Few albums I was surprised to see on there.
-
So the best selling rap album of all time is MC Hammer, and 2nd is Big's Life After Death? That's a surprise for me.
-
i hope everybody sees that 2Pac aint number 1!
i though "Thriller" pushed 50million?
-
kid rock sold 10 mill? thats a surprise to me.
-
Hooooooooooooooooooootie :D
-
Wow, The Eagles sold more than Michael Jackson? That's pretty shocking.
-
god damn Garth Brooks

Big really only did 5 million (riaa doubles the numbers for double albums)....
MC Hammer is the king!
Michael Jackson has the highest numbers worldwide with Thriller (46 million). These figures are just US Sales...
-
highest sellin rappers with single albums
hammer 20 mill
fugees 20 ( i suppose)
eminem 9 mill
nelly i sold 8 or 9 i guess
i dunno what are these numbers but am sure hammer sold 20 mill and fugess sold somn around that
maybe they were world wide sales
-
god damn Garth Brooks
yea...that dude sells a lot
and Led Z sold shit load aswell
-

2Pac doesn't have the Best Selling Rap Album of all time but he is still by far the Best Selling Rapper Ever with more than 38 Million Sold in the US alone.

Try over 50 million.
AEOM was certified 9 x platinum almost 7 years ago, and has been a steady catalog seller since. It has passed BIGs Life after Death and MC Hammers album most likely.
-
WHO THE FUCK ARE THE EAGLES?
jk, but really I dont know a single damn person who bought that album.

yeah that's what i was thinking because i heard AEOM had gone diamond but that was years ago. I'm pretty sure it passed Hammers and BIGs albums
-
every old man i know owns that eagles album and led zeppelin iv.....i wouldn't be suprised if more albums passed thriller, because mj's sells have been falling drastically and pink floyd, led zeppelin and the beatles keep increasing their catelouges every year
-
I love these 2Pac groupies trying to boost his album sales to look better. Just look at the link. AEOM did not sell more than Biggie's album.
And he's not "by far" the best selling rapper. Eminem will catch him. His average per album is way higher than 2Pac's.

