I was just standin there laughin tryin to get drunk as fast as possible. Then it hit me, this is the fanbase that are buyin this shit and what the music industys main target is. Finally opened my eyes to the big picture and its pretty damn sad...Fuckin Sheep

Well, I'm white and I'm of that age you just mentioned, but sure as hell I will never ever learn the words to Encore. I didn't even manage to fully listen to it once, as it's crap as hell.

Anyway, that's probably the main reason why Eminem and Luda can push way more units than the others in that list. Their fanbase doesn't just stick to true hiphop lovers: kids of all ages listen to Eminem, no matter what other music they listen to. And besides that, many of the younger kids just listen to Eminem because that's what they call "hot". If they would have been listening to true hiphop, half of the other kids would say their taste in music sucked. Therefore, maybe Eminem shouldn't even be listed here, since it's more popmusic than hiphop. Possibly the #3 in the list is more hood than him.

That's bullshit man.  Anyone that pushes at least a million can be considered pop music.

How many copys did "Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu Tang: 36 chambers" sell? A whole fucking lot, and it wouldn't even come to my mind calling that pop music.

Pop=popular music.  You're a pop artist if you're sellign big.  You don't have to be making pop music.  bUt, you're a op artist once you move a giant amoutn of units.  I definitly think it's BS to call "Encore" pop music too.
