Saw that comin’.
congrats..but cash $$ bought about half of them copies..im just sayin
“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….”
Amili worldwide…good shit
he’ll end up platnium by next month in the states
Congrats……y’all still saying he flopped? I’m just sayin tho
Definitely well deserved. Even tho most the songs werent my cup of tea, i bet the ladies loved it.
He gets mad pussy I bet. If chicks loved my shit, I wouldn’t complain.
ya’ll act like ALL labels DON’T buy their artists shit when it comes out … that’s what interns and part-timers are for. they ALL go up and buy the shit. jay, em, drake, ye, jeezy, all of em … it ain’t just drake … ya’ll kill me sometimes lol
Stop hating niggas ..DAMN. Let the man be successful without some of yall demons spreading negative energy on these boards. Go listen to Dip Set ..CNN or something

You can thank those loyal teeny bopper fans. Fickle rap fans should pay attention to this.

“Congratulations”
Drake has not sold a million in the US, he is at around 900k
@why they call me bitch
Your a dumb ass, and stop going by “Wiki” they arent always accurate. He is certified Platinum. Get over it and quite being a hater
Drizzy Drake!
Drake hasnt gone platinum yet rapradar. TML is @ 833K sold. “So Far Gone” just went GOLD
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? 😉
In CANADA album is platinum but NOT in the states.
Not a fan of the album, but respect for hitting those numbers man.

WHATEVER HAPPEN TOO J.COLE……?
DAMN WE MISS THAT GUY….?
HA !
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.
RossRadar why are you not reporting your boy on ustream with mtv Rap Fix Live 1 p.m
@Kid Rock you´re just to sensitive bitch and i´m not a hater .he´s not platinum yet so get off my dick
all yall yakin and talkin don’t mean shit to this niggaz pockets, stfu and get money.
@WORD!!!!
He’s working on his album?
As in actually working on it in the studio and not spending all his time doing interviews/blogging/tweeting/whatever and trying to build up hype.
fuck drake jewish ass zionist
1 million jewish ass listen to drake
lmao @AFRICA-UTD
Kill yourself slowly
@Kid Rock

The Death for israhell
@WORD!!!!
Dancing is for the ladies to do and for me to watch them do.
RR…is on drakes nuts where’s em double plat???? Fuck rr stay off drakes dick just
Bc paul didn’t want to give you that exclusive.
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..
Umm Stop The Hate Because If U Don’t Like His Music Or Him His Records Sales Prove Hip Hop Is Alive And Gives Hope To The Next Person Trying To Get In

Da Truth
Sincerely
Hiphop Lover
Ps Clap For HIm
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.
Drakes up next lets see what he do with it….How about platinum?
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!
@ 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!
@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
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.
@ 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
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
I co Sign Kid Rock …………. @Wow U Know U Atleast Downloaded And Was Bumping It Matter Fact It’s Still In Your Computer On Itunes Were All The Wack Stuff I Download Gets Deleted
“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
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.
Platinum in Canada = 100,000. Still great, just putting things in perspective. This Congratulations is tight but album’s weak.
@ Jdj
but really though..he is the biggest thing in hip hop.
did he sell a mill worldwide or in the states?
This is platinum in the US.. not world wide…
http://www.rap-up.com/2010/07/23/drake-goes-platinum-maps-out-fall-tour/
he already went platinum in canada…
people are on some serious hating on this fuckin website.. give it up.. ya’ll lame
Finally fuckkk…
Drake, Congrats if you did and when you do?
I know way too many people here right now….
Kid Rock is Now Kid Rapp
You’re a stan/nut rider, be honest.
Drake 1st week:
462,989 (was corrected to 447k by SS)
156,451
104,829
73,178
48,635
=846 082. NOT 1 MIL. RIAA awards Platinum base on unit shipped not sold.
let’s use some real numbers instead of a blog site. Get soundscan baby
And Drake was talking U.S. platinum, not Canada platinum which he ’s been weeks ago. Once again failed!.
How can one hate with truth? Man yall on this dick hard. smh
to make his stans even more angry that he not platinum, he’s not even platinum worldwide yet. he only around 87k added to the 862k.
Ouch just few units shy of 1mil before Drake started riding his own nuts.
At least he coulda wait to hit it worldwide first. then his stans could leave behind the rubbers before hoping his penis to celebrate, but Drake celebrate “prematurely”. lol
His stan don’t mind his “2 minute satisfaction of an album. That’s how much entertainment you get from that CD before it put you to sleep. Old monotone CD sucka jew-brotha. lol
stans retaliation in 3…2..1…
I’ll bet my last dollar the next one doesn’t sell 500,0000
Cornball your a faggot…. Why spend so much time on here hating? What are you proving to yourself? You posted more on here than any “stan” so what does that make u ? Fuckin faggot
hahaha niggas is gettin hella butt hurt, yall dont want him to succeed so bad its pathetic
@Kid Rapp real talk ..its not that serious he gonna go platinum by September ..him and Eminem still gettin more money then yall why hate ? its not gonna change yall pockets or theirs
all yall niggas come on this board and hate and hate. none of yall will ever sell 1,000 copies of anything ..let alone 1,000,000. Clap for ’em ..lift a young man up for doing something positive with his life.
@So Icy Boi!
I’m not hating? Im hitting up OJ da Fagoid because he’s hating hard body…
@Cornball
“Thank Me Later has sold over one million copies in the U.S. since its June 15 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan”
I’m not a stan, nor am I a fan.. I’m just supporting a Canadian artist doing bigger things than your broke ass..
Now, Whether this is based on projections or actually albums sold… I don’t know..
I’d rather believe Drake (coming straight from the source a.k.a his twitter) and Neilsen Soundscan than your idiot ass..
Now… Back to not being a stan and forgetting all the hate. BIG UPS to Em and Drake for being the only Double Platinum/Platinum hiphop artists so far this year.
em & drake are the only rappers to go platinum so far this year? damn i didn’t know that
There are alot of Haters aka “LOSERS” making comments. Drake is freshing. Hip Hop is a diverse music. Get over it@@
D
lmao @Kid Rapp i know thats why i said real talk when u said time spending so much time hatin
i would congratulate him but hes not even platinum yet smh!!
we should have a another ross post any second now,rossradar.com
His next album better be DRASTICALLY different. I don’t wanna hear ONE song about the hardships that come with being famous. He overdid it on TML.
stupid hiphop fans.
drake only sold 860,00 copies. he is not plat yet. this is a way to get people to make him platinum.
THIS GENERATION SUCKS AND IS DUMB AS SHIT
@robert STFU BITCH! go listening to some 90s generation then … he only sold 860k ?? WOW he aint gonna go platinum with them numbers …stupid fuck he will be platinum in a min…
No SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kid Rapp is mad. chill stanley. facts is facts. screw u. u mean i can ride with a lie to please your favorite penis teaster? screw u.
@your a hater.. be honest
hey dummy, that sentence you post is bs. i gave his exact weekly numbers since release, and they from scanned units. don’t quote any from any site who reporting with no confirmation.
U think cause they site have a domain their info is good?
Eat those numbers i gave cause, men lie, women lie….ah u know the rest.
LOL @ nuts riders. Since when it’s hating to speak truth?
If i said 50 was platinum which actually selling it yall have a fiel day with it, but since Drake it’s hating? hahha. yeah right,
i careless if he goes platinum next week, but it’ll be accurate at least. but i’m not riding with no bogy stories just please stans and ride nuts.
Kidd rapp, u on my nuts hard to know how much i be on here. lol. blog stalking sucka. lol
