Every Rapper With A Platinum Album In Hip Hop History

[TooTrilla]

even that mo thugs album went plat, who brought that shit??

Shit, me nigga. Bone and everything around them was the shit back then.
It took a few wack albums after the Mo Thugs and Art of War stuff
for their buzz to wear off.
That Crossroads blew them niggas into space.

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

That's real shit. Told this story on here before. Freaknik in 94, it was Too Short vs Wu Tang as far as who was to perform next. Half the crowd was like "Wu Tang, Wu Tang." The other half was like "bring out the hoes, bring out the hoes." Unorganized but that shit was crazy.

Ant Banks and Too $hort released some classic shit. Game and Beats. Raised a whole Bay Area/ Cali. Just like the NWA movie, you only had a handful representing the West Coast on TV.

funny thing about it, Ant banks doesn't get the credit he deserved. the shit went full circle. pretty much everything they do bass style right now that isn't rooted in 808 sub's is basically the oakland funk that ant banks put out there right now.

like if you told me ant banks produced yg last album i'd say yea i know he did.

if you told me that ant banks produced that "my nigga" and all them other ones yea id be like yea i knew it.

but it's all good.

 

[mathtest]

lol @ people questioning too short. your favorite rapper listened to and learned their game from him and then got him to be on their album to solidify themselves as official.

from east. (big, jay-z and it goes on) and especially down south...


he was selling records out the trunk. that's not a lie.

and then he signed with jive and kept dropping platinum albums.

yes 6 is real.

i'm more shocked bout method man than i am too short, i thought after the judgment day album he was a gold artist if that

edit: i see they count the redman collab

 

[oolong tea]

He was a better MC when he was on Death Row Records.

His No Limit time was his downfall. He should have went to Aftermath in the beginning....

Aftermath didnt exist then.

 

[blackman80]

Nice info to know right here!!....i didn't know that Das EFX went platinum??...i thought it went high gold ..but that's was a dope album!!..

 

[keone]

So your telling me a million people bought TRU, st lunitics, silkk the shocker and shaq??? I actually bought one of the insane clown posse platinum albums in 99. I can't even hate. I contributed to them making this list

how u think master p got so rich? nelly was selling ten million copies of his own album he was on fire

 

[ansatsusha_gouki]

Bone had 5. They count the double cd as 2.
And all them niggas look broke

Bone Thugs has a total of atleast 15+ albums,but most of them are independent and complimation albums...if you take them out,then they have 8 albums that's mainstream

Creepin On Ah Come Up
East 1999 Eternal
Art of War
BTNHResurrection
Thug Stories
Thug World Order
Strength & Loyalty
Uni5: The World's Enemy

And,The Collection:Volume 1...I'm going to assume they included that into the mix,even though it's an compilation album

dont forget they are 5 people and they got fucked over. but they still got money tho.

The one with Big Mike was considered a flop and he actually got booted from the group for that.

I believe ressurection was the one that went Plat.

That's crazy, I loved "Till Death Do Us Part"! I think Big Mike filled in perfectly for the absent Willie D. It still went gold, but I guess anything less than platinum due to "We Can't be Stopped" would be considered unsuccessful.

Seems like a lot was going on between Rap-A-Lot and Big Mike back then

FROM THE ASHES: FORMER GETO BOY BIG MIKE

In 2004, Michael Barnett was paroled and released from prison. The rapper known as Big Mike had served three and a half years for torching a studio affiliated with Rap-A-Lot Records.

That offense was the culmination of simmering tensions between Mike and the venerable Houston label, on which he'd released well-received solo projects and albums with Convicts and Geto Boys. By 1997 his star had risen so high that, according to Mike, Rap-A-Lot wanted to lock him down under a long-term contract.

The label attempted to make him an offer he couldn't refuse, and that's when the trouble started.

Now 37 and in a new phase of his career, Mike has decided to tell his side of the story publicly for the first time. Many of his fans know about the arson, but they assume it was the result of a mental condition or drug addiction. This is untrue, he says, and he wants to set the record straight.

"The only way to destroy those lies," he goes on, "is to tell the truth."

As girthy as his name implies, Mike wears an angular beard and his arms are tatted-up. He is extremely forthcoming and humble during a conversation at his apartment near Reliant Center, where he stays when he's in town. After getting into trouble as a kid in New Orleans, he moved to Houston to live with his grandparents and nowadays moves back and forth between the two cities.

This probably has something to do with why his music doesn't sound stereotypical of either region. The energy and up-tempo pacing on albums like his 1994 classic Somethin' Serious has a New Orleans flavor, while his lyrics are full of slang from Houston and other parts of the South. According to Mike, he taught Snoop Dogg phrases like "I don't love dem hoes" while they shared an apartment during their Death Row Records days.

