I can't picture a multi-millionaire artist sitting on his yacht eating lobster and saying "Dude I friggin wish I went platinum"

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.

aintitman! i dont understand y sum folkz is fix;d on ross goin platinum cuz when u go platinum u have a HUGE white fanbase & rozay dont have that shit cuz he dont make that kinda musik again da only rapperz goin platinum 2day r da 1z kissin da cracka gaawdz azz a rapper callin FEMINEM a HONKEY & a MUUUUNKEE is not goin platinum white emerica will not allow that after ross went against da grain & went fa that cracka feminemz head..

I know my words might sting a few people but if they study my words while I ignore their words it's a win-win on my side.

As long as they devote their energy to me I will be the Zombie-master. 

Ross isn't a crossover artist he's an urban artist who caters his music to the streets he's not going to start an album with

Luke Steele and end it with Mr Hudson like JayZ or do a Techno album like Kanye or wear a dress like Emenim or have Emenim on his album like T.I.

The man ain't gonna ride a skateboard, dye his hair blonde or rap-sing with a Jewish accent. It is what it is.

If 85% of record sales are made by whites and whites are 73% of the U.S. population compared to 13% Black then don't be surprised that Vanilla Ice went Diamond and sold 10 million copies of his rap album.

Emenim has two Diamond albums and the a Beastie Boys have a 9 million selling album that's almost diamond.

So when I look at the numbers I could care less if a Black artist goes platinum, I'd rather see my brothers on the Forbes list going Gold instead of being a platinum artist like Young Buck broke and in debt.

Off topic but Eminem ain't the only one with 2 diamond albums......

Just saw that 2Pac got 2 diamond albums also, god damn.

Oh and Ross will never go plat but it doesn't matter as long as you like the music.

More of Aged-Rap's fictional "A peckawood told me" stories lol

I laughed. What a cool story.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, kinda disappointed it didn't get more reactions but let's give it time.

Captivating huh?

Very, I thoroughly enjoyed the part where it twas said such and such was on a yacht eating lobster.

Sure knew how to make a brotha wanna head out for some seafood.

I dont have any yachts on deck tho.

Your Zombie came through to give me a reaction, I thought I had lost my touch for a second.

Wiz Khalifa is around 23-24 years old, he had a single "Black & Yellow" sell 3 million copies here in the U.S, and he made the Forbes list at $11 million last year......"Rolling Papers" didn't go platinum, "Rolling Papers" didn't sell 1 million copies.

How important is going platinum and selling a million copies of your album when you can make over 10 million dollars with a Gold selling album?

It's very important that Rozay doesn't go platinum because if you are a young Black entrepanuer and an artist you need to see that you don't have to crossover and sell millions of records to be successful in this industry. Rozay been on the Foebes list every year since 2009 and he's the only non-producer/rapper on that list that ain't crossed over and gone platinum.

2009 = 5 million

2010 = 6 million

2011 = 5 million

As an entrepanuer and a hustler myself its inspirational to see that you don't need mainstream support to be successful, you can just be yourself and make the music you like instead of trying to crossover and go platinum just to eat.

lol playing a sport that just happens to have more white people playing is not cooing. jackie robinson played a sport that was mostly white when he started same with bill russel when he played basketball. Hell more white people still play basketball in the "emerica" than black people do is lebron cooning.

but yet still you contradict yourself and posts but then play they "monizzle plays hockey card" lmao. And last time i checked this is not a black music site its a hip hop site. if this was a black music site your crakka ass would not be able to login lmaoo so be thankful its not hahaha.

blues and gospel music originate from african culture....sipping european vodka and a porche 911 has nothing to do with african american culture thats shit the white man wants black people to buy into so they make profits. and the amount of black players that play a sport has nothing to do with cooning lmao. just cause someone plays golf at a country club don't mean they hate their fellow race they are just trying to pave the way for future people of thier race to be able to do the same. And me and a few other brothers have helped more black folk play hockey in CT because we helped set an example that brothas can skate and domitate hockey. but keep calling black folks "nigger" you aint gon hold us back uncle tom hahahaha.
