I'm old. I've lived through both eras. Eminem was in a different stratosphere than Drake ever will be. There's no discussion.

You are f---ing delusional if u think Drake or any other rapper can touch 2001 Eminem

Im not even talking about sales, Eminem is an actual reference in movies to describe that era

He wasnt just big, he was a movement

 

Mar 23, 2017

No rapper (u can easily debate artist after the 90s) has ever been as big as Eminem during his mmlp run

I dont think many kids nowadays can fathom just how big Eminem was. He was so big he carried over rap to countries that never f----- with it

like @Mano said before, i feel Eminem got so bad that people are actively trying to take away facts about his past

Eminem being the biggest rapper to ever do it is not up for debate..its not because i am a "stan"..but there are cold hearted facts about it

I'm a big fan of Drake. I hate Eminem. What I said still stands true. I said "much less" Drake because his peak popularity isn't touching Tupac, DMX, Nelly, 50 Cent or Lil wayne's let alone Eminem.

Judging by your avy you're just a confused, self-hating wigger who will ride Drake's d-ck til no end.

Tupac in 96, DMX in 98-99 were the closest. I think.

Actually you know what 50 Cent in the late 2002/first half of 2003 was the second biggest thing I've ever seen in my life.

em was way bigger since mmlp and with tes he blew up even more...
im not even from america and em was everywhere back then..
considering he dint had the internet, streams and whatever they have today to measure success...

I'm an old f--- so I can answer this without bias. However, it's really hard to compare the 2 since the eras were so d--- different. I would argue eminem was bigger in his prime because he would LITERALLY shut down Times Square New York City whenever he made an appearance on MTV and TRL (maybe this only happened once or twice and I'm misremembering, but nevertheless, it was often a s--- show over there when he made appearances). The entire Times Square would be shut down due to so many people and then MTV would PACK the studio with annoying kids who screamed their faces off for Eminem.

Aside from MTV, dude was all over the radio, he was on the local college hip hop stations, the generic pop/hip hop/rnb top 40 bs stations, AND he was being played on rock and roll stations. Drake has never had this cross over appeal like eminem.

Plus back then, we had real publications that were constantly printing stuff about Em. Rolling Stones, XXL, and the Source were probably the biggest "offenders" of this but also the gossip mags and s--- had photos of eminem all the d--- time. Everywhere you went, you saw this dudes bleached head on every single magazine rack and check out counter in every store in America. It was too much haha

I could also compare them musically, in terms of quantity and quality they released, how big an impact their label had in the game, how big their features changed the game, etc but I don't feel like getting into all that.

Drake is the biggest today, but I think if you're comparing prime popularity to prime popularity, eminem was way bigger, but that's mainly due to the era he blew up in, an era where MTV was (sadly and depressingly) a source of exposure for your favorite artists, numerous print publications using Em as a way to increase sales and as a result, you saw his face in every single store. And to top that off, every time you put on the radio at home or in your car, eminem Real Slim Shady was playing. You couldn't escape the dude.

Drake came super close to this phenomenon, but he's just a TAD bit smaller than how big eminem was when MMLP came out and changed the world.

Edit: Just for the record, I love Drake and the irony is, if I kept track, I think I listen to him more then Em these days.

ConspiracyGang when he enters this thread and gets to finally talk about ems popularity and its actually on topic:

 

Mar 22, 2017

Em= RapZilla
Drake = f---ing gay singing for h---s and girls

 

Mar 25, 2017

No they werent. Back in 2000 they were 5/5

 

Mar 24, 2017

Yes. It's the only reason he survived all the backlash from stuff like the racist tapes, homophobia and his raps about women

 

Mar 23, 2017

Eminem been doing it for a very long time and is still hugely popular. Drake is only popular because of those many "different" reasons...

Come on, Even Drake knows who's more "popular"

 

Mar 25, 2017

actually, im not sure if im going crazy but sales im seeing and not afraid and ltwyl counts

is recovery actually more popular than any drake album? LMFAO

dude i think it is

 

Mar 25, 2017

srsly look at drake sales



like the difference is so f---ing huge, i dont get how they dare to even speak back

and yes, you can still sell huge today...look at adele and swift

 

Mar 23, 2017

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.

Seriously @SIiK I'd just concede you're wrong to me and @Kon because before you know it ConspiracyGang is gonna enter this thread and this thread was literally tailor made for him and its going to be h--- for all of us
