Just cause he isn't collaborating with who you'd like means he's a sellout? Come on man. Pink is a singer, doesn't make her a sellout. She's actually a "female Eminem", rebel kind of attitude, music saved her life and all that. He's trying different things, and imo it'll be dope. All these people getting pissed off or saying Em's lost it...because of him getting Rihanna on an album? And not having Royce or Dre? Sheesh. People who call him a sellout before even hearing the tracks lose all respect from me. You haven't even heard the fucking tracks yet man. Was Dido a sellout?

He's not selling out, he's just changing direction. If he was selling out he'd be purposely putting out different music just to gain more record sales, and he doesnt really care about record sales anymore. He has just grown up and everyone changes as they grow.

Depends how you define selling out

To me, selling out would be to keep doing the same thing he always does because other people want him to, or because its a safe call and guaranteed money.......If working with them is what he really wants to do, and nobody pressured him into it, then its not selling out at all, its staying true to his own artistic vision.

Anyone who thinks he's collabing with them for any reason other than money is a fool... I mean, maybe Pink because she just has that attitude about her that kinda matches Em somewhat, but Rihanna I never saw coming. (Not that I did see Pink comin)..

As for Wayne, Drop the World came out good so I don't mind this, but he did Forever, and then drop the world simply for the added publicity from currently high-selling artists..

Either way, I don't care if people sell out as long as they are dropping nice verses. Em has always been the type to rap about fictional stories, etc. anyway, so I don't think it would have as much of an effect on him as say.. Idk someone who claims to be some gangbanger with teardrops who suddenly decides to drop terrible rock albums that simply aren't 'him' just for the money.. coughcough

He dissed Wayne in the new single, so obviously he wasn't working with him because he thought he was good.

Is it possible for one of the biggest artists in music history to be able sell out??

Dude could take a shit and put it in an a cd case and it would sell millions, as proved with Encore

He's doing something new, as Just Blaze said he would
Same sword they knight you they gon' good night you with
Sh.., Thats' only half if they like you
That ain't even the half what they might do
Don't believe me, ask Michael
See Martin, see Malcolm
You see Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas; see Caesar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified
