It seems like alotta criticisms people give Pac stem from them not knowing all of what was goin on wit him behind the scenes. Someone always brings up a point which can easily be diffused with facts.
Or they can't understand how the brehs been dead for 20yrs and gets d-rode still, consistently. I love me some pac music, but brehs been dead for almost 20yrs

If he would have lived he would have destroyed the draw of bcc, busts and anyone who aligned with him cultural.
Splintering raps draws and culturally destroying the ability for key cultural respected to be believed.
You, guys were duped by this dude and duped by a number of artist marketed to you.
During and in the gateway marketing era of mainstream rap.

Let's compare facts
Creeping on ah come up went 2x platinum in December of 1995
E.1999 eternal went 4x platinum in July of 1996

Now 2pacs turn
2pacalypse went gold April of 1995
And strictly 4 my nikkaz was certified platinum in April of 1995 as well
December of 1995 me against the world was certified 2x platinum
April of 1996 all eyes on me was certified 5 x's platinum

So according to the stats tupac sold more records then bone thugs during there peak of success

Bone thugs had a good run from 94-97 before they fell off.


Your timeline is flawed and inaccurate as to the original release and sales envelope of bone and tupac in this era.
Which makes me wonder how cognitive were you of this when it actually happened.

Busta,...
Would have been done before getting running properly.
if pac would have lived.

Bcc would have been compromised in full.
Yet, in hindsight,..
Bcc was already dead from the conversion of the styles era to technical proficiency era and when the sonic landscape, changed in numerous sectors of rap.

From, mainstream to underground rap and eliminated all the emcees.
who really did not want to apply to the technical revolution and adapt.
Bcc would have just become Sean price as relevant anyway.
I also, think if pac lived and big lived
Krs would have eventually ended all of this anyway.
As krs had the next and first large drawing year.
After the glass ceiling of big/pac was shattered.
Before puff used emotional sentimentalism and krs's draw from rapture remix.
to segueway and falsely use krs to piggy back on to culturally and dupe krs.
Of, which krs apologized like anyone else should have for making sellout based feature records.
Where that sellout artist can now use your draw.
To dupe the buying public because of your negligience and carelessness.

im not a number-cruncher at all but :usure:

bone thugs was double plat when eazy was still alive, handing them their plaques on the box. 2pac was still a gold artist.

your numbers are off. i dont know where you got your info from.

lol @ '94-97. bone was huge thru 2000. ressurrection went plat in 2 weeks without media hype. and they got hits & plaques everytime they dropped an album with actual promotion afterwards, all the way thru 2008, and they could get a plaque today if they were on a major.

How are my numbers off ? My numbers are when the albums got certified . lol resurrection did go platinum but that's it no double platinum or nothing . Keep in mind everybody was going platinum even silkk the shocker and by 98 everybody was on that no limit/cashmoney dmx and jay z wave , bone was out of the picture by then.

you have to pay for certs.

plus the double-platinum ceremony for bone thugs was on camera & aired by the box with easy-e presenting them the plaques.:whistle:

ressurrection didn't go double because they immediately stopped promoting it after it went plat. and the promotion they gave it in the 1st place was nothing to write home about.

no the hell everybody was not going platinum. of course silkk the shocker was going platinum. he was one of the most popular rappers in the game. but he was a minority.

You are a fool if you think everybody wasn't going platinum in the late 90s
Compare platinum plaques til now and the 90s sales would blow it out the water,you had def jam,cash money,no limit,ruff Ryder's,aftermath,priority and they were all going platinum.

youre showing your age.

just because the 10 or 12 rappers that you were cognizant of back then were going platinum, it doesn't mean everybody was.

a lot of big names with big hits were cappin off at gold in the '90s and even during the boom period of the late '90s/early '00s.

a lot of that cash money/ruff ryders/priority stuff capped off at gold.
most no limit releases went gold - which is still a huge accomplishment seeing that most of that stuff wasn't really promoted - but still.
