    But nobody is giving examples of HOW Eminem was bigger? Yes he sold more albums but radio didn't play him. Give me an actual argument and ill accept it. Literally nobody has a rebuttal or an example of how Eminem was more popular.

    Half of you were like 6 years old lmao. Stan googles and nostalgia have you all tripping

    Literally the only factual argument you can make is sales, and Em blows Drake out of the water in that department.

    Thats all we need lmao your argument is literally 'Drake has more twitter followers'. We can also talk about pop culture influence, also don't know where you got your radio point but its pretty known Eminem was all over the radio.

    That line was referring to what he was saying being censored on the radio singles. I like how when I bring up facts you call me a stan, stop sucking Drake's d-ck you whor-

    No dude. If radio played him he would have had number 1 songs before Lose Yourself. You have no idea what you are talking about.

    Explain to me how he could sell so well and never have a number 1, if radio played him as much as you claim?

    You are wrong. Realise it.

    You're saying more sales = less radio... are you r-----ed

    In the song you referenced he even brings up how his music was so popular at the time it was played on non-rap stations. This isn't even really an argument its basic

    Drake is no near as big/popular as Eminem ever was tbh.

    I'm from central Europe and i didn't hear that mothefucker on the radio in a while. Eminem is outdated asf but they still play him.

    Maybe Drake is more popular than Eminem for 16 yo teenage girls with twitter fingers.

    No idiot. I am saying charts rely on SALES and RADIO PLAYS when Eminem was popular. You can be the highest selling artist of the decade and not chart a single number 1 hit from your 3 biggest albums. How? No radio plays. End of discussion

    He had 3 top ten hits before Lose Yourself. Thats like saying Jay never got any radio play in his prime because his first number one was in 2009. s---t yourself

    3 top 10s lmao check Best I Ever Had numbers that was Drakes first single and first number 1 on hip hop billboard. Number 2 overall and that's off a mixtape

    Don't forget Drake also had Wayne and Young Money, an infinitely more popular mentor and record label than Dre and Aftermath

    so you're using charts, which is a form of sales

    eminem dominates drake in sales

    eminem wins by your logic
