The fukk is your point? Both Pac and BIG didn't live to see a diamond album. None gives a fukk about a Big L type rapper
my point is pac's only diamond album was a compilation of his greatest hits

Tupac KONY and GOAT

Not a big fan of the album....but that isn't at all what I'm saying.
I don't care about what an album has sold/will sell/whatever....it has zero impact on how I enjoy the material.

being dope on the west coast is almost like a cheat code. You can sell so much if you do it right.

Dont mind me..Im a azzhole
Thats fine as a consumer, and im with you, yet when working in the industry you have a bottomline you have to adhere to, some gonna make the budget others wont.
Rap music wasnt as contrived and programmed like it was now back in the early 80s to mid 90s..
Ill be honest Pacs 1st album was kinda wack to me...along with a lot of other people...and my nicca used to dj and make beats for him...nicca 2nd album was half way decent and blew because of I get around which peaked femalez interest as a purchasing market.
So yes quality is a factor yet how popular the artist is a factor as well...

Pac is the GOAT but this thread is pointless. The numbers for biggie's two official albums are great and poinltess to diss

Lets talk about how to this day Ready to Die, Big's debut sold almost as much as 2Pacalypse Now, Strictly 4 My nikkaz, Thug Life and MATW combined.

Don't start with this diamond shyt
From another post on the subject:
LAD first week sales according to wiki: 690,000
7DT first week sales according to wiki: 663,000
If we are on our "lets be reality" shyt, pac actually sold damn near twice as many physical copies with his "last" album and went on to do an ORGANIC 6 mill which is more than the "diamond" album that actually went 5...this "pac wasn't selling..." shyt is beyond flimsy.
He barely even beat him with first week sales, and that "diamond" really translates to less albums sold than 7DT in total.
The fact that this "diamond" argument is being used so frequently in these beating the dead horse ass debates is hilarious and shows how far you have to reach to try to make a point.
