Flawless execution.LOL @ Eminem not being talked about outside of the Internet. Dude is one of the biggest stars in music, yet people reduce him to underground/internet sensation status. He gets coverage from the same Hip Hop outlets as Wayne, Drake, Jay Z, and Nas. He also gets covered by the same outlets that cover Gaga, Katy Perry, and Rihanna.
Dumbass thread, if Eminem is a "pop" star what is Lil wayne and drake? 
MMLP Is a straight HipHop album and went diamond. Just because he is popular don't make him a pop star.
Drake is much more 'pop' than Eminem is. Megastar could be used here selling out 90k stadiums worldwide, no other hiphop artsist can do that

@adonnis - pull up, there's refreshments
Wow . . I'm shocked. I was just thinking about making this thread. He's talented rapper, but as far as his career, how he was signed and how he's been groomed and handled . . . that's pop

You're missing the point on some emotional shyt. I touched on this in another thread days ago. Eminem is a pop star, not a rap star. I know that this is a hard pill for a lot of melanin challenged folk to swallow, but black people don't feel Eminem's music like that. He simply doesn't get play on black radio, in black clubs, or in the street like that. Eminem's core audience has always been the pop crowd not the rap crowd and he's embraced that. That's why he and his team don't even send records to urban radio anymore. The rap crowd saw dude as a novelty and fell back over 10 years ago.
Now cats like Wayne, Drake, Kanye, ad Jay are pop stars too, but they're also still rap stars because their music still resonates with the rap/urban/black audiences. You can't be in a black(urban) hiphop environment where music is being played and not hear those guys.
I don't know what he is, I've never heard/listened to him. Don't quote me again unless you've got something worth reading to say.By that logic Tech n9ne is what...a pop star'?
@ don't quote me again, ridiculous. You make me wanna quote you for no reason, just so you can stop taking yourself so serious.Pardon me, I figured that since you were such a fukking expert on RAP music it would be safe to assume that you'd know who the most successful independent artist is in the area of your expertise.
Either way, he's one of the top 3 touring artists coming in right behind cats like Jay and kayne as of recent without getting much play in clubs or on radio, urban or otherwise. Is he somehow not a rapper/ "rap star" because nobody is shaking their ass to his music at the juke joint?
