[Hankaveli]

Nice to see he still goes Platnium

 

[Quasimodo]

[Ma-k'av-"eli]

Too bad the album sucks. ugh

 

[2pacnacho]

just goes to show you that pac still has a fan base, even if the album was shit.

 

[RidinOutDaStorm]

[Last-of-G's]

Mission accomplished.


Loyal to The Game Production Interview:

Eminem: Afeni, can i give you one million dollars?

Afeni: Eh, why not.

 

[something]

Why does the RIAA website say it went platinum on Feb. 15?

 

[S. Fourteen]

^ RIAA counts the units shipped to stores while SoundScan counts the units sold.

 

[mastacraft]

dam fuckin eminem having to screw this cd up...

 

[imported_MAKaveli_10]

Finally LTTG went over a million records. 50 got taken out by Mariah Carey. But damn he sold 3.1 million already.

 

[THELegendInsane]

Mission accomplished.

was that suppose to be funny

 

[DocDre]

fucked up that this wack ass album goes platinum. I would've thought pac fans would have more sense then picking up this sell-out album. By buying this crap you're supporting the rape of pacs music.

 

[B.Lorenzo]

Congrats Pac, didn't Pac and TI drop at the same time? If so Pac really has some loyal fans considering all the air play/videos he has and drama TI has been into since his album dropped.

 

[2PacThug4Life]

Tha Album Is Horrible
Production Is Horrible(For tha most part)
Advertisement Is Horrible

And 2Pac still goes platnium. 2Pac IS tha greatest rapper ever.

one thing u gotta remember is that not everyone knows whats poppin, they probably didnt think em was producin and even when they found still copped it, they must not have known his vocals had been mashed up and shit like that, ur average fan will see 2pac and say shit lets get that.

 

[IMAN_B]

still good to see that pac makes platinum with a shitty ass album.....its definetly bittersweet........

 

[Last-of-G's]

was that suppose to be funny

it was meant to show you that if a mu fucka offer u a million dollars u gonna take it ! :thumb:

 

[2pacnacho]

Definitely proves 2pac is the greatest rapper ever.
