you could also include outkast in the 2000s, i know they came out in the 90's but they were selling the most records in their career during the early 2000s

The 90 was the Golden Era but the 2000s was the Platinum Era. Really 98-2005 was peak for overall quality top projects. I'll also add the fact that Hip Hop wasn't the dominant genre back then that it is now. So the rappers not only had to compete amongst themselves, they had to compete with 2000s Pop and Rock/Metal

Forgetting about OutKast is wild. Stankonia and isn’t Speakerboxxx/LoveBelow one of the best selling hip hop albums ever? Doesn’t Eminem have multiple of the top ten best selling rap albums of all time? It’s A closed case

To be clear, What Nelly meant was that the competition of rap during that era was “hard”. Not necessarily the music or rapper themselves even though it’s true in a sense. But Nelly was saying that there were so many talented juggernaut rappers who were able to sell multiplatinum records.

Exactly. People to this day still play Holla Holla and Always on Time in clubs and on radio. No one is playing 2chainz like that.

Man Rod is on some shit.. the numbers these artists in 2000 decade was crazy. Only person to have numbers close to them in 2010 was Eminem again.. recovery, mmlp 2, and kamikaze sold heaps. And Drake. Not even Kendrick or j. Cole have the numbers in sales. Also back in 2000, you were mainstream or you were nothing. Because you couldn't make $$ unless you appealed to the masses. Nowadays music is so accessible through streaming, you can have your lane and be successful. Travis Scott, future, Tyler the creator, Mac miller none of these guys would have had the recognition to the masses because they appeal to niche demographics. I 100% agree with Nelly's statement. Nelly is the post malone of 2000. He was second highest selling rap artist behind Eminem for that decade which is huge!

I gotta agree with B on this one. Nelly's right. When you start naming all these 00s rappers it's pretty insane to compare. Even if the 10s had a lot of amazing rappers who can compete, they just don't win out when it comes to numbers.

Ain’t no way 2 chainz as big as ja rule

Rod I hear you, the blog era is my era, but Beezy's right. The 2000's was a wild era. I'm shocked no one mentioned Outkast.

Another point not mentioned is from 2010-today Rap is the most dominant music genre worldwide. So technically has a monopoly on what’s popular. Back in 2000s Rap was also competing against other genres like Rock. So the fact rappers in 2000s had that many record sells and impact on music industry is historic.

Nah 2010 wasn't competing. That 2000's era had juggernauts. At least 4 of the highest selling hiphop albums are from 2000-2009

Young buck, a lower, mid tier rapper in the 2000s sold over 200k first week on one of his albums. The Weeknd, one of the biggest artists in the world, who just came off of selling out football stadiums across the globe, sold 170k first week on his last album. The streaming math is flawed in todays music. And that’s all genres. You can’t compare sales from 20 years ago to today. The more streaming gets popular, and physical copies go away, the lower the albums sales will be

rod is actually waffling, selling 500k post-2010 is an achievement, artists in the 2000s were selling a million a week like B said - only current rapper that can compete with those y2k artists is drake

Facts

The only 2010s rappers that could POTENTIALLY drop an album and debut with a million units first week on purely physical sales are Drake, Kendrick, and J. Cole. Travis Scott, Future, JuiceWRLD, and XXXtentacion might get close, but that's a hard maybe. The peaks of the best 2010s artists just haven't been as high as those of the 2000s. Eminem is still MILES ahead of everyone in terms of sales, and that's just talking physical units. Nobody could touch 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, Outkast, Kanye, or Jay-Z at their respective peaks either

rod is trippin’ 😂

Nelly isn't wrong, particularly *Eminem, Outkast, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, and Kanye West* were selling like crazy, e.g. - Marshall Mathers LP (34 million) - Speakerboxx Love Below (11 million) - Get Rich Or Die Tryin' (16 million) - Tha Carter III (8 million) - Late Registration (6 million)

Rod is all sort of wrong.

The only guy from the 2010’s that can rival anyone from the 2000’s from a popularity and mainstream standpoint is Drake. People forget that Drake was one of the few artists that was still selling physical copies when the industry was on a downturn. TML did 400k, Take care and nothing was the same did over 600k. In total he’s sold 15 million pure copies worldwide. And then he successfully made the transition to streaming and became a juggernaut. He’s also the last hip hop artist to sell a million first week.

In our personal opinion, the 2000’s really changed the landscape of the culture. It was the pinnacle of record sales but also the decline of it as well. Damn near every mainstream Hip Hop artist was cultivating albums with a certain formula. This diluted the quality of the physical product. This forced many fans to create their own mix cds. Taking their favorite songs from each and having a physical playlist. Artists record sales started to suffer because of this. Of course, along with online privacy. But this brought about new ways of making music, experiencing it, along with disturbing it. Especially 360 deals.

To be fair the 2000s had the advantages of magazine culture, tv culture & radio. Where with the 2010s fans ventured off the mainstream & based their dedication on what they personally liked whether the song was big or not thus making it difficult who was a star or not.

I get what Rod is saying but he’s 1000% wrong and it ain’t even close. 1999-2010 was the hardest era in HIP-HOP sales wise. If you didn’t sale 1Mill 1st week your shit flopped or you was considered underground. Not to mention Nelly went up against multiple artists who also sold 1Mill 1st week and other artists who went diamond. Not to mention back then unit were counted as physical copies meaning people had to go to the store and buy that shit or buy it on iTunes. The 2010s was tough but not as tough as the 1999-2010.

One of the big differences with streaming people has so many different options and it’s tough to tell what really is huge. The late 90s and early 2000 people like Nelly ended up on TRL on MTV and 106 Park on BET. They were pushed week after week off of one song.

​@@jocwashington7226Well thought out constructive argument ❌ You don't know nothing about hip hop 🤓👆✔️

Ken has the best point about concentrated fan bases. Rod kept turning it into a different argument. The reason Nelly is absolutely correct is because they were all fighting for that global number 1 spot targeting roughly the same audience. The 2010's artists could push numbers through streaming because they had their own core fan bases. I'm from Ireland and I can say from experience that artists like 50 Cent, Eminem, Kanye, Lil Wayne, Nelly etc. They were all global mega-star's! The vast majority of people around the world knew their hits. By the 2010's, more people were now listening to hip hop because of the 2000's era. However the quality wasn't the same (on a global level) so artists found more success in sticking to their own new wave and core fans. The only artists that even come close to the artists Nelly mentioned would be Drake, Kendrick and Nicki. Throw Rocky and Travis in the mix maybe but on an international level, besides their core fans, they're just not on the same level as those 2000's artists! When Rod started mentioning artists like 2 Chainz and Big Sean I completely checked out haha! Just because there could be a popularity conversation/discussion, it does not mean the quality is the same!
