More classics: Eminem or Mariah Carey?

[momal]

 

or

 

 

Both are abosultely the biggest in their own fields - Eminem as a rapper, Mariah as a vocalist. Their feud and disstracks are iconic and wildly discussed. Who comes on top in terms of classics?

[GoodGuyGoneGhetto]

Eminem, clearly. 

 

Eminem, possibly, has the most classics of all rappers after The Notorious B.I.G by the way.

And Mariah has the most-streamed song of the 90s plus many of the other most-streamed 90s songs. I don't get the random receipt.

 

They both have a great deal of classics and it makes no sense to compare a female vocalist who debuted in the physical era to a male rapper who debuted in the digital era.

He debuted in the peak of album sales.

 

OT: Eminem, but AIWFCIY is bigger than any of his.

I guess I meant peaked in the digital era

What don't you understand? It's 2023 and eminem has at least 5 songs on sportify's global chart. 

To say that Mariah has many of the other most-streamed 90s songs when she only has one song on the top 40 is comical to say the least.

BTW, eminem debuted in the cassette/CD era (google is free).

 

 

[Feanor]

Eminem, definitely.

 

He currently has 5 tracks charting on Spotify 200 and was #11 on 2022's IFPI Artist chart, which is just insane, but proves the strength of his catalog.

Is that why she's ahead of Madonna, Celine, Janet, Whitney in streams in 2023 outside of Xmas on both Spotify and Youtube?

 

Is that why she's had four separate tracks go viral on TikTok in the last couple of years?

 

Is that why she has 90 weeks at #1?

 

Is that why she has 11 songs in Billboard's all-time chart?

 

Is that why she's the #1 selling female artist in North America and Asia (Western artists)?

 

Y'all have got to be more clever with the trolling.

That's cute - now compare her song streams to other 90s females.

Eminem released his debut album in 1996, exactly two months after Mariah Carey released “Butterfly” and “Honey” was still an active single.

 

His biggest selling albums were released between 1999-2002. 

 

Which digital era are we speaking of?

Mariah.  Eminem is an overrated culture vulture

His debut from 1996 that sold 1,000 copies? You know good and well that is not his true debut.

 

And I meant his peak as already stated in here. Either way - the comparison makes ZERO sense and is obvious flamebait.

Mariah has been demolishing Whitney in recurrent streams and album averages for YEARS 

 

And We Belong Together is not far from 500m. It's also pulling nearly 400k daily. 

[Armani?]

This set up thread for obvious reasons 

 

The answer has to be Eminem though....

[idkwiam]

Eminem has more classics than anyone else bar Madonna and Rihanna I think tbh so this feels like a set up thread 

[TheVelvetFg]

Who even knows Mariah songs ?? JLo has more daily streams than her I think 

 

Eminem at least has the Rihanna songs and lose yourself. Literally who even knows what fantasy, hero, always be my maybe, we belong together, without you are 

[Shelter]

Eminem is bigger than our favs.
