It is called PROMOTION. Even if I kept count of how much I sold, I could still embellish the figures to make it look like I sold 10, 100, or 1000x's more than I actually sold. Why? Because people will look at the figure and think "He must be doing something right. Let me check this out".
EVERYONE DID THIS, not only rap labels

G-Unit did it, Death Row, aftermath/Shady, Bad Boy, Roc, RR...

That's not called promotion breh.


They are not selling albums any more breh

That example is for TODAY,

Why would you say you sold 3,000 ice cream today when the newspaper has you only selling 100 TODAY

When did they say i got the hook up sold 3m in 3 months. I watched it again and i don't see it.

It's around the I got the hook segment

Dude said the soundtrack ends up selling 3 million copies within it's first 3 months

Breh

You keep saying this but it's not making any sense...

Puff is not going to say an album sold 4 million albums within it's first 4 months just to be saying something in a documentary knowing that the information could be out there.

He's not going to have somebody else say that statement in his documentary without making sure it's true in some kind of fashion

Who is the Rodney dude promoting to??

By him saying the I got the hook up sdtrk selling 3x within its first 3 months, what is that doing? who is he promoting? and why is he lying and again, everybody is has laid eyes on the doc before it came out, letting him make such a statement like that about a sdtrk

Nobody knew this album did these numbers, why would pick this album to make such a statement? This statement did not even have to be made, but yet he decided to make the statement (lie in you and other words) about a sdtrk...

For what??

That's the whole point, why would he make that statement and he doesn't even work with NL. That what makes it even more convincing for me.. What gains does he have to achieve by making a statement like that?? None.

Another album?? the whole segment was on IGTHUP and the movie

Plus, if this wasn't true, they would have taken that part out, before this series is released to the public, many eyes watches the series and edits are made...out-takes etc

RIAA isn't 100% fool proof. How does a album go gold and platinum on the same day? It's because that's the day they requested the certification. This shyt ain't accurate at all.

If it is platinum, then it automatically goes gold because it shipped 1,000,000 units for platinum. Half of that is the minimum for a gold certification.

That's not what I'm saying. The date it certified gold should be different from the platinum date. The reason it's the same date for silkk is That's the day they requested certification. It's explained on the website.
