I'm surprised to see the beastie boys that high on the list i didn't know they sold that much, and i wonder where biggie fits into that cause i always though he was top 3 or 5 cuz i'm pretty sure he's sold like 16-18 million too.

No way.  

Ready To Die sold 4, Life After Death did 5 and Born Again did probably 2.

Biggie sold 11 million.

it doesnt really surprise me...the beasties released quite a few albums and people still bump their shit on the regular...while i dont like them personally most people do.

*hint*life after death was a double cd therefore 1 album sold counts as 2 copies sold therefore 5 million albums = diamond *hint*

All time sales isn't really fair. Especially when Pac has like 12 more albums than Biggie does. I bet Bone isn't on the top 10 list of most units sold of one album. I know Pac, Eminem, Snoop, and 50 Cent are...but who else?

Hmmmmm, so that's why Eminem plans a double CD, and Jay-Z released one..

If Eminem sells as much Eminem Show with the double CD, he will actually go double diamond..
10 mill. x 2CD = 20 mill.

Meaning that Eminem will jump from 18-20 something to 38+, and pass Pac with one CD..
Clever.. lol
