Eminem is the latest rapper to suffer from Album Leak

The albums released over the span of the last two and a half years have suffered a tough rate. Weeks before the actual release, these albums are leaked to the internet. Last year, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, and 50 Cent suffered this fate. While this did not do much to hurt the sales of Jay-Z and Lil Wayne, 50 Cent's sales dropped dramatically.

Recently, Young Money star, Drake dealt with his entire debut album being leaked to the internet. While they did not act as if this upset them, Jay-Z and Lil Wayne were upset about what happened. Drake, on the other hand, has decided to roll with the punches. For years, he has released free music and this is no different to him.

Because of his popularity, most rappers feel the leak will not hurt his overall record sales. Such rappers as Game and T.I. feel he will eventually sell 1 million copies off of this album. Eminem has been a major supporter of Drake and he felt bad when his album was leaked to the internet. Now, Em finds himself in the same position as Drake. He is not the star he used to be, but he still sells a lot of records when he does release albums.

For the past two years, Eminem has released an album, but his latest, Recovery, has suffered from a leak in its entirety. Eminem has had to record the album twice, as it was initally Relapse 2, but the label forced him to move on. Eminem recorded this new album for months and it has been leaked right before its release date.
