EMINEM IS A SELL OUT!

My opinion on Eminem and why he sold out.
Wasn't a very well made video, will make a new one soon. Stay tuned.
I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE MUSIC. ALL RIGHTS GO TO EMINEM, SHADY RECORDS, AND INTERSCOPE.

[@rumahasit]

So basically you prefer the old Eminem. The drugged up, angry, bleach blonde who acts like a silly cartoon character in almost every video, feud with his mom, ex-wife and pop stars guy. Well he's pushing 40 now, almost died from the drugs and has kids who are teenagers so yeah things change. He used to represent angst and ambition. Now he represents growing up and moving on. Personally I think the people who whine about liking the old stuff better is just feeling nostalgic.

[@coreytheisen6948]

He still angry

[@StonedNinjaLUFC]

He used to be like a God to me - just like he says "hanging on every word he said" even at the height of his popularity I felt he was not mainstream/pop and I could relate to most of his songs. Now it makes me feel sick to listen to him on pop tracks, he was sent to destroy pop music but the cash always wins the artist's soul. Now, all we have is Immortal Technique and Hopsin keeping real hip hop alive.

[@EvilDeadRecordsVideo]

Lol hopsin? Really?

[@RonaldRaiden]

Yeah but did you even listen to him before the marshall mathers LP cause thats the one where his style changed. Once he got with dre the energy totally changed to angry. Thats because the insustry shit on dre with the whole eazy e thing. As dre says, F that beef, you can't hate E for what the industry did.

[@seligbongabe]

the industry ruins everything. at least we have nas, dj premier, pete rock, and some other good rappers still

[@jacobcurtis1907]

the mainstream can have the remains of what was Eminem. We'll stick with the LP's and Infinite

[@anitadavis9901]

Wow, great Video. The Evidence is all there he pretty much predicted his own down fall too

[@zomberkay]

this comment did not age well

[@brabbit189]

man i am he's fan since begining and i will allways be but is clear as hell that he is sell out

[@yellowdudelazer6752]

How do you feel now?

[@TheBamboozler12]

I love when people say he got out of tough times in his life. Because making millions of dollars makes life hard.

[@yesDBZnoDBGT]

He sold out. Thats fact. He dropped Relapse, which any real eminem fan would say is one of his best albums, but then when that flopped he dropped Recovery the next year to appeal to all the douche skinny jean lil wayne drake fan boys. Then all of a sudden he became a household name again. So dont go saying that he matured and changed what he rhymes about when Relapse was dark and nasty as both the Slim Shady and Marshall Mathers LP.

[@7KakashiCartman7]

I agree he did sellout but its mostly because he is older now and matured. And Proof did change him but getting off of drugs is what changed his style. I don't want him to go back to drugs either and even if he did his style won't change much his voice just got deeper.

[@TheLaLasProductions]

are these comments for real?? just because he's matured is not a reason to do a song with pop singers, wack ass rappers, & with pop beats. that's like seeing someone like Nas doing a song with a Young Money beat, or collaborating with someone like Nicki Minaj, and saying "oh he's matured", "oh he's older now". whaat? maturing should not equal shitty music. it's shitty. the beats hurt my ears. look at artists like Wu-Tang and KRS-One when you wanna see older MCs makin new shit & keepin it quality

[@drbnzballa1]

Before close minded people dislike it.. watch the video and really listen and compare his old flow to how he raps now.

[@yellowdudelazer6752]

Lmao

[@xDerezz]

I've been an Eminem fan for a while now and I still am and I still love him as much as I did first time. Most of you guys don't understand the fact that he is 40 FUCKING YEARS OLD. Would you like a 40 year old guy to act like Slim did in the very first video ? I don't think so. If you say that EMINEM SUCKS and SLIM SHADY ROCKS you must have a problem , because you either love him or hate him. He may have changed BUT he got through a LOT OF SHIT , not like the most of you who now disrespect him.

[@CrypticSWLDN]

It’s not that. He LITERALLY became everything he was against. That’s the reason so don’t get it twisted

[@helperboy5020]

exactly. i love all of his stuff. The sick shit from the early days, and the candy ass shit, the one or two awesome ones nowadays......... i loved Eminem show the most, and then marshall mathers LP........and weirdly enough i liked Revival too, cos i felt sad that it would be his last......guess i was wrong.

