How many other arena hip-hop acts are there, really? Three or four maybe?
@drunkwithpower: I can think of Jay-Z, Eminem (who toured with 50 Cent), Kanye, T.I.
@Maura: Could Eminem still fill a stadium, do you think? I honestly don’t know, I assumed he wasn’t popular anymore since I haven’t heard a song of his on the radio since “Lose Yourself’. Anyway, that’s still only four and Jay-Z’s not exactly a road warrior.
@drunkwithpower: That mediocre album of his has sold surprisingly well — I think it’s the third or fourth best-seller for 2009. That despite a total lack of actual radio hits (”Crack a Bottle” topped the Hot 100 briefly, largely on sales). So yeah, for a certain agin g Gen-Y audience, Em has entering that reliable/nostalgia phase of his career.
@Chris Molanphy: Seriously? That’s crazy.
