Top 10 highest selling rap albums of all time (5-1)
It’s about that time to finish up the countdown on the Top selling Rap Albums of all times, some of you are bound to be surprised by the top 5 while many of you hit the nail right on the head. Remember the margins used were only US margins and not worldwide.

At number 5 we have the highly controversial and massively popular The Eminem Show.

Finally, at number 1 we have the September 23rd, 2003 double LP release of Outkast. Big Boi’s and Andre 3000’s “Speakerboxxx/ The Love Below” sold over 5.5 million copies, however, due to the fact that it was a double LP, the total sales came in at over 11 million copies and reached Diamond certification by going 11 times platinum.
To date, the album remains as the best selling hip hop album of all time and became the best selling album worldwide in 2003.

Notes
- An honorable mention goes to Nelly’s Country Grammer which went 8 times platinum in 2000.
- 50 Cent isn’t on this list because he’s only sold 6 Million copies of GRODT in the US..12 Million worldwide.
- The highest selling album of all times is speculated to be Michael Jackson’s Thriller, which has sold over 54 Million Records to date.
Reply to this Article
props to outkast. that album right there was the shit.
Outkast at number 1?? and with Speakerbox/The Love Below?? Damn, that album was aight but I thought maybe ATliens or Aquemini would have sold more…..and damn, Hammer was up there!! LOL, ohhh man I was 3-5……
The next list I would like to see is the top 10 lyrical songs.Now that would be a hard list to predict, no matter whose on it there is sure to be a heavy debate.
“Finally, at number 1 we have the September 23rd, 2003 double LP release of Outkast.

IT SAY’S “BEST SELLING ALBUM WORLDWIDE” TUPAC BEAT OUTKAST BY FAR WITH 28 MILLION. EVEN GET RICH OR DIE TRYING BEAT OUTKAST WITH 12 MILLION. OUTKAST IS IN NO WAY NUMBER ONE SELLING RAP ALBUM OF ALL TIME! DEFSOUNDS DO THE LIST OVER CAUSE SOMETHING AINT RIGHT AT ALL WITH THIS LIST.

I don’t know what else you want, son.
In this case that Nut is none other than the obviously attention seeking DR DRE… who of course is probably some 9 year old that didnt have school today or something. He’s probably (if it’s a he) getting a kick outta this shit right now.
But anyways… I knew HAMMER had to be up there…. shit…. he was killin’ em… ALONE. He had no competition whatsoever! But he went broke trying to help out too many people.
I didnt like Speakerboxx/Love below either… I like about 5 songs off of it… but it’s not us that counts… it’s the young prepsters that matter… that Hey Yaa shit did it for em.
Southernplayalisticcadillacmusic still gets a lot of airtime from me… shit right now as we speak! Hootie-Hooo!
~Be Eazy!
<—- Young Prepster.
7 mill U.S.
i think thats what this whole top 10 has been about.
lol yall going hard tho. do us really matter anyway. is pac gonna be less of what he is because hes not num1 in the defsounds top 10 highest selling albums. lol
Man I would LOVE to see that. but that debate would go on for dayz! It’s all a matter of opinion of how a rapper’s lyrics touched you personally / individually. Like 5 of those top 10 songs for me would definitely be from 2PAC. but I know for other’s there fav lyrical songs would come from Nas, Jay, or Biggie, even Public Enemy. But this would be GREAT. You guys should do it, then have like a vote to see what the members of the site think. just a thought.
ur always wrong. just throw ur keyboard away chump.
CALM YOUR PUSSY ASS DOWN. MAKAVELI DID SELL 28 MILLION WORLDWIDE, AND DEFSOUNDS DID SAY THE HIGHEST SELLING RAP ALBUM OF ALL TIME. BUT THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS BECAUSE THEY SAID OF ALL TIME! SO WHY ARE THEY JUST TALKING ABOUT WHAT THEY SOLD IN AMERICA? IT SHOULD BE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, THIS LIST MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE!
that shit is stupid america isnt the only place where u can buy cd’s…
We don’t have to agree with the list. Numbers don’t lie!
