So..
WE DON’T BELIEVE YOU, YOU NEED MORE PEOPLE.
LETS GO HATERS ITS ABOUT THAT TIME LOOL
What @ says said!!
I was just looking at Wiki just yesterday and it said about 350k units was moved as of last week, i highly doubt this nigga moved 150k on like his 5th week smh… Now maybe 500k units shipped! That sounds reasonable!
YOUNG JEEZY DID IT BETTER.
HAHA ROSS IS THE ONLY HIP HOP SUPERSTAR(IF YOU WANT TO CALL HIM THAT, HA!) TO NEVER SEE A PLATINUM ALBUM. MEEK MILL AND WALE YA ONLY HOPE, HUH!
Lol last time i checked 9/9/12 gfid numbers were 386,000(15,000 sold that week)..another 100 in 3 days? Sumthings off
IF JEEZY WENT GOLD IN 4 WEEKS THEN WHAT WEEKS SALES WAS THIS??? http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.18422/title.hip-hop-album-sales-the-week-ending-1-22-2012 PLEASE I’M STILL WAITING ON AN ANSWER LOL
Did buddy really say “I checked wiki the other day”? You niggaz is hilarious…
lol what RR bought the rest still dam its been out like what a month n a half he falln off musts used that Forbes money to help himself out
Lmao Lmao Lmao Lmao… He better thank Def Jam they bout all of them copies. Where that fuckin Rick Ross Troll that been riding his dick everyday thinkn Officer Ricky pushing numbers.
Eminem did more than that in a week, Drake did more than that in a week, Wayne did twice that in a week…twice! Untouchable? Rozay not touching anybody.
And the numbers aren’t really adding up.
Oh and was the BET award nod for best hiphopb blog or best MMG blog? If it’s the latter yall are def winning. Journalism shouldn’t be biased. IMO
#salute
Who bought this atrocity? *in my english accent*
CONGRATS! Great milestone! This is what legends are made of!
Yall niggas doing research on rappers you don’t like. Yuck!
I heard you Lil Majer The Cartune. But keep in mind that Wiki is never a hundred percent correct and isn’t always up to date with their info.
Boss stay winning! First platinum plaque comin soon!!
Congrats to Rozay one of the greatest rappers of all-time!
LoL @ Gunplay in the Pic
2dopeboyz For Best Blog @ 2012 BET Hip-Hop Awards!
Not shocked. I’m fan of his music, most part hip hop is entertainment. Respect to those people who lived all that sh!t and found a way out that life. Not a fan of this album, whatever the original body of work was probably better but had less bells whistles. Didn’t feel the emotion he tends to channel. Lack luster albums from artist tend to stir up contrversy and peak people intrest.
Fake forever. Even the sales.
lol @ rick ross going plat. hes at 390k ….gold because they SHIPPED 500k. he wont even reach the 500k mark SOLD. forget bout plat lmao
Teflon Don>God Forgives, I Don’t
The album was mediocre and had no replay value. Also this didn’t sell 500k+. The sales are close to 370k but 500k is prob shipped hence why its certified gold.
Lol
Lmao @ Gunplay
As of September 2, 2012, the album has sold 371,000 copies.
THIS IS BULLSHIT!!!
THIS SHIT IS CERTIFIED PLATINUM…DONT LET THIS ARTICLE FOOL YOU AND RAWSE TWTTER WAS HACKED HE DIDNT SENT THAT OUT
ROSS’ GOD FORGIVES I DONT IS CERTIFIED PLATINUM IN SALES
Any NY rappers go gold this year?
Oh ross said its gold?
This is the same guy that said his mixtape was downloaded 10 million times or some stupid shit like that
I highly doubt that album is gold
JEEZY ONLY OUTSOLD ROSS FIRST WEEK BECAUSE HIS ALBUM WAS RELEASED THE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND HE BARELY MANAGED TO DO SO BUT ONE THINGS FOR SURE GFID>>>>>TM-103…ITS NOT EVEN FUCKING CLOSE
Jay, Ye, Em, Drake, Wayne, & Nicki are the only rappers that go platinum anymore. Everyone else is just lucky when they get to gold. I wish that wasn’t the case, but it is sadly. Ross still getting money at the end of the day though at least…
Lol @ Remo….Congrats to Ross on a solid album

Four #1 albums+Four gold plaques=The most constant rapper in the game. Yall haters need to pull the skirts up and DEAL WITH IT. lol

Foh ths fat piece of shit aint go gold
hi hatersss !!! MMG ALL DAY ANY DAY FOOLS !!!
Jeezy did the same thing he announced he was gold when his album was @ 390k too click the link tht Remo posted so i’m guessing they talking about worlwide sales then idk *shrugs*
@six1twan
I DEMAND YOU TO DELETE THAT POST NOW !!!!!
