Biggie's Life After Death, SpeakerBoxx/Love Below by Outkast, & MC Hammer's "Please Hammer, Don't Hurt Em". These are some of the top selling Hip Hop/Rap Albums of all time, followed shortly by Marshall Mathers LP by Eminem, with 9 million copies sold in the US, and Eminem Show, with 8.7 million copies sold.

No, I'm not 100% positive on this info, but the 1st 3 albums mentioned all went Diamond.

Edit: The MMLP & Eminem Show info is as of 2004.

Edit Again: 2pac's All Eyez On Me was certified Diamond in January.

I believe MMLP is not actually certified diamond. It has sold enough but it's Interscope's job to get them certified

Lets get serious, that logic is flawed, even for a genius.

"The Way I Am" is THAT good whether he's black or white. "Stan" is THAT influential and effective regardless of his skin colour.

So even though he says that himself, I don't think 'half' is proper. He wouldn't of blew up as fast maybe but he was still very original, daring, fresh and the MMLP is a masterpiece REGARDDDLESS.

The music still sounds the same and it was his MUSIC having that impact, his skin colour may of helped his sales but I think he would still be the biggest selling even if he was black. Just would of not sold as much as fast.

Yeah both MMLP & TES have enougth sales to be diamond, but its interscops job to pay for it. Most of interscopes artists are well under-certified.

Heres a break down of some of them:

Cause the shit I hear is crazy
But your either getting lazy or you don't believe in you no more
Seems like your own opinions, not one you can form
Cant make a decision you keep questioning yourself
Second guessing and its almost like your begging for my help
