Which Of These Charting Album Do You Think Is The Best?
Shady the only rapper still going legit 2x Plat without some samsung shit.
units sold dont hate
Not fair how they certified Yezzus platinum when it sold less than Bord Sinner.
White artists #1 & #2 on the hip hop list
and? its about skills and beats thats all hiphop is about
Oh I get it Beyonce is white now LOL… cmon son
beyonce looks nothing like a flat ass pale face white women stop it
oh like honey boo boo mother aahah you crazy its plenty of fat sloppy white baby machines and most are on tv hahaha
Yes, Beyonce has successfully made the switch to white.
Since when Beyonce is hip-hop artist?
How the hell did Kid Stink sell French Montana numbers? He’s as lame and generic as they come.
French flopped hard. thats how.
” He’s as lame and generic as they come.”
And French Montana isn’t? LOL okay……
Hey fag guy, French sold over 100K and he cant even rap, his album sold in the Top 20 fag guy go do the research, rappers dont make money of their albums they make money doing shows.
selling over 100k doesnt make him any less of lame and generic corny ass rapper.
“his album sold in the Top 20 fag guy go do the research,”
only because of Drake, Wayne, Ross etc… the We are the world of rap
June 22?? LOL!
Why dafuk Kanye is Platinum if he sold only 636k. Can someone explain it 2 me?
sure its called units shipped not sold take for instance rick ross last album it was certified gold but only because of units shipped it didnt actually move 500k.The reason that ross keeps pushing his albums back is because this is his last chance he lost a lot of fans as far as moving units.
I understand the whole shipped vs sold thing but its not right to certify kanye plat when theres 365 000 copies of Yeezus collecting dust on the shelves moving 2k a week its gonna take 3.5 years for him to actually sell a milli.
Cole’s album sold like 30k more but will probably never be platinum.
yeah your correct but what people dont understand they get these numbers from albums ORDERED by retail not by people actually buying the album.
so when they say a artist went platinum in a week or whatever its retail orders ah ok.
not always. sometimes artists have been known to actually sell over a million first week but not too many these days.
^^^ true but major labels inflate that number
Thats fucking crazy though that Kanye is like 3-4 years away from actually selling a million copies if it even happens at all
Where’s Justin Timberlake?
this is HIPHOPdx.com smh
timberlake was covered on these charts extensively when he first released the albums…
Eminiem gonna be 6@ years old and still going double Platinum. Go checkout thegrandreport, they have some good hip hop and viral videos on there too
no they dont. no one is going to your shitty ass website so give it up
LOL AINT NO ONE CHECKING FOR GRAND REPORT LMAOOOO
http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/uuuYh1qsRF4/default.jpg
Probably Kanye lowest selling album, hope he learned quality is what matters, Late Reg, College Drop, MBDTF, Graduation are quality, Yeezus is weak
definitely his lowest selling album. wont even sell a million in the USA unless he dies
I dont give a fuck if that nigga got a foot in the grave. I’m still not buying that shit.
This nicca Kendrick don’t leave the charts lol I’m tired of seeing his wack ass name on this list every week
you’re a true hater
let down by mmlp2 sales wise shit isnt gonna even go 3x plat.
He got 1x plat when people are barely going gold and he’s not that far from 2x what else do you want?
what rapper is going 3x plat in 2014?
he’ll be 3xplat by the end of the year
Remember when you all said this was going to beat recovery in sales?
It’s been 4 years since Recovery. Let’s see what MMLP2 sells in 4 years.

TECH N9NE – Something Else : 129,000
150k people bought French Montana’s album….. facepalm.
150k people take too much xanax and listen to rap…these numbers arent official a bunch of these are the sales when they dropped off the 200 list
man tech n9ne gotta be more than 129,000, that was a very great album
a few of those havent been updated including tech
HAHAHAHA, ALL YOU HATERZ, DA WHITEBOY STILL RUNNING CIRCLES AROUND THE RAP GAME .. SHADY THE BEST AND THERE IS NOTHING ANY CRITICS CAN SAY, NUMBERS DON’T LIE LET ALONE HIS SKILLS BEHIND THE MIC, SHADY AND KENDRICK RUNNING THE GAME PERIOD, SHADY/AFTERMATH/TDE/INTERSCOPE !
These numbers are wrong, I’m not a kanye fan but the album has gone platinum last week.
shipped platinum not sold. Theres still 364 000 Yeezus albums in stores that no one has bought so these numbers are correct.
It will take him over 3.5 years to sell a million if he sells 2k every week like he did last week, which isn’t likely.
1000000(True Platinum)-6360000(Copies Sold)= 346000
346000(emaining to have plainum sales)/2000 (assumption of selling this amount of copies per week)=182
182(# of times 2000 copies of Yeezus will have to be sold)/12(months in a year) = 15.167
So it would acually take 15+ years at a rate of 2000 a week,
Who cares? Next week a single could be remixed and blow up and another 100,000 albums might sell. The should base it on sales not shipment.
except for a couple albums, i’m just cringing looking at that list.