LOL Ross is a clown
Remo thats one month though 4 jeezy this is 6 weeks later 4 rozay safe 2 say no platinum plaque 4 the hottest rapper in the game this nigga is the most overhyped rapper of all time
“The Untouchable Maybach Empire”
Sounds funnier every time you say it.
CONGRATS
hey ross did it again until you guys can prove other wise it is what it is…GUNPLAY I SEE YOU IN THE BACKGROUND.
I hope all you J. Cole stans that thought J. Cole was gonna sell know that Cole World: The Sideline Story still hasn’t went platinum and it will be a whole year at the end of this month since the album release. SMH…
gold is a bigger deal nowadays than it used to be with the advent of free downloads, congrats rozay!
yeah Ross is a LIAR, he’ll say anything to promote himself and add hype to his name, how did this guy get a Rolling Stones cover? but certified gold means shipped copies so most likely he will go gold
IF JEEZY WENT GOLD AFTER 4 WEEKS THEN WHY IS TM103 ONLY AT 600K 9 MONTHS LATER???
bra today is wednesday and u can go to sohh.com or hiphopdx.com and see he aint gold….. and its crazy that today i see a link on my wall dat say he gold and i jus looked at the list and he was at 386k…… niggaz be cheating for plaques now……. da cd hot, u cant lie bout that but why lie bout goin gold….. u could at least waited another week if u was go lie bout the numbers…. im gettin weak at niggaz bringin wiki in this…… everybody kno dat aint a reliable source
2DopeBoyz is the best hip-hop blog.
Gold and platinum status is now based on the number shipped instead of sold. They changed it because they knew fewer artists what actually make the mark anymore. In fact at one time Gold was selling a million and platinum was 2 million or more.
Anyhow here are the official numbers:
Rick Ross/God Forgives I Don’t/385,596
Young Jeezy/TM103/644,318
And to the dude asking how many NY artists went Gold this year the answer is 1, Nicki Minaj. Now put up where you’re from and tell us how many hip hop artists went Gold from your city this year.
hahaha 389k has become gold lol
y’all haters keep on hating whiles Rozay stays winning.And what’s up with the Jeezy/Rozay comparisons,they both good rappers.End of story
Can’t front… this album was pure piff sonically… now look at this video i edited for my homies in Germany.
well done rozay, well deserved, really all his albums should be platinum atleast! his music output in the last few years outweighs everyone in the rap game. The only way you can say GFID is wack is if u didnt listened to it properly or just plain hate the dude, coz he put out a dope album coming after the dopest mixtape in rap with rich forever.
UhUhG!
Lies….385k is not gold..Nielsen soundscan numbers
Why the executives trying to get in the photo’s so much. One Joe, has the same dumb look on his face; he’s the president of Def Jam. Doesnt he have a job to do?
@YOUR LIFE IS A LIE….UR COMPARING ROSS TOTAL NUMBERS WHICH HAS ONLY BEEN OUT 5 WEEKS TO AN ALBUM THAT WAS RELEASED DECEMBER LAST YEAR??
@ REMO … GFID was released on the 31 july 2012 “6” weeks ago not 5 … please Rick Ross and hid fans stop with the lies … the proof is there and easy to find that the cd was released 6weeks ago and not 5 like yol lying bout … and the proof is there and easy to find (hiphopdx.com/soundscan/billboard) that is has not gone gold, it hasnt even reached 400k.
please Rick Ross and his fans just stop with the lies tryna drop a whole week of sales sayin its been out 4 5weeks lol.
The sad part of this story is that Rick Ross, Def Jam and his fans are slowly realising that he aint never going platinum and not glamourising 385k and calling it a success …commercial/mainstream tv channels and websites say u the best rapper out (putting u higher than platinum selling Drake, Em, kanye and wayne) and then when you sell lower then those artists with jay-Z and Andre 3k features backing you yol try and convince us that 385k or even gold is a success ?? LOL GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE
^^ CALM DOWN AND STOP WRITING ESSAYS WHEN JEEZY WAS AT 390K HE POSTED JUST LIKE ROSS THT HE WAS GOLD..ROSS AINT DOING ANYTHING DIFFERENT.. GFID>>>>TM103 RICH FOREVER MIXTAPE >>>> TM103 N THTS FACTS
but seriously the album is still below par, so boring … rich forever > gfid
[…] happened yesterday but congrats anyways to Ross and the MMG/Def Jam team. Shouts to Rap Radar on the heads up. Latest […]
Ross is a clown ass lying ass nigga lol smh
Record companies & artist get paid off shipping & not soundscan. That’s why the RIAA certifies off shipments. So if a record company sells 500k to retailers then why shouldn’t an artist get the credit.
he shipped gold to the stores that dont mean he will sell that much haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaha
we rich foever biyach, DIS nigger Rozay is tru king of the daimonts
