He is probably responsible for over 80 million records sold.

His own two albums have moved about 10 million altogether.

he is one of the best rappers, hes judged just because he only put out two albums, but both are classics well the first one is certified but i think the second one is arguable

it's probably including the albums he's produced (Doggystyle, NWA records, DOC, Eazy etc) and executive produced (Eminem) and possibly singles...

Last time I checked riaa a few weeks back...Chronic sold 3M and 2001 was at 7M.  Dre is probably the most unselfish artist around. Imagine if he kept his beats to himself and just had himself and a guest rapper on every track. Hands down, he would be considered the best rapper of all time becuz he would have outsold everyone. Every hit by eminem, 50 cent, game could have had Dre solo with other rappers guest spottin. Hell if Dre kept California Love all to himself, there would be none of this Tupac GOAT talk all the time.

so true ey, thats one of the things that made me respect him alot more ... he never tries to outshine on his own artist, and always appear in all thier videos, unlike p diddy
