EMINEM & TIGER WOODS: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ALIENATE FANS

One story that’s fascinated me over the holidays was the commercial reaction to Eminem’s Revival. The album debuted at #1, his eighth in a row, his streak is still intact. But for the first time, Marshall Mathers’ exhibited commercial vulnerability, notching 267,000 first week, the lowest of his career. Is Eminem experiencing a similar backlash from his base as Tiger Woods when he said he was Cablinasian?
