Are we going to pretend whiteness is not a factor? Sales arent the ONLY factor. But lets keep it in perspective. Every act in the OP's list made street music. 3 blew,one didnt . All are afro american nikkas from the hood projects etc. ALSO,i never said sales = better i said that's what was popping out here and the sales are blatant evidence. Was em more popping in america AS A WHOLE than dre, yes,amongst black people,NAW.
Like i said:
in 1992 he dropped an album that has not went pass gold in 23 years.
Dre dropped the chronic which has sold 5.7 million i've heard
Cube dropped an album that went double plat
das efx went plat
sir mix alot went plat
too short went plat
KRISS KROSS WENT 4 X'S PLAT
ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT WENT 4 X'S PLAT
Many went gold and he's just another,NOT THE ROOF
When i point at his sells,it's not me saying he's wack cause he didnt have the sells. It's me saying he wasnt at the forefront,which he was not. The three others were hot on the streets and commercially hence he doesnt deserve to be compared.
