Hip Hop Album Sales: Week Ending 11/10/2013

    This week, Eminem enters the charts with a #1 album. Drake remains in the Top 10 overall, Lecrae debuts with a Top 25 release and Tech N9ne debuts in the Top 35. 

    Going into this week, sales projections were made for Eminem’s The Marshall Mathers LP 2. Projections noted that the album was set to likely secure the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart. According to billboard.com, the album was set to possibly sell between 700,000 and 750,000 units in its first week. Today, the chart was released, noting Eminem surpassed sales projections. 

    Eminem’s The Marshall Mathers LP 2 Lands At #1 

    Eminem’s The Marshall Mathers LP 2 sold more than 793,000 copies in its first week. The album debuted at # 1 overall. Recently, Eminem spoke with Rolling Stone about the making of this album. “I feel like right now I’m probably working harder than I’ve ever worked in my life,” Eminem said. “And I’ve probably worked harder on this record than any other record aside from maybe the time period during The Eminem Show, which is a little hazy ’cause just so much shit was going on at that time. Just being so busy with The Eminem Show and doing the 8 Mile movie, and the soundtrack and the score to the movie. This is probably the equivalent of that but all focused on the record mostly.” 

    Outside of opening at #1 with The Marshall Mathers LP 2, Eminem also had other albums make leaps on the chart. The album’s predecessor, 2000’s The Marshall Mathers LP, went from #106 to #30 this week, selling more than 10,000 copies. The project has sold more than 10,766,000 units to date. Eminem’s 2002 album The Eminem Show moved up from #100 to #58, selling just under 7,000 copies this week. That album has moved more than 10,270,000 units to date. Eminem’s 2010 release Recovery also moved up on the charts, jumping from #99 to #64. The album sold more than 6,000 copies this week. It’s sold more than 4,508,000 to date. Eminem’s Curtain Call compilation moved up from #157 to #94 with sales totaling more than 5,000 for the week. To date, Curtain Call has sold more than 3,778,000 copies. Eminem’s 1999 release The Slim Shady LP, which was not on the Top 200 last week, moved into #115 this week, selling more than 4,000 copies. The project has moved more than 5,433,000 units to date. Eminem’s 2004 album, Encore, at #158 this week, sold more than 3,000 copies to move its total up to more than 5,343,000 overall. Eminem’s 2009 project Relapse, #159 this week, sold more than 3,000 copies. Relapse has sold more than 2,335,000 units to date. 

    Drake’s Nothing Was The Same Remains In Top 10

    Drake’s Nothing Was The Same remains in the Top 10 this week, landing at #7. The album sold approximately 37,000 units this week. Last week, Nothing Was The Same reached the platinum sales marker. This week, Drake’s Nothing Was The Same sales totals moved up to 1,066,000 units after seven weeks in stores. Drake released the music video for his “Worst Behavior” selection off the album this week. The video for “Worst Behavior” includes cameos from his father, Dennis Graham, and fellow rappers, including Bun B. Drake is also currently promoting the album on his “Would You Like A Tour?” tour, a run that features Future. 

    Lecrae Breaks Into Top 25 With Church Clothes Vol. 2

    Lecrae broke into the #21 slot in this week’s charts with Church Clothes Vol. 2. Lecrae’s second installment in the Church Clothes series sold more than 15,000 units this week. Although Lecrae had this type of success in sales this week, he was recently asked if it bothered him that many radio stations do not play his music. “I’d definitely be lying if I said it didn’t,” he said in an interview with MySpace. “But I get it. I’m not naïve…My music doesn’t get played on the radio, so I might as well make good, timeless music.” Lecrae also spoke about the album and its features during a recent interview with BET‘s “106 & Park.” “As I have matured as a person, you get to hear the growth of me as an artist,” Lecrae said during the interview. “[I have] a lot more comfortability in my own skin and [I’m] getting to say some of the things that I will uniquely say, but great production, got David Banner and Boi-1da on there. Features from Paul Wall, B.o.B and Kevin Ross, it’s going to be a good situation.”

    Tech N9ne Breaks Into Top 35 With Therapy

    Tech N9ne’s Therapy Sessions With Ross Robinson EP landed at #32 this week. The project features “Public School,” a song that Tech recently spoke with HipHopDX about. “It’s a song that’s bitter about my education back then,”Tech N9ne says during an exclusive interview with HipHopDX. “Now keep in mind that I’m the #1 independent rapper, they say. So I did this with the education I have, business savvy and everything. But I’m just thinking, what would I have been with a bit more information? I could talk to way more people. When I went to France, I couldn’t speak. Motherfuckers had French in school. I didn’t have it. They rather give me an hour and something in gym. I skipped it and fucked. I did, in the hallways, in the little stairwells. I skipped it, every day and fucked. I could have been doing other things, and that’s what ‘Public School’ is about, is me being bitter about some of my teachers, because education is the key to everything, to unlock any door. That’s what I think.”

      1. Quit trying to be a wanna be we already have one dentalmboy on here making an ass of himself when don’t need you.. you fuckn’ clown.

    1. Damn, I thought Suffering from Success would sell more than that. Y’all should checkout thegrandreport, they got some good hip hop and viral videos on there

    2. “Will Drake remain at the top of the Rap charts next week?”

      Yeah, they need to change this because Drake is no longer at the top of the rap charts.

    3. Nice to see that Drizzy has already caugt up to Kendrick and Jay-Z. At the end of the day Drake will be considered the greatest rapper ever. He’s done more than anyone to innovate hip-hop. Kendrick is good, but he needs to stop talking recklessly and respect legends like Drake. The same dude who was nice enough to bring his ass on tour with him. Ungrateful buck-tooth chipmunk looking nigga.

      Eminem is a racist, sexist and homphobic scumbag. Hip-hop will be in a much better place when his ignorant honk*y ass retires.

      OVO is killing the game!

      1. Drake ain’t no rapper, he’s not an mc, he’s not even an rnb artist. He’s a wannabe rapper, wannabe rnb singer but he’s no good at either.

      2. Drake is an exceptional artist compared to Eminem. Drake has his own sound and doesn’t follow trends. Everyone bites Drake. Drake and 40 have revolutionized hip-hop.

        Jay-Z and Eminem just bite what everyone else is doing now. With their trash pop or EDM sounding garbage. That song with Rhianna sounds like something that Bruno Mars, Britney Spears or Maroon 5 would make. At least 40 and Drake do their own damn thing.

      3. Everything said here is wrong. You everything backwards. Drake is the biggest trend follower and sounds like hundreds of other rappers before him; he’s a terrible artist and he and 40 didn’t revolutionize hip-hop at all, they just watered it down. All of their shit is just R&B/pop rap bullshit. Jay and Eminem have their own styles which many rappers after them bite off of and every artists respect them. So, again, hop off Drake’s dick.

      4. he aint really sell a million before it came out. it dont count as individual sales if you make a deal with a corporation to buy 1 million and give them out to their customers… many of whom i sure didnt even listen to it or care

      1. I DON’T CARE IT’S ALL GOOOOOD EMINEM, JAY-Z, DRAKE, AND KENDRICK ARE ALL EXTREMELY TALENTED J.COLE’S MY FAVORITE NEXT TO EMINEM, AND KENDRICK AND EVEN THOUGH BORN SINNER WON’T REACH A MILLION COPIES SOLD IT STILL SOLD WELL OVER A HALF MILLION COPIES ABOUT 630,000 TO BE EXACT AND THAT MY HATERS MY HATERS IS STILL SOLID ASS DOPE NUMBERS NO FLOP THERE AT ALL SO REALLY THE ONES RUNNIN THE RAP GAME RIGHT NOW ARE JAY-Z, J.COLE, DRAKE, EMINEM, MACKLEMORE, AND KENDRICK LAMAR ANYONE GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT LOL TO BAD NO ONE CARES

    4. lol, Eminem is gonna pass Kendrick and Macklemore in about 2 weeks even tho I hear their shit on the radio bout 100x’s more. BOSS status

    5. And the haters are gonna say he’s white. So you think blacks bought Jay’s album or drake or K.dot? Nigga please, blacks don’t buy records, thet prefer to bootleg or steal it. Suck it, haters.

