Source-derived summary

The discography of Nick Cannon, an American rapper, comedian, and actor, consists of five studio albums, a compilation album, a comedy album, two mixtapes, and 17 singles. His self-titled debut studio album, Nick Cannon, was released on December 9, 2003, via Jive Records. Upon its release, the album has peaked at number 83 on the US Billboard 200 and number 15 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, in which has sold over 200,000 certified units. His second studio album, White People Party Music, was released on April 1, 2014, via N'Credible Entertainment. Upon its release, the album has failed to emulate similar success of its predecessor by not entering charts.

From 2018 to 2022, Cannon would release three more albums: Calling All Models: The Prequel on June 1, 2018, The Miseducation of the Negro You Love to Hate on January 13, 2020 and The Explicit Tape: Raw & B on May 20, 2022.

Cannon's comedy album, Mr. Showbiz, was released on May 14, 2011, via New Wave Dynamics and has charted on the Top Comedy Albums chart at 3rd and the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums at 66th. His following mixtape, Child of the Corn, failed to chart in any country while his most recent mixtape The Gospel of Ike Turn Up: My Side of the Story, was released on November 16, 2016. His debut album spawned two singles, "Feelin' Freaky" and "Gigolo", that had charted on the national chart of the United States, which is the Billboard Hot 100, at 92nd and 24th, respectively.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Nick Cannon discography” as artist discography. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewStrongest as a route into the people, institutions and dated events that shaped the subject’s public record. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2003, 2014, 2018, 2022—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Nick, Cannon and discography can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as artist discography. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q60744789. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2003, 2014, 2018 and 2022.

Critical limits

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Read biographical claims against dates, named institutions and the cited references. Distinguish a subject’s later reputation from evidence produced during their lifetime.
