    You have my curiosity, but it seems an odd coincidence that the line "Lost your best friend from high school, your wife too" is about a falling out with both in 2005 and not Proof's death and Em's second divorce in 2006.

    Pyrex Revival didn't go viral

    Jul 16, 2019
    Yes, as was Careful What You Wish For. You can tell by his voice and the way he rhymes that they were from that era. Although I'm pretty sure they were like 2006-2007 tracks and were recorded for King Mathers, but obviously that album never released.

    Without releasing a project, Eminem is the best selling artist in the first half of 2019. The list of best selling artists so far:

    #1 Eminem
    #2 Lady Gaga
    #3 Chris Stapleton
    #4 Metallica
    #5 BTS
    #6 Imagine Dragons
    #7 The Beatles
    #8 Queen
    #9 Jason Aldean
    #10 Ed Sheeran

    And yet people say he is irrelevant...

    Who is the top selling artist of this decade? It would be interesting to see if he has potential of "Artist of the decade" for a second time in a row. If he has a chance you can bank on him being very active soon.

    I think I saw that he was sitting 3rd behind Adele and Taylor Swift from 2010-2018. Em was on like 12.1 million whereas Adele and Swift were over 20 million. Even still to be considered 'irrelevant' and still be in the top 3 selling artists of the last 10 years after being #1 the previous decade is still an achievement in itself.

    for the most part yes but there have been some gems dropped in that time period too. He has progressed as an artist but its not the best imo

    I mean he could have remembered wrong, but he discusses the song in depth in my interview. As far as I can interpret Eminem was really secluded around that time. Could have been 2006 potentially if he remembered wrong. Unfortunately I doubt I’ll get a follow up interview, I was lucky to get the first one.

    yeah, he hasn't been the same in a long time. but this isn't uncommon. there's plenty of legendary artists with several average or below albums in their catalog. this sort of downfall is inevitable if an artist puts out enough music

    - When I’m Gone
    - his songs on The Re-Up
    - a quarter of relapse
    - forever and drop the world
    - a quarter of recovery
    - airplanes II
    - a couple songs of HtS
    - bad guy fourth verse, evil twin
    - entirety of mmlp2 bonus disc
    - shady XV songs minus title song
    - southpaw songs
    - Believe
    - chloraseptic remix
    - kamikaze minus good guy/nice guy
    - k--- shot


    Decent amount of material. Everyone looking for everything to be perfect from him has to remember that even his classics had their flaws.

    I sometimes wonder if there is any artist that people focus so much on to find flaws (or reasons to defend a s-----y verse on the other hand).

    Kanye also fell off according to people and the Kanye stans also defend him whenever he drops average stuff. Same w other artists. Its normal.

    But w eminem its literally every word that gets nitpicked both positive and negative its hilarious. He's either terrible or amazing.

    The songs u posted say exactly what my opinion of him has been for years: hit or miss. Not terrible, not great, just average w very low and high points. But people, stans and people that -claim to- hate them can't move on and accept that he isn't 2001 m&m anymore

    Well because he only drops 2-3 singles per album to go viral but not many people buy his albums at all.

    I don't know if he is sitting on 3rd but Adele sold more than every Em album combined in the last decade with her average 25 album or 21 I'm not sure but I'm talkin' about the one with Rollin' In The Deep song. But she won't drop anything no more, even if she does, I doubt she can sell %5 of what she sold at that time... As for Taylor, she is as active as Em is so he doesn't have chance of passing her. Regardless, another big f--- off to the brainless dumbasses who claims Em sucks and irrelevant.

    As of December 19, 2017 only in the United States

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_artists_of_the_2010s_in_the_United_States

    Em is sitting 5th, Ed Sheeran is 3rd. The worldwide list I saw, can't find it though, had Eminem in 3rd place with Ed Sheeran in 5th

    Ed Sheeran might sold more than Em but he definitely didn't sell 20 millions in USA. Just checked quickly and he barely reaches 13 millions or smh like that but did the quick check on wikipedia so who knows how accurate is it. As for Em, don't they consider Recovery in 2010's too ? I mean it must have sold at least 5 millions by now, Just MMLP2 and Recovery alone must have sold at least 10 millions so I'm thinkin Em should be higher than 11.3

    Yeah this decade is counted as 2010-2019. Recovery would definitely count. His last decade plaque was for 2000-2009 and he got that a few months before Recovery released I'm pretty sure

    Where did you find this exactly? I'm not convinced that Em is #1, unless this is a joke.
