3.Biggie- 16 million
4.MC Hammer- 16 million
5.Jay-z- 15 million
6.Eminem- 15 million
7.DMX- 13 million
8.Dr. Dre- 12 million
9.Will Smith- 12 million
10.BTNH- 11 million

-

-
I thought Biggie still sold more than Snoop
yeah i'm not sure on that homie i wuz kinda taking logical guesses here thas why i hope someone can correct me, but i am like almost 100% sure that 2pac,Snoop and Biggie are the top 3 best selling rappers of all time.
-
LL Cool J had got to be near the top....aswell as Too Short...Hes put out a shit load of cd's
I think top 5 are LL, PAC, BIG, SNOOP, EMINEM
IMO

Yeah your right about LL. 2pac got the number one spot for sure. A couple years ago, before Tha Last Meal, Biggie had number 2 but that could of changed.

yeah it could've homie because the last meal has sold 2 million copies and if u count the snoop dogg presents eastsidaz album as a snoop album then that adds another million to his list.

-
Well dat shit definately goes to 2pac......Snoop and Biggie would be next...I can't really say eminem and nelly cause they on the pop side like vanilla ice and mc hammer and i know i might get alot of heat for saying that shit but its da truth..check out dr.dre and snoop dippin in cadilacz 6'4 on "nuttin but a G Thang" Video and then check out Eminem latest video featuring dr.dre as Batman ridin in a bat mobile and noddin his head like he's crazy..Dre need to come back to the west!!!

did contry grammar sell 8mill in usa or in the whole world
-
This list is very fucked up. I mean.. if we talk about worldwide sales, then rappers like The Fugees, Warren G are, Will Smith, etc.. are in the top 10 for sure. You just cant do a complete list, man. Cause it doesnt mean a thing if you consider only US sales. Warren G's albums all sold more in Europe than in the US. LOL. And i think it's the same with The Fugees and Will Smith.
-
Ya'll should remember Fugee'z and Bone thug'z iz not a Solo Artist...Plus Both 2pac and Biggie cd'z actually sold 5 million but because its a double cd adds it up to 10 mill...ya digg!!!!.....it really sold 5 mill

well i was talkin bout only US sales man. But hey if u think u can make up a top 10 list of worldwide sales then be my guest!
-
did contry grammar sell 8mill in usa or in the whole world
nah man country grammar sold 8 million in the US alone.
-
I don't think anybody is catching up to 2Pac...Especially if they keep releasing albums from him...I went to riaa.com and The Eminem Show has already been certified for 4X Platinum...If Eminem ever released a double album he'd probably have the best selling rap album ever...
-
all that matters is U.S. sales no one cares about all the foreigners
-
aight check this
2pac n biggie are dead, they wont be puttin up many more numbers
snoop isnt the type to go past platinum nowdays, so he wont push many more
jay z, hes fadin out, ever since that nas beef hes been fadin out so i doubt he'll move much more either
DMX, no one gives a shit about him anymore, so he aint movin shit
MC hammer, self explanatory
eminem, he'll be movin up on that list
Dre, one more album....lets see what it will do
Will Smith....i dunno, lol
BTNH, comon yall, their the only ones besides eminem that are gonna be pushin major units, their career isnt even close to bein over, they got atleast 3 more albums comin out plus another collection and a greatest hits, then...they also got older shit sellin, so i say, they will be movin up on that list and they will be in the top five in a few years...ATLEAST

nah that aint true

Bone has sold waaaaay more than 11 million. Their group albums combined [not including solos] have sold almost 20 million, with E.1999 Eternal selling about 7 million of that total. Im pretty sure they are in the top 4 all time.
Pac EASILY holds the #1 spot, and probably always will. I think he has sold about 37 million total, in the USA. No one is even close to this guy.
DMX and Jay Z have sold about 12 million each, and Eminem has sold over 15 million. Biggie has sold around 15 or 16 million. Snoop has sold MAYBE 13 million, at the most.
Best selling rap album of all time is probably All Eyez On Me, and if it isnt, it will be VERY soon, cuz that thing still sells like its brand new. Last I saw, it was well passed 10 million.

fuck man just because bone and 2pac are your favorite artists doesn't mean they sold the most homie. Yeah i agree, 2pac has sold the most ever but hes not at 37 million he's at 33 million which is still very good. Secondly bone is nowhere near 20 million they are closer to about 15 million and Snoop is at least sold 16 million in the states alone because i read that one an official site once.
-
snoop is not 18 million, he is like 14-16 million. If doggystyle pushed 8 million units than snoop is at 18 million but 8 million has never been confirmed, last time it was checked it was at 5 million but that was in 96. also top dogg has yet to go double platnium. an tha doggfather is not 3x platnium. bone is at 17 million. creepin sold 4 million. an like doggystyle no1 is really sure of e.1999.eternal's sales either b/c they havnt been updated in years also. Both e.1999.eternal an doggystyle still 2 sell very good
-
I remember seeing on another site(before Pac's UTEOT) that the top three were:
1. MC Hammer
2. Biggie
3. Tupac
It could've changed since then, but that's the last I heard.
It took in account record sales, concert tickets, and merchandise.

