10th anniversary edition of AEOM ?

^^^in a way they dont.

But I think the fact its still selling almost a decade after its release speaks volumes about how timeless his music really is, and how his message remains relevent in an ever-changing hip hop landscape. Hip hop has been through so many different trends and phases since 96', its unreal. Yet, through all that, his albums (especially AEOM) continue to remain best sellers on the catalog charts while other rappers seem to come and go.....10 years from now, we wont be listening to 50 Cent. But we will still be listening to Pac.

June of 98'. Been over 7 years....and its been on the back catalog charts during that ENTIRE span. Today, it still sells between 10-20K a week. That doesnt sound like alot, but for a near 10-year old album (especially a rap album), that is ASTRANOMICAL. It sells more then most other rap albums that are only half its age or younger. To give you an idea, it is pushing more units then GRODT is.

Greatest Hits, MATW, and 7 Day Theory still sell alot too, though AEOM is the most consistant.
Sorry but that is b/s. it is not selling 10-20 k a week.

If I remember correctly, All Eyez on Me was certified 9X platinum in either 1998 or 1999. I'm sure that over the following six or seven years, it has sold another million. Hopefully it can officially be certified diamond, even Biggie's Life After Death is a diamond record.
According to someone who follow soundscan, AEOM has sold 15 million units.

Okay, you guys are being misinformed at this point because this is becoming a game of Telephone. There has been no official confirmation of the existence of videos for Ambitionz Az a Ridah or All Eyez on Me. Pac only said in an interview that he wanted to make a video for I Ain't Mad at Cha (which he did) and those two other videos. Nobody close to Pac who would've been at the video shoot (Frank Alexander, Gobi, Outlawz, etc.) has mentioned anything about those videos. Suge Knight is not a credible source because he tends to tell a distorted version of the truth, so don't believe everything he says. And regarding Who Do U Believe In, people are probably thinking of a really excellent fan-made video from a few years back (maybe around 1998-99), I probably have it somewhere on my computer.
