This list is very fucked up. I mean.. if we talk about worldwide sales, then rappers like The Fugees, Warren G are, Will Smith, etc.. are in the top 10 for sure. You just cant do a complete list, man. Cause it doesnt mean a thing if you consider only US sales. Warren G's albums all sold more in Europe than in the US. LOL. And i think it's the same with The Fugees and Will Smith.

I don't think anybody is catching up to 2Pac...Especially if they keep releasing albums from him...I went to riaa.com and The Eminem Show has already been certified for 4X Platinum...If Eminem ever released a double album he'd probably have the best selling rap album ever...

aight check this

2pac n biggie are dead, they wont be puttin up many more numbers

snoop isnt the type to go past platinum nowdays, so he wont push many more

jay z, hes fadin out, ever since that nas beef hes been fadin out so i doubt he'll move much more either

DMX, no one gives a shit about him anymore, so he aint movin shit

MC hammer, self explanatory

eminem, he'll be movin up on that list

Dre, one more album....lets see what it will do

Will Smith....i dunno, lol

BTNH, comon yall, their the only ones besides eminem that are gonna be pushin major units, their career isnt even close to bein over, they got atleast 3 more albums comin out plus another collection and a greatest hits, then...they also got older shit sellin, so i say, they will be movin up on that list and they will be in the top five in a few years...ATLEAST

Bone has sold waaaaay more than 11 million. Their group albums combined [not including solos] have sold almost 20 million, with E.1999 Eternal selling about 7 million of that total. Im pretty sure they are in the top 4 all time.

Pac EASILY holds the #1 spot, and probably always will. I think he has sold about 37 million total, in the USA. No one is even close to this guy.

DMX and Jay Z  have sold about 12 million each, and Eminem has sold over 15 million. Biggie has sold around 15 or 16 million. Snoop has sold MAYBE 13 million, at the most.

Best selling rap album of all time is probably All Eyez On Me, and if it isnt, it will be VERY soon, cuz that thing still sells like its brand new. Last I saw, it was well passed 10 million.
