    imma go with either dr or badboy.....cant forget about ruff ryders and the roc tho......when you really think about this ? look at cats like snoop, dmx, diddy and jay-z now compare them to others labels highest sellers and its no comp......in 98-99 dmx sold like 10 mill alone, that chumps wayne, drake nikkki and whoever else cashmoney released in the past few years
    Yeah, but also when you look at Ruff Ryders, DMX was the only one doing those type of numbers aside from Eve. Cash Money has had a few artists go Platinum plus more than once.




    cant believe im discussing sales..this is only because we're talking about run.....bottom line is eve was doing what wayne is doing....kiss was doing damn near what nikki and drake are doing.....x blows them out the water....what aint you seeing sun....
    Lol now you exaggerating. Eve never sold like Lil Wayne. Carter 3 and Carter 4 alone >>> Eve's total sales. Kiss' most popular album took like a year to sell 1 million. Drake & Nicki do that in 2 months.

    Only thing they have over them is X, but Juvenile + Lil Wayne make up for that.





    might be exaggerating a lil but yo...the lox as a group had i think 2 gold ones.....styles p had a gold kiss with at least plat and gold, think eve went double twice and a gold and then the x factor.....and whether it took a year or a week it is what it is.....let me get off of this sales ? though....that aint even what i'm about

    ? felt like a ? was really in the jungle or somethin
    like a ? just stepped outta jumanji or some ?

    I loved that album, although it was kinda dark, I think B.G. was on that end heavy when he did this one.

    Cash Money had the best run when it comes to sales and longevity.

    Ruff Ryders had a lil run from like 99-01, but they fell off fast and was nowhere near Death row, No Limit, Cash money, Bad Boy, or Roc-A-Fella status. G-Unit had a way longer run than RR did.

    Cash Money is the only argument you could make against Death Row b/c it had 2 runs. Best run is 93-96 Death Row. 8 albums, all multi-platinum, 3 top 10 hip hop artists of all time.....during a very strong era of hip hop in terms of sales & overall quality, there wasn't any real competition for them.

    Yes indeed they were. No limit and Cash Money got the whole nation lookin down south and tryin to steal our swagger and our sound. Them boys made history, but Death Row came out doin major #'s too. When Deathbrow did it back in the early 90's we hadn't never seen no ish like that before.
