I always look at sales like this:

White people ate supposedly 85% of the buying consumers who purchase HipHop.

White people are 73% of the population here on the U.S. Compared to our 13%.

Whites have more disposable income to spend on albums.

So based on this formula:

The Beastie Boys "License to Ill" sold 9x Platinum

Vanilla Ice "To the Extreme" went 10x platinum

Emenims SSLP & Emenim-Show both went 10x Platinum

If a Black rapper want to sell that many albums he gotta be dead, or buckdancing in his videos.

But peep game, I was at the ski-lodge with Tanner & Channing & they reminded me of this:

Rakim doesn't have a platinum album for his solo work but Paul Wall does

The Roots don't have a platinum album for their work but Insane Clown Possee does.

So it's cool when an artist music is supported and considered a sales success but what does it really mean when Chingy has multiple platinum plaques and Common has none? That's why I say just shoot for the Forbes list. 

Good Post

But Eric B and Rakim went Plat with Paid In Full

That's why I said "For his Solo work".
