Now if we're talking about rapping, then no.

Yea let me find that short of the guy pointing out how there was never a year where Jay was actually THEE top rapper of that year.
He did not sell more than Jay z
Fjjfjfjffjf

He did as far as any single albums. But it goes to show that consistences triumph peaks.

But we gotta start giving our Black artists their due
Nelly was one of the biggest crossover successes in music in the early 2000's.
Nelly had a bigger commercial peak but Jay has had more longevity and has been pretty consistent with his album sales.
He sold around 3-4 million every album iirc.
Nelly's first album went Diamond and his second went 7x platinum. He fell off after Sweat/Suit.
Lonz is incorrect
So is sub-zero, and boomz tbh
But GODilyn makes complete sense
Thanks boo
@Marilyn don't know wtf they were talking about in here lol

:woohoo:
Jay-Z was just more consistent with his releases and maintained longevity.
But he didn't sell 3-4 million albums every album he was a steady seller though. Maybe with streaming now factored in he's do re-certification.

3,345,000, "Black Album"
3,093,000, "Vol. 3...Life and Times of S. Carter"
2,608,000, "The Blueprint"
2,521,000, "Dynasty Roc La Familia (2000 -)"
2,069,000, "The Blueprint 2: The Gift and the Curse"

1,510,000, "Kingdom Come"
1,412,000, "In My Lifetime, Vol. 1"
1,131,000, "American Gangster"
Even though Nelly fell out commercially, he still rounds out in the Top 5 Best Selling Rappers list.
Quote50 Cent is the sixth best-selling rap or hip-hop solo artist of the Nielsen SoundScan era. He has sold 16,704,000 albums. The top five are Eminem (45,160,000), 2Pac (29,235,000), Jay Z (29,179,000), Nelly (21,815,000) and DMX (17,124,000).

Yes consistency is most important but consistency wasn't Nelly's point

Damn. Fro was eviscerated in here
I don't think he meant lyrically, at least I hope he didn't :dead:
But he was really popular. Didn't his first album sell like 6 million copies? And they used to wear that country song he did owt over here.

10 million for his first, 7 million for his second, then 4 million for his third/fourth
Nelly didn't have the consistency that the other rappers he mentioned had over an extended period of time but he's was speaking about that specific time and how they all had to essentially compete with each other. He wasn't talking about talent/ability.
I mean... he's right. Commercially, Nelly was really big at one point.
Commercially he was right there with them with them hits. He had bigger singles than them too.

!!!!! I feel like American culture has amnesia. If you're still not big at this MOMENT, then you were NEVER shit.
