Damn, this s*** brings me back.
Had no idea 50 cents debut was so huge. I remember all these
Cole could potentially enter the top 5 if he drops a couple more after The Fall Off
Double entendre. Won't ask you how.
Seeing Banks and D12 on that list shows you
50 and Em impact fr lol
Disco Inferno was also the first rap song to go Platinum in Brazil.

OP updated. Added almost 50 albums to the list. It's a lot more accurate now.
Nice, are you planning to add more to the list.
I noticed T.I - Urban legend sold 195k first week.
I imagine as you get to lower 1st week debuts your work will be harder

I'm using 200K as the cutoff. Any album with a debut lower than that doesn't make the list.

Game got 3 albums there, Doc, DA and LAX
If 2Pac was alive everyone would be at McDonalds
Im happy with most of this list
Every Hov album on here but yβall like βhe wasnβt the hottest rapper in any yearβ
This list should have been capped at 50 or 100 tho it starts getting real regular when you 300,000 & less
Also 187 is just a weird random af specific number
the fact that an album called βChocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Waterβ is #4 all time is a f***ing joke
Limp Bizkit is hip hop now?
They and Linkin Park got "honorary" status tbh
S/O to Pac
looks like 808 permanently f***ed kanye's sales, he never got back to those heights
no it was his behaviour
Limp Bizkit is hip hop now?
Guess since he was walking they threw him in that box like they did with Kid Rock at one time
