Best Rapper Alive: Total Albums & US Sales

So for my first post I will compare record sales and total albums. I have decided to use Wikipedia as my source for Discography on each artist. What I will list on this post is the rapper's name, number of album's, and total approximate US sales. Also, I will not be posting any collaboration albums, just individual albums.

• Jay Z - Total Albums: 10, Total Sales: 23 Million Albums (RIAA)
• T.I. - Total Albums: 6, Total Sales: 7.5 Million Albums (RIAA)
• Lil Wayne - Total Albums: 6, Total Sales: 9.3 Million Albums (RIAA)
• Eminem - Total Albums: 5, Total Sales: 29.5 Million Albums (RIAA)
• The Game - Total Albums: 3, Total Sales: 4.2 Million Albums (RIAA)
• 50 Cent - Total Albums: 3, Total Sales: 14.5 Million Albums (RIAA)
  
• Ludacris - Total Albums: 6, Total Sales: 15 Million Albums (RIAA)
  
• Young Jeezy - Total Albums: 5, Total Sales: 3.6 Million Albums (RIAA)
  
• Bun B - Total Albums: 2, Total Sales: 800k Albums (RIAA)

So after getting all this information together, the rapper with the most total album sales goes to Eminem who has nearly 6 million more sales in the US compared to Jay-Z. Once again these numbers are from the US, so they could be altered on a Worldwide level. So far though The Game, and Bun B do not have the commercial appeal I thought they did, but that could also be because they have the fewest individual albums released compared to the rest. The one exception is 50 cent who because of his first album has some pretty incredible numbers. Young Jeezy on the other hand has dropped 5 cd's which I didn't know about, and that seems like it hurt's his appeal based on just numbers.
