There's no such thing as diamond. It's multi-platinum. Diamond is what ignorant fucks say because they heard P Diddy say it once so they think it's cool.

Em didn't sell 30 mil with one album. I actually think Marshall Mathers sold like 8. Big didn't do 20 with one album. And as confident as you kids seem with your posts, you forgot the only hip-hop album that actually did sell anywhere near 20 mil. With the highest-selling rap album of all time, The Fugees sold 19.4 mil with "The Score".

Introducing the one person in existence who has never heard "Thriller", the highest-seeling album of...all...time.

'Cuz I was watching the program on MTV called "Bad Boy's Top 10 Videos", shortly before the Bad Boy's Greatest Hits album dropped. I watched him make that shit up on national television. It's funny I'm on this topic, because when he made it up it was in reference to Life After Death, which sold lik 11 or 12 million...and we all know it sold a hell of a lot more than Ready to Die. So no, BIG never sold 20 mil with one album.

Have a nice day. :)

GRODT went diamond...
country grammar might have, it definitely came close

Nynth Degree 08-31-05 05:46 PM

Country Grammar sold 7. GRODT sold 11. Neither of them went diamond, because diamond doesn't exist.

But fuck it, my album is goin' double uranium.

Kanye......... He just appeals to people who think hes some kind of big movement.. I say its all a bunch of hype cause when I listen to the dudes tracks I dont even think their that good.

Maybe I just expect too much from big time rappers these days that cant bring half of what their ego implies.

Dirty Nigga 09-01-05 08:42 AM

Is this album even good.....?

Usually when albums go platinum real quick they turn out to be whack mpop chart albums like the massacre or encore or some nelly shit......

Dirty Nigga 09-01-05 08:49 AM

I dont like the tracks he released, that diamonds shit was ok but then got overplayed and its alright i guess, but that goldigger shit is whack....

La Cosa Nostra 09-01-05 08:54 AM

Diamonds was a poofy beat.. And the gold digger one was blaitantly average aswell..

He isnt a very high caliber artist at all..

Dirty Nigga 09-01-05 08:57 AM

I agree, that diamonds shit is corny as hell.....

One thing Kanye has over most of the industry is how creative he can be, even tho some tracks are frowned upon, they are creative beats and ideas.....
