    Considering that he's likely gonna sell more than 'more life', I don't think he's washed up yet, maybe in a few more years.

    More life isn't an album, it's a playlist of songs

    Pretty sure "What a time to be alive" is platinum while h---: The Sequel is just gold?

    Well look who eminem did the album with. Someone that doesn't have mainstream success. Mean while Drake and future are big mainstream artists

    I wasn't following Em when he came out because I was too young but tbh just from some old articles and those old yt videos you can see that topping that kind of hype for any rap artist will be hard

    Kinda moving the goalposts with this rebuttal. Slim Shady LP reached #2, but Dr. Dre didn't give Em nearly the boost Wayne gave Drake at the time as far as debuts go.

    I believe the argument was who was bigger... Em really took off after Forgot About Dre. And Drake has never had an album that had the impact of MMLP or Eminem Show or a single the way Lose Yourself did.

    You actually added to my point of me saying eminem had more competition. The only reason slim shady LP went #2 is because TLC dropped fanmail on the same day. Now that I think about it whose stupid idea was it to do that? TLC was already established with a few albums in. Anywho that's b.s Drake had a bigger impact than eminem with one dance and hotline bling lmao I'm so kidding

    Debuts get released when they get released, especially back then. Em didn't come out the gates with the kind of buzz today's artists have because artists didn't have the ability to build their own buzz the way they do now. So I don't think Interscope was worried about Em not debuting at #1. In fact, they were probably more than happy with a #2 debut.

    I'm well aware eminem didn't have crazy buzz, but would've been smarter to put the album out at another time

    Well when you think about it Kanye didn't really have a buzz for too long don't get me wrong My beautiful dark twisted fantasy was dope, but kanye run only last for like three to four years 2004 to like 2007, which is when his first three albums dropped, and even tho I can't stand Drake, but can't lie Drake started getting a buzz in like 2009, and he's only gotten bigger since, so I'm definitely saying drake has, or had more popularity in his prime than Kanye. Even tho Kanye said bush hates black ppl
