i was listenin to the em show 2day and heard dre on "say what u say" (track 17).. he said somthin about sellin 80 million albums :o.. that was b4 em show.. add eminem show, grodt, encore, documentary, & massacre... i think he sold the 100 millionth just a few weeks/months ago
-
too bad he only released 2 albums which werent even solos and some people claim he is one of the best rappers
-
no one said he was the best rapper...
-
A lot.
-
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
-
^^ he isnt one of the best rappers....he is one of the best hiphop artist overall tho....he doesnt write most of his lyrics
peace
-
"The Chronic" sold sumthin like 6 million copies, and "2001" sold somethin like 7 million copies...
-
it's probably including the albums he's produced (Doggystyle, NWA records, DOC, Eazy etc) and executive produced (Eminem) and possibly singles...

or produce his beats

thats what im talking about, lol, i dont think he could have sold 80 mill on his 2 albums and the old nwa shit :P dre hasnt gone diamond on chronic OR 2001?!?! thats crazy
-
80 million prolly during NWA- last deathrow days
shiit aftermath alone sold more than 80 million
-
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
-
on mtv's highest selling rappers' lists, it actually said he sold nearly 18 mil off his 2 solo albums. it was like 17.8 or some shit
-
detox wont sell as much as chronic or chronic 2001, because all these fuckers will download the shit instead of buying it ::)
-
chronic sold waaaay more 3 mill
ppl say it reached 7 or 8 million cause alotta copies were sold in moms and pops stores and weren't counted by sounscan
i mean fo'real u need to tell me that there's some one in compton back in 1992 that didnt buy the chronic

bomb-a lmfao at that anime gif
lol

Spot on, thats what the line was talking about.
-
Dre doesn't have to go diamond on his solo's! His main role is a producer; record sales from artist he's resonsible for should be included just like his verse from "Say What You Say" meant.
-
Fuck buying music
-
Chronic Sold 8-9 million, and 2001 sold about 7 million copies, but if you count all the other countless albums he has had a big influence on than yea i agree that he is well over 80 million records sold.

yeah that sound s right. 8) 8) 8)
