Not if Outkast is a group.

If Nelly number 6 all time, these numbers telling some helluva lies

[josea82]

[MrJR]

To all the people talking bout all these old rappers i got one question did you buy their last album???

 

[BobOblah]

Jay-z did not out sell em

VVV

feel free to correct me.

what I should've said was: feel free to correct me, but bring proof....

 

[Neva_Change]

Well, there's one thing that can't be denied - these cats know how to entertain. You can't sell all them millions of records if you don't have a knack for giving the fans what they wanna hear. Good to see Nelly in that Top 15 goat list, too. He's a legend now.

 

[deathrowzorrow]

Nas ain't even on the list Damnnnnnnnnnnn

 

[yeah i rap so don't]

Didn't Eminem pass Tupac in sales, and He passed Jay-Z a while ago...before "Recovery" came out I forgot how far he was off of Tupac but "Relapse" is still selling too

 

[yeah i rap so don't]

It does not include exact marks just what they got a plaque for I searched solo,albums,platinum (since it includes platinum and multi platinum) so Eminem sold more than Jay before "Relapse" was released I did not see it or "Recovery" listed but Em should be higher on that list it is commonly known yes

*those were group albums

 

[Yung Dicc]

Jay-z did not out sell em

Yeah. The list is prolly from 2005.
