SH is not ranked but I can get the numbers if you want

[Trimss]

T.I is doing good. There only was ONE platinum album in 2012, that's sad.

[King Lance]

SH sold less than 1K last week ... SLAUGHTERHOUSE - Welcome To: Our House : total: 97,532

Game is done

[Trimss]

na, impossible to find Slaughter house lol

Game is done

As to December 15th, Slaughterhouse and Yelawolf had sold:

SLAUGHTERHOUSE - Welcome To: Our House : 97,532
YELAWOLF - Radioactive : 167,230
MACHINE GUN KELLY - Lace Up : 109,748

Now this might look really bad but..


Albums selling over 2,000,000: 0
Albums selling over 1,000,000: 0
Albums selling over 500,000: 2
Albums selling over 250,000: 9 (possibly 10)
Albums selling over 100,000: 21 (possibly 22)
Albums selling over 50,000: 37 (possibly 38)

[King Lance]

2009: 632,373 for take care (november 2009)... damn kendrick can do better than drake's first album (we'll see the final numbers in February =D )

[King Lance]

fake

I checked the source @ wikipedia
http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.2 ... -9-23-2012

> 3. Slaughterhouse - welcome to: Our House - 5,000 (76,000)

So 90 K should be correct

[Trimss]

2009: 632,373 for take care (november 2009)... damn kendrick can do better than drake's first album (we'll see the final numbers in February =D )

Thank Me Later sold 450 000 in its first week. Now it has sold like 1,500 000.
Take Care sold 631,000 in its first week and around 1,800 000 now.

Take Care isn't drake's first album, Thank Me Later is. But you're wrong in both cases lol and I don't think he can outsell take care anyway
