I love these 2Pac groupies trying to boost his album sales to look better.  Just look at the link.  AEOM did not sell more than Biggie's album.
And he's not "by far" the best selling rapper.  Eminem will catch him.  His average per album is way higher than 2Pac's.

No way Em will catch him. Pac is Certified for over 38 million in sales and Em is certified for 24 and Pac still puts an album out every year and sellf 1-2 million and Em's sales are starting to decline as well his next album may not even reach 4x platinum cause encore barely did, so It is a possiblity he may catch him but at that pace i don't think so because I don't think Em has many albums left in him.

^^ how is selling 4.6 milllion barely 4 x platinum and still pushin 20k+ a week
only one competing with em's sales is 50(which em makes more money off than 50) and used to be nelly
pac aeom didnt go diamond it is certified 9x platinum
same goes for biggie and they both reached that status because of the double album thing so basically both never reached 5x platinum
i think that only ppl who went diamond are fugees and mc hammerboth off single disks



CLASSIC.... west is BACK

2Pac - Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. - 1 mill.
2Pac - Me Against the World - 2 mill.
2Pac - All Eyez on Me - 5 mill.
2Pac - The 7 Day Theory - 4 mill.
2Pac - R U Still Down - 4 mill.
2Pac - Greatest hits - 5 mill.
2Pac - Until the end of time - 2 mill.
2Pac - Betta Dayz - 2 mill.

= 26.5 million copies

Eminem - Slim Shady LP - 4 mill.
Eminem - Marshal Mathers LP - 9 mill.
Eminem - The Eminem Show - 8 mill.
Eminem - Encore - 4 mill.

no offense to u at all
 but these numbers rnt even accurate, they r far less than that

2Pac - 2Pacalypse Now - 300K
2Pac - Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. -500 K
2Pac - Me Against the World - 1 mill.
2Pac - All Eyez on Me - 4. some thing mill. (if it reached 5 it woulda been certified diamond , which is not the case
2Pac - The 7 Day Theory - 7 mill.
2Pac - Greatest hits - 4. some thing too ( look at aeom)
2Pac - Until the end of time - 1 mill.
2Pac - Betta Dayz - 1 mill.
2Pac - Loyal 2 The Game - 1 mill.


i dunno about this one
2Pac - R U Still Down - 4 mill.
but assuming its accurate

25 million copies

as for eminem
Eminem - Slim Shady LP - 5 mill.
Eminem - Marshal Mathers LP - 9 mill.
Eminem - The Eminem Show - 8 mill.
Eminem - Encore - 4.6 mill. and still counting.....

= 27.5 million and still counting
thats only off 4 LP's

and to be fair comparing the first 4 albums of both MC's
eminem= 27.5 and tupac =6.8

of course this has nuthin to do with talent and whose a better MC
am just trying to co sign u

and the only reason am spending so much time on this is that i have a final exam 2morow and i dont feel like studying
so am doing any thing to avoid studying lol
props any ways

Mine are all from the RIAA.

Dont believe all the numbers you see at RIAA.......alot of the numbers aint been updated in ages. All Eyez On Me is listed there as 9 million, but that shits been past 10 million for over 3 years now. Some of RIAA's numbers are fine, but alot of them arent. Remember, lables have to pay for certifications, so alot of albums dont get updated, thus the albums dont look like they've gone up, but indeed have. Alot of Pac's numbers aint updated. Im pretty sure Me Against The World has gone up since its last certification, as has 2Pacalypse Now, R U Still Down, etc etc....

50 million...

I don't think so.  Those are Pac's numbers, just accept that.  26.5 million copies in the U.S., that's it.
Like Suge wouldn't pay to certify AEOM to get it diamond status and have a special "diamond" re-release of the album.

Those numbers are all from the same source so like it or not Eminem is right behind 2Pac and will catch him.

You really think AEOM hasnt sold at least 1 million since 1998 when it was certified 9 times platinum.

No I don't, not many albums sell 500,000 more copies 2 years and 4 months after they were released.

Haha @ you fools believing anything that refers to album sales as being "official".

And Master P has pushed over 75 million units in his career.

^^ true where do u think he got his 500 million from?
the night club he owns?? hell naaah
u guyz forgot when even 504 boyz sold a million copies?? lol
and btw ppl always think thatsellin 1million copies is easy
i highly doubt aeom sold a million since it was certified 9x platinum
it took nas 7 years to sell 1 milion, with all the exposure and major releases he had
7 YEARS, can u imagine that