      1. Of course it’s because he’s white. No one says he isn’t talented or one of the best. Eminem acknowledges that he sells this much because he is white. It’s just the way the world works. People support their own, and white people have way more resources worldwide than blacks.

      2. @rahrahrah. So, that’s ur dumb excuse for blacks bootlegging and stealing records? Yet y’all blame Em colour when he sells that much. How d fuck can a black dude not afford 10bucks for a record. Oh! He prefers to buy cheese burger with it and come back to the internet ranting Em is white. Da fuuck outta here

      3. Brothers might steal and bootleg, but shit we don’t shoot up movie theaters, shopping malls and other shit. We been oppressed for a minute, but we some strong MF’s and Em is garbage.. Tell him to make an album that does not mention his pill problem, KIM, killing his mother and something deep … but you suppose to like EM.. he’s the great white hope

    6. Ma nikka Em killing, shitting on these nikkas! Real shit!
      Eminem – The Marshall Mathers LP 2 – 793,000 (793,000) Eminem – The Marshall Mathers LP – 10,000 (10,766,000)
      Eminem – The Eminem Show – 7,000 (10,270,000)
      Eminem – Recovery – 7,000 (4,509,000)

    7. With all those Eminem albums charting the total is around 831,000.
      He sold more than the top 40 combined 828,000 LOL!!!

    8. Well Numbers do lie right because Jay-z Album sold 1 Million records before it came out..so it should show over 2 Million Albums sold.

      1. he aint sell them to a million different people. he sold a million copies to 1 corporation who then distributed it to their customers. its not the same

      2. ^^ so whats the difference when you sell 1MM copies to a distributor (1 company) “who then distributed it to their customers” ???

        you sound dumb. #newrules

      1. how are they dickriding Em? They posted the weekly album sales like they do every week. Facts are facts. Em just happened to sell the most records this week you fucking baby

      2. @the first anonymous,

        unless DX has 793,000 employees I don’t think they can be held responsible for Eminem outselling whatever bubble gum bullshit you listen to.

      3. ahahaha people are so jealous of em, now they are dickriding by posting the weekly album salesaha. what does it really hurt that bad witnessing ems greatness. his old albums sold more this week then ur favorite rappers do on their opening week.

    9. Mmlp2 will stop selling when cod ghost stop selling. Cod already moved pass $1 billion. Am anticipating mmlp2 to do at least 6million.. Btw, Em is about to go on tour. Mmlp2 will sell till 2015. Lol

    10. tech nine and slim stay winning. eminem holy fuck 793k? and all his other albums besides reup and 8mile soundtrack on there pushing 3-10k wow holy fuck

    11. Drake still has the biggest 1st sales in hiphop this year since Eminem is pop. Eminem couldn’t even match Tha Carter 3 and 4 opening week sales. Let’s not forget that eminem and Dr Dre buy at least 50% of copies sold opening week. YMCMB still running the game.

      1. crazy how every old eminem album is still selling wheres all the old lil wayne carter albums? how many lil wayne albums sold 10 million +

      2. Who cares guys, can’t two men just intimately talk without arguing. Dental what kind of underwear are you sporting today?

      3. I just want to be close friends with him, he seems so cool, although I do often wonder what kind of underwear he likes to rock. Sure do wish he’d tell me & stop trying to start arguments.

      4. You fool, yes Carter 4 sold more in the first week but did you see the drop in the second week? Dropped to under 200k.. Lil’ Wayne’s and Drake’s albums have no longevity on the charts whereas Eminem keeps selling till he is multi-platinum. There is no comparision.

        And to the haters who say Eminem has gone pop, did you even listen to this album. The only “pop” songs on there are The Monster, Survival, Headlights and Beautiful Pain. And barring the pop elements of these songs, they are so deep lyrically. I rest my case.

    12. How can eminem call this a win if, giving he’s pop, barely outsold drake (true hiphop/R&B artist) and couldn’t even match wayne’s tha carter 4? Eminem is falling off and ymcmb is rising.

      1. Eminem couldn’t even match wayne’s tha carter 4 opening week sales so ymccmb still winning. He only sold more than drake because pop sells more than hiphop/R&B artists.

      2. Drake makes music for everyone. He’s soft for the ladies but also makes hard trap music for real niggas. Eminem makes pop all the way through. Eminem’s fallen off since eminem show.

      3. wait… so 800k first week is falling off? LOL not to mention 3 of his old albums were top 100 this week as well…. FOH go play freeze tag on the interstate

      4. No album would ever sell that much today. Also, pop from white people sell more than true hiphop shit from black people.

      5. “How can eminem call this a win if, giving he’s pop, barely outsold drake (true hiphop/R&B artist) and couldn’t even match wayne’s tha carter 4? Eminem is falling off and ymcmb is rising.

        Eminem couldn’t even match wayne’s tha carter 4 opening week sales so ymccmb still winning. He only sold more than drake because pop sells more than hiphop/R&B artists.

        Drake makes music for everyone. He’s soft for the ladies but also makes hard trap music for real niggas. Eminem makes pop all the way through. Eminem’s fallen off since eminem show.

        No album would ever sell that much today. Also, pop from white people sell more than true hiphop shit from black people”

        It’s obvious this lying bitch is dentalbitch.

      6. It’s obvious you’re a butthurt hater mad because he’s been told facts. The fact you can’t even come up with counterproof shows me you’re just a hater.

      7. hhh dumb ass nigga, carter 4 900k 1st week (500k birdman) 10k 2nd week ! eminem +700k 1st week 400k 2nd week 3 4 5 6……
        Recovery 7 millions where the fuck your fav rapper when you need him

    13. lol em gonn surpass that GARBAGAE holy grail album in just 2 weeks lmaooo that bullshit album has been out since what 15 weeks ago?

    14. The man has FOUR albums in the top 100 and still people won’t accept he’s the greatest.

      Eminem is quite simply the best of all time. Learn to deal with it dickheads.

    15. As a young money groupie bitch with no accounting skills, I can confirm that eminem is going to out sell drake. this is because drake is such a bitch that only girls like.

    16. ppl talk all this ymcmb accounting shit, but whats funny is I actually am a real accountant..i could tell everything you want to know looking at their statements

    17. damn not only did Eminem sell nearly 800,000 first week, but he sold an additional 28,000 in other albums of his, according to this sites figures

      1. 1. Drake has the biggest opening week sales of hiphop this year.
        2. Drake never purchaed any of his own albums
        3. Drake has more critical acclaim than Eminem
        4. 40 is way better than Dr Dre and on par with Mike Will

    18. Im starting to not like this site. It was number 1 for a long time, but can we please stop posting EM shit. He’s a white average rapper. He’s gonna sell millions…. not cause he’s the greatest, but he’s white and talks about irrevelent shit …. please enough is enough …

      1. so what other white rappers have done what em has done, ur a stupid racist fuk, and ur favorite rappers favorite rapper is eminem. cunt.