List of greatest singles. That will have at least 1000 comments.
im not the one typing in caps like a nerd.
and the part they mention worldwide is in a different paragraph..they didnt even so the amount in that….
It’s about that time to finish up the countdown on the Top selling Rap Albums of all times, some of you are bound to be surprised by the top 5 while many of you hit the nail right on the head. Remember the margins used were only US margins and not worldwide.
Don’t be so upset that your favorite artist is not listed. It’s ok. LOL!!
Then some of you wonder why he bans people. Fucking morons. Get the hell out of here you clown.
The article seems pretty solid to me.
“Top 10 highest selling rap albums of all time (5-1)”
OF ALL TIME! IF IT WAS JUST FOR AMERICA THEN YOU SHOULD JUST SAY
“TOP 10 HIGHEST SELLING RAP ALBUMS OF AMERICA” NOT “OF ALL TIME”
HOW IN THE HELL DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? WHAT PEOPLE IN EUROPE DON’T KNOW WHO TUPAC IS? IT CAN’T BE OF ALL TIME IF THERES A LIMIT! IT’S LIKE ME SAYING “I’M THE BEST BASKETTBALL PLAYER OF ALL TIME” THEN I ADD A LITTLE SIDE NOTE THAT SAYS “only rated in New Jersey” ADMIT THAT THIS IS SOME BULLSHIT JOKESTA!
to “Defsounds R”, ALLTIME does not necessarily mean ALLWORLD. it’s a matter of “time”. I can be the NCAA’S “alltime” leading scorer, but that doesn’t mean I’m the NBA’S alltime leading scorer. they specifically put US. it’s not that serious. Maybe they’ll do an all-world piece to satisfy everyone…
OK! BUT NOTICE HOW YOU SAID “I CAN BE IN THE NCAA’S ALL TIME LEADER” YOU SEE HOW YOU PUT THE ASSOCIATION IN THAT TITLE BY USING THE WORD “NCAA’S” YOU JUST NARROWED IT DOWN TO ONE GROUP. BUT THIS HEADLINE DIDN’T! IT SAID “OF ALL TIME” THAT’S MISLEADING, AND IT’S FALSE INFORMATION. DON’T PUT SOMETHING ON YOUR WEBSITE THAT’S FALSE BECAUSE THEN YOU WILL LOSE ALOT OF CREDITINTIALS! THAT’S ALL I’M SAYING!
oh and on a side note:
Was that Dr.Dre Dick sucker Banned?? haven’t seen his Gay Replies ina minute
Defsounds R- You’re retarded, first of, the word is spelled Credentials, secondly the word you’re looking for is credibility and lastly; your reaction was anticipated thus why I overstressed the fact that it was based on US margins. Now then, as far as this being false information, heres what you do, go find the RIAA’s Office Phone number, give them a call, request a list of the top 200 highest selling albums of all times, narrow it down to 10 from the rap/hip hop genre, come back to defsounds, compare the list, then proceed to shut the fuck up. And as always ahem if you don’t like it…leave.
1) ^^^^ Hilarious…
2) List I’d like 2 see: Top 10 (or 20) MOST UNDERRATED RAPPERS (MALE OR FEMALE).

2. Jada (NEVER sold what he should have sold)
3. Mos Def (All I gotta say is, remember him sittin’ in the whip wit’ Dave Chappelle?)
4. Black Thought (I feel bad that The Roots never really BLEW, BLEW)
5. Lil Kim (It’s A SHAME NOBODY really heard The Naked Truth… I give her TOO much credit… she ripped 90% of it on some ol’ unexpected ish)
***************************************************************************************************************

1. Lauryn (She’s in my Top 20 MCs period… maybe Top 10)

***************************************************************************************************************************
OH, and, ANOTHER list I’d like to see: 5 BEST YOUNG BOY ALBUMS EVER (YOUNGER THAN 20… no order)
1. Mobb Deep – The Infamous
2. A+ – The Latch Key Child
3. Shyheim’s joint (I heard it was vicious, but I never heard it)
4. Who else is worthy? That’s why I’d like to see a list, lol!
Jamal from illegal he was ill
and Illegal was also dope as a group.
