  18. Kid Rock says:

    @why they call me bitch

  19. Nijea says:

    Drizzy Drake!

  20. Da Hater says:

  21. Gordon B. says:

    Not really hip hop though, just saying, R&B with raps.
    And since when have anyone started to report worldwide record sales milestones?
    Oh yeah no one breaks a mil otherwise so you kinda have to huh? ;)

  22. Da Hater says:

  25. freakshow says:

    And since when have anyone started to report worldwide record sales milestones?

    ^

    Since 50 Cent started it. The “50 Cent soundscan sales numbers” syndrome is still in full stride. And ironically, he doesn’t even talk numbers anymore.

  26. Joshua says:

    RossRadar why are you not reporting your boy on ustream with mtv Rap Fix Live 1 p.m

  27. why they call me bitch says:

  34. rich1 says:

    Bc paul didn’t want to give you that exclusive.

  35. Tru Killa says:

    stfu up word.. aint down for bullshit reasons like not being able to dance, its about the emotion, the emphasis and anger he puts into his music drakes fans “stoners and bitches” eminem crosses the board with anyone going through ruff times.. no matter what fucking color they are white,black,yellow purple its all about emotion and being able to touch someone on a higher level..

    i know this has nothing to do with drake but i read some comments about universal and cash money buying some of the cd’s,that could be true but also i know fans sometimes buy 3 or 4 copies,i am a huge jay-z fan and i buy 3 copies 1 for home and one for the car and 1 just becuase lol.i talk to alot of die hard jay-z fans and they also buy a couple also so it’s not also the record companies it’s fan’s and sometimes other rappers buy there cd’s and pick up a couple i seen one time i forget which rapper bought 5 copies of another rappers cd at best buy.i really thought drake would go platinum in a week eminem went platinum before drake did.theres alot of hype with drake and i think he is ok not the next big thing like jay-z or lil wayne,it’s the girls that go crazy for him and buy his cd’s.alot of his songs are for the ladies.dont get me wrong he is talented but im not a fan and i think he get’s way too much hype.

  38. Kid Rock says:

    Drakes up next lets see what he do with it….How about platinum?

  39. SLOW DOWN says:

    This little cocky fuck needs to slow his role! When these lil teeny boppers have backstreet boys to buy again, drizzy won’t sell shit!

  40. Wow. says:

    @ Hiphoplover
    You really think Drake is hip hop? You’re sadly mistaken my dude.
    Everyone has their own thoughts and views on this cat, doesn’t mean their wrong just because you don’t agree with it.

    Cosign Tru Killa!

  41. Kid Rock says:

    @Wow

    Exactly. So if he wants Drake to be hip hop, then he is hip hop. And enough with this “only girls buy drakes shit” Thats BS i know madd niggas who buy his shit. And all my friends live right here in Bedstuy BK…. yes home of biggie. And we all bump this yellow nigga

  42. RedRocBoy says:

    Big congrats to the boy Drake.Platinum is platinum no matter how long it takes especaily in today’s market . To the haters all ur wasted time hating on this and grind is all for nothing. Don’t u understand that haters never go any where . Pretty sad Drizzy keep killing my nigga.

  43. hiphoplover says:

    @ Wow

    i’m Not Hating On No Ones Opinion I’m Just Saying hiphop Is Alive And Yes I Think This Was A Hiphop/Rnb Album Mostly Hip hop Though

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    Remember I’m Not A Fighter I’m A Lover

  44. Word says:

    Oh Drake went Platinum WW but not in the US yet? Man platinum WW aint even that hard to do, you have the WHOLE WORLD buying your CD of course platinum gonna come easy. But if you can go platinum in a smaller area, thats saying something.

    I mean, whats more impressive

    Platinum in JUST the US, or Platinum in the whole freakin World.

    Not tryna take nuffin from him, my earlier comment stands. Congrats Drake

    @WORD!!!

    Your lame ass would be the first to bring up Eminem in this post

  45. hiphoplover says:

    “I specifically wanna thank Universal Music Group for buying up half of those units sold to make sure we didn’t underperform and to keep the public thinking that my metrosexual, child actor, jewish ass is really the biggest thing in hip hop….”

    I second this hahaha

  47. Oj Da Cornball says:

    album did not sell 1 million yet. it will be, but this is a premature self congrats. lol

    yes i still say he flopped. with his buzz this was suppose to happen 1st week, not 6 weeks later.

    Goal (his label & fans expected 1 mil) not met=failure. Failure=flop in slang term. Drake flopped.

  48. Peekay says:

    Platinum in Canada = 100,000. Still great, just putting things in perspective. This Congratulations is tight but album’s weak.

  49. z man says:

    @ Jdj

    but really though..he is the biggest thing in hip hop.

  50. Many24 says:

    did he sell a mill worldwide or in the states?
