Nas is the only NY artist to make the top 10 last year. The south has 6 of the top 10 selling albums under their belt showing the South is still on top.

Edit: I forgot Kanye’s album isn’t a rap album. Yes Lupe Fiasco went gold but his album dropped December 18th(143k first week), this is for sales during 2008.