      2. so why did all the other white average rappers who talk about irrelevant shit flop?

        i cant believe kids are getting upset that HHDX put up the weekly album sales like they do every week but because Eminem sold the most this week they dont like this website anymore LMAO

    19. LMAO… Em’s album covers look so similar dumb nikka’s is buyin’ his old shit by mistake.. GREAT MARKETING SCHEME!!!

      1. Damn… How does his cum taste.. winning what. The most times a rapper started beef with pop stars, killed his mom and talking about pills and a 20 year old relationship… Niggaz in the hood or grown-up adults don’t listen to that meaningless pop rap. 10 years from now he’s catalog will be next to Young MC, Nelly and MC Hammer. It sold at the time, but worthless in the long run.

      2. It’s been 10 years+ and people are still listening to Em and his old albums, and they are selling like they came out last week. Would you rather have him rap about how much money he makes? We know he can but there’s a million other rappers doing that and you see how that’s working, they suffering from success LMAO!

    20. Eminem is overhyped trash. All these White kids running out to worship their White pop idol. There are way better White emcees/producers than Eminem like El-P. El-P > Eminem. Run The Jewels > MMLP2

      Company Flow – Funcrusher Plus, Fantastic Damage, I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead, Cancer For The Cure all classic.

      Not to mention albums like Cannibal Ox – Cold Vein and Killer Mike’s Rap Music which he produced, classic.

      The guy has dropped nothing but stellar HIP-HOP albums for over 15 years. Yet all these dumb White kids worship Eminem and his garbage pop songs like Monster. Keep supporting someone who does nothing for the culture morons.

    21. Everyone breathe deep & please do not feed the trolls, you just have to bore them to death, no need to try & argue.

    22. WOW EM sure do sell albums!!!! But I will say this he got more white people to buy his album. When you are crossover and has alot white fans you gonna do numbers. That a FACT. Numbers don’t lie hat off to EM. Artist like Jay-Z, Drake, Em, Kayne, and Wayne will always do big numbers no matter how suck their albums are. People are gonna buy their albums….. I don’t think theres any other artist out there who got as many fan base as EM and Jay-Z.

      1. PRODUCED BY DR. DRE (FOUNDER OF DEATH ROW RECORDS AND AFTERMATH) – Sold over 100 million records. AND RICK RUBIN (FOUNDER OF DEF JAM) – Sold over 100 million records…THATS WHY.

      2. puts his passion in music..sure alot of his music might be corney but hes passionate and cares. just to bad he doesnt have the same ear for good rap like 90 percent of the world..ei love game.

      3. because he’s EMINEM- hes the king. just like Serena Williams is the best women’s tennis player in the world (in a white sport)

      4. lmao dentaldambitch, if you don’t understand by now, u never will

        “some people just don’t get it, but I wont let it upset me, cause they don’t know better” – Eminem

    23. White people have no place in hip-hop! Whether it’s land, resources, culture or music White people pillage and destroy everything. You genetically recessive mutants! People of color will eventually rule the earth and make you toxic mutants extinct in the process! Payback is a bitch. Enjoy Eminem’s sales figures while you can assholes.

      1. ou throw that combo word around “Genetic Recessive” but yet lack the proper understanding of what it even means. first and foremost, Skin pigmentation has nothing to do with genetic recessive qualities, it actually pertains to the ethnic group origin. African’s having a high deposit of Melanin (the item which causes the dark pigmentation) due to their higher exposure to UV light which can cause irreversible cell damage if not filtered. Melanin is natures natural sun-block.

        Caucasians would require less Melanin as their ethnic background and origin were from regions of Europe which had lower levels of UV exposure, thus requiring more Hair to trap and harbor warmth and less Melanin which caused lighter skin.

        If you want to be disrespect to anyone, at least be intelligent when doing so.

      2. Last time I checked Moors didn’t go invade every country on earth that was inhabited by people of color, stealing land, resources, raping, pillaging and spreading their diseases. The didn’t have like 100 million plus people as slaves all around the globe at one time. They weren’t systematically wiping out entire peoples, destroying cultures.

        White people are the devil and it’s only a matter of time before the ultimate payback begins. It’s been a long time coming, but it is well-deserved.

      3. Did I say their pigmentation was a recessive trait? No you inferred that. That fact is there are recessive traits are commonly found among Whites compared to some other peoples…e.g. narrow noses.

      4. “Last time I checked Moors didn’t go invade every country on earth that was inhabited by people of color, stealing land, resources, raping, pillaging and spreading their diseases. ”

        They would have if they could have but they were too weak LOL

      5. Look, ANOTHER brainwashed NGE faggot that thinks he knows something about humanity. Take your stupid ass back to science class and get outta that racist cult before you end up getting your face smashed in, stupid!

      6. lord jamar wont even be around to see anyone rule anything..hes about to die from old age in like wht 5 years maybe.. hell need grownup diapers

        on top of that can you just get over it? were here to stay, were never going anywhere and we better at this game than blacks now.. accept it and just move it bitter man.

      7. ^threatened? how do you figure. if anything black ppl feel threatened bec they realize whites are slowly dominating their fav music genre with witty rhymes, crazy flows and meaningful songs..were not the ones on twitter bitchin about the white man taking rap over..it just happens when you have more creativity and meaningful shit to say.

        so if anyting your the ones scared for your hiphop lives haha

      8. anytime someone disagrees with or responds to one of these black power kooks in their mind its automatically a pale white skinned person who feels threatened LOLOLOLOL

      9. Tell em God LMAO Devils are coming out of the wood work now that the only good white rapper is on the charts… I love it

      10. us white devils have been here all along but it was never about race until you guys caught feelings about a white man outselling all your black artists!

      11. Are there any nice black communities? Anywhere? Detroit is the epitome of a black community and houses can’t sell for $5000. Shade Skins are genetically recessive mutants. Just look at Detroit and every other ghetto across the world. Shade Skins destroy everything. When they get a little money…they spend it on shoes, whips, and gold chains. Weak Minded Fucks.

    24. “If I was black, I would have sold half. I didn’t have to graduate from Lincoln high school to know that” – White America, Eminem

      1. ppl still quoting eminem from 13 years ago lmaoo.. that line and the line about his naming his top 10 on til i collapse is 13 years old.. times have wayyyy changed in a decade plus buddy.

        shit 13 years ago he was wreckin his mom in songs..now hes apologizing.

      2. probably em wouldn’t sell as much if he was black but he’d still be very successful and killing most beats he’s on

    25. Eminem is shitting all over everyone right now. Tech N9ne is the only other artist dropping quality shit. His “All Access” CD that dropped over the summer is FIRE. The track he dropped with HOPSIN is fire too. Real recognizes Real when it comes to album sales.

    26. some of his old ass albums are still selling!? and some of them even more than the relevant albums, put him in the hall of fame already

    27. EMINEM IS THE ONLY RELEVANT RAPPER TODAY. EVERYONE ELSE IS EITHER RAP/POP OR TRAP (WHICH IS NOT LYRICAL AT ALL). FACT.

    28. damn 4 of ems albums sold lolll. recovery was wack as shit but the rest sold for good reason. classics. except mmlp2 which is just a solid album. def no classic

      1. it usually takes years before you can judge whether or no an album should be considered a classic. MMLP1 was underrated at first.

      2. theres 2 many corney and singing songs to be a classic. theres alot of bangers but the corney songs simply just fuck up the entire project and def devalue it as a whole..

        eminemshow/ mmlp1/ sslp/ relapse…then mmlp2..IMhO

      3. yeah A pop chorus. one or two.. not the entire album. also he had a bunch of rap features sprinkled with 2-3 singers..not ALL singing features.. i dont even consider that song with kendrick lamar hiphop not even close..i put it in the complete garbage category.

