-z! right now (who’z killin’ feminem on every set) tryin’ 2 earn hiz straight badge, but then makez a song with lil gayne. i ain’t fallin 4 dat shit u gay cockasian.

      recovery from fallin flat on my face twice on renegade will 4 sure be nominated 4 a grammy 4 worst rap album of da year along with gaybirth, gay afiliated, we are cum money, and with suck me later being da winner (dat iz da gayest album of da year). good azz job, cole world and (posibly) jay-z!’z album iz all gonna b tied 4 best rap album cuz there all gonna b classicz. fuck wut u deaf niggaz say.

      jay-z! iz da greatest of all time! FUCK HATERZ AND FUCK ALL FEMINEM DICKRIDAZ! IT’Z MANDDDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY UP IN DIZ BITCH!

      1. did you see the performance??? em killed it, jay forgot the words and stumbled on them like 3 times. em is the best live performer there is in rap he sounds the exact same as he does on record as he does live. also as NAS said eminem killed you on your own shit. also callin him a cockasian…..you racist??? u mad the best rapper is white?? also got beef with whites and asians also??? u need some help buddy.

    70. Damn, u Drake fans really mad and hatin on Em right now. Look actions speak louder thans and Em put out a better album plain and simple. There shouldnt be any comparison because thats not even fair to put Drake in the same category as Em. Recovery jams so fuck u haters.

      1. @JACE

        Sup bitch how you like Em’s dick in your mouth?? Alot?? Good Now Em can finish all in your mouth faggot ass pussy. Close your legs nigga you smell like your dad.

    71. I love Drake, I love Wayne, but Eminem is by far the hottest rapper out there right now. I am so sick of hearing about fucking race! It’s not an issue, Em had it way worse than 90% percent of the rappers who came up. How many whiteboys can get that kind of reaction on a BET awards show? Shiit.

      The new album is unbelievable. Cinderella Man is the type of song Lebron James or Michael Phelps throws on before he contends for a championship. The lyrics are ridiculous and he comes with an aresenal of witty, clever verbage that bitch smacks any and all haters. Once again he also proves why he and Lil Wayne are now the hottest hip hop duo. You an guarantee any track they do together is a hit.

      Fuck all the haters out there! My favorite president is black and my favorite rappers is white, that’s the way of the world now!

    72. Man how is all these niggas hatin on em bra. Em did his thing man niggas sound so stupid. Em would have sold if he was black or white fact of the matter is he came out talking outrageous shit thats why he first got famous. Ann the fuck niggas gettin on here talkin ab “oh eminem dont got substance man but Raekwon the Chef he got hella substance. My top 3 is Jay, Wu, and Lil Wayne.” U fuckin kiddin me? Please tell me what great subjects Jay Z the Wu and Lil Wayne has talked about. Jay Z = nice flow I fuck wit him but c’mon yall.. All the songs he makes is about how rich he is, the broads he gets n shit. The American Dream sold to the poor who eat it up. He got some songs with something other than Money, Drugs, and how big of a pimp he is, but maybe 2-3 songs an album are about that while the rest of it is “Im big pimpin blah blah”. The Wu-tang tries to act dumb hard 24/7. The Wu shouldn even be in consideration in a top list.. All Raekwon talks about is how he kills niggas and sells drugs. Thats substance? Nigga probly aint killed a damn person. Its all lies and plu why do niggas wanna listen to that shit? Damn near no one actually runs around doin that shit and plus why we encouragin the same shit thats considered a tragedy in our streets. Plus, how i know the wu is ass for this, how u gona sit there and take dumb offense to Joe Budden sayin he better than u Method Man an then not get on wax and respond. U take it as shots fired, then u let Inspectah Deck come at him on wax and try to get him jumped? thats some gay shit man. Deck would have gotten fuckin murdered if Joey would have responded to that. And guess what, if someone says they better than u in basketball and u have them jumped, guess what, they still better than u in basketball. Until u hit the court and prove it u a bitch in my book. “No one is any side of Chi is bumpin this” U fuckin kiddin me? man yall sound hella dumb. Niggas across the country are bumpin this. This album would have probably sold 3 mill first week if there wasn’t internet sharing. Em keep doin ya thing boy this the same shit he talkn ab in 25 to life. HIp Hop is for evryone dumm fucks u dont hear white ppl runnin around like ‘he aint the best stock broker on wall street cuz he black’. Please. Im a black man and its embarassin for me to see niggas talkin ab eminem aint the best cuz he not black and then gettin mad cuz ppl arent buyin black dudes who put out good musik. The reason people aint buyin it is cuz black ppl as a majority wana hear dumb shit on a track think of demographics son. Be smart dont be dumb u jus sound ignorant. Be happy someone who talks ab shit that people actually go thru and shit in real life is making it on the big stage as opposed to niggas who promote violence, drug use/sale, prostitution, bisexualism, polygamy, and sellin shit that ppl will never get.