Props for the Mos Def sittin in the whip that was an ill verse and the Black Thought.
the most underated rapper in my opinion though is
Beans (anything he drop is real check that Smack with him on H-rest)
DON’T ACT LIKE A FUCKING CUNT PUSSY! I DON’T GIVE A FUCK HOW I SPELLED WHAT! I CAN CALL YOU A FAGGOT AND SPELL IT FAGET. I CAN CALL YOU A BITCH AND SPELL IT BETCH! IT DON’T MATTER AS LONG AS YOU GET THE POINT. OK PUSSY, OR PUSSE, PUSSI, PUSSIE, OR HOWEVER YOUR FAGGOT ASS WANTS TO SPELL IT JOKESTA! AND I KNOW I MIGHT GET BANNED FROM THIS SITE SINCE IT’S RAN BY A BUNCH OF CUNTS WITH TAMPON ISSUES. SO I’M GOING TO MAKE THIS LAST STATEMENT. CHARISMATIC IS A PUSSY ASS NERD, AND SO IS NOTORIOUS. WELL FUCK YALL BEOCHES CAUSE I’M OUT!
oh, and 4) I’d like 2 see an official: DEFSOUNDS “BANNED” LIST… so i can laugh!
THE MOST PUSSIEST COMMENT MADE ON THIS SITE. AND YEAH THAT WAS A MADE UP WORD TOO! HA HA HA! I’M LAUGHING LIKE YALL FAGGOTS WHEN ITS MADE UP
You can’t forget the other dude from Illegal. I think his name was Malik. His solo ablum was not bad at all.
Most underrated MC’s to me is O.C. from DITC.
Most underrated group: Organized Confusion.
CHARISMATIC DOES NOT RESPOND TO DEFSOUNDS R,
but my 4) I’d like 2 see an official: DEFSOUNDS “BANNED” LIST… so i can laugh!
was NOT referring 2 him, you FUCKIN’ idiot… I was sayin’ I wanted 2 see the list of all people who have been banned from Defsounds, i.e. the original MileHigh… ARE YOU BANNED, YOU FUCKIN’ IDIOT? Then the shoe don’t fit, now do it? Who is this guy man? I am workin’ on tonin’ down my foul language; if anyone’s noticed, I’ve been saying “ish” and other non-profanitarial (ha, made up word) language but this guy, man… He’s a fuckin’ idiot.
Now, back 2 my regularly scheduled ban on Defsounds R. Thank you for both your time and your patience.
THEN BRING THEM PUSSIES ON, CAUSE THEY ABOUT TO GET FUCKED!
but um for not banning defsounds R
AND I DONT WANT YOU NIGGAS TALKING ABOUT UM RUNNING WITH DEFSOUNDS R BECAUSE I DONE HAD MY OWN PROBLEMS WIT HIM. BUT I KNOW WHAT HAPPEN WHEN NIGGAS LIED ON ME AND SAID I WAS DOING SOME SPAMMING SHIT.

AND DEFSOUDS MY FRIEND U DONT KNOW HIP HOP PIMPIN UM SRY TO TELL YOU THAT. BUT DONT BANNED DUDE DOE JOKESTA. DEFSOUNDS GO ON THE INTERNET AND STUDY THEN COME BACK AND TELL US WHAT U LEARNED.
KING
Normally, EVERYONE KNOWS that
CHARISMATIC DOES NOT RESPOND TO DEFSOUNDS R,
I think that’s like the 4th time I seen you put that shit up. So I must be striking a nerve with your overly sensitive ass cause it seems like you just go out your way to try to put me down. What the fuck is wrong with you? You sayin niggas is hating on you, but it seems to be other way around!

Hey MileHigh(1), who would you put in my lists? Scroll up… I’m curious..
