I was just about to say this. Yeah, someone needs to update it to "over eighty million" everywhere it says how many albums he has sold. Also should be updated on the highest selling artists of all time article. I'm pretty sure I've seen different articles on different websites that say he has sold eighty million.

Yeah, I found sources for this. I updated the article and provided the references. —Do U(knome)? ^yes..._{or no} 02:45, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Birthday

He wasn't born in '72. HE was born in 73. Just listen to the Cleanin out my CLoset —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.99.122.117 (talk) 16:27, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm afraid that evidence alone would generally not be considered a reliable source. Especially since the song doesn't say "I was born in 1973" or even anything along those lines. Plus, '72 doesn't rhyme with "multi-platinum sellin' CD." In the context of the song, '73 refers to the date when his father left. -Verdatum (talk) 15:22, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Also in the song "cleaning out my closet"; It says "maybe i was a couple of months". eminem was born in october 1972, so by 1973 january, he is a couple of months old.

New Image

I've insert on Commons a new Eminem's image from Flickr, the title is Eminem. If you like it you can add the image in to the article.--FENIX 89 (talk) 20:52, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

It's excellent. Thanks. SlimShady6135 (talk) 04:21, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Autobiography

Shouldn't we add something about his autobiography The Way I am? --Bnvdarklord (talk) 11:39, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes. A mention of the book has already been added. I just got a copy of it yesterday, so I was planning to flip through it today to see if there was anything worth adding. -Verdatum (talk) 17:08, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

"Homophobia"?

Unless someone can prove that Mr. Mathers is scared of gay people, please change "homophobia" to "anti-homosexuality." Thank you. 64.221.15.66 (talk) 20:06, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

While it is true that it is much more likely that Eminem has been guilty of "anti-homosexuality" than of homophobia, the reference supplied uses the term "homophobe". The fact in question is not related to what Eminem is or is not, it is related to what he has (or has not) been accused of. -Verdatum (talk) 21:57, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

who cares, gays are weird anyway, god made adam and eve not adam and adam!
