According to Rolling Stone, yesterday they reported that the King of The Hip-Hop Throne is….EMINEM.
Well, this decision was based on a couple things: albums released from 2009 to the present, album sales, rankings on the R&B, hip-hop and rap charts, YouTube video views, social media, concert grosses, awards and critics’ opinions.
Mr. Marshall Mathers took the title based on his whopping album sales (7.5 million during the time period) as well as YouTube views (1.3 billion) and social media (44 million Facebook likes and 5 million Twitter followers).
