If you're talking about right now, Dre, Jay Z, DMX, and Outkast all push mad units. Nas and Wu still sell well, and Bone has never gone less than platinum when they've made a group album [except Faces Of Death]. Snoop sells decently still. But I thought this thread was about older albums.....hahaha.

Jigga is rap's savior, basically.  His music is respected by the streets and the casual music fan, as well.  Also, he's respected by the critics as both XXL and the Source gave the Blueprint the highest rating possible.

actually jigga aint respected by a lot on tha streets,  by some but nearly all,  an he is respected by critics b/c he is straight pop an critics love that,  i wouldnt say he is was rap's savior,  tha only people i would consider saviors are nas,  wu tang,  an biggie b/c how they put tha east back on tha map in 94 an than dre saved tha west wit chronic 2001

Lets not forget about Pac. He's dead, but he still outsells the likes of DMX, Jay Z, Snoop, and Ja Rule.

Of course "still" refers to older shit. All Eyez On Me is 6 years old and it STILL sells more than most of the garbage that comes out today. DMX's album is falling off the charts rapidly. I guarantee you that album will be pushing less units than AEOM in a few weeks, lol.....
