Pac is the top selling hiphop artist of all time...

Double albums count as twice the sales.  So if Eminem puts out a double album he'll most likely get 14 million in sales or so which should be enough to pass 2Pac.   If he puts out 5 double albums like 2Pac did, then forget it about... it won't even be close.

Yea but will he put out that much double albums? will he even put out one? we can't speculate liek that and it makes sense to count a double album as 2 cd's especially before because the prices were so much higher, but nowadays i dont' think double cd's should be counted as 2 because the prices are so close to single disc prices it jsut is rediculous, so yea pac wil remain the best selling rapper for a while i think.

A double disk album counts as 2 albums on soundcan.

I don't know if you just copy and pasted but you have singles there and a soundtrack.  Also, 9 times platinium for a double CD doesn't equal 9 million copies sold.

Just refer to my post a few spots up.  That's correct.

[GangstaBoogy]

"All Eyez On Me" is still only at 5 mill after all these years? Its been sayin that for a minute, I woulda thought it woulda been up. Especially after the re-release of it.

[AlerG]

so you don't count singles, are you serious, and yes obviously the 9x really means 4.5 mill...i'm prettu sure you can count that soundtrack it's all pac shit 

peace.

[bjax]

Singles shouldn't count.  But if you really wanted to count them, then why didn't you include any of Eminem's singles?

[topdogg187]

because of the simple fact that none of them have gone gold or platinum. Nobody buys eminem singles, he hasn't had any #1 songs on billboard, people jsut rush out to buy his albums not his singles.

[AlerG]

thank you ^^ if they were certified i would've posted them, peace.

[7even]

fuck counting double albums twice. that kind of system is straight rubbish. Em owns Pac. Encore is not even counted, and he's going to release at least 3 additional albums.

Just face it.

[Thuglife]

Eminem doesn't deserve to be in the top 10 best selling rappers of all time. And why does it matter how much albums u sell, its about the quality not the quantity.

Exactly! and we all know the quality of 2pac songs shits over the quality of the shit em be releasing, just face it.

^that's a matter of taste.. Technically, Em owns Pac. His lyrics are more complex and his beats are better.

I think em's beats are repetitive and boring, but liek you said it's all a matter of taste so i ain't gonan hate, but i will break it down as i see it:

lyrically - eminem
flow/delivery - 2pac
subject matter - 2pac
charisma - 2pac
voice - 2pac

really lyrics is the only category i'd give to eminem, and when i mean lyrically i'm jsut saying technically em is a better lyricisty but to me 2pacs lyrics are much better because they have meaning and they are deep lyrics that i can relate to, so theres my view on this.