Doesn’t matter how much eminem sells,he’s still shit and can’t rap. He’s just like vanilla ice.You telling me someone with a brain actually bought an album with a hook that goes, do doing doing doing??? Eminem could make a whole album with him farting on the mic and it will sell platinum. Haha you dumb fucks! This fucker is a straight con artist. my salsa my salsa lmao. He’ll never be drake!!
You’re right Eminem will never be a Canadian mulatto jewish former child actor from the burbs of toronto! LOL
Kid said Eminem can’t rap LOL. All the greatest MC’s in hip-hop would strongly disagree with that ridiculous statement and tell you Marshall can rap his ass off and is one of the GOATS!
The Marshall Mathers LP alone stomps anything Drake has ever made.
are you seriously that retarded…the comparison of drake to eminem proves it
“Most number ones how long did it even take me” Everyone who bought eminems album already threw it in the trash,even eminem said he threw his own album in the trash. Lmao bagpipes from baghdad! Who the fuck listens to that shit? Retarded illiterate white boys! He ain’t never ever gonna be drake.
Who’s bumpin Marvin’s Room or How 2 Love?

Haha,haha the critics believe shady’s work is more closer to rickys standards! Vanilla ice!
Get some new trolling material, don. You’re just pissed that Drake will never be Eminem.
1 really great album (kendricks) 1 really good album (Eminem) the rest are average to shit to not hip hop (beyonce drake)
Stop slurping that nerd’s dick.
What nerd? And nobody was slurping anyone’s dick.
Quoteman was calling Kendrick a nerd and apparently any praise given to him is the equivalent to “slurping his dick”, which quoteman seems to know all about…. I never heard of slurping dick bruh
Quotie’s just mad because Willie Roberts, and Mixtape Music Group can’t get a plat
yea its the sicker and the sicker, got demon mask on now. about to put 666 around the fucking. yea im crazy at em.start looking around with devil mask
666 at em
“You’re right Eminem will never be a Canadian mulatto jewish former child actor from the burbs of toronto! LOL”
He was just poor white trash.
And most rappers are poor black trash so whats your point exactly??
LMAO at this nicca str8 beastin on OP
“yeah your correct but what people dont understand they get these numbers from albums ORDERED by retail not by people actually buying the album”
The very headline says HIP HOP ALBUM SALES. Albums getting certified platinum or gold when their sales don’t match is pretty common, but all that means in the artist still had to sell close enough in the range to justify the bump up. It’s not like most people know or care anyway.
636k is not close to 1 million when selling 2k a week
Man the Aloe Black album probably the best album on that list. Or second to Em’s.
real niggas mayne. Niggas cant fuck with me

Eminem you’re a joke! You’ll never be drake,for your own sake stop rapping you vanilla ice wannabe. Your music is rubbbish,your fans are slow and stupid and you are like 20yrs late with that rapping fast bullshit! Lmao,beefing with mariah,cristina aguilera fuck outta here. My salsa makes all the pretty girls dance. Lmao drake would never put out such 3rd grade bullshit. Hahahaha,eminem stans wanna cry! You ain’t never,ever,ever gonna be drake!
“Eminem you’re a joke! You’ll never be drake”
Thank god for that. Can you imagine Marshall singing bitchmade songs like Marvins Room?
Eminem corny!!! Deal with it! He even acknowledged throwing his own album in the trash! The one that you stans jerk off to!
im not an eminem stan and i dont own any of his albums but he can rap circles around lil aubreys bitch ass
Then why did eminem back out of a rap battle between him and drake?
That never happened.
don is obviously a retarded troll/Drake stan. It’s a well-known fact that Eminem is better than Drake. Many hip-hop artists and legends know that Eminem is one of the best.
“Lmao drake would never put out such 3rd grade bullshit.”
You’re right. Drake puts out kindergarten bullshit like “Started from the bottom, now we here” and “Muhfuckas never loved us” or “They know, they now, they now.”
“636k is not close to 1 million when selling 2k a week”
Nobody on this planet thought GFID would sell a million.
we’re talking about Yeezus.
“Nobody on this planet thought GFID would sell a million.”
and it didnt and never will!
LMAO these niggas str8 beastin on OP
One of the most widely known magazine publications called Kendrick a nerd. He’s softer than your grandmother, so just embrace it.
GQ, a magazine for metrosexuals. LOL thats the gospel
they also called him Man of the year
No magazine publication called Kendrick a nerd at all. Unless you got an actual quote where they actually said that, that’s bullshit you made up. And, no. Kendrick’s not softer than someone’s grandmother, your boy Drake is softer than a grandmother.
i think they called him a rap nerd
lol at this nigga taking a magazine’s words to heart..
