    I always found it funny how Eminem apologized for encore on relapse, then apologized for relapse on recovery and then only to admit that recovery wasn't that great either on mmlp2

    That's some ? you can't make up



    Em also said in years to come Encore would be like Illmatic, Em can't seem to make his mind up.

    He was joking, he know damn well that album was trash

    Lil Wayne
    Wayne was still the hottest rapper at the moment and had some crazy features. 2006 til he got locked up 2010.

    Y'all really got Drake over Wayne in 09. Unfathomable

    Rick Ross
    After the correctional officer story Ross bounced back hard with Deeper Than Rap. I think this was the album that allowed him to be what he is today.

    So I am the only one to vote for Em? Relapse ? 's on most albums that year.

    Relapse was complete trash.

    Calling it trash is being modest. That ? was horrible

    Correction

    Relapse wasn't THAT bad. It was trash but I was thinking of Recovery. Jesus couldn't save that album.

    relapse had a ton of wack songs on it, blue print 3 had even more outside of empire state of mind.

    Jay z label was caught buying their own albums that year

    i voted for drake cause there was no one left, jay was no were close to running the game in 2009, you ? reliving history, that album got lukewarm reviews, one commercial hit and his label made it go plat

    When did this happen?

    so new york state of mind had huge buzz, but the album was getting ? reviews, and it only did 300k its first week, many were surprised at how low the numbers were given the single and the jay z brand.

    well guess what happened next week? his album sold 300k again magically, and thats when people started coming out how his own label was buying copies to keep his plat streak alive

    the only way an artist tops or ties their first week sales is if they are a none mainstream artist who blows up after there album is released, or there album was released on a shorten weekend (as in only 2 days for the album to sell b4 sales numbers for the week come out)

    what jay z did his 2nd week was impossible, NOT TAYLOR SWIFT, ADELE, EMINEM, or any of the other big artists have ever ever pulled this off in recent memory. Jay z album had all the promotion in the world, NY state of mind wasnt a hidden gem, the album just didnt sell well it first week because the full album was leaked and people didnt like it that much.

    no artist ever tops there first week sales, now stuff like black friday 1$ album or if they preform at the grammys will give album sales a spike. But you still never top it unless except for the few exception mention above

    Drake should win. So Far Gone changed hip hop and honestly is the most celebrated mixtape ever and changed the sound of hip hop and RnB
