Royce Da 5’9 was seemingly in a celebratory mood on Tuesday (February 18) when he announced Eminem’s Music To Be Murdered By had been certified gold by the RIAA.
The Bad Meets Evil MC shared a photo of Shady holding a shovel and donning a fedora — in true Music To Be Murdered By form — with a single emoji in the caption, intending to illustrate Em’s global impact.
Royce contributed several songs to Em’s 11th studio album — “You Gon Learn,” “Darkness,” “Yah Yah” and “I Will.”
Music To Be Murdered By debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 following its surprise January 17 release. Three weeks in, it’s holding steady at No. 3 and is reportedly the first album of the year to sell over 500,000 units.
Eminem's 'Rap God' Hits 1 Billion YouTube Views
Em also made Billboard history with the release, becoming the first artist with 10 consecutive No. 1 albums in the chart’s history. He was previously tied with Kanye West at nine.
I’ve noticed Em albums in recent years have a load of media buzz when they release but literally nobody talking about any of the songs. Like I can’t even remember the last time an Eminem SONG had any buzz that wasn’t a diss track, and they only get shock value controversy attention, not acclaim.
Nowadays, no one songs get much buzz after initial release. Just because you don’t hear no one speaking about it in the media, don’t mean people not listening. In fact, his song that came out like 4 years ago, Rap God, just hit a Billion views on YouTube……. Sooooooooo. Yea.
By the way, the album fiya. Point blank! Well for HIP Hop fans and not mubble rap fans.
You wrote all of that, but did they say “people not listening”??
Teenage white girls listened to pop rap god. Everyone else listens to drake’s classics.
Drakeveli,
Everyone who listen to drake when they can not sleep.Drake is the only medicine who can help them sleep.
Most former hardcore eminem fans are today, his biggest critics. It doesn’t mean we don’t love hiphop, we just got sick of his decline, and new sound. He went pop.
Cus he cant make a hit anymore with out features. He only has sucess based on his name value. Meanwhile drake continues to dominate the charts.
First it’s no one mentions ANY songs then it’s not if it’s a diss track. Stop being choosy bro. Ems a lyricist. He isn’t big because he makes “songs”. Go listen to a singer it’s obvious his lane isn’t for you.
Ems not a fucking lyricist, that’s for a start, second off nothing I stated is untrue so hop off Ems dick and learn to read lil one.
I’ll be over here bumping some Elzhi, Pharaohe Monch, Black Thought and other legit lyricists.
Can u explain to me and i am willing to listen to you how is eminem not a lyrcist? The man has set some high bars over the years. He even have black thought on his songs? Did u even listen to him? I find this ignorance and hate
He’s not a lyricist, he has basic kindergarten level wordplays, he uses constant filler Barr’s in his verse just to maintain rhyme schemes, he’s metaphors are juvenile and his current punchlines are shit that was considered played 20 years.
He’s a rapper, nothing more, and literally any one can be a rapper.
Black Thought is a lyricist with multi layered metaphors and entendres throughout complex substantive content with top tier wordplay and punchlines.
Eminem is only considered a dope lyricist to people who think he’s spitting on the level of Elzhi and BT but people only think that because top tier lyricism is to complex for them.
Em raps for tween girls and teenage boys in their anx and rebellion stage of child development.
Black Thought spits for adults, and people above average intelligence.
Its obvious this little bitch is hurt. Noones changing this divas mind. All the artist he named fuck with Em. Whatever he’s got against dude goes a lot deeper.
while Elzhi, Pharaohe Monch, Black Thought listen to Em as a lyricist. kid sit the **** down
Because the mf is white dumb dumb let’s just be real u young dumb pill popping len silling mfs only wanna hear sum dumb mf sprung out on drugs check em stats the man sold how man records without having to say nigga or who fucking who bitch u silly mf rabbits dont even kno music all cause he dont have no hood beats n ain’t saying nigga this n bitch that dont make the man garbage u fake ass hood niggas just one minded
Feminem needs to lay off the plastic surgery. He’s got a MJ nose, Ellen Degeneres face and looks like a trans chick trying to become a guy. Wtf is up with this guy?
