Way ahead of any possible competition you can imagine, Eminem holds the title of the best selling rapper in the world. Recently, Forbes updated its infamous list of the Top 50 best rappers. They placed Jay-Z at No.1 and Eminem at No.10, starting the entry about Marshall with “It’s hard to talk about the rap game today without mention of Eminem”. They did try hard, though, and managed to put him at the bottom of the Top 10 ranked by “critical acclaim, cultural influence, album sales, innovation in the genre and more”. Meanwhile, at the end of the article was…

A new way to measure an artist’s global reach has crowned Eminem the Most Global Rapper of All Time — and he’s landed in the Top 10 across all genres. This new metric ditches familiar sales figures and focuses on something deeper: the number of languages an artist’s Wikipedia page appears in. The logic is simple: the more languages, the wider the reach. Taking this metric as a foundation, Chartmastes.org has built a list of the most global artists. Classical composers and musicians were put on a separate list because of an exciting academic bias towards classical music noticeable on…

Anyone who knows me knows I’m a huge fan of D12 and all things Shady Records. When I heard 2/6 of D12 were coming to my city along with Obie Trice, you know I had to jump on it. Naturally, I had to grab the VIP meet and greet pass too. When the day finally came, I was unreasonable, just as nervous as I was excited. I felt like I was about to have Mom’s Spaghetti on my sweater. As I was waiting in line for my turn to meet D12, I was greeted by a man who I wasn’t…

While the highly anticipated collaboration between LL Cool J and Eminem, “Murdergram Deux”, was recently leaked online before its official release, LL isn’t shy about his disappointment. He addressed the leak, calling it “terrible”. Yes, LL Cool J himself confirmed it’s the real deal, but he is frustrated because it is not the version he wanted floating around. We remember that in 2023, LL Cool J came back to promote his upcoming album, which was produced by Q-Tip. It felt like the release date was around the corner, but the roll-out was suddenly shut down. That’s when a snippet of…

In the deleted tweets, Cool J said he was “really trying” to figure it out but he’s “not…

In his latest show called “The Pop Out,” Kendrick Lamar did something that culture will forever be grateful. Kendrick reunited Black Hippy at Kia Forum in Los Angeles and this moment was definitely for the core TDE fans. He reunited his rap supergroup that formed in 2008 and consisted of ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul and Jay Rock. It was also great moment for Shady/Aftermath as Kendrick invited Westside Boogie to sing “Not Like Us” with him. Kendrick Lamar also brought out the one and only Dr. Dre. As if the show hadn’t packed enough punch the Kia Forum almost lost its…

With over 36 million streams gained over the recent week, Marshall’s latest single still counts as the most listened hip hop song on the streaming platform. Yes, the track slid four slots down to No.4. However, there is still nothing in the genre that can compete with Shady’s newest production. The second best rap song on the ranking is Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us”, which copped over 33 million streams in a week. Done by Eminem or Slim Shady, it is a win for Marshall and a good indication of what to expect from “The Death of Slim Shady”. The…

Two of Marshall’s most loved albums simultaneously hit a streaming milestone on Spotify. “Recovery” arrived at this number a little bit earlier, having 3 million streams over “The Marshall Mathers LP.” However, MMLP makes almost 3 million streams a day now, around 700,000 more than “Recovery,” and will close this gap very quickly. It also means that “The Marshall Mathers LP” is about to take over “Recovery” as the second most streamed album in Eminem’s catalogue. Would you be disappointed with this change? How do you rate these two albums in your personal rankings?

Marsha’s long anticipated album “Casablanco” will be released on June 28. And for now, the fans can have a taste of what to expect with her new single “Greedy”. Dr. Dre, who not only produced the album but seemingly personally took over the keys, created a lush tapestry of rich R&B sound. To expand the listener’s experience, he also sampled Leon Russell’s “This Masquerade” and Outkast’s “SpottieOttieDopaliscious”. The sound is only a background for Marsha’s unique voice. There is nothing hectic or uncertain about her vocal performance. Talend multiplied by experience and rlied on the steady foundation of one of…

The video for Eminem’s latest single gets a seal of approval from a legendary source: the family of Adam West, the OG Batman himself. Adam West portrayed Batman in the 1960s ABC series of the same name and a 1966 feature film. He and Burt Ward, playing Robin, were the inspiration for the “Without Me” video.

Nina spoke to TMZ, revealing her dad would have absolutely loved the video. She sees…

Eminem’s new single “Houdini” is a global smash, topping charts in the UK, Canada, and Australia. But in the US, things are different. “Houdini” debuted at No.1 on Billboard Global 200, proving its international appeal. Meanwhile, on the national Billboard Hot 100, it reached No.2, falling short of the coveted No.1 position. While No.2 is a high achievement, it was disappointing to see how the lack of radio plays and media coverage pushed “Houdini”, the best-selling track of the week, away from the top. The following week, the single fell six slots lower, to No.8, without media support and with…

Eminem just officially hit 82.3 million monthly listeners on Spotify, his highest number ever on the platform. This surge not only smashes Eminem’s previous record but also bumps him up the charts.

He has reached this result with only one new song. Hopefully, Eminem will keep the momentum going and crush some more records on the way.
