He already has 7, he's on a good pace but can he maintain these numbers the 2nd half of his career remains to be seen.

Too Short has 6 plats?

 

[ISO]

Yeah this plaque was paid for

 

[Samuel Jackson]

Men lie women lie numbers don't

getting a platinum in this day and age is like celebrating getting a toy in a happy meal

Ehh no going Gold and Platinum is an accomplishment not every one can reach it's not the early 2000's

It takes a ridiculous amount of streams to earn a plaque

 

[JayBaldacci]

He didn't need to cheat to go plat. That's probably why some people are upset. Jay knows what he's doing though.

 

[FlyRy]

I'm glad a lot of critics are trashing this album.

If by critics you mean coli Nas stans.

 

[obarth]

Jay haters looking for people to cosign them like

 

[satam55]

I wonder if the free album I downloaded from Tidal counts as a sale.

Yes.

 

[EndDomination]

Forbes writers confirm this is IMPOSSIBLE unless sprint - jay himself bought the copies.

Congrats on being a fraud again

Very few artists go platinum in this day and age
This isn't 2003 when you could release a backpack-rap project off a single on MTV Jams and do 400k first week

Confirmed:

So y'all Jay stans going to gloss over this? I was interested in seeing how Jay got his plat so quick. That plat looking funny in the light but so has a lot of other people plats too. It probably would have went Platinum anyway tho so . Hov being Hov.

He did the same thing with Samsung. Sad to see that 50 year grandpa Jay still seeks validation that he is still cool. I predict a Selena Gomez or Taylor Swift stadium tour. Unless Eminem, Timberlake or his wife are touring with him.

Was he seeking validation or a $10 million dollar check up front for his album? I'll let you tell it...

 

[H@LLOW]

I'm glad a lot of critics are trashing this album.

Only the white ones are.

Regardless if people like Jay or not business moves like this one is the reason he is one of the richest rappers ever. Can't hate on 10 milli upfront.

 

[Bickin Back Being Bool]

Meh. I mean...we knew Jay was going platinum. Idk what the big deal is.

We had to remind them again

Some of these cats were obviously salty through the holiday...
