    for like 18 years... Just check the sales and s---. Kanye has never been relevant as much as Em was except in the eyes of Kanye stans lol. But sure yeah Kanye has been relevant for so long with his latest albums barely reaching platinum status.

    Yeah yeah... Something f----- Em's Revival sales in US too so what ??. Idk but Kanye has never been more relevant than Eminem in overall. Sure I can give it to him for his release weeks and good fridays but when Em drops something he is a lot more relevant than Kanye ever was.

    Yeah ? Then how are u gonna explain that album only selling less in US ?? He is pretty much doing similar numbers to what he did with MMLP2 in UK and many other European countries...
    And let's not change the real argument here, yeah Kanye has never been more relevant than Eminem except for his album release weeks and good fridays...

    Em was once bigger than Kanye for less than Kanye's been big. Em is the more tallented artist but Ye is more immortal.

    No one can listen to the Slim Shady LP without cringing and having to explain to people that they're not sexist homophobic rapists, it's just a song. You don't have to be so careful with Ye songs, Em will continue to be more and more unpopular as time goes on, history will not be kind to him. Kanye on the other hand, will be in textbooks.

    Because it came out right after The Em Show, when he was still in a relative peak. He was still @ Kanye level at that point, 3 mediocre albums later and a lot of hype died. He hasn't been able to get it back since.

    1 - Lol. Kanye will never be on the textbooks.
    2- I don't really have to explain anything I listen to anyone at all. I don't cringe to any Em song like that.
    3- I'M not talkin' about talent or s---.
    4- U said EM was relevant for like 4 years and Kanye has been for 13 years. Even with boycotted Revival sales Em is one of the biggest artists in US (not even mentioning worldwide because his sales or popularity haven't even decreased ww at all) If u can say Kanye has been relevant for 13 years, that means EMinem has been relevant for 18 years (even when he was on hiatus his songs and albums were selling like crazy, I can still see some of his 12+ years old stuff being in the top selling spots in iTunes (. Cannot say the same thing for Kanye tho...

    You saying you could play Kim, FACK. Criminal, k--- You or The Way I Am in front of family or a new girlfriend, and not have to explain or be embarrassed? If that's true I have news for you, you're not normal. I don't want people thinking I'm mentally disturbed, so I don't just go around blasting an Em album if I'm having people over. Everyone loves a good Ye album.

    Em is the most dated hip hop of the 2000s.

    People these days are scraed to play that s--- out loud, some of th lyrics are really disgusting. Even em doesn't make music like that anymore because he knows how bad it is.

    I understand why someone might be embarrassed of playing Kim, Criminal, or k--- You. They're still brilliant songs, though.

    Lol. So u basically instead of being a man and admiting the truth and my real point to begin with, U try to change the whole point. That's good. Sometimes u have to be able to say yeah u are right but guess that's not the case for ya.

    First of all, everybody knows Eminem and actually knows about his s---. My father was a Em fan actually, he had that The Eminem Show album. My gf is a huge Em fan, kinda in love with the guy lol. Everybody with a brain can understand where EM is coming from. I can play The Way I Am in front of everybody and be proud because that's what a real artist sounds and make you feel like. I could play Kim to a man with good english and make him understand the actual storytellin' stuff. I can even play Fack if I really liked it but I don't. (btw it was a song made for fun, well I change the words to some songs to all kind of f----- up s--- and sing them for fun, so yeah the fact that he made a song like that is not strange but the fact that he released is pretty strange.) Because I'm me. Why would I g,ive a f--- about what anybody has to think about me ? I'm not normal for listenin' to EMinem ? Well, then I don't wanna be normal, it sounds boring anyway. Btw, normal ppl don't listen to Kanye neither. EMinem is the most dated hip hop of the 2000s and yet he can still be on iTunes best selling charts with his songs like Lose Yourself after 15 f---in' years.

    Just stop it you're emberassing yourself with those ignorant comments.

    He's irrelevant because it's embarrassing to call yourself an Eminem fan in 2017. I say that as a fan of his.

    I swear to god u r stupid... I have been giving thousands of facts and u still standin' behind ur stupid claim and yet finally find a one thing to back it up. There are 1000 statistics that Eminem is better than Kanye at and yet u go there and find one of the few exceptions. Pathetic. Dude I'm done with u. I hate Kanye fans because they basically the most ignorant guys ever. I have never seen a big Kanye stan that actually can accept the fact that Kanye was never bigger than Em ever. Not even in 2017.
