Jay-z surpasses Tupac US sales.

Pac's been dead for 17 years and still Top 5. How can you "Album Sales-Oriented" dudes not respect that?

 

[smoking man]

pac was retarded....

Verifiable source should be easy to come by then...

or you on that @Nomad1 wave?

It's a well known fact that Pac is over 100 million albums sold, you just dont do your research.. Let me do you a favor and send you to the reliable sources that are proven. You'll just have to do yourself a favor buy looking them up.

So 1 fact you should know, if you're any real kind of hip hop head because most people know this. In 2004 2 Pac was in the Guinness Book Of World Records for selling 75 Million worldwide(not only that but he had sold over 44 million in the US at the time, so Jay-z still losing here), keep in mind that this is 2004.

So if his official numbers are 75 million then and you count double disk as 2(if you know the rule for double albums then you'd know why they'd be counted as 2), he'd be a 107. Even if you didn't want to count them as 2 Jay would still be losing in the US by 14 Million, and world wide by 25 Million...

If we are to believe @AlldayNE #'s he sold x10.5 as many albums when he died. Death didn't matter tho

AEOM was his 5th album. You aren't accounting the sales of his first 3 albums within the time frame they were released. Fact is 3 albums in dude couldn't go plat until the New York controversy, that's a fact.

Trolling at 8 AM?

 

[AlldayNE]

He didn't even sell 10 mill stateside, as for the other 25.7 you gonna need to holla @Nomad1 for his source

Biggies went from a dude going double plat in life to diamond in death that's a HUGE increase in sales....Seems like the exact same effect to me

Biggie's Life After Death went Diamond, that was the only album that truly did any number after he died. Born Again went 2x platinum, Duets went Platinum. Biggie's greatest hits didn't even go Gold in the US. Pac's Greatest Hit's went Diamond along with a lot of posthumously released albums that we're going multi platinum. If you want to call one album the same effect sure, but Biggie's death didn't keep people buying his albums after he died.

 

[god shamgod]

cot damn you are a horrible poster

GOAT is just a term for greatest of all time, it was just something I used in my post. People were saying Pac was the greatest when he was alive


I never heard anyone mention Rakim until I started looking at rap sites, and that shyt snow balled into putting him into top 10 lists despite no one actually ever listening to his shyt

of course you'd say that Just because I disagree with Your emotional ass

NOBODY was saying pac was the greatest ever when he was alive period.Foh that's some revisionist shyt if I ever heard it nikkas wasnt even obsessed with callin nikkas the goat back then.I know you're some young ass nikka making shyt up @ you even saying this.

Go back in your little time machine and ask any of his 5 million album buyers of AEOM if they were saying Pac was one of the best or not

Luckily I was born in the 70's so I know you're making all that up. Bare niqqaz I knew were calling Pac one of the best in flesh. It don't matter what wiggers in your trailer trash neighborhood in 96 thought

B stop taking those bath salts

Many credible sites have Pac numbers at 75 million i.e. Forbes. Imagine if Afeni's lazy ass would do the paper work for his album sales to give an updated sales figures.

imagine.......... AEOM @ 292292929X platinum M7DT @ diamond over 100 million sold

Why would I refute something I know isn't true? Cuz some scorned stan on the net said I'm a cac and grew up in a trailer park I'm supposed to refute it? Fukk outta here
