Eminem’s “Music To Be Murdered By” goes 2x platinum in US

Eminem’s 2020 double album, Music To Be Murdered By, is now eligible for double platinum in the United States, meaning the album has now sold more than 2 million album equivalent units in the country.

The album debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200, selling 279,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, out of which 117,000 copies came from traditional sales. Eminem became the first artist to have 10 consecutive number-one albums in the US and one of six artists to have released at least ten US number-one albums.

MTBMB also accumulated a total of 217.6 million on-demand streams.

On December 18, 2020, a deluxe edition of the album, titled Music to Be Murdered By – Side B, was released and the album saw a 1,125% boost in sale units from the previous week, moving 94,000 units. This brought the album back up to the 3rd spot on the Billboard 200 album chart, a 196 spot jump from the week previous, breaking a 50 year old Billboard 200 record previously held by Bob Dylan.

Logic references Eminem in a new song with Russ

Logic and Atlanta artist Russ use “Therapy Music,” — the third single off of Logic’s 2022 album titled Vinyl Days,— as a way to unleash everything on their minds.

The two go back-to-back with long verses of just bars with no chorus, rapping about everything life has thrown at them in a therapeutic release.

Logic’s verse includes lots of reference, including Eminem. At the end of his verse, he raps: “Still at the top, where I been at? Eight Miles from the surface of Earth, feelin’ Infinite.”

The line is clearly a reference to Eminem’s Oscar-winning movie “8 Mile” and his debut album, called “Infinite.”

Coi Leray defends Eminem after her father Benzino called out the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame committee for inducting the Detroit legend into the 2022 class.

Yesterday, Coi shared a tweet that appears to be a response to her father’s statement that shaded Eminem.

“I am about love, equality, respect and forgiveness. I have nothing against Eminem, 25 years of my life all I know is he a very talented artist and actor! (8 Mile was great) Let’s build bridges and get over them before you burn the bridge and burn with it.” said young rapper.

Highest paid hip-hop artists of 2021 has been revealed

Highest paid hip-hop artists of 2021 has been revealed and Jay-Z is king of hip-hop cash, accumulating a career-best total of $470 million after selling Tidal streaming service and Armand de Brignac champagne; Jay-Z’s net worth has since ballooned to $1.5 billion in total.

Fellow billionaire Kanye West ranks second, pulling in $250 million over the course of 2021, almost entirely from his Yeezy footwear empire.

Though Eminem has not put out an album in more than two years, Slim Shady still made into the list at number eight by pulling $28 million. He was among the five most-consumed artists in hip-hop last year thanks to a vast catalog of hits. This year, he will surely get even more of a boost, thanks to his halftime show with Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Anderson .Paak and Mary J. Blige and the induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

For the list of top 10 paid rappers of 2021, check the table below:

1. Jay-Z ($470 million)

2. Kanye West ($250 million)

3. Diddy ($75 million)

4. Drake ($50 million)

6. Travis Scott ($38 million)

9. J. Cole ($27 million)

10. Birdman ($25 million)

10. Doja Cat ($25 million)

Shaquille O’Neal on Ernie Johnson rapping on Inside The NBA: “Eminem and MGK we’re coming after y’all.”

Last night’s episode of Inside the NBA saw a little more than NBA playoff action as sportscaster Ernie Johnson took over the show to spit bars as he rapped lyrics from the critically-acclaimed musical ‘Hamilton.’

Going in on the track titled “Guns & Ships,” Johnson displayed his verbal and rapping mastery as he went bar for bar with the track at its original tempo.

Ernie Johnson’s performance had the Inside crew in amazement as Shaquille O’Neal to it reacted by saying:

“Sitting next to Eminem’s father. Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly, we are coming after you all. We got a mixtape coming out.”

Benzino slams Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame after inducting Eminem

Benzino is calling out the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame after Eminem was announced as one of the inductees for the 2022 class.

Yesterday, the former Source magazine owner went on a mini rant through Twitter, sharing his feelings about Eminem being revealed as a Hall inductee earlier in the day.

“Rock and roll hall of fame is just like the Grammy’s, they have no respect for our culture, Black or Hip Hop and if you don’t agree, you’re racist, period point blank,” Zino tweeted.

In another tweet, he said: “So where’s Nas, Eric B and RAKIM, Kool Moe D, EPMD, Fearless Four, Fat Boyz, Lauren Hill, Little Kim, OutKast and 100s other Black rappers?? Get the f**k out of here!”

Jack Harlow talks Eminem comparisons with Ebro in the Morning

Ahead of the release of his second studio album, Come Home the Kids Miss You, which drops this Friday, Jack Harlow stopped by Hot 97’s Ebro in the Morning on Monday to chat about his sophomore effort, working with Kanye West, Drake, comparisons to Eminem and more.

Peter Rosenberg: Does it ever cross your mind that you are the first of your kind in a certain way? And by that I mean, there have been lot of white rappers, at this point, it’s not that novel to be a white rapper but in terms of being this commercially popular, you make club records, you have one of the biggest club records in the last five years. Even the biggest white rappers who we love, Mac, Marshall… Eminem does not make ‘club records’ he’s lyrical miracle huge star but no one else has actually been in this space of being white boy who actually makes really good commercial hip-hop records. Have you ever looked at it like that?

Jack Harlow: I say I’m aware of it but you might not put Eminem in the club box but he was making mainstream hip-hop that was being consumed by the masses. But I feel your point.

Voting member of Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame lashes out on Eminem

Ahead of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame’s Wednesday announcement revealing its 2022 class, Vulture magazine spoke with two members of the Rock Hall voting body under the cloak of anonymity to dissect their extremely frank opinions when the ballots arrived.

Their names are anonymous. Voter 1 has been an active voter for “four to five years,” while Voter 2 hovers “around 20 years.” And both have a hell of a lot to say about Eminem. You can check it below:

Voter 1: I hate Eminem. I’ve always hated Eminem. I find everything about his art to be repelling, and I love hip-hop. It’s hard to describe without going back into the conspiracies. I feel like the rock press dove head over heels for him from the beginning. He’ll say it — he got a huge boost from being a white rapper and being “transgressive.” The way in which he was embraced by critics, put on the cover of Spin dressed as the guy from A Clockwork Orange, and all this other horses**t early on? It was repulsive to me. When you actually listen to his songs, there’s not all that much there. For every semi-dark lyric about killing his wife or his mother, there’s 15 songs that are a string of pop-culture bulls**t and fart jokes. F**k that guy.

Voter 2: It’s a good argument why 25 years is a good span of time before people become eligible. If Eminem had been eligible a decade ago, I’m sure I would’ve voted for him. But to me, his work is less substantial, less interesting, and has aged less well than it would have if we were having this conversation in 2012. There’s other people who I would rather see. The ballot always seems like there’s one designated hip-hip spot per year. In terms of what the Hall voters can wrap their brains around, I think there’s better places to put that vote this year.

Eminem finished at second place on Rock Hall fan voting with almost 700,000 votes but as you see, official voting members are very critical to Eminem. Let’s wait for today’s announcement of 2022 Rock Hall inductees! For the full article, visit Vulture here.
