The rap’s heyday began with wars between gangs that ended in horrific tragedies and continued with the rise of the most successful white rapper in history. These are the five best-selling rap albums, the vast majority of which came out during this period of the late 90s and early 2000s
Let’s start with those who almost made a list, which is worth noting:
10. Get Rich or Die Tryin’- 50 Cent (2003) — about 8.3 million copies
9. Country Grammar — Nelly (2000) — about 8.5 million copies
8. Licensed to Ill — The Beastie Boys (1986) — about 9 million copies
7. All Eyez on Me — Tupac Shakur (1996) — about 9 million copies
6. Greatest Hits — Tupac Shakur (1998) — about 10 million copies
5. Please Hammer, Don’t Hurt ’Em — MC Hammer (1990) — about 10 million copies.
Maybe the name of rapper MC Hammer is less familiar to you. Still, there is no chance that you do not know the song “U Can’t Touch This,” the hit of his third album, Please Hamme Don’t Hurt ’Em, which was released in 1990, and reached number five And the most respected on the list while bypassing legendary rappers like Tupac, Snoop Dogg, and 50 Cent.
