As of this week Jay-Z has sold 29,106,000 albums in the USA. Passing 2Pac, he is 2nd only to eminem

http://riaa.com/goldandplatinum.php?content_selector=top-selling-artists 2pac has him by 10 mil

That's obviously not updated, as it still has him ahead of Eminem.

If it needs to be updated,why does it have the same number the thread starter gave for jay. Do you feel they need to add more to pac and make it wider?

to the legends for pushin all those units. Either way its a win for Hiphop

Don't compare a regional acts like Big L and Mac Dre to Pac stop it. Pac also had two double albums that eventually went diamond (Greatest Hits and All Eyez On Me), double CD's counts as two if 5 million people it counts as if 10 million people bought the album so Pac's numbers are inflated a bit.

2Pac's product wasn't so good, it wasn't a step above every other rapper like Pac stans make it seem. Several MC's best can go toe to toe with Pac's best CD's.

Talk to em .nikkas are sheep and believe the hype about that wakk ass nikka

My favorite rapper is Nas bruh.He BEEN outshined pac In every aspect of hip hop 18-20 years ago

Better stories,better bars,better albums,better conscious tracks,better features,better concept songs,better battle/diss bars,better career and he didn't have to die to be recognized as a legend

Huh?

AEOM sold 5 mil before his death
Strictly 4 My nikkaz was plat
MATW was double plat
2Pacalypse and Thug Life were both Gold

And Makaveli might as well count as an album released when he was alive, the shyt was already complete and dropped the very next month

Hail Mary was already a smash single, Hit Em Up was also makin mad noise so Pac was still on pace to do numbers

If anything Pac dying fukked up those album sales, he wasn't around to make enough videos or really promote it

A strong argument can be made that Pac woulda sold way more records had he lived

nikkas actin like if he hadn't survived them shots in Vegas his next album wasnt gon sell another 5 million...Dyin I admit can inflate ya sells when people already fukk with you,but the fact he kept sellin long after he died is a testimate to the quality of his music and people liking him as a rapper....death has a expiration date where people will buy whatever related to the artist who dies for a limited time right after they die...matter of fact that cac eminemn killed all of Pacs selling power with that weedplate Loyal to The Game...people realized it was all over at that point and they was at the bottom of the barrel

I also don't appreciate the Jay hate,u got the man fighting ghost still...I would love to see him pass Eminem...yall got a lot of nerve hating on Jay when the person who really don't belong on that list is the one whos in the number one spot....yall fightin over the 2 and 3 spot while the white man is sitting back and laughing at yall....now if we agree to ignore Eminem being in the number one spot,and Jays spot is the true number one than we can continue to discuss this

we gotta factor in AEOM being the most stolen album of all time,plus it hasn't been recertified since the 90's...no damn well Pac should have another 2 million added on.

nikka got outshined by old Pac verses on Thugs Mansion...Pac saying "fukk Jayz" is one of the most memorable parts of Ether....Me and My Girlfriend is more loved than I gave you power...they both legends but don't act like it aint levels to this..Nas needed Pac to die and get Big killed to make room for him to be one of the few breathing goats,but nah that wasn't a big enuff of an assist...Jay said thank u by running with the opportunity while Nas failed horribly...and then needed Jay to give him life once again...least Pac died becuz he died,Nas died bcuz nikkas in his own state who he had a big head start on lapped his azz..how the fukk new nikkas like DMX and Jay battling for Kony while u watch from the sidelines

If Jay hadn't breathed life back into that nikka his story might be a lot different,yall remember that next time u shytting on Jay
