He's been putting out weak albums for years and still put up big numbers. What makes this time any different? Unless people are finally starting to realize that he fell off.
EMINEM PROJECTED TO SELL 280K-300K; G-EAZY 155K; JEEZY 40K FIRST WEEK
- Thread starter 666 ReVeNGe 666
- Start date
He's still had catchy pop songs though. The last one had Berzerk which his fanbase really liked and Monster which was pretty much a smash

the lead single didn't hit with people.
Every first single Em had, forced or not, hit big
My Name Is, The Real Slim Shady, Without Me, Lose Yourself, Just Lose It, Crack A Bottle, Not Afraid, Berzerk
all those songs were big hits
Walk On Water? not so much.
On top of that, people expected the hit single to be something forced but then the album would have heat. Word of mouth in 2017 spreads much faster than it used to, and it got around to people that this album was not that good. This album won't have legs going forward.
Jigga did less first week than Em but at least Jigga had that built in deal with Sprint and critical acclaim. Em before you know it will sell less than TWO Post Malone albums

young, white, casual hip hop fans aren't checking for eminem in 2017 like they were in 2010. nobody wants to hear eminem yelling poop jokes in a robot voice when they've got relatively listenable artists like g-eazy and post malone

Marshall Mathers LP 2 did like 750k fw
So was that all off being the sequel to his best album
Rap God also connected a lot more than that seater song. Both albums trash tho

How exactly did Eminem lose ?
Poor rollout by Interscope
Very little promo by Eminem
No hit
Not much radio play
Attacked his fan base
And still sold 300k.
Saying "people are not checking for Eminem" is just stupid.....If Eminem never went at his fan base,he would have sold 600k+....If he also had a hit record to coincide with the release of his album,he would have sold 750k-1,000,000

Make Em Say Ughh ... Silk da Shocker
I don't remember Berzerk or Crack A Bootle being that big

Crack A Bottle went #1 on the Hot 100 with no video
Berzerk was a top 3 hit. The Monster just happened to be a much bigger hit than that one.
EDIT: and we were into Rap God too much to wonder how Berzerk was doing
