Ok. But the shyt was not selling like doggystyle. shyt was going through the normal process of rap albums. Then he died
the album went from 69 to 18th on billboard

im counting MATW which was certified double plat in dec 95 and Aeom and Makaveli
How he sell 10 million with all eyez on me
but makaveli not even 5 million sold
he had that big a drop off in sales?
bu bu bu but they ain’t update. Well they did in 1999
jay z sold more faster than MJ of rap (added this just to piss y’all off)

AEOM was a double album. sales were x2. So technically, 10 million was really 5 million.
also the 1st rapper to have 3 number 1 albums in a row on billboard
did it years before camel. who seeing Pac 95-96
exactly took 15 years to sell 5 million
but it took the camel less than 2 years to sell 5 million
this notion that pac dominated 1996 is cap
no doubt he was the top guy but Nas was not to far off
and the fugees sold more
I don't doubt King Asiatic
Jay z got to see a black president and become the richest rapper ever
also the 1st rapper to have 3 number 1 album in a row on billboard

two things Pac was super wrong about
jay z broke
never got a chance to even fukk Jada because she thought he was gay
no rebuttal to my 3 number 1's?Jay z got to see a black president and become the richest rapper ever

Soundscan still counts double albums as one purchase and they still counted AOEM as the best selling rap album of 1996 before and after he died.
Also, the Fugees album was a hybrid much more geared towards a pop/R&B audience with 2 singles being full blown covers of an R&B and Reggae classic.
It's like claiming DMX and Jay didn't dominate hip hop in 1998 cause of The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill.

Remember the topic is comparing Pac to MJ and none of what you just said takes away from the fact that Pac did not dominate 96 while alive. He shared it with The Fugees ( LOL @ you attempting to flip their genre as a means of trying to take points away). You can't be MJ status and share the most successful year in your career with another entity with just as much spotlight that same year as well as big album sales.

Exactly what was “hate”? I talked more about Nas and Dilla than 2pac. I’m not as infatuated with these rappers as you guys are. 2pac was 6 years older than me.@Tommy Gibbs be in EVERY Pac thread and hates him
