Ok, what? Your point is that most of rap sales aren't coming from whites. I see more whites listening to Drake than anyone, especially white broads.
Eminem on pace to do 1.3million first week, wow

And guess what? In terms of content, he has worse content. How many rappers nowadays are talking about raping women and beating them up?
Looking at his past songs, his so called "variety" is based on juvenile content that would resonate with rebellious 12 year old suburban kids. You sound just like the white people talking about how "he talks about real topics" when his content is more absurd and insensitive than what most rappers out here put out.

The OK is I'm not going to continue arguing the point. I said what I said in this thread and I stand behind it. You grew up in the 'suburbs' and probably still live there, so of course you're going to hear CACs listening to Drake. Quote me again when you can prove that 70% of rap consumers are white.

Why do people want Em to do low numbers? I don't understand the hate at all. Accept the fact that Eminem will and always has outsell your favorite rapper. He can release a CD full of random noises and outsell your favorite rapper. The man has every fukking audience that buys his albums - whites, blacks, teenagers, radio audience, and I bet more adults buy Em's albums than any other popular rapper.

I didn't make it up. And there's no Storrs where I live at, so I don't know who shops there. If you're not trying to debunk my original point, why are you replying to me?

He has worse content than rappers albums where every track = the next track? Drugs, sex, party...track after track.
How the fukk does he NOT talk about real topics? Look at Eminem's catalogue. He has a song for every sort of emotion and topic. If I Had, Rock Bottom, The Way I Am, Marshall Mathers, White America, Cleanin' Out My Closet, Sing For The Moment, Halie's Song, Till I Collapse, etc, etc and etc. Yeah man his conent is so juvenile and absurd.

Em is a clown. Not much else to say.

I guess I should have been more clear. I'm at UConn. Your original point was that whites didn't start listening to rap until the 2000's and my point is that this discussion of "who buys what" has been going on a lot longer than that.. As far as I've ever known, white people buy a ton of music and some of it is rap. They dwarf other races in population in this nation so why is it so hard to believe that they would be the majority of rap sales?
A song about his child? Been done. A song about hating his mother? How special. And tell me what he talks about in his other songs?
What was Big Weenie about? My First Single? Kill You? Kim? Drug Ballad? Amityville? Cum on Everybody? Fack? Rain Man? Ass Like That? Puke? Just Lose It?
I could keep going. His main content is juvenile. To argue otherwise is just being in denial.

Because common sense tells us otherwise (or it should). As someone stated earlier in the thread, white people who buy rap mainly buy the major stars, primarily the superstars of rap. The lineup changes ever few years, but this main concept stays true. If I ask the average white rap listener about AZ or Kool G Rap, they probably aren't going to know who the hell I'm speaking of. True, AZ and Kool G Rap don't sell much nowadays, but along with all the other rappers who aren't on superstar levels, they still release albums. Again, 24 million rap albums were purchased last year, yet not one album released in 2012 went platinum by year's end. If whites primarily buy only the hottest rappers out, how the hell are MILLIONS of rap albums who are not necessarily superstars also being sold without any new album going platinum? Blacks buy albums, but they also download like every other race on the Earth. People give whites WAAAAYYYY too much credit in a genre not even meant for them. If you don't get it after what i just laid out, not sure what to say. Like I stated earlier, whites DO purchase the majority of music sold (they have more genres rock, alternative, country, pop etc.), but that doesn't make them the main consumer of rap.

We know that anyone who got any kind of radio play whites were all over it. I'm not disputing your post because you are right about AZ and artists on that level... I've never met a white person who has an AZ album but I have met a few who have The Firm. Still, look at someone like Wayne... every white person on campus was listening to him, I wouldn't doubt if whites made up the majority of his sales.. I go out to NYC and I don't see people playin a Wayne album like that, a good percentage are whites..

This topic is hilarious. There is so much hate here simply because a man is white and will sell a ton of records. I bought the disc to support music I like. I like Rick Ross but after him saying cracker in one of his songs I can see the man is racist and will never buy one of his albums, and for anybody going to say Eminem is a racist because he said the N-word just shut up right now because his best friend was black as well as just about everybody he has helped make money and signed minus Yelawolf. Black racists of the coli...
