Yep, sucks that bad, music companys such as HMV class him as "The biggest seling person in music", and everytime he releases an album, they have to prepare for a wipeout.

Also i think he has the bigest number of albums/singles sold.

the only place it will probably say hes the best selling person in music industry is on a rap/pop programme or magazine

i doubt on a metal show or in a rock magazine like Kerrang, they wudnt wana say that Spice Girls are the biggest selling in music industry would they

imo you heard that from a source that was jsut providing their own opinion, i believe there are some much bigger selling artists than Eminem.

I agree with Kud. Metallica have sold nearly 100 Million, The Beatles have sold 1.1 Billion, and thats all the figures I know. Eminem has not sold the most records, thats a ridiculous claim to make.

The fact its someone high up from HMV - The biggest music shop, who sell all types of music.

Maybe i should add, biggets selling in music at thsi moment, and there expecting major sales on the day of release.

Eminem has fans from all over the world, from people associated with different typeso f music to what he makes.

i know many of big metal fans, and they all rate Eminem, and buy his albums.

i know people who are into pop, they also like eminem.

Just because you dont like rap, it doesnt mean eminem is "crap"

Id leave it a fair comment if someone who likes rap, can say he is crap, and give the reasons why.

Why do you have to like rap to validly say Eminem is crap? He's crap because he can't even sing, which is the most vital part of song writing (look up the deffintion of ''song'' if you dont believe me), and for a genre that revolves around vocals, I don't see how it could be very good music at all. Poorly written poetry with a loop in the background is not enjoyable to me.

Cypresshill are Rock/Rap, not just rap. I also like them.

Endo f the day, people are people, and like their own thing. but we should not judge others because we listen to a different genre of music.

i used to do it... i used o hate metal and slate it. Now, i just dont listen to it, and leave it at that.

Cypress Hill are Hip-hop actually kthnxbye.

I, like Opeth and Kud am a very very deep metal fan and so I have nothing to say about rap/pop and that shít. They can lick my balls for all I care.#

EDIT:

But I give an exception of Cypress Hill. They are the only hip hop band/soft band I like.

Since the group's formation in 1988, the pioneering rap-rock quartet Cypress Hill -- founders B-Real (Louis Freese), DJ Muggs (Lawrence Muggerud) and Sen Dog (Senen Reyes), along with newest member Eric Bobo -- have come a long way from the streets of South Central L.A. Over the course of its 15-year history, Cypress Hill has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide; garnered 15 multi-platinum, platinum and gold certifications from the RIAA; headlined Lollapalooza, Woodstock and the group's own Smokin' Grooves tour; and appeared on "Saturday Night Live," among other shows, all while breaking down the barriers between hip-hop, alternative, metal, rock, reggae, ska and Latin music.

Well I'm sorry if that reporter/writer said they're rock/rap but they are hip hop, he obviously ****ed it up. When did the peson write that? There are only two songs by cypress that arn't hip hop and they're "Trouble" and "Checkmate"

Then they're believing that their music is rock/rap.

Do I need to send you all of their albums or something to prove their hip hop?

Smelly your making yourself look stupid. Who actually classifies what genre a band is? No one, it is left up to the listeners so there cant actually be a correct answer to what genre cypress hill is. So why dont you just shut up an respect other peoples thoughts and opinions.