nah where talkin strictly album sales
-
E.1999 Eternal sold 6 million...Layzie Bone said it on Angie Martinez show like a year ago...Doggystyle also sold 6 million...I think Snoop has sold between 13-15 million and Bone about the same...
-
Bone has sold more than Snoop, as much as yall wont admit it. Think about it. Doggystyle is the only big selling album Snoop made, and it sold like 6 or 7 million. Every other album he's made has sold 2 million or less. Bone has THREE albums that sold no less than 4 million each. I know Creepin sold 4 million and AOW sold 5 million.....E.1999 Eternal was at 7 million as of like 4 years ago, so its probably gone up. Plus Resurrection and the first Collection album both went platinum. Im not sayin this cuz Bone is one of my fav artists either, cuz I think they've fallen off big time, but facts are facts. Snoop has sold 13 million, 14 million TOPS. Bone has sold closer to 18 or 19 million, and thats not including their solo albums.
As for Pac, im pretty sure he is past 33 million. He is at 36 or 37 million..........check it:
2Paclaypse Now--gold
Strictly 4 My Niggaz--platinum
Thug Life Vol.1--gold
Me Against The World--2 million
All Eyez On Me--10 million
Makaveli--4 million
R U Still Down--4 million
Greatest Hits--9 million
Still I Rise--platinum
Until The End Of Time--4 million
Thats a total of 36 million.
Keep in mind, I have a friend who works for SoundScan, so my numbers aint bullshit. Whether you believe me or not, I could give a fuck, but those ARE the real numbers.
-
yo hellrazor, tha collection volume 2 also went plat
-
yo hellrazor, tha collection volume 2 also went plat
Really? Cuz according to SoundScan, it hasnt even gone gold yet, let alone platinum. Of course, I havent gotten any numbers from my boy in a while, but I remember that album did rather poorly on the charts.
Im really curios to see what the new Bone album does [though im more curios to see how good its gonna be].....if they get good promotion and have a hot single, they are capable of going multi-platinum, but they will need alot of promotion to get themselves jumpstarted again.
By the way, E.1999 Eternal has been selling SHITLOADS lately. That album has been in the top 5 on the hip hop catalog charts for like 3 months straight now. I seriously think that album is gonna go Diamond one day.
-
For the past 6 or 7 months, ive seen pretty much the same rap albums on the hiphop/RnB Catalog charts, with some changes here and there. But its usually the same albums, just a different position each week.
All Eyez On Me
Life After Death
Illmatic
Reasonable Doubt
E.1999 Eternal
Me Against The World
Ready To Die
Makaveli
2Pac Greatest Hits
The Chronic
^^^These 10 albums right here are ALWAYS on the catalog charts. ALWAYS. But since Em put out a new album, his first two albums have made an appearance as well. Ive seen 36 Chambers, Its Dark And Hell Is Hot, Doggystyle, 2001, License To Ill, and It Was Written on there also, but only on occasion....not nearly as much as the above 10 albums.

yeah well to my knowledge the solo bone thugs album didn't seel shit newayz so that wouldn't help. But if u do count solo albums by bone thugs and then u would have to count the other albums snoop did like eastsidaz, murder was the case, etc. so right there that added about 4 million more to snoops overall sales.

Do any of y'all know the top 10 selling rap artists of all time and how much each of them sold in their careers? heres how i think it should look about:

80 million is everything he executive produced goin from NWA 2 tha eminem
-
he's only sold 8 million homie.
over 10 mio

check out dr.dre and snoop dippin in cadilacz 6'4 on "nuttin but a G Thang" Video and then check out Eminem latest video featuring dr.dre as Batman ridin in a bat mobile and noddin his head like he's crazy..Dre need to come back to the west!!!
Itīs not a "BatMobile" itīs the same car Dre drives in "Forgot About Dre" and its really cool of them not trying to prove their gangztas anymore, i dont respect theese rappers anymore, cuz the G-Rappers on TV today are just bad imitators to Dre, Snoop, 2pac etc, but theese guys, i respected, not cuz their was "Gangztas" because they brought us something new and thats what we call "GangztaRap" today!!! They dont need to prove anything!!! They know that they make the BEST rap music in the world today, and for me - thats what counts!!!
U dont have to be ashamed for laughing...
Peace
