To paraphrase, er someone...

"You 42 year old has-been ****... you're too old, let go it's over, nobody listens to Shady"

Well to me quantity does not equal quality. Who the hell cares who he's out sold.

He's like Shell Necklaces, Parachute Pants & Trucker Caps a relic of the early 2000's.

The list mentioned there is missing one thing. Eminem has never harmed anyone. He doesn't do anything to anyone, it's not like Jimmy Saville or the evil bankers putting people out their homes. Music is entertainment. It shouldn't influence anyones real life.


Look at this forum. I can only imagine most of you are between 16 and 25. No offence to you all, but your Ed Sheeran's and La Roux's, they're fine, even your Lady Gaga's are fine, they're harmless singers but they're not on the same level as an Eminem. If they were that big a deal they would be selling 10's of millions of records but they're not, because no one cares about them on that scale.


Here's a much better way of representing this music forum. When it comes to the Lady Gaga's and Ed Sheeran's, La Roux's, Lily Allen's of the world......people would rather download their music for free which is easily done.


When it comes to Eminem, people, in their millions, have no problem, PAYING MONEY for the music. There's your difference right there. That's a fact Dee. Eminem's fans PAY MONEY FOR HIS MUSIC. They speak with their wallets. He is the 16th top selling artist of all time and he's only been selling records for 16 years. You know what relic is? Half the other people on that list that have been making music for 30, 40, 50 years. Those are relics. Not a man that's only 42 and is already 16th on the list. What about the artists above him like MIchael Jackson and Abba and Celine Dion? They've been kicking about a lot longer than 16 years, those are the relics and even then it's mostly greatest hits albums.


I think what really sticks in some people's throat is that the world, the music buying public buy and large don't care about current music. It's not good enough to pay for. They'd rather get a free mp3 from a google search than go and buy the CD/Vinyl. It must really anger a lot of you young people that someone like Eminem in 2014 holds such a command over the music industry and all these smaller artists that try their best still don't get the recognition you think they deserve. People vote with their wallets. If millions of people are paying money for your music that means they care. I'd say 150 million singles and albums sold in 16 years is a pretty big indication people care about you.

I don't mean to come across stupid, but what reason is he giving to punching Lana Del Ray in the face twice in that song?

To get attention.

I read this whole thing and the only thought that comes to mind is this:

So what?

Eminem trashes everyone in raps, why are y'all surprised?
Or has everyone forgotten about this?

Me too. What do his sales have to do with people finding his comments a bit sick.

Are you like some automated bot created by Shady Records or some sh*t?

Are you 19 years old with your room covered in Madonna and Lady Gaga posters telling the world that Jesus loves you and I'm proud to be the way i am lol. I was born this way and my family love me for who i am! Good grief.

So what if he said he'll punch her in the face. Life goes on. He's the man paying Interscope's bills. Mariah Carey soon shut up after that. There was nothing else she could say if he had all her voicemail messages and admitting premature ejaculation onto her belly lol. Eminem has no shame in doing that, most men would do that. I wish he had told us about areas in her house no one else knows about.

No. I don't like either of those artists and I don't give a crap who loves me for me or whatever crap Lady Gaga is spouting this week. I happen to like some of Eminem's music, though tbh I'm more of a Kanye/Jay Z man myself. I just really don't give a single crap about how much money Eminem has made or at all agree that only people who have earned more more than him have the right to slag him off. What a warped, warped viewpoint. Ha, here you are slagging off other deluded, obsessive fanboys when you're the only one coming off like that in this thread. Get a bloody grip on reality.

Now Homer points out I am a huge LDR fan and that apparently protects her with blinkers on. If I am prone to doing that I however tend to do that with a bit mild humour and self depreciation.

hazydayz, could do well to incorporate some of that in his own comments. I am sure you are a good kid really but you are not doing yourself any favours here. I'd stop now if I was you. Letting your arguments descend into what I presume is a homophobic insults about a 19 year old gay lad obsessed with Madonna & Gaga and is proud Jesus loves him is embarrassing.

If you seriously believe in insults like that you are sadly proving the stereotype that Eminem's current fan base really are just homophobes.

Truly yours
Your Biggest Fan
This is Stan

Decent rapper but I don't think the bloke is right in the head. Sometimes comes across as plain weird in interviews and seems to have a disturbing hatred for women in general (Britney, Mariah, Aguleria, his Mother!, his Ex Wife...) Even if these women have wronged him in some way, his hatred still comes across as just plain mental.

His Stan's seem to blindly defend everything he does as well, which makes the whole situation even more ridiculous.

I'm on the right track baby i was born to Vogue!

Look at this classic pic.

She turns round and he looks right ahead. There's nothing personal behind anything Eminem says. It's just fun. When you have sold the numbers he has and continues to sell you can make music just for the sake of making it. That's all it is. Eminem is already at the top of his game, he has nothing else to prove. It's like 50 cent says, the best golfer in the world is a black man and the best rapper is a white man. Eminem can do. It's game over. There is no more competition for him to squash.

Your obsession with Lady Gaga has got to stop and it's irrelevant to this thread. No-one cares.

Eminem being at the "top of his game" (while looking like a clapped out methhead) has little to do with the reason why this thread was made. His threats against women may have flown under the radar when he was a big star, but the climate is different now. It just makes him look more than a little bit pathetic. Feel free to wall me with his sales receipts - it is your stock answer on here it seems.

Hilarious. Lana would genuinely kick the sh*t out of that puny (ex??) addict.

My obsession with lady gaga? lol I can list at least 6 DS members off the top of my head that really ARE obsessed. She's a joke. I only mention her to ridicule her and her ridiculous fanbase. She loves us! My room is dedicated to her! She says I've not to change because i was born this way!


Oh Trevor the reason this thread was made is because Digital Spy Music forums is full of teenagers and men in their early 20's that think they have something to say, they think they know what they're talking about and they're a little erm......butt hurt.....that things aren't going their way for their favourite artists.


If only Lana Del Rey was true to herself. If only she hadn't already tried a music career twice under two different names already including her real name. If she only admitted her daddy is a millionaire. If only there was a shred of truth of her REAL life in her music and what she tells her fans.


Eminem on the other hand has no such shame. He doesn't mind letting you know about his daughters, or his adopted daughters or his wife or Mother. He doesn't mind telling you that he prematurely ejaculated semen all over Mariah Carey's stomach. At 42 there is nothing he wont share with his fans. It's the people with secrets you need to worry about. What are they hiding?

Plesae don't feed the troll-bot, people....

Awful artist who plays to a chav audience.

Rapping = talking fast and as such, I don't recognize it as a form of music.

Lyrical genius? LOL hardly Shakespeare is he? 99% songs about his mum shagging about and how angry he is about it, again playing to a certain audience.

It wasn't his rapping that sold lots of records either. Take Stan for example, that blew up because of the Dido chorus. It's the best part of the song...but his audience would never admit that in public as they'd be ridiculed by their mates

He was also responsible for the gang culture crime wave at the turn of the century because every little chav wanted to be like him.

I was so very pleased when he and his merry band (G-Unit) of men disappeared off the scene.

I will say this though, Dr Dre is a bonafide money making genius. He made the whole Eminem brand and gets people to pay £150 for a pair off headphones. He knows how to play people for a buck that's for sure.

Rapping not a form of music and thats were your credibility on music forums plunges to the bottom of the list, after that little gem there is no point discussing music with you.

x 100. The best comment in AGES!

I'm tired of his old schtick. He's had his day, he was slating moby for going on when he was 36. How old is eminem now?

She even responded to Eminem. I agree about her rubbery lips too.

I don't dislike Lana. I love these videos of her. It shows her as a very real person.

It appears his fans are not the only "stupid" people from reading this garbage .

Is calling Dr Dre his boyfriend your attempt at insulting him ?
How often do you use homophobic remarks to insult people ?

like i said - Garbage