      1. eminem is hip hop/rock. you cant call it pop listen to the instruments in the music. its rock guitars. if you stupid 13 year old fucks knew anything about music u wud know hes sampling classic rock anthems and songs from the 70s and 80s. they going for the rock sound. when eminems beats sounds like rihannas and justin beabers beats then u can say that but until then just shut the fuck up

    29. i find it dope tthat this dude lecrae sells 15k while his tape is available for free on datpiff. say what you want about him, you gotta respect that. tape is dope

      1. we’re not talking about Kendrick Lamar you fucking tool. He was comparing Drake to Eminem. pay attention quotegirl

    30. Laughing at people who think Eminem only sells because he is white and appeals to white people. Hello, who do you think buys music whether the artist is black or white? White people

    31. “some of his old ass albums are still selling!? and some of them even more than the relevant albums, put him in the hall of fame already”.

      1. That’s because he re-released those TES, SSLP, TES, and Encore for only $6.99 I think. I remember grabbing MMLP2 and noticing his older stuff on the shelves with new sale prices.

    32. Can’t believe some of you idiots are saying Eminem is pop but Drake is hip hop. Drake is one of the most pop rappers out today. Eminem makes hip hop

    33. Half a sperm decided to open his bitch made mouth. Kendrick’s numbers are embarrassing, so I decided to point that out. If you can’t handle that, then go suck your father’s dick.

      1. having the highest selling hip-hop album of 2012 is embarrassing for a relative newcomer to the game? LMAO

        Kendrick must have fucked Quotemans girl or something.

      2. There’s nothing embarrassing about selling more than a million. You’re just mad because Eminem outsold your Canadian hero again.

    34. Why are people race baiting. Em is not the richest entertainer in Hip-Hop so he can sell as many records as he wants. People do realize Em is technically Dre’s artist. So can the black people enjoy for once being the Boss as the white man actual does all the labor. #IJS

      1. Read the initial post again and tell me how that changes that Dre is Em’s boss still and Dre was #2 I believe on the Forbes list for Hip-Hop Entertainers. Where was Lovine and Em…..#ETHERED

      2. great post you pretty much summed up why black should not be so up in arms. we all know why em sells the most and its not just his talent alone. but when he eats Dre is eating, so its a win for everyone race lol

      3. Dre was #3 this year with 40 million behind Puffy and Jay! Eminem, Macklemore and Drake were the only white people who cracked the top 20 so the black rappers/business men are still running the game

      4. Why did certain responded turn this into a Jimmy Lovine thing? So I guess they got upset that Dre is making more money then his artist who sells all these records. Don’t be mad be glad lmao

    35. Quoting a comment I saw below

      “If I was black, I would have sold half. I didn’t have to graduate from Lincoln high school to know that” – White America, Eminem

      Tupac was black and sold even more than Em until his untimely death(RIP). So, why can’t other blacks sell records like Em? Answer: they are lazy as fuck, PAC was a real hustler.

      1. Both suck, and have White people all over their nuts. It should have been Em taking bullets instead of Proof.

      2. Let me correct that

        ”Tupac was black and sold even more than Em until his untimely death(RIP). So, why can’t other blacks sell records like Em? Answer: they are lazy as fuck, PAC was a real hustler.”

        ”Tupac was black and sold a few million less than Eminem because of all the hype surrounding his death, his post humous albums sold hell of a lot more than he sold when he was alive, and even after releasing three times the albums he released when he was alive after his death, he still fell short of Eminem by over 10 million records, despite having released 4 more solo albums than him. So, why can’t other blacks sell records like Em? Answer: they are lazy as fuck, PAC was a mediocre rapper with a great and inspiring message and mediocre lyricism full of quotables that 13-20 year olds could rap to in front of their mirrors and feel like they owned the fucking world with.”

      3. Not while he was alive he didn’t most of 2Pac’ sales came after he died. And Eminem had that record beat for a while now. Keep in mind Eminem has less solo albums out than 2Pac.

      4. What about BIG??? U Niccas ain’t tired of making excuses. How come BIGs post albums didn’t sell like PAC?? Smh

    36. Eminem is blacker than Drake lmao, Drake needed the world to know he’s half Jewish so that he could sell records

    37. If you’re an artist & you dont want to make music that appeals to the masses you’re an idiot or you dont want that type of success. Eminem appeals to the masses because of his quality music

      1. There is the option to go independent, i.e. Macklemore. Em sells a lot not just because of the quality of his music, but also because of his marketability and his name.

      2. What makes having a name big enough to be mentioned amongst the Michael Jackson’s & Beatle’s of the world a bad thing?

    38. 793k first week after 3 year solo hiatus and for an album far less pop than his previous and without a hit single nearly as big as Not Afraid or Love the Way You Lie. That’s crazy.

    39. More and more comments…hahaha. And y’all complaining Em is selling records when every post on Em becomes the most popular and most discussed in a matter of hours. Roflmao

    40. Am beginning to hate black people. No unity. Why don’t we support our own and leave dem whites alone ?funny enough, dem whites are even d ones buying our albums coz I know blacks don’t buy shit…fuck y’all. Coming from an educated nigga.

    41. With all those Eminem albums charting the total is around 831,000.
      He sold more than the top 40 combined 828,000 UNREAL LOL!!!

      1. So a pop artist with a large fanbase will make the game better for others who don’t have a fan base with 1/10 the reach? Pulleeeezzz

      2. lady gaga HDD 350k 1st week , eminem has more than 15 years in the music industry and still #1 worldwide none can do that

    42. Funny how Drake & Em fans only care about sales, proves that the majority of their fanbase are teens who think numbers mean something.

      1. Of course! First of all, it sold more first week than Recovery did. And, it has the hit singles that will continue to keep it selling.

    43. Drake can sing and rap and has the biggest opening week sales in hiphop this year, wayne’s a legendary skater and rapper, and Nicki’s got a fine ass.

    44. does anyone know some of the specifics of em’s record deal? all these records sells and i don’t remember him being the highest paid on the forbes list except for maybe that year when he toured heavy.

      1. DMX said he earned Def Jam $120 million, and pocketed $10 million. Obviously, Eminem has been compensated very well over the years, so even if he’s been screwed out of some money, it’s nothing he hasn’t made how many times over.

      2. Didn’t the initial post say he topped the list a random year for touring or something? Butthurt Stans get mad if someone ask a valid question. Must be a white boy

    45. How did Eminem’s first week sales not match JT’s 20/20 Experience Part 1’s sales? Thought it would go plat in it’s first week.

      1. All the stans gave it a 5 rating and it had a single attached to one of the biggest entertainment products in the world COD. So there really is not reason it didn’t sell a mill first week except for it wasn’t a great album ijs

    46. Never knew blacks could bitch up so much…yet y’all claim to be thugs and gangsters..fuck y’all. Stupid fucks bitching over the internet. I’d smack the fuck outta any black punk I see tonight.

    47. everyday on sites like HipHopDx, i realize more and more how much i hate this generation of “hip hop fans”….some of you need to change your tampon

      1. MACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS – The Heist : 1,124,000

    48. “having the highest selling hip-hop album of 2012 is embarrassing for a relative newcomer to the game? LMAO”

      It took Ms. big ears 7 months to do what Drake did a little over 1. Plus, past debuts all were higher than this Compton Queen. Oh, and I heard Kendrick fucked your girlfriend in front of you and all you could say was, “damn kendrick… I wish my dick could get that big.”

