Let’s be real, going platinum is a dream for most rappers. But diamond hip-hop albums? That’s a whole different level. That’s holy grail status. In hip-hop, it’s ultra rare. Only 11 albums have ever crossed that 10 million sales line. That’s what it takes to be determined diamond-certified.
And believe it or not, some of the biggest names? Jay-Z? Nope. Nas? Still waiting. Drake, Kendrick, Kanye, Snoop? All on the outside looking in. Here’s a look at all the albums that have gone diamond in hip-hop.

Which rapper has the most diamond albums?
Before I watch I’m saying Eminem
I think Eminem has 3 Diamond albums, while ‘Pac has 2?? 🤔🤔
@XXLMagazine the white boy
@5ClippedXD And Em hasn’t updated his RIAA stats in years. He must have more than 3 by now.
I think “Fack” being the first song on Curtain Call, which I know for a fact is diamond, is one of the biggest trolls in hip-hop history. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, just pull it up on youtube, make sure it’s uncensored, and drop the meter bar anywhere.
Greatest Hits. Song number one. I’ve seen him in interviews and he seems like a thoughtful person, but then I get reminded of Fack being song #1 and think “there’s something wrong with that boy.”
