It's not crazy at all, 2001 was played on the radio hell of lot more then chronic ever was

Don't forget eminem fans were copping 2001 for his features

I was just looking at it from my perspective of what album I prefered

I hadn't considered the Em factor though. he's the clear winner on that list

Dre executive produces ALL Eminem albums, EM sales is payday for Dre

 

[MiC]

They were 2 great songs (and then a hook on "The Watcher") but I doubt Eminem being on 3 songs had a huge impact on the sales

 

[Mastamimd]

And that Dre album was anticipated like a motherfukker...after all the shyt that happened with Death Row and the Firm/Aftermath compilation bullshyt, this album was the make or break for Aftermath's credibility