Who would you put in YOUR TOP 5: MOST UNDERRATED ARTISTS; FEMALE MCS; YOUNG-BOY ALBUMS (any dude or chick who put out an album under the age of 20..) I put up my lists up above.
[by the way, do we include Bow Wow or Lil Romeo in the list, lol?]
I’m pretty sure Nas was 20 when he dropped Illmatic(94’). I’m pretty sure Snoop was also 20 whe he dropped Doggystyle (93’). I could be wrong IDK? O yea Pac dropped 2pacalypse Now when he was 19 I think.
1) Kim
2) Foxy
3) Eve
4) Lauren (she’s #4 b/c she only dropped 1 album, you can claim her to greatness off of 1 album even though it was a classic)
5) Queen Latifah
YOU MAKE ME PROUD KIDDO!
“This is highest first week selling album by rapper Master P to date. It is also his highest selling album going 3x Diamond. It topped at number-one on the charts selling nearly 260,0001 copies in its debuting week. The album went on to sell over 30,000,000 copies worldwide to 2007. It was extremely successful spending a total of 66 weeks on chart and then making a re-entry (with missing only one week) for another 13 weeks for an accumulated 80 weeks of constant selling.”

THE MOST UNDERRATED RAPPER OF ALL MUTHAFUCKIN TIME IS CANIBUS! SO FUCK THAT LIST! CANIBUS IS NUMBER 1-5 ON THE MOST UNDERRATED. HE’S WRITTEN RHYMES THAT NIGGAS 25 YEARS FROM NOW WON’T BE ABLE TO SPIT!
AND THATS THE BOTTOM LINE CAUSE DEFSOUNDS R SAID SO!!!
what the fuck is AND THATS THE BOTTOM LINE CAUSE DEFSOUNDS R SAID SO!!!
what the fuck yo lame ass man, this nigga said because defsounds r said so
FUCK THAT YO! LL COOL J AND EMINEM JUST WON BECAUSE OF THEIR FAME. BUT WHEN IT CAME DOWN TO ACTUAL LYRICS CANIBUS WAS UNSTOPPABLE!
what the fuck is AND THATS THE BOTTOM LINE CAUSE DEFSOUNDS R SAID SO!!!
what the fuck yo lame ass man, this nigga said because defsounds r said so
I DON’T NEED YOUR PUSSY ASS BITCH! YOUR LIST WAS WRONG SO I CORRECTED IT! THEM NIGGAS WAS HOT, BUT CANIBUS WOULD’VE NOT ONLY SLAUGHTERED THEM, BUT HE WOULD’VE SLAUGHTERED EMINEM AS WELL! THE ONLY REASON WHY HE GOT TREATED BADLY IS BECAUSE HE WAS A ROOKIE GOING AFTER A LEGEND, JUST LIKE JAY-Z NEVER WENT AT TUPAC. YOU NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER GO AFTER A LEGEND IF YOU’RE A ROOKIE. THAT’S THE FUCKIN RULE!
“No rapper could rap quite like I can
You know who the fuck I am, I’m the canibus man
I had to rock to a beat like this to show you
That I’m iller then the future, the present, and the old you
I told you, wish you could take it all back don’t you
Tried to smoke some canibus but canibus smoked you
Calling yourself the greatest is something you don’t do
Cause after I humiliate you what will the G.O.A.T. do
You can’t rap or act my main man
You goin’ end up as an intern working for Def Jam
See you was never bad enough to battle with Canibus
You out of luck, I crushed you the minute I got tatted up
And every lie you told just added up cause you wasn’t man enough
To be fair, but I’m mad a fuck and I’ve had enough
Jack the ripper or I’ma rip the jacker
Rape a rapper with a classic from his own masters
You’re dead”—-Rip The Jacker: Canibus
That shit was carzy!!!!
GET EM
DEFSOUNDS R LOL WHAT THAT R SUPPOSED STAND FOR, I HOPE ITS NOT WHAT IT HINK IT IS. I HOPE ITS NOT RULER. BECAUSE NOBODY ON DEFSOUNDS RESPECT YOU. GO AND STUDY SOME SHIT THEN COME BACK AND TALK TO ME. ALL THE NAME CALLING KILL IT
“No rapper could rap quite like I can

TELL MILEHIGH1 THAT SHIT AGAIN CAUSE I DON’T THINK HE UNDERSTANDS!
