Albums not included were on majors or major distributors including E-40, Too Short, Yukmouth, some C-Bo titles etc. If I forgot anyone, let me know and I will post it up if they scanned over 5K. Honorable mentions just under 5K included Cellski, Fully Loaded, Heated Speeches, Jay Tee/Baby Beesh, Mr. Kee, Riderlife, Bay 2 Sac and a lot of others I cant think of right now but I will add them as I do. Although a lot of titles didn’t make the list, keep in mind that labels like 40 Ounce, Done Deal, Get Low, Inner City and others did very well through sales of their catalog titles and having several projects out. Also keep in mind that although an album may scan 3K or 5K, that can fluctuate greatly if they are doing intense street promotions and selling at an independent level.