      1. Your Canadian Jewish queen, Miss Aubrey Gay-ham, is not a real hip-hop artist and has the same pop fanbase as Justin Bieber.

      2. “It took Ms. big ears 7 months to do what Drake did a little over 1”

        LOL took him 7 months to do what ya boy Officer Ricky couldnt do once in 7 years

    49. “Nah Quoteman aint ever have no girls you can tell by the bitch made posts he makes on here hes lonely”

      You’re on here 24/7, tiny, but anyway, I realize your life is pure shit. The tone in your responses tells me you’ve been bullied most of your life. I’ve bullied you, and for that I’m truly glad. I own your bitch ass, so go cry to mommy sport, cause real men don’t want to stop to wait for you to wipe your emotional eyes before they beat the holy shit outta ya.

    50. Salute to the Canadian Drake and the Caucasian Emenem, it’s not easy to be the biggest sellers in an African American art form, takes some collusion no doubt.

      This was HipHop 5 years ago:

      LIL WAYNE – Tha Carter III : 3,811,000 (3x Platinum)

      SNOOP DOGG – Ego Trippin’ : 401,317
      FLO RIDA – Mail On Sunday : 399,412

      Man, them days are long gone, you not gonna see them type of brothers eating like that or a Top 10 list in HipHop music looking like that EVER again.

      1. BruthaDee you know everyone on that list fell the fuck off musically except Nas

        blame the niccas putting out the same trash music that people dont wanna pay for

      2. Forgive me that original post was 6 years ago, here is the actual 5 years ago:

        (2009)

        BLACK EYED PEAS – The E.N.D. : 3,237,000
        EMINEM – Relapse : 2,238,039
        JAY-Z – The Blueprint 3 : 1,932,783
        KID CUDI – Man On The Moon : 840,000
        DRAKE – So Far Gone EP : 632,373
        YOUNG MONEY – We Are Young Money : 570,560
        50 CENT – Before I Self Destruct : 474,843
        RICK ROSS – Deeper Than Rap : 442,135
        GUCCI MANE – The State vs Radric Davis : 425,556
        LONELY ISLAND – Incredibad : 387,100

        In a bit of irony out of that top 10: Eminem, JayZ, Kid Cudi, Drake, Gucci Mane
        Young Money(Rich Gang), & Lonely Island all dropped albums this year with one more
        Ross dropping in December.

        The only artists from the Top 10 in 2009 that didnt drop this year are 50-Cents and Black Eyed Peas

      3. Gucci was ready to really blow up with that Wasted, Lemonade and Spotlight but went to jail and fell back into obscurity

      4. That Gucci album almost had a chance, his infamy is insane and collectors and devoted fans might cop his back catalog joints but at 75K thats too much, he wont ever go Gold.

        Ross at 475K is either Gold by now or will be sometime in the future he has a catalog that is worth having all the albums if you are a fan or collector.

        That 50-Cents album BISD is certified Gold now by the RIAA.

      5. The irony is that 5 years ago Eminim, Drake, Cudi & JayZ were in the Top 10 and 5 years later it’s the same thing with Ross most likely in the Top 10 too when he drops in December.
        Some artists fall off or get dropped from their label and never make it make to the Top 10

      6. Thats like saying its ironic that I still work at the same job I’ve had for 5 years 5 years from now. That aint ironic at all really

      7. LOL, ignorant chump compared having a regular job for 5 years to staying on top in the rap game for 5 years. These bitches just say stupid shit for a response, they like little bitches.

      8. its okay we know you probabaly dropped out of school in 9th grade to stand on a corner and failed to properly undertstand what terms like irony mean

    51. DJ Khaled needs to cut that suffering from success talk out. Nigga you barely sold 40k in a month with the entire rap industry featured on your shit. No way that album is making him 1 cent

      1. Khaled is succesful enough to sell 40 thousand copies of an album that he neither sings on or raps on or plays any instruments on. Go check his BMI and all the publishing he gets from those songs.

      2. I have never engaged in homosexual acts with a man nor Khaled but I enjoy seeing other people succeed and dont feel compelled to celebrate/hate the success or failure of other people in order to make myself feel better. Many wretched souls focus on the perceived failures of others rather than focus on their successes, achievements, and accomplishments. Just depends on your mentality.

    52. there you go black folks look at the numbers look at the sales. No black rapper will even come close because you blacks dont buy shit. You guys dont support your artists like we do which is why white boy runs the rap game a genre you blacks created. That goes to show no matter what you black folks have or create the white man will take and use to his advantage because you guys are lazy and unsupportive of your folks.

      1. Black folks are 13% of the U.S. population with less disposable income than whites and 999,999,999 rappers and singers to support in genres that range from R&B to Reggea, to Neo-Soul, to Gospel,
        to Jazz, to Blues….

        Some black folks don’t listen to rap music at all its pretty much a demographic of 15-30 primarily but based on the success of Wale, 2-Chainz, French etc it looks like consumers showed their support in the millions.

        Someone has to support Musiq Soulchild, Lyfe Jennings, and Jaheim so us Black folks have to pay the tab with little to no white support making it seem as if we dont support Ace Hood because he didn’t move 100K

      2. same old shit from BruthaDee

        “but based on the success of Wale, 2-Chainz, French etc it looks like consumers showed their support in the millions.”

        if you add the total sales from all of those guys last albums close to a million LOLOL

        144k + 330k + 153k = 627k for between the 3 of them for 2013

      3. @WhitemansWorld

        Whatever makes you feel better go for it but I know plenty of people who support their artists by buying singles, merchandise and buying tickets to see them perform. It is like the other guy was saying Wale, French & 2 Chainz all have Plat & Gold singles and sell out shows in the Hood and at HBCUs.

      4. So why are 2 black men at the top of the Forbes hip hop entertainers list??? I love the irony the white boy sells the most while the black men make the most money. You decide which means more success. i know which one I’m choosing #ETHER

      ^ lol

      I’ve been sh*tting on YOU for eons! YOU PUSSY, undisputed FACT.

      Who YOU bullied? WHO? Your replies and threats reek of BITCHASSNESS. You a JOKE around here, a straight BITCH that we laugh at because you WILLING to show how LAME YOU ARE.

      You DYING for someone to believe that f*ckboy talk you type. And every time you TRY, we do the same, call YOU a BITCH.

      PUSSY

      lol

      1. Wait a minute…..

        what real man, who is SUPPOSEDLY living a “marvelous life”, making more than all of us and is “smarter” than all of us, be online talking about some rapper’s EARS and trying to downplay THEIR success, which is a milestone that Puci’s (PUSSY’S) favorite artist HASN’T done?

        None. Only BITCHES do that. REAL MEN cut the grass low to see snakes like YOU, Q U O T E – M A N.

      2. Are you honestly that deluded where you think that all this back and forth nonsense is real to the point where you think I’m bothered by it? lol I’m commenting on hip hop, guy. Dissing the shit out of you is just a bonus. Something that takes seconds.

      3. quoteman is like the 4th biggest joke on this website next to dentaldamboy, the gucci and ja trolls and that old ass @BruthaDee guy whos like 40

    55. Lecrae’s Church Clothes 2 sold 15,000 the record the first week?! It’s a free mixtape on datpiff.com. You gotta have a hardcore fan base to chart a free mixtape the first week….

    56. Are people really asking why Eminem doesn’t top the Forbes list? It’s because he is a musician not a businessman. His net worth is also north of 140million. Most artists make money from investing in businesses or start something like Dre did with Beats by Dre

      1. He requested that his finances not be publicized because of the stigma that he is making millions off Black music as the modern day Elvis.