Mike's short-lived deal with the Los Angeles label came about because Dr. Dre was a fan of Convicts, the duo consisting of Mike and Houston rapper Mr. 3-2. But as Death Row co-founder Suge Knight dragged his feet on their project, Mike began to consider his options.

A Rap-A-Lot representative told him that Willie D was leaving Geto Boys, and invited him to fill the spot. And so Mike returned to Houston and contributed to the group's 1993 LP Till Death Do Us Part. Though it was a strong album and eventually went gold, at the time it was seen as something of a failure, coming on the heels of the group's commercial and critical pinnacle, We Can't Be Stopped.

Mike was booted from the group shortly after he and Scarface had a physical altercation of some sort. Mike suggests 'Face was jealous over Mike's increasing fame. But Mike now had a platform to launch his solo career, and his first two Rap-A-Lot albums, Somethin' *Serious and Still Serious, cracked Billboard's Top 40. The latter, released in 1997, peaked at No. 16 and demonstrated his commercial viability.

Around this time, Mike says, he attempted to collect some money he was owed by Rap-A-Lot. He called up founder J. Prince, who said sure, he could have his money, but he always wanted him to sign a new record contract.

This was news to Mike. His old contract hadn't expired, and besides, other labels were expressing interest in his services. Unsure what to do, he balked.

Apparently this didn't go over too well with Prince. Mike remembers their call being put on speakerphone, with someone lurking on Prince's end of the line barking threats. "Do you know who you're talking to?" Mike recalls the man saying. "Something could happen to you!"

Mike tried to put the conversation out of his mind. That night he fell asleep like normal in his house in a new Missouri City subdivision. But in the middle of the night, as he lay next to his pregnant girlfriend, something woke him.

"Did you just tell me to get up?" he asked his lady. She said she hadn't, so he lay back down, but sleep wouldn't return. Something felt eerie.

He walked into the living room and sat down. After pausing for a moment, he lit a cigarette and began a conversation with his maker. "Lord, I feel like somebody's plotting against me," he prayed. "Please watch over me. Don't let nothing happen to me."

Mike made the sign of the cross and leaned over to ash his cigarette. At that very moment, shots rang out and he heard the sound of glass smashing. A bullet penetrated the wall behind him, right where his head had been a moment earlier.

He hustled out of the room, avoiding the bullets and injury. His girlfriend was okay too, thankfully, as were his children — who, against their routine, happened to be with their mother that weekend.

It was divine intervention, Mike thought. Today, he doesn't come out and directly accuse Prince or anyone at Rap-A-Lot of orchestrating the shooting.

"Draw your own conclusions,"he says. (Calls requesting comment from the label for this story were not returned.)

Still, he felt what he felt, and in the coming days did a lot of thinking. He didn't go to the police, he says, because as a "street dude" that violated his code of ethics. Though initially he intended to turn the other cheek, an encounter at a local club with a Rap-A-Lot security guard made him change his mind.

Unprovoked, Mike says, the man threw a drink at him, and so he threw a couple of his own right back. "These people don't understand nothing else but guerrilla tactics," he remembers thinking, growing angry. "All of that took me away from being 'Big Mike.' It was just 'Mike' again."

Shortly thereafter, he made the decision that would dramatically alter the course of his life. He attempted to burn down a studio used by Rap-A-Lot, as well as the imprint's headquarters.

Mike won't go into details about the evening, but was quickly pinched for the studio fire. He served time in various spots around West Texas, and was released a little more than halfway through his six-year sentence.

"It's hard to think about it now, because I lost so much off that one event," he says. "Time off my life, time with my children. My career suffered a blow from it."

When he returned home, Mike found that his name had been slandered. There were rumors that he had lost his mind, and that he was abusing substances. Neither was true, he contends, and adds that he has finally gone public with his story to clear the air.

"The alternative version is already out there," he says. "People ask, 'What happened to Big Mike?' 'Oh, he tried to burn down a building. I think he went off his rocker!'"

He also wants the public to know that Big Mike the rapper is back, and he's as serious about his music as he's ever been.

Mike has unfortunately been unable to reclaim the commercial spotlight he commanded back when he was nominated, alongside Nas and The Notorious B.I.G., as “Lyricist of the Year” at the 1995 Source Awards.

"The Resurrection"-Willie D's return album to the Geto Boys-only went gold too.

 

[Pre1992]

Jay is like Bill Russell round here. He has what You want and are dying to get.

Yes, Jay put in work.

But notice he only has four more Platinum albums than Tupac and dude been dead for nearly 20 years.

 

[Z MONSTER]

Shaq

 

[chemist]

Yes, Jay put in work.

But notice he only has four more Platinum albums than Tupac and dude been dead for nearly 20 years.

How many real Tupac albums and not compilations?

 

[Day_Carver]

Yes, Jay put in work.

But notice he only has four more Platinum albums than Tupac and dude been dead for nearly 20 years.

