You have to file with RIAA first. You'll see the gold plaque pop up eventually. Regardless, whether it's 490,000 or 500,000 the point is that Meek sold more than pretty much every other artist not named Drake and more than his own boss (granted, Rozay has been putting out a ton of music lately).
Where's the proof he's done? I could see if an album flops but other than that how can anyone tell whether he's done?
For the record, I felt he already reached his peak. He was always gonna be a street rapper with a nice following. Never a superstar.
Do you remember where you got the 490 figure from?

Like Kid Cudi doing punk rock music and Wayne getting fleeced by the nikka who adopted him. Sure you're gonna have people clown Meek still, but most of them are fukkboy teenagers who if given the chance, would buy a Kanye shyt rag and wear it in the name of art. But that's just how it is, sometimes.