LOL at R. Kelly strugglin

Haha,haha the critics believe shady’s work is more closer to rickys standards! Vanilla ice! Drake is a city,eminem is a trailer park! Deal with it stans!
Copying-pasting old bullshit comments, huh? Nobody believes your lies. Drake ain’t shit compared to Eminem. Eminem’s a legend and many hip-hop artists would agree.
“Drake is a city,eminem is a trailer park!”
You got that backwards. Eminem sold more records and is worth more money than Drake.
Eminem is shit and even he knows it. Why do you think he tried to commit suicide? cause his music is shit! He said he wanted to go at yeezy and weezy but knew he would have been murdered on wax! These are facts bitch,stuff that this vanilla ice wannabe said himself! He aint never gonna be kanye,wayne or drake! Deal with it! You say he’s better when he clearly states in his horrible,atrocious,pathetic songs that he isn’t!
Nothing you say is fact at all, don. It’s all hate filled lies and bullshit.
I’m convinced that don is the same miserable troll behind dentaldamboy, YESSIR, So Icy Boi, youngsta, Champagne Papi, drake runs rap, etc. There’s no other logical explanation.
I’m pretty sure that a guy who has a song called Rap God thinks he’s the best. Hell, many hip-hop artists think the same way.
Hard out here for street artists, salute to Gotti tho.
Mostly white boys, and hipsters moving units in this phase of the game, the Kendrick nerd is the new hipster darling they jumped ship on Kanye and got em a new nigga.
Im somewhat proud of 2-Chainz he struck while he was hot, did a quick smash & grab and rode the wave but Its a new day of Gay/Ofay/Hipay
You really are retarded, BruthaDee.
Oh look, a g unit groupie.
No one even brought up G Unit and they have nothing to do with this.
Imagine how bummed BruthaDee is gonna be on life when he finds out Ricky Rozay is fucking with Mac Miller.
“Mac Miller @MacMiller
Just got good news from @rickyrozay”
Shut up fiddy groupie. You started the feud because you were mad ross is about to release another album while fiddy can’t get his out.
No one said shit about 50 or G-Unit, or Ross for that matter.
You brought up bruthadee so you brought up mmg which means you brought up fiddy. Don’t be mad just because 50 can’t get his album out. He’s fallen the fuck off and Ross kills 50.
Im not the one who brought up “bruthadee”
“You brought up bruthadee so you brought up mmg which means you brought up fiddy. Don’t be mad just because 50 can’t get his album out. He’s fallen the fuck off and Ross kills 50.”
This comment makes no sense at all. How does bringing up BruthaDee mean bringing up MMG and how does that bring up 50? You idiotic kids makes no sense at all. And your last two sentences are lies.
“and it didnt and never will!”
lol You sound angry. Seriously, ask your pastor for a hug.
Nope. That’s you.
“No magazine publication called Kendrick a nerd at all. Unless you got an actual quote where they actually said that”
The albumabout a day in the life of nerdy K.Dot and his homeys as they run around in his mom’s minivan
You calling someone nerdy? loL, you’re the epitome of what we call being PUSSY.
BITCH
You made that shit up.
Are you brain dead? That was GQ’s description of Kenwack’s debut. The album is basically his life, and the writer was so impressed he called him a nerd lol Imagine if that had happened to 50 Cent or Jay Z.
Well, GQ got that description all wrong.
That same publication called him Man of the Year. You’re taking that shit too seriously.
Negro Nerds are the new hype.
What the fuck are you talking about?
People got tired of Studio Gangsters and fake dope boys.
I’m a hoe ass nigga with terrible music taste and I hate on Eminem every chance I have.
“That same publication called him Man of the Year”
And this year they’ll call somebody else the same thing.
And nobody in the hip-hop community will care just like they don’t care now.
yeah thats how magazines work.
Then don’t invest so much emotion in an honor that GQ hands out every year.
you’re the only one bringing that shit up constantly quoting them LOL
You’re the only one investing emotion to it, Quoteman.
Whoever thought Kevin Hart would have a movie out on Valentine’s day. lol
Once again half a man, you display insecure rage. I bet you have that GQ cover framed above your bed lol Got your Kendrick night light yet?
Nope. You’re the only one displaying insecure rage, attacking another man every chance you got.
Quoteman got ethered so hard like 2 weeks ago and just never responded back LOLOLOL
Ethered by who or what, half a man? lol You can’t ether perfection, plus if I keep coming back, how the fuck does that translate in your little brain as a victory?
you dont respond when someone proves you wrong and makes you look like a tard, its happened a lot, like 3 weeks ago on the hi-hop album sales article about drake being lazy
“You can’t ether perfection”
What perfection? All I see is a miserable troll without a life.
I have a life. If someone wants to disagree and get emotional about it, that’s their cry fest, but thanks for anticipating my return.
Nobody believes your lies, quote-girl.