      EMINEM IS THE GREATEST RAPPER EVER. period. and if recovery came out like in 2000-2005, it would sell at least 3 million copies in the first 10 days. so stfu.

    73. its only obvious that eminem will outsell the fuck out of that jew bag drake. pop music backed by dirty jews with their greedy hands aint gonna sell shit as something that was made from scratch like eminem did (eminem established his fan base from ground up, with his skills, unlike drake who made his fanbase but having every hype, buzz, promo, and marketing possible for this piece of shit jew)

      fuck these jews, let them burn ~

      1. Fuckin dirty Nazi lol. How angry do niggas actually get wit niggas they dont know?? Jus ask dis niguh CRAPO. Haha priceless son.

    74. How can niggas be comparing? All yall niggas that replied to this is a dumb bitch.

      Em fans are a fuckin trip and are the Hardest DickRiders to breathe air. There could be a post on Em’s life and some how the Stans comes out of yall and yall bring Drake, Wayne, Jay-z, Nas ???PAC??? are yall serious niguhs? Its funny cause Em basically kisses the toilet Pac use to shit on.. Come on now son.. How hard can a nigga ride Em’s dick? Well Stan’s know wassup. Lil bitches. Go join Em’s fan club and leave the comparing bs over there weird ass niguhs..

      1. hate,hate,hate,hate,hate, and more hate. I can tell u are a wayne and Drake fan. Real recognize real and em spits that real shit. Why is it that whenever someone makes a comment co-signing em or having appreciation and praise for his work a nigga like you has to call that fan a dick rider. On question bitch who compared em to pac, eminem is one of the greatest mc’s alive. ALIVE bitch. Pac is the best to ever do it. There is a difference and u should realize dat. Outsidaz for Life kiss my dick hoe im an eminem fan fuck wayne, fuck drake, fuck gucci, fuck waka flocka, fuck solja boy, and fuck you

      GROUPIE.

    77. Yall needa stop arguin jus STOP plz lol.. Em needs to give credit where its due and thank me for ass fucking him and giving him good Brain while makin this Album ;D.

      He still dont wanna come out the closet. And Hailie to.

    78. Let’s start by clarifying that I’m not one of these “Stans” but a fan of Hip-Hop from the start and I’m riden it till the wheels fall off.
      Ok, I’m a white dude that dates black and Spanish women and I get knocked by white, black and Spanish dudes and women for doing so and u know why? Because most people are closet racists, This segways into all this “HATE” Em receives. Black and Spanish people don’t like the fact that EM is raw at spitting and he’s white (much like when blacks first came into professional sports and started killin shit and whites didn’t like it, which should have NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING!), just like they don’t like how I hump they honey’s and I’m white, this in turn makes them racists, PERIOD, it hurts they feelings for some reason. The white folk that hate on EM are just kicking their own people, much like black and Spanish folk do to each other as well. Sorry I’m not politically correct and this might offend most of you if not all; well at least those of you who are uneducated and can’t see past the B/S you’re feed everyday.

      You’re right, sales don’t matter, Pac and BIG made huge sales and their forever GREATS. But since sales don’t matter, they don’t matter. Being VERY sarcastic here.

      Em did as much for Hip Hop as Pac and Biggie have done, BUUUUUT KRS-One, Africa Bambata, Cool Moe D, Kool Keith, Run-DMC, Beastie Boys and others did more than Pac, Big or EM combined. If it wasn’t for them there would be no rappers! Like I always say, foolish youngins, need some act right and I’m only 26 saying that, it’s said… “Show respect to the ones who did it first or that big Mercedes Benz won’t get driven” styles – P

      You mad that Em spits about his life and what he goes through!? Ok I guess you can’t like any nasty respectable emcee through out hip hop history then, so kick rocks sucka, hip hop don’t want you here.

      EM’s white and nobody likes it! Actually Em’s a human being with an amazing talent, just look at it that way and you’ll get past your racism. CLOWNS.

