Yo, when you think about it, that's crazy as fuck. He almost went double plat in one weeks time. Has anybody ever sold that much in that time frame?
Im not in NY anymore for long periods of time but find it hard to believe that the 'streets', whoever the street people are playing this.
Guess my defintion of the streets is different. Im alittle older so cats Im around when Im up top not rocking with Lil Wayne. They D Blocked out right now, mixtape types.
The streets usually not really buying music. Streets usually on the next next hot underground raw thing.
Buyers are teens, and white kids mostly. Cats my rock certain songs and alot of that is radio time......
Like I said Im glad for the brother just dont get the streets thing cause thats not what those numbers represent. That represents Suburban streets, MTV streets, top 40 radio channel streets. Which in no way do I downplay cause thats where its at.

he did 50s third and 4th album fucked his sale upI'm sure Nelly sold WAY more than 50 in his run.
The album was a mainstream success. It debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 and went on to peak at #1 by selling 235,000 copies on its number one week. The album is Nelly's best-selling album to date, selling over 8.4 million copies in the United States and is the 10th highest album of the decade. Billboard Magazine also rated the album # 10 on their Top 200 Albums Of The Decade[9] Nelly signed to Universal Records in 1999, he recorded his debut Country Grammar in 1999 and 2000. He then released the single "Country Grammar (Hot Shit)" at the start of 2000 and the success of the single (#7 on the Hot 100 and #1 Hot Rap Tracks) led to the album debuting at number three on the Billboard 200 in the U.S and later reaching the number 1 spot a few weeks later. On April 24, 2001, Nelly released the single "Ride wit Me", featuring his cousin and fellow St. Lunatic City Spud. The song peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became his highest charting single at that time. The album was certified 9Ă— platinum by the RIAA on April 27, 200Damn! Did he? I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised. That Country Grammer album was a Cac record execs wet dream come true.![]()

I'm sure Nelly sold WAY more than 50 in his run.
He has been referred to by Peter Shapiro as "one of the biggest stars of the new millennium",[3] and the RIAA ranks Nelly as one of the best-selling male artists in American music history,[4] with 21 million albums sold in the United States.On December 11, 2009, Billboard ranked Nelly the number three Top Artist of the Decade.![]()

The Top 10 Hip-Hop Albums of All Time (For Real)

Lil' interesting take on best rap albums of all times. I like to see this done yearly or every two years.
He also came out with Apple Bottoms.
baby money.
I don't usually come into these dump ass threads, but facts are facts: lil wayne, drake, nikki, rick ross & ye(no collabos) runs hip-hop, more so with wayne.
I'm in my 30's & YMCMB is all I hear these youngins playing. Wayne is far more relevant to the skinny jeans wearing generation, just like jay appeal to the jersey wearing gen. From Nyc to Philly to Charlotte.......this is the music my nieces and nephews are listening to (like it or not). Music is generational. His team are the reigning kings.
I don't get the hate?
Otis was the worst shit i've heard in a while and i'm an up-north cat.
Funk flex took bribes to play a lot of rocafella shit, everybody does it.
great article
funny how BIG outsold Pac in the end though...
if he nelly got baby money then camron got fetus money![]()
