Biggest baddest boss
the same dying that stopped him from creating records,17 yrs ago?I know exactly what pac did I witnessed his career.2pacalypse was released in 91 and took 4 years to go GOLD.
Then he started getting arrested,shot,c00ning,going to jail,assaulting people etc then he started going plat.When he died he sold approximately 9-10 million records.After death like 70 million worldwide
He's a martyr who is the highest selling artist cuz of dying.Dying is the best promo jay outsold this ballerina without the controversy or dyingto jay

B in every Pac related thread you always mention that you "witness" all this Pac stuff like it's something special
His first album didn't sell much...you're right. His second album went gold....his third album plat....his fourth album plat...think logically and you can see that he was selling more and more as time passed.
Imma debunk your silly logic now and I better not see your retarded logic in another Pac thread
1. Name 1 album that he released when he was alive that dissed other rappers. MATW? Naw....his album concept was stolen by Biggie and still didn't diss him in the follow up album AEOM....
2. AEOM already sold more than two million after two months it was released...He released singles (California Love, I aint mad at cha, etc) to garther attention and hype....bare nikkas was hyped on the Death Row recruitment and if you think logically shamgod...that above all helped his sales than off mic beefs....Hit Em Up came months after and wasn't included in AEOM so he didn't need that song to help him as well
3. That ******ish behavior off the booth didn't help sell records....shooting two cops? Naw...."Beating up" the Hugh Bros?...Naw...Pushing a rapper off the stage with a bat?....Naw

2Pac never did worse that gold before AEOM, and in jail his album was 2x platinum. Since we talkin' about dead rappers, why don't we discuss Mac Dre, Biggie, Guru, and see how much their death has increased their sales?
It only matters if you die if you're already a legend. Yeah Basquiat's paintings sell more after his death, but he was already a legend selling paintings for $100K+ before he died. This Hawaiian shirt wearin' Maryland druglord who lost 92 packs and still lived to talk about it after dry snitching on wax has never been and never will be the icon of rap. It has nothing to do with the media, but with Pac's lyrics, his life, his attitude. Jay Z was talkin' all that sh*t on wax about 50, when 50 caught up with him in Detroit, the nikka was coppin' pleas. Please don't compare Pac to Jay, that sh*t is like comparin' Metallica to Bon Jovi, Miles Davis to Wyclef, Johnny Cash to Kenny Chesney. One is an icon, the other is a commercially viable artist

I say that because I'm not a revisionist.I know what happened unlike the majority of these other nikkas
As his album sales increased so did the controversy.He assaulted the hughes bros,shot at the off duty cops,raped that chick and got shot all in a 2 year span in 93-94.His best selling albums were when he was locked up in 95(matw),just released from jail in 96(all eyez on me) and after he died(7 day theory)
Smarten up.That wakk ass nikka knew what he was doing CONTROVERSY Sales

Biggie was the only rapper who was just as famous as pac.You're naming people like mac dre and big L Michael Jackson sold 100 million records after he died and he was 500x more famous than tupac ever was.Death is the best promo.Pac is the posterboy for dyin then getting gassed up in death

and laughs. peace fam
Can't wait for that Stagga Lee, Bubba Sparks and Paul Wall super group to drop an album.
Because Asher Roth and Vinnie Paz are selling similar numbers right?
Never been to a sporting event?

How has DMX albums done while he was in jail/post-jail?
You soundin' real stupid right about now. AEOM went plat 5x in 2 months., he died after it went 5x plat. Death had nothing to do with the majority of the sales of AEOM. If anybody is Mike Jack status, it's Pac, not Jay.

See...you didn't logically answer my points as I expected. But the only thing I could agree with you is those after death Pac fans
they make a bad name for Pac listeners since Digital underground like myself. I already answered the typical Pac hater response...so imma go catch my movie
oh and shamwow I just saw another Pac thread that you posted and you pretty much confirmed your a biggy fanboy so im not surprised your still heated towards the goat.....

Selling records while alive>>>>>>> having to die for sales to increase
These silly nikkas arre mentioning all eyez on me sales when it was counted for 2 DISCS.He sold 2.5 copies not 5 million
Jay outsold pac and didn't have to die and sell 60-70 million albums posthumously like pac did.
