Pretty sure DMX sold more records than 50 too

Did over 12 million just off his first 3 albums which all came out within a year and a half of each other

4th and 5th both went platinum at least

Safe to say X sold at least 15 million in the US alone

The sales of the new album brings Jay-Z’s total album sales to 28,976,000, per Nielsen SoundScan. That puts him in third place among rappers, behind Eminem (42,307,000) and 2Pac (29,010,000). So in this coming week, he’ll surpass 2Pac, who was shot to death in September 1996.

Swift has sold 20,487,000 albums, which is more than any other artist who has come on the scene in the past 10 years. Her closest rivals are 50 Cent (16,535,000) and Michael Buble (16,137,000).

Definitely not all time. But, It could be true if we're talking the single best selling album by an NYC MC.