      2. He’s not a business man??? Lying ass..He owns a label, signs artist and owns a radio station but he’s not a business man GTFOH Stanley Mayweather LMAO

    57. I see dentldambitch isn’t using his own name anymore, possibly because someone called him out on letting Birdman skull fuck him? Most likely.

      1. Who gives a fuck. That kid is a fucking troll and dumbshits like you acknowledge his existence, thus bringing him back here everyday.

      The Beatles (Capitol) 40-45k
      Jhene Aiko (Def Jam/IDJ) 25-30k
      The Killers (Island/IDJ) 12-15k

      1. Damn. Gaga done flopped. Her last album did a million 1st week and this new one is gonna do less than that? Huh.

      2. not everyone can put up numbers like that forever. the problem with doing it big is when you eventually fall people will say you you flopped despite selling more than 95% of the industry in your first week

      1. Gucci Mane is the realest rapper and heres why.

        – all other rappers rap about being gangster shooting and killing but they havent done it.
        – Eminem raps about killing he hasnt.
        – Jay z raps in open letter about sending shots he hasnt.
        – T.I. snitch to the feds
        – Young Jeezy was never bmf
        – 50 Cent snitch and was never in jail but a youthcamp
        – Game was never a banger but lived the life of his brother in his lyrics
        – Nas Escobar never sold drugs
        – Ice Cube never was a gangbanger
        – Dr Dre never was a gangbanger
        – Snoop was never a crip
        – 2pac was a ballerina and never sold drugs after he become famous he was doing some stupid stuff like beating and shooting at people because he though he could get away with it. Without Suge Knight 2pac was just a skinny motherf*cker.
        – Mobb deep are the biggiest cowards in rap they are short as midgets and keep talking this g sh*t but never did g sh*t.
        – Most of the rappers rap about stuff they havent done yet you all support them and say its real rap.
        – When rick ross does it you all claim he is fake and say its fake rap.

        This shows that hiphop fans are hypocritical and all these real hiphop fan wanna be’s are just some unjustified haters whose opinions are just as irrelevent as the swag fag rapper fans.

        BIG GUWOP KILLED A MAN HE WAS A DRUG DEALER BEFORE RAPPER HE HAS STREET CREDENTIALS HE IS THE ONLY RAPPER THAT RAPS ABOUT FACTS THERE FORE BIG GUWOP IS THE REALEST RAPPER IN THE RAP GAME AND THATS A FACT!!!!!!

    60. I do not get where all these christian rap fans come from who buy Lacrae’s shit. Every other rapper and album on that list is as far from Christian music as you can get. I just don’t picture the same person listening to Lacrae is listening to Pusha T. Am I wrong?

      1. good music is good music. i personally never heard the cat but some people seem to like him and wanna buy his shit despite it being available for free download on dat piff so more power to him

      1. Zero promotion? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!!

        C4 was promoted to death. Also, Recovery outsold C4.

      2. carter4 sold 960k 1st week with no promotion or radio spins and it leaked a week early, yet it STILL outsold mmlp2 ! These are the facts!

      3. 1m first week and 95k second week and eventually drop out of the chart in the third week??? Thats lazy sales. Mmlp2 will sell till 2015. See, mmlp, tes, recovery, 3ncore, relapse are still selling…thats consistency.

      4. doesnt change the fact carter4 outsold mmlp2 and recovery in 1st week with sales with NO promotion or RADIO hits and Em having a much LARGER fanbase than Wayne!

      5. That’s BS. C4 had a bunch of promotion and radio hits. Recovery outsold C4 in total sales and so will MMLP2. 4 Million>2 Million. Also, if you wanna talk 1st week sales, the first MMLP had higher 1st week sales than all of Wayne’s albums with 1.7 million 1st week.

    61. Most black men really would prefer black women to just go date white men on a large scale so they can fuck up they livelyhood like they have done to many black men but that won’t happen for a couple of reasons. First off white men won’t deal with black women on a large level. They want their blonde haired blue eyed becky and nothing less. Black women your blonde weave and blue contacts wont make the cut. They see you as a walking doo doo turd with a blonde wig on. Second off in black womens dream world where all white men will go to them they would be a totally different woman towards the white man compared to how rotten,stinky and nasty they are when they get with a black man. In their minds they feel like black men dont deserve to be respected,loved and treated right so they treat them like shit but they start kissin white ass,buck dancin and shining shoes when they get wit they masta the white man!

      OddFutureTalk has “liberal” sad white boys and uncle toms, and is just as fucking bad as KanyeToThe, its butt buddy.

      HypeBeast is nothing but hipster white faggots and dumb niggas with no knowledge of hip hop, much like KTT, OFT, HNHH, etc.

      2dopeboyz, IllRoots, and Slum-Boxden (I Think) are kinda okay and only slightly better than the rest I have named, except for NahRight & Rap Radar (maybe).

        It’s fascinating watching the poor creatures plea desperately for attention and get ignored, we tortured these freaks in school and we torture them online by not responding to their desperation.

        Their are some good websites to read articles and get new music from on that list but it’s best to just follow the artists, editors, and HipHop bloggers on Twitter to get your news, music interviews and updates.

        These forums have became infested with the most vile and disgusting human filth that you could imagine, sick and twisted loners who have no other means of human interaction so they slither around on anonymous forums behind the safe confines of anonymity trying to get the attention of strangers……a sickening and sad existence but yet utterly fascinating to behold.

        Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Vine, Snapchat>>>>>>>>>Forums.

      4. The real irony is the dude that posted that shit got banned from every rap forum for being a racist troll so now he down talks all these hip-hip websites and claims twitter is where its at cause its his only outlet! Yeah instragram is so awesome bro we can look at your selfies and all the food you ate last week watching basketball! LMAO

        DOn’t believe me just google “BruthaDee” or “graftedgenes” or “H-Rap 180”

    63. “be online talking about some rapper’s EARS and trying to downplay THEIR success”

      Success can be interpreted in many different ways. He didn’t even officially go platinum until June of this year. NM sold more copies last year, but people conveniently don’t bring that up. Take that as you will shit head.

      1. If the only artist you comparing him to is Nicki Minaj he already won dawg. dont you see thats winning for a broke kid from compton who spits that real hip-hop shit?

    64. “took him 7 months to do what ya boy Officer Ricky couldnt do once in 7 years”

      Officer Ricky doesn’t seem phased by it. Why should you?

      1. lol he aint phased cause he knows its not gonna happen. he accepted that fact that he’ll never be more than a second tier rapper who peaked 2 years ago. its all downhill for ross from here

      2. it actually is pretty decent BruthaDee you should check it out, bump that in your whip next time you out there taking selfies

      1. everyone knows Wayne bought his own shit… He cheated youtube views for fuck sakes. Not to mention, he has HUGE drop offs as soon as second week comes along.

        Evidence is there

      2. No wayne didn’t buy his own albums dumbass because albums that hit no.1 fall steeply afterwards. JT fell off hard in the second weekend, lady gaga with born this way fell off, and madonna MDNA fell off the most in its second week. How come you don’t accuse them of buying their own albums?

        Oh wait that’s right they are white and wayne is black. Keep your white racism to yourself people. Eminem’s going to fall off hard in his second week and yet he will get a pass because he’s white.

      3. Wayne averages a 77% drop in second week sales and it’s for 2 reasons

        1) Birdman buys Waynes album in the first week

        and

        2) Wayne releases his records during a welfare collection week and his fans run out of money after that first week.

      4. ” lady gaga with born this way fell off, and madonna MDNA fell off the most in its second week. How come you don’t accuse them of buying their own albums?”

