Like i said... everybody finna go "plat" now

[Dont@Me]

Knees so ashy that your jeans purposely rip so they don't touch your dry ass

Knees drier than his delivery

 

[DarkmanX]

Different climates. Big Sean probably would be double or even triple plat prior to illegal downloading. Back then all you needed was one hot single to go plat let alone 2-3. Even Tony Yayo went platinum.

Huge stretch.

Also, of course Yayo went plat, he was a member of the hottest brand at the time (G-Unit). That makes sense.

 

[Romell]

I don't get the hate. Back in the day the mainstream superstars went plat and the b list c list didn't.

More people PAY for streaming services today than buying albums outright. We still don't see people outside of the mainstream superstars going plat.

Nikki
Drake
Jcole
Eminem
Kanye
Big Sean
Jayz
Kendrick

Are still about it as who are going to go plat even with the streaming rules. That's not a lot.

 

[L&HH]

i disagree. A great comparison as to the level of artists 2015 Big Sean would be is Ludacris. His albums back then were going 3x plat off the back of strong singles

Aren't profits from streaming pretty much shyt for artists? Because if so it literally cheapens the idea of going plat.

I was going to see the same thing yeah they're getting the plaques but I bet they're not getting the money so its basically just a self esteem boost

 

[KEEPITTRILLA]

1500 songs = 1 album sale thats really fair, it should be less. In 2004 eveb everyone would be platinum and gold. 150 album listens doesnt deserve one album sale?

 

[Juggalo Fred]

streams is like being played in the radio

Yeah with spotify handing out .001 cent per stream its not really anything special to talk about. And that .001 cent gets chopped up between the artist and the record company.

1500 songs = 1 album sale thats really fair, it should be less. In 2004 eveb everyone would be platinum and gold. 150 album listens doesnt deserve one album sale?

1500 * .001 = $1.65




I don't know breh, looks like everybody is getting a participation trophy

 

[MexicanKingpin]

what has the world come too when rapper's like big sean can say they went platinum?

 

[Ineedmoney504]

Shut up you whiney dinosaurs.

Not "everybody" is going to go Plat.

The way music is consumed is vastly different then before, the new rules reflect that.

When royce da 5'9 gets a platinum plaque for layers or young thug goes multi platinum for barter 6 then you might have a point.


But you don't. You're just fossils that want to whine about nothing.

na that shyt is pretty wack.


My nikka Cole was the last one to go real plat

 

[wire28]
