cant argue with the score. 21 million sold with a boom bap sound. When you call an album a commercial success diamond albums only. jigga warriors can go fuck themselves jay z never sold more than 6 million. pac did that 4 times. eminem just sold 6 million 2 years ago while kanye and jay z barely can push 1 million together. fuck late registration and black album. eminem worst selling album outsells kanye and jay z best selling album

C/S Doggystyle. That was the first album to come to mind when I first saw this thread.

If your telling me The Blueprint does not balance being a commercial and critical success then you can go FUCK YOURSELF and quit hating

Miseduacation of Lauryn Hill- It's heralded as one of the best albums of all time and sold 8 million copies in the U.S.

Speakerboxxx/Love Below- It's a highly rated album that went diamond

Stankonia- highly rated and sold 4 million copies

Aquemini- highly rated and sold 3 million copies

Life After Death (sure some of it was trash, but any double album has some trash. And Hypnotize can't be denied.)

Ready to Die - 2 Top 10 singles (on the pop charts) & 4x plat

Pac - All Eyez On Me (Over 9x plat)

Jamaica

A lot of 90's albums balanced it out well. Now a days it's either one or the other.

But to answer the question dmx it's hard and hell is hot
