Nas never had the mainstream appeal will smith has..

He’s barely had any top 10 songs

Most of wills numbers come from white people who enjoyed “gettin jiggly with it”

list still missing drake albums though

more life hasn't been certified by the RIAA

Change Albums to d**** and I’m interested

Oh okay I knew some of his s*** wasn’t counted . But DLDT has been certified by Riaa . Just giving you a heads up .

We only counting certifications too watch when Drizzy certs get updated and CLB go triple plat first month . Drizzy officially surpasses

Bone Thugs sold more than Snoop??
Beastie Boys are #6 ?
wow 😦

nas been overrated

worst beat picker in history except for it was written.

hot take: it was written > ill matic

This is based off certifications, and Drake's aren't updated. Kanye's albums were all updated this week lmao.

More Life - eligible for 3x Platinum, certified nothing.
Thank Me Later - eligible for 3x Platinum, certified 1x Platinum.
Dark Lane Demo Tapes - eligible for 1x Platinum, certified nothing.

Extra 6 million off those alone, putting him ahead of Kanye.

Y’all are miserable on this site

Technically I’m pretty sure this list isn’t album sales. It’s SPS. Huge, huge difference

Lol whats master p doing there

Expected to see Dr Dre on here, didn’t expect to see Nas.

Expected Biggie to be much higher on the list

hustling

Called him a dork then had to apologize

people forget how big Big Willie really was

Man had 1000 years named after him called the Willenium

cause im a nice guy

go make another 70 threads nerd

I dont know how things work in the us but I've never heard anyone say ''lets blast some will smith'' or ''have you heard that new will smith?'' ffs

like, not even one person and I dont hang around just rap fans only

plus, nas got more than a handful of songs that could've gotten radio plays in the 90s and with the ''revival'' of hip hop in the last decade he def gained more momentum as a household/respected name

I thought you were a nice guy

Because Will Smith had popularity and Nas had relevance (as rappers, obviously Will is still a relevant actor)

i know you put revival in quotation marks but that is not close to the applicable term.

commercial s*** often doesn't last, great music does. That's it.

I guess so, same goes for your avy and dudes like him
