Eminem #1

I think it's stupid that they always only mention US sales and not WW like seriously.

[Nick419]

I also think that its stupid that outcast only sold a little over 5 million but the sales are doubled because its two disks in one. Not that outcast isn't dope, its just that 11 million people do NOT own that album, its half of that

[Trimss]

MMLP is the most sold hip hop album ever.

Yeah, that's fuckin' stupid lol. If it was tallied normally then it would be towards the bottom of the list tbh.

[Flamez]

MMLP is the most sold hip hop album ever.

Fuck Yeah!

[JUMPDMC]

Where's the self proclaimed GOAT lil wayne?

[Fleka]

So this is where I could write "Em won" like those trolls do with other rappers.

[Kill You]

Where's the self proclaimed GOAT lil wayne?

Too real for this list.

[UofLCard]

Two albums in the top 4. Like a bawss.

[One Mic]

How far is Recovery from being 5x platinum? Last I heard it sold 4 million US, 10 million worldwide

will go 5x plat eventually though...might take years and years, but it will

[One Mic]

It won't sell 600k in the next 12 months

Might have a little boost around the time MMLP2 drops but that is it.
