Difference is, Nelly's album is much cheaper......selling 5 million copies of a double cd is far more impressive than selling 8 million of a single cd.Nelly's album is like $11.99 at most places, while AEOM is a $25 double cd.
I bought AEOM for $19.99 the day it came out in '96...The stats are misleading though because only 5 million people own that album...
Quote from: LazyLatino on January 02, 2003, 06:06:04 AMbullshit. You people who say Eazy is responsible for Pac's success are a fucking trip. Yall have yet to show me one piece of HARD evidence that shows Eazy is responsible for Pac's success.Just because Eazy and Ice T pioneered gangsta rap doesnt mean they are fully responsible for Pac's success. I promise you, if Eazy never existed, Pac woulda still sold millions of records. And yes, Strictly had Public Enemy type beats. Listen to Fear Of A Black Planet, then listen to Strictly 4 My Niggaz......very similiar production..Also, I dont know where you've been, but AEOM is past 10 million now. Bullshit? I gave you all the evidence you needed..but becuz you dont know SHIT about rap you didnt get it. Pac was goin barely Platinum with his other records BEFORE All Eyes on Me. You talkin about the production..if you didnt know in 1993 EVERYBODY and their moma did HIPHOP beats. Then came a group called Above the law and a dude named Dr Dre and changed the sound of the Westcoast..with funk and synths and shit. Those same beats that 2pac used for his ALL EYES ON ME record. When i said 6 million i was referring at the time this record "new" of course it has sold over 10 million by now..its 2003 now But i guess this is hard for you to understand, you werent probably even born in 1988.You little ignorant fuck. I was born in 1978 and was listening to hip hop before you even knew what the fuck it was, so dont ever, ever question my knowlege again. Again, Pac's album sales before AEOM are completely irrelvent to Eazy having impact on Pac. There is no connection there whatsoever, NONE. The reason AEOM sold so much more than his previous albums were A. California Love was HUGE, and was easily his biggest single to date, B. AEOM was his most commercial album, and C. It was released on Death Row.......Eazy had no impact on Pac. NONE. Big singles and Death Row Records are what made Pac blow up [besides the fact that just mad cats were feelin him]....lmao at you thinking AEOM and Pac blew up because of Eazy. Im done with this argument. This shit is too easy. If someone can actually put up a LEGIT challenge against me, ill be more than happy to debate. But if you're gonna post something like this cat above me did, dont even bother.Ignorant?? You are tha ignorant mothafucka! If you gonna argue about some shit..now YOUR SHIT! and READ the posts before postin shit, i NEVER said that Pac Blew because of Eazy..he was ABLE to do that Because of Eazy and Ice-T..."who started this gangsta shit??" Anybody who think that Pac would have gotten so big cuz:1) He was on DeathRow (Who would NEVER had happen without Ruthless Records in the first place)2) He claimin to be a Thug and a G, instead of rappin only Dear Mama songs IS A GODDAMN FOOL!PeaceAnd Btw in none of your posts have you even been close of proof that you know more about this hiphop shit than me..BITCH!

I do know this, 'Pac was on Interscope, found by Digital Underground, and took more out of Rakim, KRS-One, Public Enemy, and Kool G Rap than Eazy E. And Kool G Rap was thug too.
I agree, sales dont mean shit.....Illmatic is living proof of that. But nevertheless, the numbers AEOM put up [and still put up] are amazing. Before that album dropped, it was thought you had to be MC Hammer to sell those kind of units. Pac was the first legit rapper to prove otherwise.
really.... what makes 2pac a more legit artist than mc hammer? mc hammer was a gimmick with pop rap, pac was a gimmick rapper with controversy
