4:44 certified platinum

[larryshogunz]

Salty? I'm sorry but no. I think you're a salty because you seem to have a problem with the truth but that's not my problem. Hov didn't earn that million. Sprint brought that shyt and gave it away basically. They are recouping the cash on the phone bill.

Foh. I'm not the one hating on Hov creating blueprints to getting money. That's you. You say that Hov didn't earn that million ? Him being Jay-Z sold the album. You just a hater who has to reach for assumptions to hate on success.

Lol at you being clueless enough to think many more weren't streaming it from other phone services on Tidal. But knowing that would make you even more saltier knowing that platinum # is going to keep growing.

"But but but sprint bought that shyt and gave it away basically"...like a salesman gives a fukk if you crash the car leaving the lot. Smarten up...

"They are recouping the cash on the phone bill"...confuse your self, brehs.

So much fury

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

So Hov outsold Drake too.

It's just Camel and Kenny now

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Well artistic value is a matter of opinion. I feel what you saying.

I'm talking about business value in this thread though, which Em is shoulder to shoulder with Jay with.

Now artistic wise, that's a whole nother topic lol. I happen to like Em and put him in the same elite tier with Jay but I know many on here don't and that's cool.

shoulder to shoulder.... yea fukking right

jay dropped magna carter in 2013 and it's 2 times plat.... em dropped marshall mathers 2 in 2013 and it's 4 times plat... and lets not even get into international numbers



nobody is in em's lane... we can all decipher why that is... but numbers don't lie... nobody touching em and ever was when it comes to pure numbers

Dudes is acting like Jay z of all people need help selling records. But when drake sells crazy records no one questions it. It's jay he has the whole world talking about this album. Ofcourse he sold a lot.

 

[WickedGames]

It's been confirmed the plat was confirmed with the deal why are people debating ?

 

[Bickin Back Being Bool]

It's a whole new regime

 

[Ziggiy]

Describe the table because the ONLY reason Em ain't at that table is because he's a recluse and is content with his life and $$$. Em's one of the few artist who can legit still sell 500,000+ in one week with no need for any new rules of a company buying his records or counting streams.

Eminem cannot hold a candle to Jay-Z. He sells records because he is the great white Hope. Point blank PERIOD

Not sure if this was posted, but like MCHG, sprint bought a million copies of the album prior to release. So he knew he'd go platinum off that alone.

• By July 2, the album was offered as a free download, sponsored by Sprint, via the website 444.tidal.com. Those album downloads–which were free to the consumer but purchased by Sprint for distribution–were counted by the RIAA towards the platinum certification. Roc Nation told Billboard that the certification reflects those 1 million downloads, and no streams were applied towards the certification.[31]

 

[Batter Up]

Album exceeded my expectations, didn't think Hov still had it in him. Don't care enough to check how valid these sale figures are, but if they're real it's good to see quality getting rewarded.

 

[iamduval]

I don't see what the hate is about. All of jay's albums have gon platinum one way or another. He's never really bricked.

Rihanna and U2 did the same thing. This is the new roll out for big artists. The fans win at the end of the day

 

[Tetris v2.0]

I still don't get what the point is. Just being able to say he went Plat? Having a plaque on the wall?

It was Plat before it was even released lol

 

[fade]

It's fake plat but let's not act like a Hov album wouldn't have gone plat anyways in the traditional way.

 

[Chip Skylark]

glad the album is getting panned by a lot of critics. It's wack, and it looks like Jay Fraud got himself another fake plaque

Not true. This album has received universal acclaim and many publications are saying it's his best since black album.

 

[Chip Skylark]

I heard effin was planning on copping a milli

breh stfu. He most definitely was gonna go plat. If he put this out on all steaming platforms shyt woulda been streamed as much as Cole, Kendrick and drake album. The truth hurts brehs, let it sink in

This. everyone that has an iPhone and Apple music was complaing and trying to get their hands on the album. From snoop to your average twitter follower. His streams would've increased of he did. He most definately would've sold like drake, Kendrick or cole
