Mar 24, 2017 It'll be interesting. That's for sure. If I'm wrong then I'm wrong. f--- it. It's only what I can kinda gauge at this point. It's pure speculation at this point but mate.... campaign speech, a s--- acapella freestyle went no 1 on iTunes in the US for 2 days did it not?? U don't think with streams and digtals these days.... em will smash?? Globally?? What we comparing to?? Views? More life?? Coz em will beat more life 1st week sales for sure.
Mar 24, 2017 Well I'm not sure that the official figures are yet in but quoted from xxl.com; 'Drizzy’s latest project is set to move between 500,000 and 550,000 equivalent album units in its first week' http://www.xxlmag.com/news/2017/03/first-week-sales-projections-drake-more-life/
Mar 24, 2017 Does your grandmother LIKE eminem? I'm sure your grandmother k ow who Hitler is, would you call Hitler popular? Come on man you are confusing recognition with popularity
Mar 24, 2017 but that comparison dont work here, when it comes to music... recognition is def. = popularity
Mar 24, 2017 No way. My dad knows who Eminem is but despises him. Like vanilla ice everyone knows him but would you say hes popular?
Mar 24, 2017 vanilla ice was popular as f--- in the early 90s lol your dad knows Em BECAUSE how popular he was and how he was everywhere...henc the real slim shady single
Mar 24, 2017 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
Mar 24, 2017 Like I said though, he was a polarizing figure and the question is about popularity and I think that is different to brand recognition. Was Eminem a more recognizable face in 2000 than Drake in 2016? Arguably. Was he as well liked by as many people? No way.
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 24, 2017 You are only recognised if you are widely popular. Doesn't mean the person recognising is a fan does it?
Mar 24, 2017 It is sad that people are going into depth on this question. It is without a doubt Em in his prime was far more popular than Drake. Despite being two different eras, Drake hasn't done as much or been as widely accepted as Em was in his prime. Maybe some people think this is taking away from Drakes popularity but it isn't. Drake is very popular. Just not more than Em in his prime.
