When "Better Dayz" comes out next month, Pac will break the 40 million mark [unless something amazing happens and the album completely bombs]......He sells an average of 4 million every time out, and if he does so this time [and he most likely will], he will break the 40 million mark. Thats just amazing. No other rapper is even close to that, and with the way Pac sells records, he's gonna catch the Stones; if he stays on the same pace......

'Pac selling is impressive 'cause he did it by skillz and raw talent, and not by just sell out. People feel his lyrics.

Nothing to add. Pac was been at the same time a black man who MOVED THINGS. Who made albums, movies, trials, poetry, etc.. all in just 4-5 years. Nelly in 10 years can do everything he wants. He can USE his success to make money or movies or things like that.
PAC USED HIS TALENT. And he's still alive, 6 years after his death.

Plus the fact he was murdered.
He might have sold 10 million before he died. And now apparently he's at 40.

Word! It's not about sold records, it's about the music..
-
2pac sold 40 million as a RAPPER, Nelly sold so much as a POPSTAR. That`s why it`s cool to see that 2pac is gonna reach that limit

So aiming his music at females is selling out? Hmmm, not to me. 'Pac was just a very smart man, it's a fact that the majority of music (albums, singles etc) is bought by females, 'Pac knew how to use that to his advantage but he also had the quality material to back it up. People were and still are attracted to his music and his whole lifestyle because he was real and he spoke up about things that everyone else was scared to at that time, and the shit he spoke about is still relevant today.

Most of Pac's sales are inflated cause he has like 3 or 4 double albums...So really he has sold like 20 million...Plus the fact is that a lot of heads bought his albums after he died especially here on the East Coast...That's the truth...
-
he already broke that mark man, he's about 42 millions or so now

Ok, his CDs before his deaths sales.
2Pacolypes Now - 500,000
Strickly For My N.I.G.G.A.Z. - 1 million
Thug Life - 500,000
Me Against the World - 3 million
All Eyez On Me - 6 million, but since it's a double, we'll say 3, though the fact that it cost $25 instead of $12.50 which was the CD price at the time did 'cause some people to not buy it, like me, who waited until later to get, when I got a job.
Anyways, 8 million before his death. After his death those CDs sales all double except All Eyez On Me, which sold 10 million now. Over 6 years, that tends to happen with good CDs, wither the CD is good or not. After all, most were not feeling R U Still Down, and sales reflected that.
2Pac was also killed at the height of his career, meaning that he was probley due for many classic CDs, and big sales debuts. Who knows what would happen with 2Pac, but it amazes me that he can sell so much without all the hype behind it. Every other album, you get months of hype, with 'Pac, you put it on the shelf, and you see sales. R U Still Down had a cartoon video, but Still I Rise and Until The End Of Time both had weak videos and singles in terms of TRL, and in terms of overall radio hype, it played, but was never hyped. So people buy his albums because they know they'll hear good music, and the name 2Pac means something that will be great.
