PAHAHAHAHAHA…
Awesome:) Two hip hop Giants at the top!!
correction, one hip hop great at #1 and one hip hop fake at #2
I think he was referring to Big Boi as the other one….at least I hope.
Eminem’s a rip off…Sir Luscious is THE album of the year.
Even if Em’s album was out later it could be best seller of the year.
LOL. Recovery is going to slay Annebelum, next week it will be around 1.5 mili
The only artist to beat out the Beatles in sales over the last decade is about to rule the next decade !
Antebellum sold 2.35 million copies already,and dont be so sure about 1.5 mill next week cause the sales numbers are gonna fall to 150 – 180k
dont even mention antibellybutton, or whoever the heck that is, in the same breath with a lyrical and musical genius like Em
yeah, eminem, the musical genius behind “ass like that”, “big weenie”, and 10000 songs about how his mom sucked…aww, poor baby…
Yeah you know Eminem is the same guy behind the best track on the rap history : Rock Bottom, Lose Yourself, 8 Mile, Renegade, Space Bound, Stan, It’s Ok, 8 Mile, Hailie’s Song, COMC.
King Mathers still on top
