      @Nobody-br1rq Před 7 lety +88

      Q Smooth but it's a double album (1 sale =2) though therefore it only needs to sell 5 million copies for it to be considered diamond that number is still high though

      it's technically cheating because it's a double album - every double album is actually sold as 2 units because each cd counts as 1 unit. So it should have half of those sells.

      +ogbmt yh but he still kind of had to answer his albums politically eg he didn’t really think about his answers that much but on the spot, AND I’m not saying or assuming that these albums aren’t his genuine choices or even the right ones for him objectively or subjectively speaking but still you kind of felt like they were all the popular safe answers giving it to 50 over OutKast bc OutKast aren’t even culturally active anymore, Biggie over Beatie boys bc the mainstream would never accept it, em over nelly bc he has more stans, then biggie over em bc it’s more acceptable an again for Tupac over biggie.

    • @jules11788
      @jules11788 Před 4 lety

      @Battle Wizzard Those are all valid points, I'm only saying that The Eminem Show is an album where I don't ever have to hit the "skip" button over a song. Another album that would be in that category for me would be "421, the Day After" by Method Man. Or "The Pain Collector" by Vinnie Paz, or "Daytona" by Pusha T. But yes, you're right, you can't compare different eras because the art form of hip-hop gets better and more complex as time goes on (at least for real rappers, I'm not counting mumble rap here).

      How can you compare a Double-LP produced by Dre to a single LP produced by Puffy?
      Imagine if Pac worked with Puffy and Biggie worked with Dre........ who would be the best than??? YOU KNOW that the production value makes a huge difference, no one (at least no one that understand the scene) believes Puffy is on the same level as Dre. I wonder were people would put these two guys than.

    I'm a eminem fan and I can honestly say I don't care about album sales I care about music
    The artist's lyrical content and for me eminem is the goat and I'm black, alot of white eminem fans have zero knowledge about hip hop alot of them dont even like hip hop but love eminem and its these type of people who I dislike because they are the one's who constantly seem to bring up album sales and accolades and what not
    And label eminem the goat just because he sold the most ,
    But me I look at eminem as the goat because of his storytelling being able to paint a picture in lyrics that you can literally visualise then there's his word play and pure lyricism no one in my opinion matches his technical skills .

The funny thing is it's so good I think Nas himself thinks it was a fluke because he's gotten nowhere close to it again. Also ready to die should be on here.

      Illmatic is better than everything up there & Ready to Die & Me Against the World...Eminem’s album’s aren’t T-20.
