Prove 70% of rap albums are bought by whites. If not, nothing to discuss. It makes much more sense to say whites buy 70% of music total, but 70% of rap albums? Nope...and no one has proved me wrong yet.

White people love rap, you think 50 sells 10 million copies if it wasnt for other races supporting him? why didnt white people support Mac Miller or MGK? You dont become a super star by appealing to black people only, cause we dont want to support music. The decline in sales over the years is due to the decline in music in general, everybody dont know how to download music, rap isnt as interesting anymore because the majority of the artist dont know how to make music for anybody outside of the hood or club

look you are not understanding what we are saying... It was said that EM is only selling good because he is white. Well thats BS, based on that logic Mac Miller, MGK, and Macklemore would all be multiplat.. but i think macklemore was the only one (I dont even consider him a rapper, but for arguments sake) because in order for a rapper to be successful black or white you have to have fans outside of your demographic. you really think the majority of the 10 million units of GRODT was bought by us? like middle America dont heavily influence anything that is extremly successful.

No, you're not understanding. My original post was about the majority of rap buyers (70%) being white, not about Eminem's sales. Yes, because he's white he's pulling those numbers (something he himself admits) but that's not the point of what I'm saying. Keep up...

Cacminem is hip hop? yet The GOAT Drizzy gets called an R&B artist and disregarded as a hip hop artist

Drake is R&B half the time, he just happens to be a good rapper, or you could say he is a Hip hop artist with a heavy R&B influence, point is atleast you can make a reasonable argument about that. Em is hip hop, mostly because he is better at it than your favorite rapper and he knows it. you just mad he did what most cant.. you should applaud EM just like you applaud drake, just cuz you dont prefer his style doesnt mean you cant respect em.

I see a lot of angry people in here. Em being a success shouldn't make you so pissed off. It's kinda of pathetic. I would say the same for people that were mad at Jay-Z and Drake doing well. It sounds like the whining of a bunch of little kids no matter how it comes out. You don't like the artist? Fine. But, don't give me that "it's white support" argument. No shyt it's white support. That's how it is for every major act. Even in the 1990s, do you think Dre, Snoop and 2Pac were seeing those numbers strictly from "the hood?" Hell no. There was bootlegging back then from some guy selling outside the barbershop for $5.00. They crossed over and had young white kid's ears. Why do you think they were the center of controversy back then? It was hardcore Hip-Hop that caught the ear of kids in Middle America and mommy and daddy didn't like that. So the point I'm making is get your heads out of your collective asses.

preach!! these dudes are racist

why are some nikkas in here mad tho

eminem is hiphop it's not like it's a fukking KKK member who dropped the album

they quick to call somebody a c00n around here while at the same time being ignorantly racist... Now if macklemore sell like this, and is considered hip hop, then we have an argument

 

[Shogun]

what's funny is a lot of black people fukk with eminem too especially around the D.....the coli's like the only place where its all out hatred for dude . Personally i haven't bought one of his albums since the first MMLP but I ain't hating more power to him

I been to two Eminem shows in my life and it was mostly black people. Go figure...

 

[Spurs91]

come on man, you are living in denial if you don't think the increased album sales don't have anything to do with his skin color...Jay or Drake did not sell that much out the gate and you know why

All them Jews been buying Drake albums tho

 

[92Inc]

Sons life done been a open book for so long that muthafu*kas can tell you more bout Marshall Bruce Mathers III than they can they own family members n sh*t. Wikipedia that fool. This the man who gave the world the word “Stan” to describe a nikka that stans. Before “Stan” there wasnt even a word for stannin b…thats how serious it is. "

 

[Beibaveli]

the majority of these 700k are not hip hop fans. they dont listen to any hip hop other than eminem. thats why its hard to take these numbers seriously. these people are rednecks, neckbeards, racist cac southerners, klan members etc

em is not a factor in hiphop at all. he's irrelevant. this album or these numbers dont change a thing.

this site disgusts me sometimes

Right, I have never seen a more creative group of haters in my life. They will spin a sunny 75 degrees day into being bad because the sun burns your skin and blinds you if you look directly into it or because the good weather brings the bugs out.. these some miserable as people on here

 

[LionofJudah]

These CACs are red as hell right now...

 

[havoc]

The Rap God came through and crush the Billboards You guys shouldn't be mad at Em He has been doing numbers since his first mainstream albums ..

 

[Rico]

Let's say maaaaaaybe... 85% of white people buy his albums and he sells 5 million albums. that means 4.25 Million albums are sold to white people. That also means that 750k non-white people buy the album. If J. Cole or Kendrick Lamar sell 1 million and white people only buy 30% (far fetched) then Eminem is still selling to more people of color. The reality is he sells more to people of color than most people sell total.

 

[director_of_bands]

Drake was all over the place too. FIFA and doing all those ESPN shows and all the music networks too.

reminds me of the promotion for Drake's first album... who else would ever get this type of promotion for their FIRST album????...

 

[Rico]