        Maybe because this is a fucking hip-hop website and we dont give a fuck about Gaga or Madonna. THINK MORON

    65. “Damn. Gaga done flopped. Her last album did a million 1st week and this new one is gonna do less than that? Huh.”

      It’s an epic flop.

    66. “lol he aint phased cause he knows its not gonna happen. he accepted that fact that he’ll never be more than a second tier rapper who peaked 2 years ago. its all downhill for ross from here”

      Officer Ricky can sleep well at night knowing he has accumulated millions of dollars, sold millions of records and given opportunities for his fellow brethren.
      4 Gold albums a slew of Platinum & Gold singles and a recording career thats spanned over a decade.
      Hes a Grammy nominated, BillBoard nominated performer that has traveled the globe and made music with legends. I would hate him too if I was you.

        ^ now…..

        ain’t that Kendrick’s resume minus the years? BUT… PUCI says THIS

        “Success can be interpreted in many different ways. He didn’t even officially go platinum until June of this year. NM sold more copies last year, but people conveniently don’t bring that up.”

        ^ REAL MEN, ADULTS SEE the PUSS in YOU

      2. Who is the odball guy trying to play E-detective and ISpy name dropping men and bringing gay talk into a convo about rap music?

      3. Meh he is the resident homo’, he chases all the guys around screaming their names with his keyboard, we call him Stan Sim.

      4. I agree with the third post but let me add on:

        I think Rozay is most proud of helping upgrade the careers of the team he has assembled.

    67. “Are you honestly that deluded where you think that all this back and forth nonsense is real to the point where you think I’m bothered by it? lol I’m commenting on hip hop, guy”

      ^ translation: “donnis, stop bothering meeeeee”

      BUT…….check some PROOF that boy PUSSY

      “You’re on here 24/7, tiny, but anyway, I realize your life is pure shit. The tone in your responses tells me you’ve been bullied most of your life. I’ve bullied you, and for that I’m truly glad. I own your bitch ass, so go cry to mommy sport, cause real men don’t want to stop to wait for you to wipe your emotional eyes before they beat the holy shit outta ya.”

      ^ where’s the HIP HOP in that comment?

      that reply wasn’t me lol YOU KNOW when I address YOU, PUSSY

      “Success can be interpreted in many different ways. He didn’t even officially go platinum until June of this year. NM sold more copies last year, but people conveniently don’t bring that up.”

      ^ this is S P I N, it don’t matter WHEN you get certified BOY, we’re stating a FACT, YOU talking about EARS and bringing up other rappers like a little BITCH

      “Take that as you will shit head.”

      ^ OMG, Quote-Man dissed me! He’s bullying me! LOL

      “Are you honestly that deluded where you think that all this back and forth nonsense is real…..”

      ^ YOU THE DELUSIONAL ONE ACTING LIKE THAT BULLSH!T YOU SAY IS TRUE!

      ROFL

      1. Poor little Donnis having visions like Kendrick. Since when have you bullied anyone except probably your ex wife. Copy and pasting every word I type. Desperately trying to one up a stranger over the internet. That’s original lol Take today off homie. You’ve earned it.

    68. According to drake fan logic, macklemore is the best rapper now because his album has sold the most. On the top ten. Just saying sales don’t mean anything.

      1. Pusha T – MNIMN was better
        Action Bronson -Blue Chips 2 – only a mixtape still better
        Even Drakes album was better.
        N.O.R.E Student of the game= better
        ASAP rockys Album wasnt bad either
        Kendrick but his shit came out last year was miles ahead
        Cam’ron Killa season- only a mix tape still better than MMLP2

      2. You the broke one wasting cash on eminem… i downloaded that weak ish ya bish.. u mad i saved a $20 for weed doggie?? Oh u mad huh..

    69. if you gonna keep riding this nigga weezy dick so fucking hard, comparing him to EM and shit, you gonna require big deal of lube fuckers!

    70. Eminem sold more then all your favorite rappers combined on just 3 albums. Somebody tell DJ Khaled that he’s suffering from a flop!

      1. Who gives a shit about album sales? Bieber and Gaga are killin youre favourite rapper in sales…
        MNIMN was a better album and sold fuck all.

    71. 792,000 – USA
      143,000 – UK
      103,000 – Canada
      39,000 – France
      24,000 – Australia
      5,400 – Japan

      = 1,106,400

      1. He is an American hero like his predecessor Elvis, whoever can mimic the African rhythms the best gets the sales. Guess where Elvis said he for his style from. Guess who was the sound behind the Back Street Boys and N’Synch. Who did the Beatles say their influences where.

        You out Black music in a white package and sell it for mass consumption to white consumers, its a golden formula for success and those who can mimic the Black rhythms the best sell the most records.

      1. cause he’s the only one who can be bothered doing so many shows. imagine if other rappers did the same number of shows…. they would make more than him.

        tech n9ne is one of the wackest rappers of the last ten years. i associate him with the decline in quality of hip hop music. his shit is a joke.

    72. So Far
      “Shady, what up?” What? Come on, man, I’m crapping
      And you’re asking me for my goddamn autograph on a napkin

      The Way I Am
      And I’m thankful for every fan that I get
      But I can’t take a shit in the bathroom without someone standing by it

      1. Eminems hottest songs since 2004 where “Drop the world” “Forever” and “no love”
        Tell me a song on ecovery,relapse or MMLP2 which is better than one of those songs?

      2. Medicine Ball, Deja Vu, Beautiful, 25 to Life, Going Through Changes, Cinderella Man, So Bad, Bad Guy, Legacy, Brainless, Evil Twin, Groundhog Day, etc. are all better than those three songs.

      3. i havent listened to recovery in years but i know dam well theres betters song on there.. that 3 am joint is better than no love i know that

      4. Beautiful was WACK! are u kidding…

        There are 2 dope jams on Bad vs evil..
        Then yeah i guess youre list is pretty on point.

      5. Rhyme or Reason,Evil Twin,legacy,brainless,bad guy,baby,beautiful pain,wicked ways,groundhog day,rap god,deja vu,ridaz,3 A.M,Medicine Bal,Stay Wide Awake,underground.

    73. Jay-Z is God to me
      Nas is God to me!
      Eminem is like B.I.G. and Pac to me
      And if you disagree I hope you bleed hypocrisy!

    74. Eminem’s entire discography selling like mad!!!

      #1. Eminem – The Marshall Mathers LP 2 – 793,000 (793,000)

      #30. Eminem – The Marshall Mathers LP – 10,000 (10,766,000)

      #58. Eminem – The Eminem Show – 7,000 (10,270,000)

      #64. Eminem – Recovery – 7,000 (4,509,000)

      #94. Eminem – Curtain Call – 5,000 (3,778,000)

      #115. Eminem – The Slim Shady LP – 4,000 (5,433,000)

      #158. Eminem – Encore – 3,000 (5,343,000)

      #159. Eminem – Relapse – 3,000 (2,335,000)

      1. Impressive but at the same time the fact that Encore is still selling 3k shows that people will buy anything he drops.

    75. For people making excuses that Eminem is not on the Forbes top Hip-Hop entertainers because he isn’t a business man are fooling themselves. He owns a label, signs artist and owns a radio station so he is indeed a business man. Dre is eating more off of his music then he is, so keep on selling them records my dude. When Em wins Dre wins….

    76. What im having a hard time figuring out is why there are no tracks produced by Dre…..too busy with his headphones =)

      1. Dre beats are weak? Are you an attention-Troll or just one of those Marshall Mathers fans that only listens to the beats Dre throws away to Eminem?

