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.

Anyhow, that's not true. Snoop was bigger than Pac. It was a double album, so it was certified 5x Platinum with 2.5 million albums SHIPPED (not sold) after 2 and a half months of release.
To this day '? ' has sold more than AEOM.
Snoop Dogg - ? : 6,137,000 as of Feb 17, 2008
2Pac - All Eyez On Me: 5,483,000 as of Feb 8, 2009

I remember seeing someone post that AEOM was certified 9x plat in 98-99. So i'm sure it's diamond now.
And yes, 2Pac's Greatest Hits is diamond. -
when 2pac says they outsold laface it reminds me how huge death row was , every black women in america probaly owned at least one cd from laface lol .

So either the original version of AEOM didnt ship 5 mil or the label didnt pay to have it certified. (Every album certification costs money.)
All I know is AEOM has sold alot more than his Greatest Hits album. -

im going to have to say deathrow have the better run during the time period from 93-04. but as far as longetivity and sales to date, bad boy takes it

Either Pac didnt know how platinum certification worked with double albums or he was just talking ? . 5x platinum for a double album just means 2.5 million albums have been shipped into stores. Those are facts.
Quit being a 2Pac soldier. -

Just remember, the record label has to pay for the albums to be recognized on RIAA, so alot of those certifications are not updated. For instance, AEOM has sold more than his Greatest Hits album, yet the later is certified diamond.
2Pac - All Eyez On Me: 5,483,000 as of Feb 8, 2009
2Pac - Greatest Hits: 4,848,000 as Sep 2011
Either the label didnt pay for it or it didnt reach the mark until the re-issue under Koch was released. -
Between Death Row & Bad Boy. Outside of each other, their peaks are unrivaled.
Cash Money for longevity. -
Because Deathrow had 2pac and he's the 2nd best selling rapper ever.I gotta say Pac cuz of the volume they sold, but Cash Money has had the best run overall cuz their still hear and are a force

Cash Money has had 7 Platinum-selling artists (Juvi, Nicki, Drake, B.G., Big Tymers, Wayne, Hot Boys) and 2 dominating runs: 1998-2002 (4), 2006-current (6+)
Bad Boy = Biggie, Mase, Faith, Diddy, Total, 112, Dream, Black Rob, Cassie, Danity Kane, LOX
Run: 1994 to eh... I'll be nice and say 2001ish (7)
Death Row = Dre, Snoop, Tupac, Tupac, Tupac
1992-1996 (4)
Roc-A-Fella = Jay, Kanye, Beanie, Cam'ron, Diplomats, DJ Clue, Juelz
1997-2004 (7) ... I'd say that's around when they stopped being a hot label and just became Jay & Kanye
Ruff Ryders = DMX, Jadakiss, Styles, Eve, LOX
1998-2004 (6)
G-Unit = 50, Banks, Buck, Game
2002-2006 (4)
No Limit = Master P, Snoop Dogg, Silkk, Mystikal, TRU, C-Murder
1997-2000 (3)
Murder INC = Ja Rule, Ashanti, The Murderers, Lloyd
1999-2004 (5)
1st and foremost, the argument is between Death Row and Bad Boy, they got the most sales, most impact and most Classics. Cash Money did not have 2 "DOMINATING" runs. The 1st run was not Dominate, No Limit was way bigger, sold way more, Outside of Juvi, none of them dudes was going multi-platinum, they sold some albums but they did not Dominate, Ruff Ryders was Bigger than Cash Money, DMX alone outsold their whole roster. Again I'm not saying it wasn't a run, it was but it wasn't DOMINATE, when you Dominate, you shut almost everyone down, Cash Money wasn't shutting everyone down. Now I'd admit, from about 08-present, Cash Money/Young Money has had a dominating run but LOL @ you saying their run started in 06, Wayne was barely selling back then, Juvi and Mannie fresh was long gone, in 06 G-unit was Bigger than Cash Money. They didn't really take over until Carter III.
Like I said, It's between Bad Boy and Death Row. I'd give the slight edge to Death Row, Like someone said, their 1st 8 releases when Multi-Platinum. Bad Boy had the single greatest year in Hip Hop History, Nobody label will ever sell that many units in a year again. But Bad Boy was the only label to successfully bridge HIP HOP and RnB. Gunit had a good run but they burnt out to fast once 50's popularity went down. The Roc was always Jay period, sure Ye came through and cause some damage but The Roc's run to me they never really dominated the game, they were sharing the spotlight. Bleek and Beans were never really superstars so Jay took the whole weight of the label, I'd say maybe late 90's early 2000' the Roc had a great run. The only labels that I can honestly say DOMINATED were Death Row, Bad Boy, No Limit and Ruff Ryders. G-Unit for that 1st 2 years dominated. Cash Money/Young Money has dominated the last 4 years for sure. Aftermath had Eminem which he dominated but the label never felt like they dominated rap maybe that 1st couple years in 99 and 2000 when Em dropped his 1st 2 albums and Dre had 2001.
Bad Boy of course isn't what they use to be but Puffy does have one thing over all the labels. He's still the dominating business man of Hip Hop, #1 on Forbes some 25 years after he got his start. He outlasted his #1 rival Suge Knight. There for by default, Bad Boy could be #1 all time for Puffy being a survivor but like I said, how can anyone not see how Big Death Row Was, that's insane having 8 straight LP's go multi-platinum. On Bad Boy their 1st 8 albums, 5 were Multi-platinum, 2 were Platinum and 1 Gold. Pac and Big are the GOAT Rappers which is why Death Row and Bad Boy had the GOAT Runs in Hip Hop History. Overall DEF JAM is the GOAT Rap label though.

LOL @ DMX selling a majority of what Cash Money sold they whole history in a span of 5 years and had just as many multi-platinum albums yet Ruff Ryders ain't seeing Cash Money?, OK, try again. Outside of Juvi and now recently Wayne, Cash Money never moved major units like that, they came out in the early 90's and didn't go Plat until the late 90's. Labels like Death Row, Bad Boy and Ruff Ryders were going Plat from the start.
