When it comes to Eminem, no one will deny his talent and contributions to Hip Hop culture. That’s why Eminem’s albums have always been among the most sought-after products for nearly 30 years.
As a Rap music lover, did you know that the success of those albums was largely contributed by another genre of music – Rock music.
Sounds strange, right? So let’s find out how.
Sinh năm 1972, từ lúc sinh ra cho đến đầu những năm tháng theo đuổi sự nghiệp trở thành Rapper, anh vẫn luôn chứng kiến dòng chảy của nhạc Rock đang diễn ra song song với sự bùng nổ mạnh mẽ của Rap trong những năm 90. Nên không khó hiểu khi Eminem muốn mang chất liệu Rock vào trong những ca khúc huyền thoại của mình.
Eminem’s sales table according to Chartmasters.org
To see Rock’s influence in his successful works, look at the sales chart above. First to mention is The Marshall Mathers LP, one of the albums that has sold more than 12 million copies in the US and more than 23 million copies globally as well as the best-selling solo album in US history.
The interesting thing here is the second appearance of Limp Bizkit, one of the famous Rap Rock groups in the 90s, in the MV “The Real Slim Shady”. Eminem previously collaborated with the group to release the product “Turn me loose” in the early days of his career. Not only that, the second part of the above album, The Marshall Mathers LP 2, released in 2013 with more than 4 million copies sold in the world, was also inspired by the Rap Rock group Beastie Boys, specifically in the song “” Berzerk”.
Album The Eminem Show và The Marshall Mathers LP
The Eminem Show is the fourth album that helps Eminem achieve sales of more than 12 million copies in the US market and 22 million copies worldwide. The chorus of the song “Dream On” by Aerosmith, one of America’s greatest ROCK’N ROLL bands, was used by this male rapper in the song “Sing For The Moment”.
In addition, both albums Recovery and Revival have traces of rock groups Black Sabbath and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, although album sales are not as good as the first albums. But they add to Eminem’s success with the imprint of Rock music.
It can be said that Eminem is a talent, but the timing factor also plays a part, as he applies the essence of Rock at the right time, to create successes for his albums.