        Dr Dre is 48 and Eminem is 41 and by most fans standards Eeminem has not dropped a Hot rap album in years.

    77. Femenim the male Fergie has a secret warehouse in Pamona California where they take kidnapped homeles minorities and allow Femenim to torture them. Lots of people know about the torture factory but are to to tell on him him.

      1. ATTENTION ICHABOD CRANE:

        You have been pulled over by the grammar police! Please use correct grammar so others can understand you faggot!

      2. You should have called yourself The Headless Horseman because you probably don’t get head with those dumb ass comments.

    78. “Officer Ricky can sleep well at night knowing he has accumulated millions of dollars, sold millions of records and given opportunities for his fellow brethren”

      That wasn’t even my post, Donnis, or whoever you’re pretending to be today. Tell the voices in your head to lead you to church.

      1. “or whoever you’re pretending to be today”

        ^ translation:

        “I’m so shook I think every and anybody who replies to me is just one person, donnis mac”

        LOL

        yet YOU KNOW when I speak to you boy, YOU PRESS REPLY, get angry & CURSE and wanna FIGHT.

        I STAY telling YOU, “that ain’t even me” to let YOU know there are PEOPLE, not just me, who see RIGHT THRU YOU.

        Why would I need to hide when I can straight up call you PUSSY, and you know who it is!

        Do you even realize the bullsh!t you drop and recant?

    79. “he aint phased cause he knows its not gonna happen. he accepted that fact that he’ll never be more than a second tier rapper who peaked 2 years ago. its all downhill for ross from here”

      Second tier rappers don’t have #1 albums, favorable release dates, and a net worth of $30 million. Thanks for chiming in though.

      1. K Dot is a second tier rapper, not rick ross. Not a single kendrick album went no. 1 yet while all but one of rick ross’s albums went to no. 1.

      2. sure he didnt go number 1 but he still sold more in his first week than any Rick Ross album ever has!!! Ross strategically puts out his albums when no one else is dropping to get a number 1 spot!

      1. Hiphop and pop stars work all the time together. That doesn’t make rick ross pop. Rick ross keeps it to the streets, nicki keeps it to the streets and the clubs, while eminem is just pop.

      1. yep he worked with a white pop star trying to make a hit and failed while his fans try to discredit all his peers for doing the same LMAO

    80. With Hold climbing, Wu-Tang Forever at No. 62 and 10 songs debuting, led by All Me (featuring 2 Chainz and Big Sean) at No. 20, Drake claims 12 positions on the Hot 100, tying the mark for the most simultaneously charted titles among soloists: Lil Wayne first posted 12 the week of Sept. 17, 2011. In the Hot 100s 55-year history, only the Beatles have charted more titles at once: 14, April 11, 1964. (Taylor Swift holds the record among women: 11, Nov. 13, 2010).

      1. Eminem sold like 1.7 mill first week. pretty sure that was the highest selling first week sales of all time but dont quote me on that. wayne aint shit tho

    81. “”Nicki’s a pop artist”

      Kendrick worked with Robin Thicke. Guess that makes him a pop artist too.”

      Kendrick never made a sellout pop record like Starships or Super Bass.

      1. Why dumb himself down to make shitty dance-pop records at all and why would he? He’s a hip-hop artist, he makes hip-hop music.

    82. Eminem fan see’s MMLP2 cover, votes it album of the year before even listening to it, puts on headphones… “bow chicka wow wow” Errrmahgerd sah good!!!

      1. got any proof to back up your nonsensical claims are you just another jealous hater mad a white boy selling more than your fav rapper?

    83. DJ KHALED NEEDS TO RETIRE

      How the fuck is Jhene Aiko gonna sell more than you with the entire rap industry featured on your album? what a fucking joke! She selling more than Rich Gang too!!!

    84. ] “Bow chicka wow wow”
      / This is youre favourite album?
      Il]. /
      .. / \ Eminem is one of the greatest rappers agree’d. but This album is not touchin his earlier shit… zero subject matter… bow chicka wow wow”

    85. Why dont YOU grow youre beard out eminem? And put some of these Mc’s u talk up on youre album instead of Skylar

      Bow chika wow wow… hahaahah so bad

      1. what does growing a beard have to do with anything?

        some of us white boys look stupid with beard and facial hair

        i agree about putting some real mc’s on his projects though. he already sold enough and will sell regardless he might as well take it back and make some dope ass hip-hop with the mcs he respects

      2. sounds like a rick ross stan thinking a beard makes you a man. LOL Ross only grew his beard out to look like the cat he stole his name and identity from!

      3. I was saying “You grow a beard” as his lyrics say “grow a beard out,just weird out”

        And white boys look good with a beard i think, im black i have to keep it short or it becomes like a face afro.

    86. Wayne averages a 77% drop in second week sales and it’s for 2 reasons

      1) Birdman buys Waynes album in the first week

      and

      2) Wayne releases his records during a welfare collection week and his fans run out of money after that first week…

    87. Not bad for an album with not that much hype as compared to Drake’s. Umm yeah no real strong opinion. Drake’s owl thing represents the Bohemian Grove which in turn = RICH PPL QUEER-NESS
      OHH Listen to Eminem’s “My Darling” ….Fuck the (Satanical) Industry

      DUMBASS SAYS: HAIRY SACK is talking illuminati blah blah blah

      HAIRY SACK! SAYS: You trust the artist you listen to right? Then TF

    88. “yep he worked with a white pop star trying to make a hit and failed while his fans try to discredit all his peers for doing the same”

      Robin Thicke wasn’t even a big star at that time. Kendrick went to Thicke and did that sell out song for more fans. It didn’t stop there. Now with Eminem, he’s made quite possibly the worst song ever. Big ears is a fraud.

      1. That Robin Thicke song wasn’t sell out at all and the Eminem song isn’t even a bad song. You’re being a hater. Kendrick ain’t a fraud, that’s your boy, Officer Ricky.

    89. “I’m so shook I think every and anybody who replies to me is just one person, donnis mac”

      I don’t care if you have your mom post. You wait for 1 or 2 people to disagree, then you pop up with your Spike Lee influenced Blu Ray commentary. The people you think have your back on here really hate your guts cause they know a coward when they see one. I had you crying since day 1.

    91. “Nobody said it was a hip-hop song”

      I was asking what that moron would call that collabo then. So Ross working with Thicke back when Thicke wasn’t a big name means he was a sell out, but Kendrick jumping on a Thicke song when Thicke was suddenly #1 wasn’t? KL totally sold out to get some new fans. At least Thicke was on Ross’s album, and it wasn’t even touted as a major single.

      1. And you contradict yourself again. Kendrick did not sell out at all, you idiot. Selling out would be him doing a song like Marvin’s Room or Hold On.

    92. “Selling out would be him doing a song like Marvin’s Room or Hold On”

      Kendrick’s got you blinded, cheerleader. When he goes into full R&B mode on his next album you’ll still be saying he’s street.

      1. Nope. You’re being an idiotic hater. And Kendrick ain’t going full R&B, that’s your Canadian princess Aubrey.

    93. If he’s not street, then what is he, super pillow soft mixed with incredibly passive? His sales aren’t good enough to just copy the same formula he used on Good Kid. He doesn’t want to turn into the next J. Cole, so he has to either be like Drake, or be like Dre and pretend he’s gangsta gangsta.

      1. And you’re making up bullshit again. Kendrick is more of a introspective rapper, not gangster/street or soft. His sales are fine and so are J Cole’s. He doesn’t have to be anyone, he just carves his own lane and he’ll prosper.
