Yeah Shady and Aftermath sold the most records consistantly they ran Hip Hop and with Em today selling crazy numbers still have success.

ROZAYTABERNACLE

different decade = record sales at an all time low.

I see you're still as dumb as before the IC went down

Black_Samson

yeah cause it has nothing to do with the current talent...^^^

and don't blame piracy, because muhfukkas overseas don't seem to have the problems we do.

ROFL____GUY

different decade yes

EM is STILL the highest SELLING rapper TODAY!

AMAZING!

All of aftermath's success was because of Em. 50 wouldn't sell much if he wasn't co-signed by Em. With YM it's just Nicki, Drake and Wayne and there selling half as much as Aftermath from those years, s**t there record sales r nowhere near Rocafella from 98 to 04!!!

You can't say that cos Yelawolfs Album didn't even sell Gold barley sold a 100K and not only is he signed to Shady and co signed by Marshall but he is white and people think white Rappers have an advantage in sales but look at how badly a white Rapper co signed by Em signed to Shady flopped.

Em fans generally dont fuck with other white rappers

myself included

why would i listen to another white rapper when i KNOW he no where near marshall level?

Cos on the IC people think being white will make you automatically sell Multi Platinum.

lol alright, the aftermath label might be more talented, but do any of them actually drop? I'm pretty sure Em, 50 and Eve are the only ones that have been signed to Aftermath and actually dropped an album in the last 16 years. YM's almost matched that just in the last couple years.

and I dont think people overseas really care about sales as much as we do here.

YM in 4 years is till 4mil behind TES in total sales.. 1 album outsold an entire label of the "hottest rappers in the game"

MMLP - 19x plat

wayne career + drake career + nikki career = 15mil

The more crazy thing is The 8 Mile Soundtrack not even an Album but a Soundtrack has out sold majority of Rappers Albums lmao.

To be fair Eminem still outsold the entire Young Money/Cash Money camp with Recovery alone, But Em definitley ruined the legacy of his label always selling by signing Slaughterhouse and Yelawolf destined floppers.

dat_bk_nicca

True and Bef For Mercy isn't anyone near any of the classic Albums that came from Aftermath like The SLP, The MMLP, The Eminem Show, Get Rich Or Die Tryin, Cheers.

georgia boi

Based on sales, dominance, and more importantly quality of music, Aftermath '99-'03>>>>>>>>>>YM '08-present.

icecoldstew

Completely disregarding album sales. The music is way better. Aftermath by 8 miles

how is that ruining the legacy of his label when D12 and Obie Trice only sold because of their association with Em? No diss to Obie and D12 cause they're good rappers, but so are Slaughterhouse and Yela isn't bad.
