The Only Hip Hopp Diamond Albums

[Fa-Q]

Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em, Marshall Mathers LP, Eminem Show, Blueprint, Get Rich Or Die Tryin', Life After Death, The Love Below/Speakerboxxx, and All Eyes On Me

Are there any more than that...by the way Em has 2 and 2 of the 5 single albums

Get Rich Or Die Tryin' isn't Diamond.
The Blueprint isn't Diamond.

Get Rich Or Die Tryin' isn't Diamond.
The Blueprint isn't Diamond.

I think Get Rich Or Die Tryin' has sold 6 million copies (US)
and The Blueprint has sold significantly less than that, maybe 2-3 million? (US)

A diamond album in the US is 10 million.

Even if you sell 10 million worldwide , you can't call it a "diamond album" because it entirely depends on the specific countries.

For instance in Canada you only need to sell 800,000 and you've got a Diamond album
In France its 500,000

Even though I'm not American, when ever I think of a "diamond album" I always think of selling 10 million+ in America

Exactly.

I just don't think that the 'Fifty Cent album' is a diamond, I mean it's a really good one, just not THAT good. But congrats to Mr.Marshall Mathers.

How good an album is has nothing to do with it being Diamond
