A Peckawood once told me Rakim never went platinum as a solo artist but Vanilla Ice did and then he bragged about how the Insane Clown Posse have platinum albums but the Roots don't.
He pointed out the fact that Paul Wall has a platinum album but Common doesn't.
How important is it for an artist to crossover and go platinum? I guess it depends on how hard an artist tries to crossover and go platinum.
Nicki Minaj went platinum once but it doesn't look like she will ever again now that the novelty has worn off, they say Big Krit,
J. Cole, Big Sean, Wale, & Currensy don't have what it takes to go platinum and I say who really gives a fuck except for the labels and the 85% or more buying demographic who they don't cater their music too anyway.
Fuck em, get rich and make good Black music, let Nicky have her platinum plaque.
