He did it again. Add another plaque to Khaled’s wall as Kiss The Ring‘s lead single has finally struck gold. Congrats to the entire We The Best team! Salute.
this was a horrible song.
^agree
How times have changed we, HIP-HOP, celebrate singles going gold/platinum. I wouldn’t mind reading an in-depth report as to why record sales are low. What’s the reason artist don’t see MA$E numbers anymore, doing 2 million or more on an album
^Nothing, against this song. I never heard it aside from the hook. I couldn’t sit through the entire song. Not saying it was good or bad.
This song has been out for quite a while to celebrate going gold. Considering how often I heard it on NY radio especially (and they still play it every so often on Power and Hot), I’m surprised it wasn’t gold months ago.
As far as pop radio goes, this is fine, but the rapping on here is pretty disappointing considering all three of them are capable of ripping guest verses.
weak song.
and I fuckz with Khaled bangers…. but this one was badddddddddd
Agreed. Terrible, horrible, lame attempt at a radio song that was shoved down our throats so much that it should have gone gold awhile ago by sheer exposure alone.
Just bad. Really, REALLY awful.
Congrats on the plaque though.
WHY DO THESS LAME RAP SITES – PUMP THIS — AS IF THE ARTIST GET ALOT OF MONEY FROM GOING GOLD/PLATINUM FRO DIGITAL SALES./
You don’t get alot of money from digital sales.
This is all hype —-to keep this dying genre—- to seem as if its not dead.

CONGRATS TO KHALED AND EVERYONE WHO MADE THE SONG A HIT
SMH, haters is ridiculous. This is motivation, I wish I could sell fucking 20 copies of anything.
How is this old ass song going gold now?
My Question to the Haters is: When have u sold 500,000 of ANYTHING!? let alone MUSIC! FOH! Im not saying Khaled is Betoven but give the man his Proppers! smdh..lol
None of his songs will never top “I’m on One”
Elliott Wilson likes to troll niggas. We know he’s in bed with the whole MMG camp. Might as well just give yourself props too, Elliott.
Haven’t even listened to this track. Who’s on it? Oh, wait, let me take a guess. Aubrey, William, or Dwayne.
SONG HAD LIKE 6 SUPERSTARS ON IT …THAT MUFUCKA BETTA GO GOLD
Y HIS ALBUMS CANT SELL OVER 60K TOTAL THO
MKW
Elliot Wilson loves to suck MMG, YMCMB dicks all day. Elliot do some real reporting on real talent and stop sucking dick for money, your better than that.
too bad his album ain’t going Gold/ Platinum
Albums still flop lol…. sorry but I dislike everything ab
hahaha@”too bad his album ain’t going Gold/ Platinum”
Elliott thanks for switching… See you wont die if you pull out of Jay Z’s dick… respect.
DIDN’T EVEN MENTION WHO ELSE WAS ON IT LIKE PEOPLE ACTUALLY LIKE IT FOR THIS ARABS PARTS LOL
Are u gay?
Shout out to Birdman for buying all those copies and making Khaled still a lil bit relevant. 6 albums out – 0 Platinum 0 Gold
Honestly I think he should have stayed indie and made that money, switching to a major hasn’t helped his sells at all..
elliott wilson is the new benzino this guy needs to shut up
From the Underrated Kiss The Ring Album…lol The album sucked.
Gold is Gold, can front .. even the song is hot, but I doubt people go home and want to listen to a whole album of singles, that’s why the album didnt sell so much (I think)
when i first heard this song i hated and i knew that this would be the summer song that radio stations would play at least 50 times a day because of all the “hit artists”… and i was right. this shit was fucking terrible. and i’m glad they finally stopped playing it. i swear i was listening to hot 97 (waiting for G.O.O.D. Music to be interviewed) and funk flex played it 4 times in 1 hour!!! i have multiple witnesses!!!!
You are an idiot… he probable make more money than any indie dj… and how is a dj suppose to move platinum albums with compilations? Which other dj do you see selling singles like Khaled?
All the radio payola and industry hype and this song is just going Gold, shows you the masses have ‘signed off’ from The Machine. Meanwhile the Thrift Shop song by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis just went platinum mocking this type of music
Khaled is not white though
^^ macklemore & ryan are white. just like eminem & adele & taylor swift
WOW ^^ to the guy above me. you and i were thinking the same exact thought at the same damn time. great minds think alike

So you’re calling me an idiot when you can’t spell “probably”. Ask Flex & Clue how a DJ can go platinum with a compilation album.
