I guess you forgot to include the D12 in the comparision since you had the Thug Life album in there, plus Pac had a greatest hits album with 4 more doubles listed.
Eminem averages over 6 million copies an album and 2Pac can't touch that. When Eminem has 5 albums he'll be passed Pac who's got like 10. Unless something drastic happens, I don't see Eminem selling poorly. If you count copies and not units, Em has already pased him.
It's funny seeing the Bones thugs fans with their inflated numbers. So 1999 went 6 or 9x plat and RIAA just doesn't feel like certifying them? Or just forgot? I believe RIAA before some dude on a message board for the group's website or some guy's friend. Maybe if it was 1 mill. off it might be 5x plat. but no way 9x.

Again, Eminem will never catch Pac in sales. NEVER. He's fucking 17 million behind Pac. And yea, Pac has alot of double albums, but thats the way shit works. Double albums count as more, even if less people bought them. You have to remember, Em's albums are like 15 bucks each, while an album like AEOM is a 25 dollar double disc......And Em may average 6 million now, but thats only because he has 3 friggin albums. When he has more albums, his average will go down, mark my words. If you take Pac's 3 highest selling albums, and put them up against Em's 3 highest, Pac's average will be higher.
Em aint ever gonna catch him, since Pac is still releasing albums, not to mention Pac's older albums still sell like they just came out yestarday.
And yes, E.1999 Eternal has sold 7 million. Its not that the RIAA doesnt want to certify them, but if you read my other post, you will see that the label has to pay for certifications. If they dont pay, they dont get the certification, even if the album has gone up. E.1999 Eternal was passed 6 million in 96'. Ruthless Records just hasnt bothered to purchase a certification from the RIAA, thus the album hasnt been updated.