50 even went at dude head, he is a freestyle battle rapper and thats it
lol and what happen to him after he said lol. yo defsounds career is over, career over lol defsounds r for fucking wit the king was beheaded 3/21/07
KING
Go study what? I know more shit about hip hop then you think I do! I know for a fact that Canibus would’ve slaughtered eminem. Eminem was a white rapper who can spit! KEY WORD: White rapper who can spit. But what color is the majority of hip hop artist? Black! So of course Eminem is going to get noticed faster than Canibus. Eminem even admits in a rhyme!
“Cause I stand out like a green hat with a orange bill”
He stands out! Canibus is a nigga who can kill anyone but can’t get notice cause he looks like everyone else. Trust me if Eminem was black no one would’ve given a fuck about him!
50 even went at dude head, he is a freestyle battle rapper and thats it
NOW MILEHIGH1 YOU KNOW WHAT I WILL DO! CANIBUS GOT WAAAAAAAY MORE VERSES THAN JUST ONE! YOU DON’T WANNA GO THERE WITH ME!
“Don’t even talk about guns; the only “nine” you got
is a five dollar bill and four ones
So I don’t give a fuck what none of y’all niggaz say
Cause anything that can’t penetrate ricochets
Rhymin with me on a record? You might as well have died
and went to hell instead of heaven cause my rhyme weapon
is like a medieval torture method — your four limbs
tied to four horses all pulling in different directions
In this profession I get busy without a question
Seein me is like seein a vampire’s reflection"
HE SAID SEEIN ME IS LIKE SEEIN A VAMPIRES REFLECTION. YOU WANT ME TO BREAK IT DOWN! IN MOVIES EVERYTIME A VAMPIRE WALKS PAST A MIRROR YOU CAN’T SEE THEIR REFLECTION SO CANIBUS SAYS YOU CAN’T SEE HIM AT ALL! MILEHIGH1 I CAN DO THIS ALL DAY, BUT I WONT! I JUST GAVE YOU A TASTE OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN!
I KNOW FOR A FUCKING FACT IF EMINEM WAS BLACK HE WOULD’VE HAVE NOT HAD NONE OF THE RECOGNITION. OR SALES AND THAT’S A FUCKING FACT. CAN’T NO ONE ARGUE WITH THAT!
“If I was black I what have sold half/ and I didn’t have to go to Lincoln highschool to know that/”
So cut that shit out MILEHIGH1 it came out of his mouth! That’s a fact!
damn em sold 20 mil, half of dat is 10 ahahahaha
even if he was black he would have still blew tha charts up
i’m an outkast fan, but that double album was wack as shit to me. i just wasnt feelin it at all. but props to ’em though.
Without a doubt the boy can spit.
All I’m saying is the majority of people that purchase rap music is not black. Look it up.
Where you live and what you do on daily basis contrubutes to what you listen 2 and can relate 2. Think about ma niggas and wiggas and internet gang bangas and internet thugs and internet ol g’s and ya internet nerds.
I don’t recall anyone being critical about the South on this blog. Maybe you just wanted to get some shit off your chest.
As about the record sales, Micheal Jackson is dat nigga, or wigga, of what ever color he iz now. And Em i allready knew he was up there, I didn’t know he had two though that was a suprise. IDC if MJ come out with another album im coppin dat, dats WORD!lol skillz signing out
So we have, a combination of A DEFSOUNDS MIND MEETING; in NO ORDER – TOP YOUNGBOY ALUBMS (ARTISTS 20 & UNDER):
1. Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik – OUTKAST (94)
2. Illmatic – NAS (94)
3. The Latch Key Chile – A+ (96)
4. The Infamous – Mobb Deep (95)
5. Pac – 2pacalypse Now (9?)
6. Shyheim – The Lost Generation (soph. album in 96)
7. Illegal – The Untold Truth (93)
NOTICE THERE’S NO: LIL ROMEO, LIL BOW WOW, LIL WAYNE…
see a pattern? No Lil’s and ALL albums from the 90s!
