Was 50 Cent bigger than Eminem during his peak

[Yellin E.I]

Drake shouldn't be included in conversations on bigger rappers

and if he is put an asterisk next to his name, most of his biggest records are pop songs.

Hes up there with the big rappers hes had alot of number 1s and big albums

50 had more hit songs and was selling more records than Eminem during the '03-'05 period. GRODT sold like 8 million copies. Encore sold 5.5-5.6 million copies, which is about the amount that Massacre sold.

Maybe close, but I don't think so. Em was the biggest performer in the world, sans MAYBE Michael Jackson. 50 was a superstar, but not on that level.

Black people don't listen to Eminem, FOH. How can he be the more popular artist when only one demographic likes him? 50 like Michael Jackson was universally liked. Not only were they universally accepted all races listened to 50 and still do not just trailer park bumpkins.

hell no not to me especially if were talking 8 mile eminem show

 

[SleezyBigSlim]

Yes because 50 had everyone rocking with him . Em has never had a real black fan base

The Eminem Show was Em at his highest peak. It might be debatable but we can’t ignore Em’s fan base boosting 50’s popularity. Along with Dre producing that monster beat for him.

at 50 being more universally liked than Eminem

Eminem fell off after TES and still went 7x and 5x platinum. That's what GRODT and The Massacre sold

50 was never bigger than Em

 

[iseetrolledpeople]

In Europe yes because he had Ems fanbase and new people.

 

[Suspicions]

Man yall really sleeping on when The Massacre dropped and went 1.1 million in a short week

Kiss barbecued that man and even he had to admit that shyt was insane. Em never did that. Em putting up more numbers in the long run tho

I read that in Kiss voice before I finished reading your post lmao

Wayne was never as Big as 50 was Jay Z was never as hot as 50 was either

Drake is bigger than Lil Wayne ever was

I actually don’t agree with Drake being bigger than Wayne ever was

Agreed. At least at their peaks.

Drake hasn't reached Wayne's peak tbh.

Wayne did those numbers and sales in the non streaming era.

And wayne set the most records.

I think he tried to say Drake was bigger because of international sales, I do agree that Drake is a bigger artist than Wayne ever was internationally. But Drake is only bigger internationally because of the social media age, dikkrides foreign countries, more pop sounding music and his relationship with Rihanna helps a lot

Oh I am speaking just of their impact and the music and shyt here lol

Social media made music way more international as well.

Easier for people to love through it real time like in the US