True but Pac was Super Multi Talented artist on another level; Dude was on his way to being what Will Smith is today; Jay Z is a business man, not saying that hes not an artist or Pac wasnt about his business though

How many real Tupac albums and not compilations?

Doesnt matter, If an artist can go platinum off a compilation(music that has already been on an album) that is even a bigger accomplishment...

I highly doubt Tupac could have ever made it to where Will Smith is now. It just wouldn't happen.

[The Untouchable GDFOLKS]

That's crazy, I loved "Till Death Do Us Part"! I think Big Mike filled in perfectly for the absent Willie D. It still went gold, but I guess anything less than platinum due to "We Can't be Stopped" would be considered unsuccessful.

Seems like a lot was going on between Rap-A-Lot and Big Mike back then

I loved Til death too and you are right, it was only considered a flop because We Can't went Plat.

Ressurection will always be my Favorite ghetto boys album!

Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance

 

[Day_Carver]

I highly doubt Tupac could have ever made it to where Will Smith is now. It just wouldn't happen.

..U cant be serious right...everybody that was around him,in the acting business, all spoke highly of his acting skills; dude was very talented and only getting better; you could tell in his movies that he was getting better with every role; dude would have been a big time actor...

It has nothing to do with his acting abilities. It has to do with who he was and what he was doing/saying. He would have hit a ceiling on how far he could go and being on the level of Will Smith would not be in his cards.

..U cant be serious right...everybody that was around him,in the acting business, all spoke highly of his acting skills; dude was very talented and only getting better; you could tell in his movies that he was getting better with every role; dude would have been a big time actor...

Pac's my rapper but them tattoos alone would've killed him on the acting front. Plus his personality. He wasn't doing no Will Smith work. We, as a hip hop community gotta respect what he's done on film. Acting wise, fuck the gross.

 

[Hotlantan]

How many real Tupac albums and not compilations?

Tupac only released four studio albums while he was alive and the first one 2Pacalpypse Now still hasn't been certified platinum 24 years later.

[BigATLslim]

Double album counts twice.

Tupac had a short career and has 11.....If he had lived he would have shit on Jays 15 if he kept recording

With absolute eeeaaassseee!

People forget Short had a fan base that stretched from MS to Cali in the 80's BEFORE he dropped his first major deal release

I never fucked with him when I was younger because of being East Coast bred but them cats in the barracks in the early 90s would not leave this man's music alone.

Hell he told you on the first album he had been rapping for 10 years by that point. His market share was solid.

Same people supporting him was supporting The Geto Boys.

Only reason his name ain't still on Oakland's lips everyday is that he moved away and E40 slid into the niche left behind. (my opinion as I'm not from Oakland)

Great observation. Too Short been "that"dude before anyody out of the Bay area had even heard of him.

Hard to believe this cat has called Atlanta home for 20 years...just crazy.

That's crazy, I loved "Till Death Do Us Part"! I think Big Mike filled in perfectly for the absent Willie D. It still went gold, but I guess anything less than platinum due to "We Can't be Stopped" would be considered unsuccessful.

Great article. Had no idea of the lyricist nominations with Nas and Jay, as lyricist of the year concerning Big Mike. I got to go back and listen to this cat's work.

Yes, Jay put in work.

But notice he only has four more Platinum albums than Tupac and dude been dead for nearly 20 years.

It's just the truth.

Pac and Big's death in hip hop, is like going into any business vertical and removing the top two performing companies, the third one shines, and we act like they did it on their own.

Don't get me wrong, Jay is Jay. Jay would have made it, but his success would have been hindered or extremely delayed if them two continued to live.

Pac was killed in the beginning of his prime and Big had not even reached his yet. It would have been CRAZY!

Sh!t is tragic when you think about it from an art standpoint.

I highly doubt Tupac could have ever made it to where Will Smith is now. It just wouldn't happen.

Ninja, are you f*cking serious?!

Man, Will Smith's career would still be stellar, but it would have either been delayed or he would have to share the spotlight.

Man, Pac was a PERFORMING ARTIST. He went to a performing arts school. This cat did stage AND screen AND rapped AND wrote.

Hell, it is understood in the community, maybe just hip hop, that Tupac laid/was the blueprint that is now Will Smith.

Will talks about rapper turned actor, and I am a huge Will Smith fan, but who did it first?

Pac's my rapper but them tattoos alone would've killed him on the acting front. Plus his personality. He wasn't doing no Will Smith work. We, as a hip hop community gotta respect what he's done on film. Acting wise, fuck the gross.

There's this thing called make-up...

Plus, he would have been great in Ethan Hawk's place in Training Day...coulda used the tatts.

"only"? you say that as if going platinum 4x is a small feat.

And lets be honest. Part of the reason Tupac went platinum so many times is partly because of his death. Same for Biggie.

Folks easily forget how BG was that nigga at CMR before Juve popped off and Wayne was third in line, but always had the hot hooks and verses.

Juve was that nigga before Gizzle. You got it backwards.
