Great news for 'Pac fans, His last album was the best selling Rap/Hip-Hop album ofthe year clocking over 3 Mil sales, just 2 millin sales behid the top seller of all genres, Shaggy's "Hotshot". Here's the passage from RIAA.COM:
"Despite his untimely death in 1996, Tupac Shakur continues to release multi-Platinum-selling recordings. 2001 was no exception as the hip-hop legend's "Until The End of Time" was certified Gold, Platinum, and triple Platinum, easily making it the best selling hip-hop record of the year. He remains the best selling hip-hop artist in history, with cumulative sales of more than 33 million albums."
-
Yep.......actually though, I think his sales are closer to 36 million, cuz I dont think they are counting the Makeveli album.......
-
that because bitch knight update daily. pleez don't tell me that was the only tripple platinum of the year ::)

for rap it was.....

hmm anyways
-
They count double albums twice. So it really only sold 1.5 million albums. The same thing happened with Biggies album. It just went Diamond, but it has only sold 5 million copies.
-
true , very true , ya'll can't say it's bullshit cause ya'll know that... but i know some fool gonna try to fuck against that
-
DAMN!!!! THAT ALBUM DID NOT EVEN HAVE ANY PROMO. THAT JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT IF YOU MAKE A REALLY GOOD ALBUM THAT YOU DONT NEED PROMO. BUT I GUESS BEING DEAD IS THE BEST PROMO YOU CAN GET UHH. JUST LOOK HOW MANY THE BEATLES SOLD. LIKE 12 OR 13 MILL. BUT NO HE WAS NOT THE ONLY HIPHOP ALBUM TO GO THREE TIMES. TERRIBLE ASS JA RULE WENT THREE TIMES BECAUSE OF THE LADIES.

True, but they have to count double albums as twice, cuz if the high price tag.......
-
they can't count like that cause it's only one personne who bouth the album , not two persone so it's the results /2
-

well you know what,you should learn to spell person
-
ha ha ha... u know whut , my first language is french n i wrote it so fast that i didn't see it , but u understand so why ya trippin
-

Do you think the money hungry Record Companies give a lovely fuck if you are One-person or 2-people? No. To them, someone gave them MONEY for 2 albums; so why not count it like that?
-
cause it ONE persone who bought the album NOT TWO so THEY SHOULD COUNT IT LIKE one album not two ... they just fucked people up with the results so people like ya think that the albumm sales unbelievable sale but it just in the normal..... anyways , think how ya'll want i'm done with this shit... " when ya'll understand this shit i'll be done with it"

Its not normal though, cuz double albums are alot more expensive. Its easier for 5 million people to buy a single cd than it is for 5 million to buy a double cd..........thats why double cd's count as two.
-
why isn't it normal ... look if u buy a bicycle fo your kid at 100 $ then u buy another one fo u at 300$ .... does that mean u bought 4 little bike ....sure u got to pay more , the quality is better , theres more track thats it . but still it's one personne not two not three who bought the think
-
i see it like this,theres 2 disks worth of music right? so therefore it should count as 2 sold
-
it ain't about two cd's man , it's about the number of tracks.... there's too many track to get into one cd so they make a doubble cd but it's still one
-
who cares,its just the way they do it...
-

Taken from billboard.com:
"For boxed sets, and double albums with a running time that exceeds 100 minutes or more, the RIAA multiplies shipments by the number of discs and/or tapes."
There ya have it.....
-
Taken from billboard.com:
"exceeds 100 minutes or more...
see that exeed 100 cause a normal cd is about 80 minutes
-
see that exeed 100 cause a normal cd is about 80 minutes
And 80 minutes is a VERY long single cd. Most single cd's are 50-75 minutes long.
But albums like All Eyez On Me, Art Of War, Life After Death, TM 1999, and the like are all 2 hrs+ [120 minutes or more].

yeah , doggystyle was like 53...m ... but this shit is dope , nowadays cd 's are flood over skits and other bullshits

Yo Slickk, imagine you're an artist, and you decide to make a double album. You spend double time with your pen & pad, double time in the booth, double money on producers, double mixing, double mastering. You suffer because of some lazy mofos that dont buy your album cuz its too expensive 4 them. So, how yo funky PERSONE would feel if all those mofos in stores would say fuck that I give $15 for that, gimme my CD!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK MAN A RAPPER DOES DOUBLE WORK WHY NOT PAY HIM 4 THAT? ? ?
-
LOL, Slickk, can't you just congratulate! God damn. Pac still got it, he's the G.O.A.T, in QUALITY and QUANTITY!

yeah it's aight to pay an artist 40 box fo a doubble album , thats ain't whut i'm sayin i'm talkin about coutin , it'S like when u buyin some shoes, don't tell me u would buy 1 shoes cause the people who done it was tired of doing it . so u buyin just one , n u pay 200$ fo it... it's the same , if u buy some jordan , the price is higher then if u buy some reebok , it's the quality , in this case iT's about the number of track , a doubble cd can be about 30 tracks . if an artist could put all those track in one cd. they wouldn't be stupid to put another just fo fun , that pay fo every supplement . so they wanna make a doubble album that their problem but they shouldn't count this as twice .
-

-
slikk---do you fuckin have down syndrome or some shit? which part of this don't you understand? its a double fucking cd. i understand you're french so i'll make it clear. double means that there are 2 (thats right i said TWO) cd's in the package. you are paying for 2 cd's. the price reflects this idea. that means that every time someone buys it, they are paying for (here we go again) 2 CD'S!!! i think my dog could understand this concept if i explained to him half as thoroughly as i did to you. FUCK!!!!!

-
how is he being stupid?
he broke it down well.
there are TWO cd's that you pay for, so therefor it counts as 2 cd's
see slick when you go to buy 2 snoop dogg (becuase i can't see you buying anything else) cd's at the record store it counts as 2 people buying it ....double cd's are the same thing TWO cd's that are just in the same package
-