No way Em will catch him. Pac is Certified for over 38 million in sales and Em is certified for 24 and Pac still puts an album out every year and sellf 1-2 million and Em's sales are starting to decline as well his next album may not even reach 4x platinum cause encore barely did, so It is a possiblity he may catch him but at that pace i don't think so because I don't think Em has many albums left in him.
-
^^ how is selling 4.6 milllion barely 4 x platinum and still pushin 20k+ a week
only one competing with em's sales is 50(which em makes more money off than 50) and used to be nelly
pac aeom didnt go diamond it is certified 9x platinum
same goes for biggie and they both reached that status because of the double album thing so basically both never reached 5x platinum
i think that only ppl who went diamond are fugees and mc hammerboth off single disks
-
2Pac - 2Pacalypse Now - 500K
2Pac - Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. - 1 mill.
2Pac - Me Against the World - 2 mill.
2Pac - All Eyez on Me - 5 mill.
2Pac - The 7 Day Theory - 4 mill.
2Pac - R U Still Down - 4 mill.
2Pac - Greatest hits - 5 mill.
2Pac - Until the end of time - 2 mill.
2Pac - Betta Dayz - 2 mill.
2Pac - Loyal 2 The Game - 1 mill.
= 26.5 million copies
Eminem - Slim Shady LP - 4 mill.
Eminem - Marshal Mathers LP - 9 mill.
Eminem - The Eminem Show - 8 mill.
Eminem - Encore - 4 mill.
= 25 million copies
And I was rounding up for 2Pac.
-
no offense to u at all
but these numbers rnt even accurate, they r far less than that
2Pac - 2Pacalypse Now - 300K
2Pac - Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. -500 K
2Pac - Me Against the World - 1 mill.
2Pac - All Eyez on Me - 4. some thing mill. (if it reached 5 it woulda been certified diamond , which is not the case
2Pac - The 7 Day Theory - 7 mill.
2Pac - Greatest hits - 4. some thing too ( look at aeom)
2Pac - Until the end of time - 1 mill.
2Pac - Betta Dayz - 1 mill.
2Pac - Loyal 2 The Game - 1 mill.
i dunno about this one
2Pac - R U Still Down - 4 mill.
but assuming its accurate
25 million copies
as for eminem
Eminem - Slim Shady LP - 5 mill.
Eminem - Marshal Mathers LP - 9 mill.
Eminem - The Eminem Show - 8 mill.
Eminem - Encore - 4.6 mill. and still counting.....
= 27.5 million and still counting
thats only off 4 LP's
and to be fair comparing the first 4 albums of both MC's
eminem= 27.5 and tupac =6.8
of course this has nuthin to do with talent and whose a better MC
am just trying to co sign u
and the only reason am spending so much time on this is that i have a final exam 2morow and i dont feel like studying
so am doing any thing to avoid studying lol
props any ways
-
^^^What's your source for all those numbers?
Mine are all from the RIAA.
-
Dont believe all the numbers you see at RIAA.......alot of the numbers aint been updated in ages. All Eyez On Me is listed there as 9 million, but that shits been past 10 million for over 3 years now. Some of RIAA's numbers are fine, but alot of them arent. Remember, lables have to pay for certifications, so alot of albums dont get updated, thus the albums dont look like they've gone up, but indeed have. Alot of Pac's numbers aint updated. Im pretty sure Me Against The World has gone up since its last certification, as has 2Pacalypse Now, R U Still Down, etc etc....
50 million...
-
I don't think so. Those are Pac's numbers, just accept that. 26.5 million copies in the U.S., that's it.
Like Suge wouldn't pay to certify AEOM to get it diamond status and have a special "diamond" re-release of the album.
Those numbers are all from the same source so like it or not Eminem is right behind 2Pac and will catch him.

You really think AEOM hasnt sold at least 1 million since 1998 when it was certified 9 times platinum.
-
No I don't, not many albums sell 500,000 more copies 2 years and 4 months after they were released.
-
who gives a fuck who sold mo, pac shits all over em, nuff said.........even ems a groupie
peace
-
Haha @ you fools believing anything that refers to album sales as being "official".
And Master P has pushed over 75 million units in his career.
-
^^ true where do u think he got his 500 million from?
the night club he owns?? hell naaah
u guyz forgot when even 504 boyz sold a million copies?? lol
and btw ppl always think thatsellin 1million copies is easy
i highly doubt aeom sold a million since it was certified 9x platinum
it took nas 7 years to sell 1 milion, with all the exposure and major releases he had
7 YEARS, can u imagine that
-
where did everyone hear MJ pushed 50 mill ? he only pushed 26 or something...
-
also tupac had a double CD.
-
i wonder how many cd Run-Dmc have sold
-

50 is worldwide...
26 is US sales...
-
all eyes on me was certified 9x platinum in 98, but since 2001 they count double albums as double disc. So all eyes on me must be something around 18 million... but in the guiness book they say he sold 50 million worldwide. I think vanilla ice sold something like 18 million worldwide, but in the us i dont know.

Double LPs were alwats counted as 2. This dates back to Pink Floyd's The Wall from '79, The Beatles White Album etc. Pac may have 50 worldwide but Em has a lot more than 26 world wide. MMLP and Em Show each did over 15 world wide. Besides who cares who the highest selling rapper is? None are anywhere near the top artists of all time. It's like asking who's the best Canadian Basketball player in the NBA. Nash is a good player but calling him the best Canadian of all time doesn't mean shit. Most of Pac's record sales come from post death sales and double albums. If Eminem died today and released a double album every two years, he'd destroy every record Tupac could even think of getting. Em is more popular, so what? Get over it. 2Pac is still the better artist.
