Damn! Great question. Ima have to qo with Queens… Ja Rule, LL, and 50 all have moved mad units. Brooklyn only got big and jay and thats what 20million sold?
i think Queens.They both got great artists though..
naw nigga philly!!
j/k
will smith
double j/k
Vote: BK ALL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FACT: BECAUSE ITS THE # 1 borough
Holleration!! Park Slope, Bed Sty, Sunset I see you.
its gotta be queens Ja did numbers during his run…50 nothing needs to be said and LL 20 yrs come on.
I’d have to say Queens. And I’m a Brooklyn dude….50 Alone sold over 30mil…
I would have to say queens has sold more records…50 sold more than Jay and Biggie put together……LL has done the same…..
how bout pac …hes sold a shitload of records and hes originally from harlem
QB
I believe Brooklyn has sold the most records because every good(not necessarily good excluding Jay-Z, Biggie among others but famous) rapper comes out of that borough so it is safe to say that that’s the one.
QUEENS WINS!
Queens- HANDS DOWN! Salt & Pepa- LL Cool J- Nas- Mobb Deep- Ja Rule- 50 Cent- Lloyd Banks- Tony Yayo-RUN-DMC- DJ Clue-
THAT’S GOING BACK ALMOST 25 YEARS!
Queens all the way, they have had the more mainstream artist, when it comes to selling records.
Queens by far!!!!!!
ummm Jay sells records but fact is Big is dead
LL been dun dun it (the dude has 13 albums) and 50 prob outsold BK by himself + NAS cmon yo
hiphop wasnt as commercial when BK had it they need a new dude from BK in this new ERA
si i guess it would be QUEENS tho, but congratz to each of them for all of there great successes.
that picture of 50 and LL speaks in volumes
Born in Queens resided in BK it gotta to be Queens that borough alone ran the late 80’s and 90’s. Queens get the Money. You can’t forget about Run-DMC and Salt-n-Pepa arguably 2 of the best groups in hip-hop of all time.
queens but ja rule is gay
i might have to go with queens..im from the x
Queens men. LL. Nas has a catalogue.. 50 … Ja nuff said
BK…HOV is at 50mil right now alone
Brooklyn all day
No Question
No Facts needed
what happen to the BX where hip hop began????
but realisticly i gotta say it would be Queens…
I as a Williamsburg Brooklyn native must first say… let’s stop with the Pac (overrated) from Harlem, and the hip hop began in the BX becuz well…. no one cares… I will say Brooklyn RULES NOW AND FOREVER, but record sales wise I will defer to the borough named for a royal woman… but KINGS county has produced much better music than Queens, Hova, Biggs, Buck Shot, MOP, AZ, Lil Kim, Fox Boogie, Mos Def. Talib Kweli, ODB, Big Daddy Kane, Fabolous, the list goes on, we definetly win on talent and great albums!!!
queens for the simple fact that they have tyhe numbers .more mcs come from queens than any where else.besides they had ja ruleand fifty and nas .
bk only had big and jay and maybe kane.
but jay alone and big are still the biggest selling new york rappers (not fifty .they sold morerecords overall with jay being the third biggest selling rapper and big the fourth after em and pac)
so just off those two i would say its a tie.
jay =40 mill sold worlwide
big=20 mill worldwide .
th
Numbers are cool and mean a lot, but it’s not everything. BK and Quuens dudes are the same. We are hip hop. I’m sure 50 had some around the way chicks in BK and Jay had some around the way chicks in Queens. But on a side note BX stand up. KRS-One is still the teacher!
queens wins but BK got the G.O.A.T.(s)
Jay right now has sold around 20 25 milllion albums ww maybe 20 to 30 mil. which is huge but nowhere near no damn 50 million albums sold. thats a huge exaggeration. and u’d have to check and see if Jay has sold more albums than 50, just to be accurate.
I was about to say, until @Romelo mentioned RUN-DMC. Like, damm people can the pioneers of mainstream rap get some damm LUV???
The answer to the question asked is Queens.. All the tmobile my favs shit is Irrelevant..
QUEENS.. stack bundles put it on the map far rock america
I’m a BK head, and I have to give it up to Queens on this one.
QUEENS RUN YOU NIGGAS ASK RUSSEL SIMMONS.
Queens maybe sold more records, but the best MCs of all-time are from Crooklyn mafuckas

To really answer the question you gotta look at ALL the groups from both boroughs, i mean you can start with the big names, but there’s still alot of MC’s on both sides that have a nice following and have sold records. I don’t even see names on here like BCC/Duck Down(Brooklyn), AZ(Brooklyn), Cormega(Queens), CNN(Queens), Talib Kweli & Mos Def(Brooklyn), etc…. I mean the list goes on and on from both sides.
You all know what I’m reppin………BROOOOOOOOOOOKLYN!! Hello Brooklyn How You Doing. If you want to take it to the full spectrum…..BIG DADDY KANE, AUDIO TWO, MC LYTE, NOTORIOUS BIG, ((((( JAY -Z)))))), Lil Kim, Foxy Brown. And since the LIFE files was not Genre specific……Barbara Streisand…Cyndi Lauper and Barry Manilow (White folks go hard for Barry in buying his records)….haaaa YUP I took it there……… so our BK wins…I put ooooooooooooon for my city(sang in Jay Z voice)
Queens win this one. They got a lot of money. 50, nas, lost boys,onyx, run dmc and a tribe call quest all hwo got great number. By the way dcb you boy cormega is the gay rapper. He suck so many way( no homo)
Fuck your moyther Jay fagot muther fucker
& fuck you Beyonce your hot mouth suck me on your wedding night
