Never, he had the biggest shot with BP3 IMO....

All those smash hits BP3 had and it couldn't even match Vol 2 sales :damn:


Dude has the most #1 albums so I'd imagine he isn't too bothered about a getting a diamond album under his belt :ehh:

:childplease: no damn rap album was going to go diamond in 2009

And you know this how? :comeon:

Run this Town and ESOM are CLASSICS and were huge when they was new, not to mention DOA ,Forever Young and On the Next one, that album had the best batch of Jay Z singles.

That was also the height of his popularity, ESOM was something special, Jay performed it at a World Series game and they never have artists perform anything other those patriotic songs before the WS.

Its shocking that BP3 is not Jay's highest selling album IMO.

What rap artists have gone diamond? Lets not include double discs goin' diamond cause what it actually means is they sold only 5 millions copies or more...

I can only think of Eminem's MMLP and MC Hammer's Dont Hurt Em...

Not sure about Nelly's Country Grammar and 50's GRODT numbers but if they ain't I bet they the only ones pretty close.

Only 6 Rappers in the History of the Genre have gone Diamond

MC HAMMER
BIGGIE
2 PAC
OUTKAST
EMINEM


It's a very elite group that's now etched in history since nobody is moving Diamond units in Hip Hop Again. "Hard Knock Life" was Jay's closet shot but he didn't have blockbuster #1 single to take him to the top.

9x Platinum:

Tupac - All Eyes On Me
Will Smith - Big Willie Styles
Nelly - Country Grammer
L-boggie - Miseducation

Those are the ones up to bat.
