It is platinum, it sold 969,000. Platinum certification is albums shipped not albums sold. I'm sure they shipped a million
RIAA have not certified Doctor Advocate as plat yet..... You gotta sale a mill not ship a mill to go plat game hasn't sold a mill yet with that album so it still isn't certified plat yet -

Nosign.
Platinum is how many copies got soundscanned. That means how many css got scanned at the register, not how many copies got shipped.
there's a difference between neison sound scan and the riaa. You can get certified for albums shipped with the riaa, who are actually the ones that give out those plaques. I remember when Lil Wayne sold like 969,000 or something for carter 4 in the first week but he still got the platinum certified in that first week also. Then when he went double platinum it was reported as that's how much he shipped. I remember this being a big debate on the forums back then when people didn't understand why he got platinum certified when he didn't sell a million yet. -
Pac did in 6 years what jay did in 20
Jay Z likes taking his time, he's not in a rush to get posthumous record sales" -

this list counts post death albums also....born again and duets
Biggie duets album is a compilation remix album not a solo album that ? don't count -
Doctors advocate sold over a million copies it hasn't been certified platinum because your label has to apply for certification and Doctors advocate didn;t cross the million mark until after he had switched labels.

The problem with the way RIAA counts sales is that if a highly anticipated album ships million units they certify it platinum. Thats what happened with Puff Daddy's second album Forever. It shipped platinum but it was a dud compared to No Way Out. It didn't sell and after a few months the retail stores returned those Forever CDs to Bad Boy, unsold. Thats why soundscan is better. Soundscan tracks how many times a CD is scanned at the register, not how many units are shipped. -
Big pun yeeeah baby went platinum also..idk why they have pun going Plat only one time with his first joint..smh

Is Big popular enough? There's no rapper selling like Pac other than Em and yall know what that's about. Pac was selling 5 mill within a few months while he was alive. Yall gotta stop acting like Pac only got big or sold cuz of his death.
Don't act like he was selling records that like prior Death Row. A well timed beef with Biggie, signing with Death Row, jail controversy had something to do with them sales. Biggie had a quadruple platinum album prior to the beef. The most Pac could do was going platinum prior to all his controversy. -
Eve has more than 1 plat album
-
Missing MC Eiht...or would his albums be based on shipment not sales?

@jazzybella Babygirl, it clearly says 2 next to jeezy.
