Eminem is not worried how many people will buy his new album

Eminem said that the number of people who would buy his recently released album Recovery was not really important for him. Rapper claimed that he felt much more worried about the opinion of his fans and all people who like hip-hop.

«I could sell 80 million records in the first week, and if my peers or fans of real hip-hop didn't like it, it really wouldn't mean anything», claimed he.

Eminem also revealed that he was suffering from drug addiction during the recording of his album Encore in 2004 – that is why he was not worried about his fans during the work on this record and the next one too.

«When I first got sober I got really happy because I was not a prisoner of addiction any more, so life was brand new to me. I don't think I was paying attention to what the average listener might like or not like», claimed he.

As reported earlier, Recovery features Lil' Wayne, with whom Eminem has collaborated on the track No Love. Rapper claimed that he always admired Lil' Wayne, and was glad to have an opportunity to work with him. It also includes Eminem’s collaboration with Pink titled Won’t Back Down, and the track Love The Way You Lie which was recorded together with Rihanna.
