Album Plaque Hell: The Sequel

Royce da 5'9" tweeted the pic saying "Another plaque on my wall... Means the world to me... God is good..."

Hell: The Sequel had debuted on the Billboard 200 (U.S. Albums Chart) last month with sales of 171,135 copies.

Adele Moves Past Eminem For Most Digital Download Sales

For the moment, English songbird Adele can claim a victory over Eminem although the pair is not at odds with one another. The soulful singer has surpassed the Detroit bad boy with the most digital sales of her sophomore effort 21 – passing Slim Shady’s Recovery album and giving her the top nod. Adele also has the top spot with physical copies of her latest selling over 2.6 million.

Eminem has nothing to be sad about as Recovery sits as the #1 album sold in 2010 with over 4 million copies sold in the states and over 6 million worldwide. Adele’s victory in online sales comes just after Eminem himself broke the record earlier this month.

Debuting in 2008 with her album 19, Adele became a popular fan favorite with her stirring vocals resonating with the U.S. audience and eventually landing her two 2009 Grammy Awards for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Her follow up album21 – following the trend of naming her albums after her age at the time of recording – continues to wow fans who connected with songs inspired in part to a true life breakup for the singer.

For now, Adele is resting up for a North American tour that will begin in August after the singer cancelled earlier tour dates due to complications with laryngitis. Adele will begin her jaunt with our neighbors to the North in Vancouver before hitting make-up dates for portions of the tour that were cancelled while also adding new dates.

BME Week: The 10 Most Interesting Things We Learned

Today, Bad Meets Evil Week comes to close here at Complex. While we're sure to spend the rest of summer (and then some) bumping Bad Meets Evil's new EP, Hell: The Sequel, we figured everyone could use a wrap-up since we put out a ton of content with Eminem, Royce Da 5'9", and Mr. Porter. To close out the week, we put together The 10 Most Interesting Things We Learned to summarize everything from our four main features. And we even added two new bonus GIFs with Slim Shady and Royce (peep the second one at the bottom).
BONUS CONTEST: WIN AUTOGRAPHED BAD MEETS EVIL POSTERS!

To top it all off, we're giving away a set of Bad Meets Evil posters autographed by Eminem and Royce Da 5'9" for free. To win the posters, all you have to do is Like Complex Magazine on Facebook and write why you love Bad Meets Evil on our wall. We'll be picking the winner at random next Friday, so be sure to enter.

Eminem Explained That He Doesn’t Hate Relapse - Fans of Relapse may have been disappointed when Em dissed his sixth studio album on songs like "Not Afraid." But when we asked him about it, Em clarified his rhymes saying, "I don’t hate it at all, but when I’m looking back at an album I do have a tendency, and especially with that album, to run things into the ground."

Eminem's Manager Paul Rosenberg Actually Wrote The Hook To Royce Da 5'9"s “Rock City”- When we asked Em and Royce about their collaboration "Rock City," Royce brought up the fact that despite doing the hook, Eminem didn't actually write it—his manager Paul Rosenberg did. Em even jokingly admitted, “Paul writes all my shit.” LOL.

Eminem Got Complex’s Editor In Chief Noah Callahan-Bever To Try Vicodin - Back in the late '90s, when our current EIC was 19 years old he spent a summer haning out with Eminem and Royce (and getting stuck in elevators with them). During their time together, Em recommended Vicodin to Noah. It didn't go so well. Hey, it's not like Em ever said he was a "Role Model" or anything.

Eminem Has Holes In His Brain From Ambien - Before you go out trying Vicodin to be cool like Slim Shady (or our EIC) just remember, drugs are bad. Need proof? Just ask Marshall Mathers, who revealed during our cover story interview he doesn't even remember shooting the "Rock City" video or working with The Neptunes.

It Was Royce's Idea To Work With Bruno Mars - Bad Meets Evil working with Bruno Mars was an unexpected collaboration. But according to Em, it was all Nickel Nine's idea.

Some Random Girl's Voice Is On The Hook For "A Kiss" - According to the song's producer Bangladesh, the girl on the hook for that song is totally random. He explained it to us by saying, "The vocal in the song is really just a sound in the beat. It’s not really about the girl.”

Royce Da 5'9" Told Us About His Darkest Period - While discussing his excellent single "Shake This," Royce Da 5'9" reflected back on how bad his life once was saying, "I was [in an] abusive period. I pulverized bottles, I was abusive towards that. I was abusive towards my girl—not physically, but mentally and verbally."

Royce Da 5'9" Didn't Want To Work With Joe Budden - Although their obviously in the same crew now, Royce was initally hesitant to work with Joe Budden. Royce admitted to us that when his manager first approached him about getting on the song "Slaughterhouse" with Budden, his response was, "Man, I just don’t like the *****."

Eminem Once Gave Mr. Porter A Place To Live - Back during the Infinite days, Mr. Porter had gotten kicked out his house. And even though his friend Eminem was pretty broke himself, he offered him a place to stay. According to Mr. Porter, "He was like, ‘I’ll give you my room, you get better at making beats, and I’ll sleep on the couch.’"

Mr. Porter Was Suicidal After Proof's Death - The death of Proof hit everyone at the Shady camp hard, including Eminem. Mr. Porter had a hard time too saying, "I was ready to kill myself. I was literally that depressed. I was out of it." Thankfully he bounced back.