but outkast first album is not better than 2pacalypse,
do u know what classics was on that pac cd if u dont know then um go tell you
1.trapped
2. brenda’s got a baby
3. if my homies call
4. i dont give a fuck
5. crooked ass nigga
Pac first cd is so underrated because he went gold look at all them classic ass songs. the only cd we all have name that i might say is better is illmatic
that shit is LAUGHABLE
This is how He raps:
“I wake up and cook up the rock (yeah)
cause i gotta give dope to the block (dayum)
I’m real dog these other niggas is rappers (yeeeeeeeah)
My life is real I am a trapper (That’s rrrrrrrrrright)”
He says bullshit lines like this and yall slow ass southern niggas jump all over that shit like that was the hottest thing yall heard. Man Fuck Young Jeezy, Young dro, Young Joc, Young dickhead, and all them other Youngs, and Lil’s yall got down there. Come up with something more creative down there cause yall niggas is ass!
i TOTALLY AGREE WIT DAT BESIDES THE FUCK SOUTH AND THEY KINDA RUINED HIP HOP
p.s. that thriller album is crack 2 lmao!
Lil Wayne first came into the game around 1999 with the block is hot. He was spitting some bullshit rhymes with annoying flow, and a New Orleans swagger.
He Had a song called
“Loud Pipes” where he says:
“Now im shinin baby glossin
Big tymin stuntin and flossin
Lamborghini sittin on broaders
With two more in my garages
Plus a blue and black ferrari
With nintendo and atari”
Now That was wack as hell!
On The Light’s out album he was still wack with lines like:
I tell ‘em no lie
I blow by wit the Bentleys wit the O eyes
I low-ride, cuz these 20 inch rims just make it so hot
You know I, been had Twinkie, look at the pinky
And the link be all the way down to the nuts, diamonds twinklin’
That was trash too!
On 500 degreez he was still trash with lines like:
It’s Lil Weezy for real
Only Cash Money Hot Boy that stood still
I got a good deal
I’m from a trill hood
I smoke real good
BUT HERES WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING! SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY ON THE NEXT ALBUM THA CARTER HIS FLOW, DELIVERY, AND SWAGGER JUST CHANGED. READ THIS:
This is the Carter y’all welcome, hard as Malcolm
Dawg is a vulcan Lord help him but y’all felt him
That make you a part of me and pardony
If a part of me is what you wanna be what you oughtta be
Dont worry Carter me I just actin accordingly
I give orders to the commander in chief, just the commander in me
Handlin streets in the mandarin V
I hear you haters slanderin me I just hand him the P
NOW WHAT I WANNA KNOW IS HOW HE GOT THAT GOOD OVERNIGHT? AND HOW COME HE GOT THAT PHILLY BASED SWAGGER SUDDENLY? MAYBE GILLIE DID HELP WAYNE OUT?
I KNOW THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TOPIC BUT I THINK WAYNE IS TRASH, HE’S NOT A REAL M.C. CAUSE HE JUST TOOK PEOPLE STYLES! AND HE APPARENTLY DOESN’T WRITE HIS OWN SHIT. SO FUCK THE SOUTH! THEY NEED UP NORTH! WE DON’T NEED THEM.
MJ went 54 times plat??? omg that niggas the man

YOUNG JEEZY: “Class in session when I talk, now listen
But you know how it goes, real niggas pay attention
Ain’t talkin money, we speakin a different language
The hating niggas gon’ need a translator
Lets GO!
