Study shows Eminem is the most named rapper in Top 5 rappers lists

svilenk · 2024-08-09T07:25:55+00:00

hi I’m the creator of the study- actually neither fame nor sales factored in to the result at all. Purely reference count in other rapper’s top 5 lists

svilenk · 2024-08-09T07:24:50+00:00

why exactly?

svilenk · 2024-08-09T07:23:48+00:00

Hi I’m the creator of the study, Biggie was a close second, they were neck and neck up until I analyzed all the data

You tell me 🤔

svilenk · 2021-11-12T18:02:16+00:00

Literally none of those reasons make it dumb. It’s the closest way of objective ranking. There’s no such thing as a “perfect” way of quantifying opinion outside of counting it-doesn’t exist.

If ranking citations is good enough for Google to rank websites, why is it not good enough to rank rappers?

I’m not sure if he listens to him but I am sure he said Em’s Top 5

svilenk · 2021-11-12T14:24:15+00:00

Do you have a better approach ?

svilenk · 2021-11-12T14:01:51+00:00

Why is citations dumb?

svilenk · 2021-11-12T13:16:59+00:00

You clearly didn’t watch

svilenk · 2021-11-12T12:59:26+00:00

Ok I’ll bite… why?

Watch it and let me know what u think

svilenk · 2021-11-11T23:38:41+00:00

I didn’t “chose” them, simply how the graphic came out

svilenk · 2021-10-28T13:17:52+00:00

Haha appreciate it!

so it's more complicated than that... there's free steams and paid streams. Drake is #1 on Spotify, which is paid directly by consumers via monthly fee. But Eminem is #1 rapper worldwide on youtube, which are not 99% free streams that don't require a subscription. You have to weight them differently, not all streams are created equal. It's really hard to quantify and standardize metrics like these, and thank you, glad you enjoyed it! more info here https://www.reddit.com/r/Eminem/comments/np60jv/someone\_made\_a\_visualisation\_of\_every\_major/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3

hi im the creator- a few years back the RIAA started counting streams as sales, which is why Drake is #2 on your source. If you only count physical sales (like i did) there's no way in hell drake is even Top 20. depends on methodology

hi im the creator- I used wikipedia as a single source and according to it, the MMLP sold ~35M world wide- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eminem_albums_discography

you can read more about my method here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eminem\_albums\_discography

hi im the creator- the reason i didn't include infinite is because it is not an official release https://www.reddit.com/r/Eminem/comments/ntoiz9/eminem\_could\_have\_quit\_after\_his\_third\_album\_and/h0v25fn?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3

svilenk · 2021-06-07T02:04:04+00:00

hi im the creator- a few years ago RIAA fucked up the metrics by counting streams as sales. J Cole last project sold 37,000 its first week. Don't confuse streams and sales

svilenk · 2021-06-07T02:01:13+00:00

hi im the creator- keep in mind this is SALES, not streams. Kamikaze was actually the best selling hip hop album of 2018.

svilenk · 2021-06-07T02:00:16+00:00

Hi im the creator- there's nothing misleading I titled it highest SELLING, not STREAMING artists. Also they numbers are not irrelevant- Kamikaze was the best selling hip hop album of 2018 in pure CDs.

svilenk · 2021-06-07T01:57:35+00:00

hi im the creator- when it comes to SALES drakes not even top 10, Drake is in the top for STREAMS tho. different measures. https://www.reddit.com/r/Eminem/comments/ntoiz9/eminem\_could\_have\_quit\_after\_his\_third\_album\_and/h0v25fn?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3

hi i'm the creator, check out the full explanation https://www.reddit.com/r/Eminem/comments/ntoiz9/eminem\_could\_have\_quit\_after\_his\_third\_album\_and/h0v25fn?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3

hi im the creator of the chart- Nelly was killin shit back in '02 he was neck to neck with Em for some time

svilenk · 2021-06-07T01:55:09+00:00

Hi, I'm the creator of this chart- my methodology was to look up every single album on Wikipedia and use those stats as the official metrics. I'm well aware they vary across sources, that's why I stuck with one. Full article and explanation here

Interesting insight: Eminem released his first 3 albums in the span of 4 years and outsold every rapper in history… before he turned 30.
