    Of course it's a huge continent, so it goes either way : many hate it, many love it, many don't give a s---.
    Just watch the Migos concert in Nigeria, s--- was insane!

    i dont like eminem but i havent seen drake gather up 300 jews to dress like african americans (same attire as drake ) then perform 'will the real drake jewcunt plz stand up' on MTV so eminem wins, but i say Drake is the closest to touch the weir dlevel of fame that eminem reached

    well, I'm from Nigeria and of 3 of my close friends only 1 of them listens to American rap, the other 2 don't give a s---. Lagos is the commercial capital, so the reaction at the migos concert was expected, but anywhere else......

    Not to mention Drake's albums(the last few) don't leak. MMLP and TES leaked more than a month before the release and still did those insane numbers with physical copies.

    Anyways, this thread got boring quick. The weirdo d-ck riding wigger who tries to look like Drake has ducked me since I punked him on like page 8 and now we have some stupid b---- born in like 96 who's obviously been hit in the head with a d-ck too many times trying to tell us how popular Drake is and Eminem was.

    Let's make it clear.
    Eminem was the most popular artist in 00s.
    Drake isn't the most popular artist in 10s. He's less popular than Adele, Taylor and Bieber.
    So prime Em was bigger.

    This thread really blew up, comparing popularity I think 50 and lil'wayne are people you should be comparing drake to. Looking back at it, eminem's numbers are f---ing ridiculous. Being white obviously helped but none of the white rappers now are as popular as FUTURE ( macklemore? logic?) maybe people are used to seeing a white rapper.

    It was just the pop fans. Only a white guy could have appealed to pop fans in that way. He still wasn't the most popular popstar.

    I can confidently say in Nigeria( which is the most populous in africa) Eminem is more popular. Eminem was trending at the time of the rumored beef with drake and drake was SERIOUSLY clowned lol. Drake's popularity increased here when he jumped on the remix of a Nigerian song and also featured the same artist on 'one dance'. 'More life' is not really getting airplay here tho. Eminem sold out a stadium in south africa( I've forgotten the tour, was it rapture?). That said most Nigerians prefer their indigenous music 'cause it's full of rythm.

    But macklemore, logic, MGK are white? isn't drake a pop star now too? his singles now are far more poppy than 'my name is' or 'the real slim shady'

    Anyone who says Drake is either too young to remember how big prime Em was or is just a d-ck riding Drake stan. This isn't even close. Where's that Drake gif when he performed with Em and Wayne at the Grammy's where he looked like he was blowing a load on stage?

    Well eminem in his prime had number 1 movie, and oscar, number 1 single for 12 weeks straight, number 1 album and soundtrack, and this all happened in 2002, so I can definitely say eminem without being bias. This was only at eminem 3rd album release as well and his 3rd classic, which drake Still doesn't have

    lose yourself definitely wasn't pop and definitely didn't come out around his forth studio album that's unless you're counting infinite as his first. Also you mentioned eminem only had Cd and radio to worry about, which isn't true eminem was around a bunch of great artists, and I'm not just talking rappers. What comp does drake have future, big Sean, Kendrick, Ross, etc mean while eminem had jay, Dmx, nas, Kanye west, and a lot more heavy hitters
