Is Makaveli the highest selling World Wide rap Album

Just wondering, since we're on this topic, does anyone know which Hip Hop album reached platinum status fastest?
I read in the 2Pac Legacy book that AEOM became platinum in 4 hours!!!

The Tupac Shakur Legacy book isn't the most accurate book ever written. I can't recall at the moment, but when I read it, I found at least four mistakes regarding names, dates, etc. All Eyez on Me sold between 600k and 700k its first WEEK. It most certainly did not sell a million in the first four hours.

As far as the hip-hop album hitting platinum the quickest, I would assume it was Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP, since it holds the record for the greatest hip-hop debut of all time (1.76 million records), so common sense would believe it to have sold more units in a shorter timespan.

What about 50 Cent's Massacre, think it sold 1.1 million units in about 4 days.

Your probably right about it being innacurate now that i think about it, although dont forget, for a double album to go platinum it only has to sell 500k and not 1 million
