    hmm... weird!

    an independent album released with little to no buzz from an artist that had little to no following is one of his lowest selling albums?? f---, that's odd.

    That's true.. Infinite is such a masterpiece and I bump it everyday.

    The fact it never sold massively globally is because of em's (almost null) popularity in the game and also because of its poor production. The equipments he used to record infinite weren't of nice quality. But lyrically as a whole album I would definitely say infinite is his best album. Every song in it is a masterpiece.

    Relapse never sold much because of his accent which is considered poor for it. Though for me that accent fits right with the kinda vibe relapse gives and I have no issue in that. Also considering relapse (as a whole) his lyrical masterpiece would be really hard to say. It have lots of nice songs like Deja Vu, Insane, Music Box, Medicine Ball but it have bad songs too. It have more bad songs than good ones so people like to bump only few of them. (I've figured this out by witnessing my friends what album they prefer to bump and also to few other people)

    This is my opinion tho I can be wrong

    Sales do not matter. All that matters is if you can relate to his music.

    Sales does matter. Nobody wants to be a broke a--- rapper. Even if he doesn't talks about money doesn't mean he doesn't want it. He said he didn't wanted to give Hailie the kind of life he lived. So yeah for that he have to work and earn maximum money he can (through legal way tho). Money matters for every person even if he/she doesn't mentions it.

    I wasn't talking about the artist. Of course sales matter to an artist. But I was talking from a customers stand point. LIKE US!

    Well obviously i relate to his emotional music i relate to The Eminem Show and Recovery albums and his emotional songs from his other albums

    I do not relate to Infinite or Relapse besides Beautiful, Deja Vu and Careful What You Wish For

    Relapse lyrics are kinda s--- most of the time. Infinite is definitely better than Relapse but still not more lyrical than MMLP SSLP ,The Eminem Show or The Marshall Mathers LP 2. Maybe even Recovery...