[@drbnzballa1]

@REGUL8TE Yes em is the greatest alive.

[@crutt1026]

em sold out when he stopped doing drugs its sad to say but thats when he made his best music

[@killerpanda321123]

He went from his amazing debut album infinite to his hilarious slim shady lp to the serious hardcore rapping in Marshall mothers lp and now what? Recovery... With Rihanna wtf

[@yellowdudelazer6752]

What about MTBMB?

[@MrSquaky]

Old Eminem wouldn't rap with P!nk, Wayne or Rihanna. Old Eminem wouldn't say Paul Wall and Bubba are dope. Old Eminem wouldn't use beats as bad as on Recovery Old Eminem would stick to Dre Old Eminem wouldn't rap songs for 12 year old kids. Old Eminem would NOT rap with Nicki Minak. New Eminem has nothing to rap about exept how he fell off and now he's back. How he was addicted to drugs. Old Eminem was dark New Eminem is bubble gum pop.

[@Bluemoonusawme]

Yes every time an artist becomes huge they get the label "sell out". He's always had one or two radio-friendly tracks on every album. He stated that he purposely does this & he's always had tracks with singers (remember track 13 girl Dina Rae). No he's not feuding with pop stars anymore because it's childish & the only reason he did it back then was because he was being lumped in with them. I would have liked to hear LTWYL with Christina Aguilera instead. She can actually sing.

[@Mlowe89]

One word, Infinite

[@mcdopesauce]

See I believe he has sold out but I've been an eminem fan since infinite and he's still the best and his music still has meaning and so much passion honestly what he's doing now is different he's trying new things and proving he's the best in the game

[@sandman3881]

He is controlled by the establishment - full on sell out. Don’t own his own words no more. Want legit? Tom McDonald is where it’s at. Eminem is just another establishment clown.

[@jackwebb5524]

i think m like most rappers trying to make it dont fully understand about what there getting into wen sighning there first deal there young and all they can c is the green bills and fame its only later that they relize there was a lot more to there contract he evan tells in his song my darling. sadly he is just a pawn in a much bigger agenda and he realizes that now

[@WitnessMusic1]

I woudnt say he sold out. I say he just matured.

[@marcoarellano6361]

ill give this guy credit, hes talented and that talent allows him to change his style from infinite to the slim shady era i think that change is really where he sold out, why? because he changed himself in order to sell more and become "hot". in other words, if my album doesnt leave me money i change my style in order to please my crowd, thats how selling out works. because at that time no one wanted to hear songs like "its ok" in 1996 they wanted to hear that gangsta thug mentality of the 90's but in 00' he was able to forsee a change in the music industry that allowed him to become as popular as he did with the slim shady persona. again even though he sold out a really long time ago he is still a good rapper no one denies his skill on the mic. he just changed to please the crowd and get out of poverty

[@MrEliteFeet]

truth

[@datguyoverdere12]

Basically hes holdin down old school rap jus givin it a little flavor along wit immortal technique.

[@LemmeTellMe]

Eminem made a crysler advert. And this is why Eminem has sold out.

[@evagryspeerd]

you have some valid points, but i do disagree:) his songs really aren't radio friendly, the singles yes, but the songs no. most of the stuff on hell the sequel aren't radio friendly and it's the same for recovery actually.

[@FalconsWarrior]

You haven't been a fan since infinite. That album probably came out before you were born. -.-

[@scottbrown9889]

I know it's an old comment, but thank you! The kid who made this video sounds like he was about 12 or 13 when he made it 11 years ago, so it's not possible that he was a fan "since" infinite.

[@tbopne]

@drbnzballa1 i thought my point was pretty clear, whats yours?

[@yundtyuntdyundtun]

[@killerpanda321123]

Relapse was ok but wtf recovery was a HUGE DISAPOINTMENT I was in disbelief I thought it was a joke

[@rumahasit]

@drbnzballa1 It has everything to do with his personality & his post-drug mentality & u must haven't been paying attention because he's already addressed it: "I had to learn to rap and write again...I actually had to learn how to say my lyrics again - how to phrase them, make them flow, how to use force so they sounded like I meant them. Rapping wasn't like riding a bike. It was physical as well as mental. I was relearning basic motor skills." IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SELLING OUT.

