Platinum is a lot of things: it's hair, it's diamonds and platinum
I got a portrait of Nipsey at my house, bro. I got to put a platinum plaque by that, and my brother is not here to share that with me. That's his first platinum single. We did that together.
I have this first album that sells more than 100,000 copies in its first week, debuts at number two, goes gold, the single goes platinum, we're doing Madison Square Garden.
I was talking to my good friend Kid Rock a while ago, and he told me if I'd send him a helmet, he'd send me an autographed platinum record. I thought that was a pretty sweet swap.
Far Behind' is a single from Candlebox's self-titled record from 1993. The record came out on Madonna's Maverick imprint and went quadruple platinum, regardless of how much it sucked.

I'm the 1st black platinum artist in Detroit, solo artist in Detroit.
'Rapper's Delight' was done in 17 minutes. Just one take, no mistakes, and it went to press from there. The record went platinum in 8 days.
