    How many records has Kanye sold?

    How many records has Eminem sold?

    This is objective. Men lie, women lie, but numbers never lie

    MBDTF came out in 2010 and has currently sold 1 million copies

    In the very same year Eminem released Recovery which has gone on to sell 16 million copies with two diamond selling singles from the album

    Ill put it this way, Kanye has a higher rating than Eminem but Eminem has sold more. so if you think thats how we determine skill, ''One Dance'' sold more units than any Eminem single ever in less than 2 years, so I guess drake is the greatest hip hop artist of all time.

    I think he's objectively somewhere in the middle.

    While I think some people don't give him the credit he deserves, there are his teenaged stans who go completely overboard with stupid memes etc that make people hate Eminem.

    U gotta remember bro aside from his teenage girl fan base liking him I guess even worshipping him for his classic the type of music your average person loves like

    Mockingbird
    Hailie's Song
    Stronger Than I Was
    Beautiful
    Cleaning Out My Closet
    Lose Yourself
    Not Afraid
    Superman
    Love The Way You Lie
    Spend Some Time
    Space Bound
    Going Through Changes
    Twisted
    Headlights
    The Real Slim Shady
    Like Toy Soldiers
    My Name Is
    The Hills Remix
    Without Me

    They also love him so much because of his looks so that is why to u to look at it from their perspective rather than saying they go over board. They love the catchy/emotional/melodic/pop records listed above that is their type of music. But then also are attracted to him looks wise

    I just find Kanye's music boring and dull. I can't vibe to any of his songs or relate to any of his songs

    But i'm not a hater I can admit The College Drop Out is a classic album and Late Registration and Graduation are solid albums

    I can admit he used to be a good producer from 2001-2007 and that his flow is amazing and that he has good word play

    I can admit he has some really good freestyles too

    Definitely under-rated at the current time.

    There's also a racist undercurrent to some of the criticism. The white boy gets much more criticism than peers of his generation, such as Snoop, Game, Jay Z and Kanye, none of whom are anywhere near as good as they used to be either.
