When you are deciding who to crown as the best rapper of all time, there are a lot of choices. It also depends on what you value the most. Do you place more weight on rapping ability, their discography, how many copies they have sold, etc.. Names that immediately come to mind for most hip-hop heads are Tupac, Jay-Z, Nas, and Biggie. Eminem is someone else some consider to be the G.O.A.T., but now there might be more people who jump on that bandwagon.
HipHopDX has just confirmed that "The Real Slim Shady" eclipsed the top 10 list for the best-selling artists of all time. This a major achievement for Eminem that can add to his long list of accomplishments. The soon-to-be 51-year-old Detroit native can attribute this milestone to all of the hard work he has put in throughout his over two-decade-long career. He moves ahead of the rock band, Led Zepplin, hitting the 207,262,000 total sales mark. This includes everything from albums, singles, and and streaming.
