    @Word…Do you guys know what the term “Hater” really means? You and mac DIESEL seem to really not understand the concept. You just said, “QUICK, before the HATERS come!” right before you HATED on Miley Cyrus. Do you guys not think about what you write before you write it?

  17. Oj Da Cornball says:

    YOOOOOOOO, HE BODIED DRAKE.

    NO NAMES ON PLANES AND HE STILL CRUSHES DRAKE.

    Old fake industry machine made hype self sucka.

    “Forced hype is for suckas. If you’re half Jew, the industry forces you down fans throat and they calling you great when u average to the art, you’re ashy and your breath stink, fake hype crab”
    Lol. .

    Ok, stand can get at me now.

  18. Word says:

    @Jaewon

    Uh….okay….

  19. ATLien says:

    And for the record…. Eminem did 750,000 first week, most people who bought it would’ve been real hip hop fans (Like me) unlike the people who purchased Drake’s album which mostly would’ve been purchased by kids and girls.

  20. Roy says:

    @Drucifer

    Lol, his digital sales of the album outsold Miley’s full sales.

  21. Post no billz says:

    congrats to em.. But we all knew he was gonna do big numbers.. Its kinda wierd it seems like there wasnt too much promo for this album also.. Maybe its cus he didnt have the usual wack celeb bashing 1st single and video this go round.. Loving the album btw..

  22. Mr. G says:

    @ e hustle u are smoking crack if u think em is the greatest!

  23. GTFO says:

    @PITRI .remember last week when RR had a picture of a huge crowd for a canceled drake concert, and people said Aubrey was going to outsell EM LMFAO!!!! damn them ninjas was wrong

  24. Sin says:

  25. WORD!!! says:

    LIP SYNCING ON STAGE……

    RELAPSE WAS BULLSHIT……..

  26. 2010 top seller says:

    Nobody else can do this.

  27. ZZzzzZZZ Sleepin' says:

    Repost if your tired of Niggas acting like you can’t fuck with both Eminem and Drake… Congrats to them both. Em is already Legend status, Drake is still baby Bjorn. Hop off haters!

  28. mikey says:

  29. DARKAQUA says:

    FINALLY…I’VE GOING BACK AND FORTH ALL DAY

    LOL EM BETTER THAN YOUR FAVORITE RAPPER….YOU KNOW WHO I’M TALKING ABOUT!! LOL

  30. fuck the haters says:

    b4 the haters hop all over this …. CONGRATS to EM and BIGGER CONGRATS to HIP HOP! WE got the highest album sale of the year! Lets keep it that way! ….
    Recovery is also a dope album.

  31. Mr. G says:

    Only reason he does
    big numbers is because he’s got white America buying a shit load of his albums! Thus when a black artist puts out a classic album it doesn’t do well cause white America ain’t buying the album!

  32. We Need Wayne Back!!! says:

    Eminem Can’t Give Us A Milli……

    But Tha Carter 4 Can………

  33. Word says:

    @Jaewon

    You should aim your Stalker Scope at that other WORD!!!, thats a real hater for you to entertain yourself with.

  34. D-manded says:

    expected… but yh congrats em stand the fuck up for the almighty whitey!

  35. ~~` says:

    @WORD…Jaewon jus put you to bed
    @Jeawon…Well said

  36. D-manded says:

    ^^@ the weezy stan im not even gonna explain :}

  37. Roy says:

    @fuck the haters

    Big props to you. People don’t realize Em is still apart of our culture. He’s still one of us despite being white. Hear that people? HIP HOP has got the highest opening week of the year.

  38. AndrewB says:

    drake sale r not final

  39. Jaewon says:

    @WORD!!!…You do understand the BET Awards is a big, multi million dollar, production right? You do understand you have thousands of people in there screaming and singing along with the performers right? 99% of most performances have audio playing the the background to ensure that the performance can be heard. Have you ever been on stage or around something like that…or worked in audio? If so you would understand. But I am guessing you havent. I worked on Eminem’s Anger Management tour and they used the background audio then too. This isn’t anything new in music.

  41. flow j says:

    Thats My Nigga marshall……I Love all The criticism bring it all, yall could had skiped the post but know lol White Boy Stays Winning……He just doesnt know how to FLOP!!!! unlike other artists
    *cough* *cough* Rebirth

  42. WEST says:

    Drake who?

  43. Word says:

    @Mr. G

    Thats cause Black America dont wanna buy shit. I’m sure millions of black people loved Distant Relatives, but how many of them niggas gonna go out and cop it? Stop tryna blame it on white people all the time, its our fault too. Out of the 750k Eminem moved, im sure about 300k are black. Shit, 350k-400k are probably not white at all.

  44. The Real Aubrey Stan says:

    FUCK EMINEM! WHITE CRACKER BYING HIS SHIT! DRIZZY ALL DAY> OVO YMCMB CLICK LETS GO!

  45. Drucifer says:

    @ Roy

    Yeah, Miley cyrus caught a heavy brick with that one, lol……..

  46. nonny says:

    happy recovery has done sp well it’s an amazing album.

  47. Jaewon says:

    @Mr. G…So, Eminem did well his first week because he is white? Wayne did 1 million+ last year in his first weak why?

  48. realtalk says:

    KING MATHERS!!!! G.O.A.T.

  49. Roy says:

    @Drucifer

    I was on a Miley board the other day just to see what they thought about Miley coming out the same day Em is. They actually thought Miley would out sell him. SMH