      I seen Lupe, Common and others have been mentioned of whom I’m a HUGE fan of but let’s be honest, EM would tear they face off in the booth and in a battle (this was proven in the cipher session on BET with Mos and Black thought), seriously, get your head checked, you might have a tumor.

      I also noticed that somebody said EM only has a few hits, you been living on Jupiter? Or maybe in another galaxy? Possibly still in your mothers vagina? Rock Bottom, Just don’t give a fuck, still don’t give a fuck, lose yourself, I Am, Infinite, Guilty Conscience, Criminal, Till I Collapse, Forgot about Dre, Brain Damage, If I Had, As the world Turns, Bad Meets Evil, Role Model, Amityville, Almost Famous, 25 to Life and on and on and on. Oh yeah not to mention ANY FEATURE HE’S EVER BEEN ON HE MURDERED THE HOST RAPPER, plus all those diss records to Murder Inc and benzino. foolish youngins, y’all need some act right.

      My point is this, if an emcee, producer or whoever it may be has an incredible talent, is true to there selves and their ability and shows loyalty, honesty and respect to the game and the fans, like the Beatles would say, “let it be.” Fuck you and all you chump ass sissy’s pulling that race card, it’s 2010.

      One more thing before I bounce with my superior intellect and understanding
      “So you can suck my dick if you don’t like my shit,
      cause i was high when i wrote this so suck my dick.
      Cause i don’t give a fuck if you don’t like my shit,
      cause i was high when i wrote this so suck my dick”

      That’s My Word
      Science-

      1. Woooo Rick Flair style….I like this a column where Jayz isn’t (dissed My Favorite). I actually agree with u. But the problem isn’t where you think it is. I don’t believe we blacks hate EM or doubt his skills!!!!!! The true problem is that his record sales are pumped by white for numerous reason that equates to poverty more than race. Whites push their agendas with something that the minorities are just starting get. Money. Most whites don’t purchase bootlegs. They buy authentic merchandise. I remember the expensive hockey jersey some of my white homies would buy. I understood hockey but couldn’t afford them. Now it not yours, or Em fault. But Em music isn’t always great to MINORITIES. We don’t diss our mothers in public. Shit we don’t usually curse in our parents homes (blacks anyway) so yes Science some of Em work don’t work for Minorities. If you watch Jay he evolved with his money allowing you guys to enjoy some of his music too. Because if your not from the burbs you wont understand when one speaks about things from there. You wont understand. Same with the Hood. Now Em new albums is different : Not afraid is great song with true feelings and emotions. Not Em being a ass the whole album through. I’m happy it seem he maturing. I’m sorry that you guy have this stupid racially shit going on. But Em will always sell more records than a Black or Hispanic rapper , White peoples money longer. Just ask Sarah Palin and that stupid ass Tea party movement. it is what is. That why we are a Minority!!!!!!!!!!! MINORITIES STOP ARGUING SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN’T WIN. NOW WHO IS MORE IMPORTANT IN HIP HOP IS THE QUESTION THAT SHOULD BE ASK.THAT HAPPENS TO BE JAY Z!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO ONE CAN TAKE THAT AWAY!!!!!!!!!!! IT BEEN PROVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SCIENCE WOULD YOU AGREE WITH THAT.

        please IF YOU RESPOND PLEASE RESPOND RESPECTFULLY AS i TO YOU!!!!

      2. Your the dumbest person i have ever heard. Eminem is the hottest rapper right now and he’s white, this is a white man’s world and always will be, what has Obama done for this country? oh yeah

    79. I’ve read most of the comments and truly you think because em is white hes selling to mostly because of the white crowds? hes got every single race buying his cds, hes real and speaks to the primary audience. Em is by far more advance then most of the whack ass rappers out there right now (soulja boy, plyes, hood, etcc…) Hip hop is the essence of poetry and speak around real shit.. no one wants to listen to bling bling, big rims, chains to my balls etc.. that shit aint real its bull shit.. Were are all the real rappers at? there dead or just fell off the map.. Jay-z, luda, T.I., lil wayne, drake, 36 mafia, biggy, tupac, ice cube etc……. thats real shit, eminem is along those lines and you all should be great full that he brings good music to the industry.. I cant even stand watching most of the rap bullshit thats out, its all the fucking same like country.. there is only a good few who can actually rap and can elaborate there thoughts on the Mic. I could make a fucking rap song about big cars n rims.. anyone could with a computer and a mic.. but you cant continually make heart felt rap like em or jayz… quit hating and get a fucking clue….
