Its Pac, there's not even a debate about that. What I was surprised to see was that LL only at 12.5 million as long as he's been around and as many albums as hes released I thought he would be a lot higher.

yes, back then they weren't as famous as they are now

also note that this is last RIAA certification, 2 100 000 and 2 900 000 are both 2x platinum

most LL albums went platinum but very few more than once, that's why his total numbers aren't as high as one might expect

yea pac has sold almost 80 million internationally and domestic, but that doesn't mean someone can't think jay-z is better. quality doesn't rest on album sales. the only thing else i will say is: "Millennium" Backstreet Boys. is that one of the best albums of all time?
