Complex: the best rapper alive every year since 1979

[DMTxTHC]

pac's life didn't even go gold? where were all the makaveli nuthuggers when this took place?

Pac's Life is the seventh posthumously released studio album from the late American rapper 2Pac. The album was released on November 21, 2006, in the United States, on Amaru Entertainment commemorated the tenth anniversary of his murder. It achieved gold status, selling over 500,000 copies.

but only gold tho?

I'm pretty sure its plat by now its been out since 06.

They need to recount Pacs sales no way AEOM only sold 9mill I heard its 14mill since its a double disc that makes it 28mill

No, if it was certified at 9 mill in the first place that means it sold 4.5 mill.. so if it is at 14 mill, then AEOM sold 7 mill thus far..

I cosign that RIAA should look into AEOM's sales again, because it hasn't been certified for over a decade, lol..

I know this, but when it was certified at 9 mill in 1998, it meant that AEOM sold 4.5 mill, because double disc albums are counted as double.. same rules apply to Speakerboxx/Love Below, Life After Death etc...

That's why if AEOM was certified at 28 mill (hypothetically speaking), that would mean it sold 14 mill..

Lmao, on some real they screwed ja...Before 50 there was Ja, let's not act like that wasn't the case.

that doesn't mean he was the "best" rapper of any of those years. and truthfully with jay, nas, and DMX around when Ja was at his peak, he really wasn't the best.

But bruh it ain't about the quality of the pac cd's. He has the largest fanbase in hiphop hands down. They love that guy overseas, and he outchea doing j-kwon numbers.

 

[Cutler 26 INT's LOL!]

List is pretty on point but I woulda put Nelly in 2000 and Ja Rule in 2001.

Seems fair.. although Jay would be a better choice for 2001 imo..
