Actually, 8 mile is credited to Various Artists, not Eminem, and Devil's Night & D12 World are credited to D12 not Eminem. So technically Eminem has 6 number 1 albums as lead artist, but 9 number 1 albums that he atleast had a heavy influence on.

[LilWayne4Life]

Ludacris has 4 or 5 #1 albums

[AJS2050]

This is true, but Jay-Z often proclaims how he has "11 number one albums" when two of those were not solo albums either. The joint album with R.Kelly, and the one with Linkin Park.

So depending on how you look at it, it is either:
Eminem's 6 to Jay-Z's 9
or
Eminem's 9 to Jay-Z's 11

I know Nas has been in the game way longer and his first album dropped in 1994, and Kanye's only had four albums and his first didn't drop until 2004; but it's weird to think that Nas has more #1 albums than Kanye West lol.

I get what you mean.

But, soon enough Kanye gonna go past Nas.

[youngfire420]

All of Kanye's are #1 right?

[Devil'sAdvocate]

the only reason jay-z has more number 1 albums is that jay-z has more albums...

I still can't believe SSLP was no.2 for a long time and didn't make it to 1!!
Honestly, SSLP is a contender for Eminem's best album ever

why u mad
