I never really ever liked Nelly or DMX.

I actually hate DMX.

2pac has always been a big favorite.. so he would probably be one of the highest...

How come you don't own Life After Death???

A couple of things: I thought Speakerbox/Love Below went 'Diamond' meaning it sold over 10 mill. copies.

And didnt the Fugees 'The Score' sell a shit load too?

I guess Im not that invested in this, cause I didnt even bother to google for myself. ANybody know?

You guys keep recalling RIAA figures; these are Soundscan's.

VikFoxx said:

oh yeah!!

I have these. I've never been a fan of Eminem (other than "Stan") and I absolutely loathe Nelly and Juvenile (although "Ha" never fails to make me laugh, so I guess comic relief counts for something). I'm apparently a bizarro 2Pac fan, because I really only liked him during the early "If My Homie Calls"/"I Get Around"/"Brenda's Got a Baby"/"Keep Ya Head Up" phase. I still don't know how they can leave "If My Homie Calls" off his hits albums.

The first thing I thought of when I saw this list: People need to buy more P.E. and Eric B. & Rakim.

Here's what I own on the list:

the rest i didnt buy myself but i heard them enough times thru others around me that had them(Esp 2001,nellyville,etc lol).plus im sure i bought a single if i liked the song enough for some of the older albums.

Only ones I have on the list are OutKast and Salt 'n Pepa.

Got all those,I like a lot of Rap and R&B
music,but not a lot of people of my age I know like it the way I do.
Their loss

Cinnie said:

Exactly. Just because an album is CERTIFIED Diamond, doesn't mean it has actually SOLD 10,000,000. This is RAW sales data, not certifications from record companies.

Just as an example, Mariah is NOTORIOUS for having albums CERTIFIED well above what the actual RAW SALES are (in the 90's moreso)...EX: Daydream is CERTIFIED Diamond by the RIAA but it actually has only SCANNED close to 7.6 million copies (as of early this year). This list actually looks pretty damn accurate, before even opening the thread I assumed Eminem would be number one on the list just based on RAW SALES DATA....NOT CERTS!

for ALL of Eminem's albums being in the list

I only bought:


15. Outkast - Speakerboxxx/The Love Below - 5.605.000

Kind of surprises me that Public Enemy, Cypress Hill & NWA are all absent, I remember those acts completely ruling in the years their big records came out.

Maybe they only ruled my subculture of "white alternative rocker dudes that also like some rap, especially the edgy stuff."

Of this list, I own Snoop's debut & the Beasties'.

The first rap album I bought was The Score from the Fugees

20% of the top 20 best-selling rap albums are by Eminem... predictable, but ridiculous nonetheless.

NO RUN DMC

THAT'S JUST
