List Of Every Rapper In Hip Hop History With A Platinum Album.

[Young/Nacho\Drawz]

"platinum" has always been a joke when they are going off "shipped" and not scanned. aside from that they were mailing plaques when sales was at like 800k

That's true too. There may be one million albums sitting in stores but that doesn't mean that one million albums were bought by the public. Master P used to ship half a million units then put out ads in the Source saying that the artist was gold for marketing purposes. That's why I always question No Limit claiming seventy five million records sold claims.

Are you counting million sales, or simply RIAA certification? Because the RIAA counts each disc as one unit. So if you have a 2 disc album, you only needed to sell 500k. Or if you have a 3 disc album, then you simply needed to sell 333, 334.

unless it's No Limit, then you go off Scanned and not Shipped.

 

[AJtheOne]

[SAD]Yeah...everybody in G-Unit....sigh.[/YAYO]

at least he came close

His album sold more than a lot of other rappers

 

[AJtheOne]

the GOAT has 11

 

[TooLazyToMakeUp1]

Off beat and Silkk The Shocker has more platinum plaques than all these rappers.

54. TRU - 1

Silk was apart of TRU, so that's another plat for him

ricky rozay with 7 albums, 0 platinum

That was a surprise

I'm surprised Magic Mike is only on there once. I know it was reported that he had five gold records and one plat way back in the day but maybe they could have being talking about gold singles. Otherwise I would think at least one went past the plat mark by now of the five gold. I think Bass is the name of the game was the one that was already plat at the time it was reported.

Lil Jon was directly influenced by Dj Magic Mike just to name one person. Alot of Miami Bass stayed in Miami but Magic Mike was one of the few to spread out everywhere. If you look at the list only 2 Live Crew and 69 Boyz have one listed as well. Magic Mike has probably sold more records than them too because he has dropped way more records. Dare I say Magic Mike is the most successful Miami Bass artist? I would be curious to see the statistics on that. I'm sure you had cats selling more singles but not albums.

i blew out so many car speakers in high school banging "feel the bass"

He's in uncharted territory. We talking about greatest of all time not greatest now.

Hov longevity is undeniable but 2Pac 11 platinum at 25-years of age. Yeah a lot were after he died but still.. to make that much content and sell like that at 25

I'm surprised only Murda Muzik went plat. I thought Mobb Deep would have 3.

 

[Taadow]

How did Everlast go platinum?

The Lauryn Hill rule. He made a blues album but rapped on enough of it to make it hip-hop.



I'm legit shocked ICP went plat twice. I know they have their following and whatnot, but wow.
Makes me wonder who else had two plats who could have a festival that people look forward to
like that...