They move too slow, when I think too quick
That’s why I flash like Gordon, vrrreeeeooommmm
I’m light years ahead of you niggas
That’s why I forgot more than you’ve ever learned
It’s my spot now nigga, you better wait your turn”
NAS: "Rats get their tails snapped and trapped
The snitches in the streets and the snitches who rap
Pure euphoria, a dose of death to all of ya
Coroner choruses sung from The Bridge to Astoria
Dreams of fallin’ in the elevator, passin’ floors
Suddenly stop, the doors open up to a brick wall
I can smell the haters, wishful thinkers, bad luck prayers
Picture your tarot cards and bodyguards gettin’ sprayed up
Sabotagin’ my makeup, my watches get laced up
Even if they indicted Jacob
Forensics, Paramedics carry cowards off
Defibrillators shock to your chest, try to cough
DO YALL THINK THE SOUTH WOULD REALLY HAVE A CHANCE IF THE NORTH BEEFED WITH THEM?
LIL BOOSIE: "I’m Boosie, Bad Azz and I zoom right by ya
seven – sixty partna – crispy creme on the tires
smoke that fire purple kush by the pound
ask my dogg Webbie this is how it goes down
from my hood, to yo hood mayne we makin money
in the club we poppin bottles, the room we hittin models
rollin through the bottom all the kids hollerin “Boosie”
this life a nigga livin like I’m starrin in a movie
fresh out the jacuzzi, alittle powder on my chest
got thirty on my neck – Turk and Mel just cut the check
PAPOOSE: "
Motherfucker I’m a monster
You wanna move a lot of work in ya hood I’ll be your sponsor
Take half or all o’ ya bread like we was partnas
Collect my money in envelopes, like I’m a mobsta
Walk through this concrete jungle like I was Kontra
Like dreadlocks I’m at the top of the roster (rasta)
Hit ‘em up and give ’em a seizure (cesar) like I’m a barber
Come through and put in that work with the revolver
You wont, I would (wood) like tiger but aint a golfer
I dont gotta hear your album cause I’m the author
Wrote the period, the question mark, and the comma
Wrote the first, second, and the third part of the saga
Yeah I hear ’em say they go hard, but I go harder
Yesterday, the day before, today and tomorrow
I blood sweat and tears, shit piss and saliva"
DO YALL REALLY THINK IF THE SOUTH WENT AGAINST THE NORTH THEY WOULD HAVE A CHANCE?
I don’t give a shit how much money yall making right now cause that don’t really matter. It’s all about the music. When these wack fucking south rappers disappear people aint gonna look back at their music and say “Damn they were spittin” they gonna look back at their music and realize they was always garbage. Look at Vanilla Ice, he was once at the top of his game too making a shitload of money, but look at him now! He’s the biggest clown in the music industry. That’s all south rappers are, just a bunch of gold, platinum mouth clowns. All that gold in their mouth and they don’t even say anything worth listening too!
yall just have ludacris, and hes originally from illinois(okay, so hes from the north)
I’m just gonna say this and end mine though, the South didn’t kill hip hop, if you come down here you’’ll see that hip hop is very alive to us, it’s kind of like we’re in our own world, nobody cares what the east coast thinks of it, I didn’t even realize how much yall despised us until I got on this site. It kind of sounds like jealousy to me because the only hip hop that apppears to be dead is east coast hip hop. Why aren’t yall artists shining if yall are so much better, we must be doing something right and we didn’t change our style, our music has been this way since the mid 80’s. Yall just never noticed it because yall were getting all of the shine.
Im gonna finish up by saying forget hip hop is dead “East Coast Hip Hop is Dead”, that should have been the title of Nas’ album. He was saying that he was trying to send a message telling everyone to step up, how can we step up, we’re on top of our game, NY should step up, that message should be directed specifically at them. Be Easy
“8 Ball & MJG”
South niggas….stand up
Weak niggas….man up
f—- yall niggas that don’t
show us….no love
But if you wanna go that route, then Papoose is an African rapper, He was born in West Africa. If you give up Pap I’ll give you Luda….That’s exactly what I thought you would say.
“hey chris, where you from?”
“im from georgia”….nope, he woulda said illinois……..
but yeah, i know papoose is african..
Have you heard tha one on Lil Weezy Ana when he starts rapping in french, that caught me way off guard, now thats creativity.
aand if yall haters wanna hear, goto: www.youngmoneyent.com
anyways…im out….got shit to do.