Sounds bit obsessed bruh. Caring so much about how another man looks.
Another man judging another man smh see y this generation full of gay mf
You are the gay one lol, if u think it’s gay to say a man is handsome or ugly, then you must be a scared closet homo. It’s not gay to recognize beauty on all living things.
Hahaha hahahha he just got gold now what a lame. Drake goes platinum in a week easy. Drake is the king of this rap shit. In 2020 drake outsells eminem every time. Drake has the rap game by the throat
Drake is a pop artist
Drake is a hiphop/R&b artist. Eminem is the pop one.
Drake has been the definition of a pop artist since his first hit! Drake surrounds himself with talented creators and he is a show man, simple as that. Im sure eminem has done the same in many cases but to act like drake is some kind of savior of the craft is just stupid. He is manufactured, the man started as an actor and an actor he has remained
More like you got Drakes dick in your throat….
Pusha T has entered the chat
U a dumb ass boy
This mf dont even write his own but yal b on this man D fr
Your boy, dr dre doesn’t write shit yet you dickride him and eminem
I tell u, torrey lane is doing better then punk ass drake
drake will never reach half of what em sold so how can u compare. also drakes sales are from streaming. em is relevant for more than 20 years
It took eminem’s lame ass a month just to go gold. Drake was near platinum with his last album in just a week. This is despite eminem making pop music. The darkness single flopped and godzilla only did well because juice wrld bodied eminem on that song. Drake is running all of music right now.
No he was not. You are an idiot
Drake,hahahahahah u and him are pieces of s#!t
Damn you must be in some pain with the way you be on drakes dick so hard fist of you wanna attempt to spit facts let someone who has the facts help you drake is a entertainer not a rapper so he already has no say in the house of hiphop he don’t t wrote his own shit second only angry single mothers and homosexuals like yourself listen to drake facts 3rd how did juice wrld body em when he didn’t Even have a verse he was on the chorus dumbass but i cant be mad at you you dont know what hiphop or rap is because you listen to wheelchair jimmy
i have no issues with your Drake hatred, but can you please learn what a run-on sentence and punctuation is. Your comment literally hurt my eyes to even read. Have a nice day.
Your comment hurts my eyes. Learn what punctuation is.
Y so many people respond to a troll as if it’s serious? Yall are gullible.
King of rap? Are you on crack or something? Do you know what rap is? Flow, bars, punchline, story telling. I would understand id you compare em with someone like nas andre3000 krs one etc but drake? Your dellusional
Yeah I agree. Drake might not sell as much, but at least he appeals to girls and gay guys! That’s why them clubs being bumping his music! Drake is the king of rap and teenage girl/gay men music.
In case you don’t know, thats how Eminem used to start his freestyle back in the day and no-one was feeling him at all. It wasn’t like on the fake 8 mile movie.
This dickless weirdo.. 500,000 wigga hoppers = 500,000 shit stains.. #2020wiggahopisdead…
Not bad for someone who did not do any promotion for the album. Eminem is a great rapper.
Eminem doesn’t market his music, yet….. that should tell you something about him.
Drake was world no 1 sleeping pill of all time.He can not even write and can not sing.He is most overrated, garbage, and thrash.Only people with no brain who eat shit thought Drake is better than Eminem.Even I can out rap Drake because he is worse rapper of all time.Em murdered him on his own show and song.Drakes bitches are jealous of Eminem.
Em like, yeaahh I still got it..!
This last Em album is ridiculous. If anyone says he isn’t one of the most talented lyricist ever, then they are simply haters…period. Listen to M2BMB and tell me his shit isn’t slapping. Lock It, Unaccommodating, Godzilla, Darkness, Farewell, No Regrets, and Marsh are all dope as shit. There isn’t a bad song on this album. You can like whoever you want, not everyone is going to agree on who the GOAT is, but recognize game and stop the hating. Silly how some MF can’t give respect where and when it’s do.
