Feb 15, 2021 I think if he would at least drop a pre album track like Despicable or a feature right around the surprise drop he would get peoples attention first. I know many people who weeks after side B released didn’t even know it had came out. And these are actual fans not just casuals That being said I’m enjoying the product regardless so I could care less about sales or buzz
Feb 15, 2021 It will be different than MTBMB/Kami but Discombobulated was also very different from them both. Next album 100% wont be "proving the haters wrong" theme
Feb 15, 2021 Thank f---in christ lol I like kamikaze and mtbmb but you can't have another album talking about the same s--- cause it's gotten stale imo
Feb 15, 2021 He technically is independent. Sort of. He releases his s--- on his own now, but offers exclusive license to Interscope. Been that way since either Kamikaze or Side A. Can’t remember
Feb 15, 2021 I confirm that Eminem is a member of this forum and he replies to some messages either here or in his album. he reads everything that is written here. and he is not worried about what they mainly write on social networks or other sites. he is only worried about what they write on this forum.
Feb 15, 2021 This means that some artists become collectibles regardless of the quality of the material. A lot of people still collect Eminem, even if they don't like his new music. It's just a kind of collectible, like Star Wars cards or something. B.o.B didn't become collectible, so people didn't buy his CDs, but people listened to his songs online. I remember that I listened to his debut album many times online, but I did not buy CD with his album and many others did the same.
Feb 15, 2021 I think 50 Cent should do the same thing, give license to Interscope to distribute music. 50 Cent lost almost all the promo that he had even in 2012, after leaving Interscope.
Feb 15, 2021 not everyone decides to go down the path of collecting artists. people collect those who are close to them in outlook on life. Eminem has a very strong biography, so people collect him. I haven't seen powerful biographies of many popular artists these days, so people don't buy albums anymore.
Feb 15, 2021 I didn't say it was impossible. It's a non sense work to do for him. Just as you say he never learned that, he doesn't have to take his time for those things. He is already comfortable with his label. If you can sell as much as Em does, sure you wouldn't have anybody tryin' to tell you what to do in the label.
Feb 15, 2021 I still buy cds, just Em's, but it feels stupid these days. By the time the CD arrives, I've listenened to the album so much, and I don't even play them anymore. Sometimes I think about saving the money, but then he drops and I buy them again lol
Feb 15, 2021 people collect Eminem CDs, Eminem videos, Eminem merchandise and even Eminem photos. Eminem is a collectible.
Feb 15, 2021 The last Eminem CD that I bought was a Relapse. Since Recovery, I have been listening to all of his albums online through Spotify. The last digital album I bought was MTBMB, I didn't buy Side B because Google Play closed and I don't even buy digital albums anymore.
Feb 15, 2021 No such thing as too far. It's art, it's vocals. Too far is actually killing Kim, not yelling. He broke ground, As great art should.
Feb 15, 2021 I know. I was talking about myself, and how dumb it feels to buy cds in 2021. Sometimes I want to stop XD but my Em CD's collection keeps calling. But I guess one day I'll get rid of them, and the bigger it gets, the dumber I will feel.
Feb 15, 2021 I wouldn't have given the song a pass tbh. Interscope a bit wild for that. She almost killed herself. Imagine if she had done it.
Feb 15, 2021 I know. But it could have ended pretty bad. The label just wants money. It's like Chiraq artists, they let them do anything cause they know it will bring drama and attention.
