I honestly think Eminem can sit comfortably besides the legends/icons of music such as Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Michael Jackson etc - purely in terms of impact and relevance. Even if you absolutely hate him as person, and think his music is shit, you can't deny this.

Highest selling artist of the decade (2000-2009), critically acclaimed movie with 8 Mile, won an Academy Award for Lose Yourself, has 13 Grammy Awards, had the highest selling album of 2010, and constantly gets attention/hype surrounding him and he doesn't even have to try anymore, it's effortless.

Put it this way, 'Eminem' will still be a talking point in 20 years time. His music will always live!

That would be amazing for any artist, but the fact he is a rapper representing hip-hop (a genre that is often dismissed by music snobs), and is white, and was the first white rapper to blow the fuck up and make it big time, makes it even more of an achievement.

Nice summary, One Mic

I agree with One Mic too!

Plus, at least Eminem will be remembered as a 00's artist. In 20 years time, if anybody hears a Lady Gaga song, they'll think it was from the 80's, not 2009. Utter fail on her part.

We have been tracking him for months in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=60&t=97828

You guys can follow a long too it is pretty interesting. Before Recovery he had "only" a few million likes and after Recovery he sky rocketed to the top past people in their prime like Lady Gaga. It will be interesting to see if he can maintain it and to see if he can go all the way to the top.

It will be interesting to see if he can maintain it and to see if he can go all the way to the top.

The music videos for I Need A Doctor, and Spacebound should go some way to help maintain the buzz/hype, but after that I'm not sure what he has planned, if anything.

[N.E.R.O.]

he sure as hell does break a lot of internet records for a guy who still buys pornos on dvd's..

theres no doubt that he's up there with the greatest pop icons ever..

but IMO it's a little to unfair to pin him against Michael Jackson on a Eminem Fanpage Go ask what they think on MichaelJackson.com Lol

Hell ya, Eminem rank #1.

Em is really owning the sosial network