[@drbnzballa1]

@NotherwiseReturns Because ?

[@drbnzballa1]

@Gh33toboii Chris brown, lil wayne, rihanna, jay z, theyre all part of the same group. Proof's death (rip) did affect him, but it shouldn't change his style. And the disrespectful comment is not necessary.

[@thedonnyboy99]

eminem is the shit

[@ExploreSteve]

drbnzballa1 This video just backfires in your face.

[@drbnzballa1]

@Bluemoonusawme Ok so, he wasn't huge 99 and on? Like I said in the video everything else is secondary. Listen to his rap form, flow, wordplay, metaphores, content. It's much better. After the re up, he just totally changed his form. God knows why.

[@yellowdudelazer6752]

WTF lmaooooooo have y'all heard of kamikaze

[@jcotour]

Rap has changed and will forever be changing, as a rapper you gottah evolve and become better! And as far as him getting soft.. nooo way! go buy badmeetsevil and listen to the lyrics there demonic, he also makes fun of lady gaga for godsakes! So remove this video

all im saying about eminem is that he is( not) even in my top 50 of all time. i cant stand his fan base and this is true eminem fans dont like hip hop...hip hop in the 80s and early 90s were the best im not just saying eminem sucks but id rather have em over kendrck thats a fact.

[@jackwebb5524]

m is a pawn in a much bigger agenda wen u sign your 1 cantract all u thinking of is money fame ladies (hows) its only later on he knows that contract means much more he evan says and explains it in my darling. do more research

[@drohoe1]

Yes Eminem is a sell out. he use to be 1 of my favorite rappers. He should of retired like 6 years ago and he would of been remembered as 1 of the greats. Instead he decided to sing with Rhianna and make songs apologizing to him mom. gay

The greatest sellout in history, beyond belief. Are his bosses holding his family hostage or something, it looks that serious...

[@sunkidboppermentruthproofdood]

The GREATEST sellout in history?!? You've got to be kidding me. (If you're still talking about Eminem, Hell nah he ain't!) What about the "people" in our very own government that got him into that position in the first place? Does that not count loco?!? Marshall Mathers was unbelievably beautiful and awesome, and it was clear he had the heart of a TRUE artist all along....He just got caught in something he didn't have a clear future outlook on, until it was too late...have you even listened to any of his songs? What makes you say he's the greatest sellout? He is and will forever will be one of the loves of my life. This is @Heather's Groovies by the way....my channel name

[@drbnzballa1]

@rumahasit Has nothing to do with his personality, I'm talking about his rap form. It has totally changed and not in a good way.

are you a girl? or a 9 yr old boy? who cares if he sold out or not, he makes more than ull ever see in your life.

[@DevinEck]

AHAHAHA. You are way off base. Should probably clean your ears out a little and read up on the game. The game has changed. Brittany spears is not Rhianna. We have female singers and male singers in the hip hop scene now. So,DUH, he fucks with them. Haha.. People are to hilarious. Had he stayed the same you'd talk shit about him not changing with the times, but since he found a way to stay real and change wit the times he gets criticized for that too? Come on man.. Seriously? Listen to the music instead of being a hater. You ain't mad at Em you mad at the industry.. & to talk about his clothes and shit, come on.. He is a grown man, fuck he look like wearing baggy ass shirts and pants.. He grew up and his TRUE fans grew with him. #DontHateThePlayerHateTheGame

[@drbnzballa1]

@rumahasit It's bullshit. I'm sorry I don't buy it.

[@drbnzballa1]

Yup it definitely came out before I was born.. It came out in 96 and I was born in 91, I know this will be tough for you, but do the math.

[@cheacky15]

I LOVE Eminem's earlier work... but he's kind of a sell out now, lol!

You really don't know the definition of the phrase "sell out", do you?

[@coletrain5336]

he sold out years ago. remember the movie eight mile? it was labelled as fiction. he did it for fame and money. that's selling out.

[@balhaar122]

So eminem is sell out huh? dude has like 4 years between every album (except the first 3) eminem is a gauranteed PLATINUM seller, if he was sellout he'd make an album every year like lil' wayne for money, but he doesn't because he doesn't give a shit at this point about the money he gets.