he doesnt even know about bars and thats just the basics of rappin.
does he even count as a hip hop artist.
honestly, i aint tryna dis the guy, but i think he’s more of a popstar.
i think he got counted because he was the only one that could do that dance.
that still shouldn’t count. i guess he had the look.
the “funky” clothes. the “stupid”-(stupid meaning hot) haircut.
Starting at the top of the list
1.) You guys can sit here for the rest of your lifes and nobody is ever going to get the correct order on that shit, ya whats his face up there said he had the list from riaa that was aprently right but if you actually look at that site its just as bogus as this list… Micheal Jackson’s thriller album did in fact sell 58million cd’s world wide now on the site his over all sales is at 65million or close to that, other then thriller he has released 6 other actual “albums” if you do the math that would have to mean that those 6 cd’s could not of sold more then 1.2 million each… so sorry to say but your list is just as fucked up.
a comment came from wiz something or other he said that the main reason that outkast was on this list was because of prepsters or w.e dumb shit he came up… you can go ahead and think that all you want but there is no denying good music that appeals to more people will sell more cd’s, i wont lie im not a whiz on Outkast but the way i see it atleast with this cd is Andre 3000 plays the role of the more mainstreem “prepsters” and big boi appeals more to the hardcore hip hop/rap fans. Personally i think people can take this cd 2 diffrent ways they can hate it and say that they made it to boost there numbers with a double lp and to many mainstream songs. OR your like me and think they did a hell of a job not only with the songs themselves but with the marketing and salesmenship of the group… Sell outs? no 2 dudes trying to make there money for good work, ya.
PS. its spelled top but i understand that your not really familiar with that word
Next, Mr. President and everybody’s favorite little bastard defsounds R (the hole next comment is all dedicated to this fucking lil bitch) had a nice little conversation for a couple of days talking about how the south apparently killed hip hop ~Chris Rock voice WHAT THE FUCK? Are you fucking kidding me the south did not kill hip hop they re invented it and then killed and smothered east coast hip hop… Def gave off a pretty hefty list of southern rappers and then continued to rag on them… give me a list of all your east coast rappers off the top your head and if you cant come up with more then you did for the south you need to choke on da presidents cock… i am not raging on the east coast rappers, well i did a little bit, don’t get me wrong i got mad love for snoop and dr. and what not but come on east coast hip hop fell of the map in the early to mid 90’s it out played itself and people turned to look for something new, the southern rappers of today are some of the most decorated rappers of ALL TIME AND YES I DO MEAN IN THE WORLD, every single one of them has a very distinct flow, southern rap is not just gangster hardcore they went beyond that into more hyphy up tempo music where as east coast lacked in a variety of of hip hop/rap. Now to the part where that silly mother fucker started putting in his little online rap battles are you kidding me the first one you put in was jeezy vs. NAS first wheres nas career now he was on the verge of being dropped from his label with def jam, the fucking guy was in a chick called Uptown Girls come east coast wheres the G in you? next you did Boosie against Papoose, papoose is a amazing rapper no doubt but still that hole verse was in response to boosie it was not a battle at all so you didn’t prove shit there either.
quick summary Def R is still a little bitch and cant prove shit….
1 eminem mashal mathers lp
2 biggie life after death
3 2pac all eyes on me
4 mc hammer whatever that album was called
5 oukast speakerboxx love below
thats five albums so something here isnt right.
The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory by Tupac (Makaveli) is by far the best selling rap album of all time coming in at 28 million copies world wide. This list is in order of RIAA certification. Dark Side Of the Moon was certified gold (before introduction of platinum, but still wasn’t platinum until well after the certification was created) by these idiots from the introduction of platinum (74’) till 90’ before they made it 11x then 15×.
Even beyond that 7 Day theory was finished in 7 days. All these other albums took months.
FUGEES THE SCORE ALSO SOLD MORE THAN ANY RAP ALBUM IN HISTORY ..
