That is how many copies were actually shipped in the US. It isn't an indication of what he actually sold. He got the certification based on the shipment. He would've had to sell like 500K every week to rack up 2 million in sales.

Breh, 4x - July 10, 1998. RIAA said this is what he have on file. According to what YOU said and what YOU learned about RIAA, that P shipped 4x on July 10, 1998


I asked you, how many were shipped on his release day June 2nd?

Due to losing the lawsuits, Priority & Beats By The Pound own the masters of Master P's Priority albums starting with Ice Cream Man. Even on streaming services those albums say Priority Records.

That's why P made a "greatest hits" album with remade beats and re-recorded lyrics of his Priority songs. It's so cheap sounding that the first couple of songs actually skip when you stream them. Literally skips like a scratched up CD:gucci:

I thought something was wrong with my phone the first time I played it.


And up until like 4 years ago, this was the only Priority records era Master P available on streaming.

wow crazy, I wonder how he lost those lost suits

Ehh Mystikal was actually still signed to Jive (and Big Boy Records). Check the back of his No Limit albums. Jive distributed them too, not Priority. That's why he was still on Jive when he left No Limit.

You don't believe the 375k was wrote to Jive?

That DOES NOT mean it shipped 4X platinum on July 10. It means that within the 30 days of release, they could verify that 2 million copies (2 million multiplied by 2 since its a double) were shipped to stores after an audit was purchased performed. July 10 is the date it was certified.

If that was believable, Why would P or anybody else lie about his albums being sold from his company

Do you believe he made 56.6. and made over 400 million?
with as many hands in pots like he was doing yes, not to mention how much was No Limit worth as a company. But with the Jive, Mystikal thing, I believe they just reconstructured his deal to match what priority was doing. Before Mystikal was simply signed as another artist, I believe when he got with No Limit they distributed him like Priority.

Eone is controlling the editing, not Master P.

If that is the case, Why would E one allow people to make false statements??? P making 56.6 and No Limit being worth 400 is true???

Them putting up Fiend - There's one in every family selling a million and Mama Drama selling a million isn't true?? When as folks say, they could easily look at these websites?? This does not make sense, Either it's true and they put these albums in the segment as them selling a milli, or it isn't true because Eone (who is doing the editing) has seen the information out about these albums. They will take that part out or not have that mentioned.

Also Eone, sat and heard where the man made the statement about IGTHUP being 3 in 3, You don't think that they would make calls to verfiy this information??? You don't think they would jump on these sites and send over this information to P or whoever so that they could dispute what dude has said?


I"m calling cap on these websites...These websites been on the funny style when it came to rappers, they did the same thing to NWA and Easy E, when they were selling crazy albums...

You're not understanding how TV works. They're not necessarily worried about numbers being off because it helps the story sound even more :whoo:.

Nobody involved is gonna say "No, they sold less than what that said" because it makes everybody involved look good. They're not working that hard to verify everything, especially for albums that have been out of print for almost 20 years.

Again, I actually had a long convo with one of the producers about the making of this. There was a rush to get this and the Ruff Ryders series done in roughly 3 months so that they could coordinate the rollout.

This doesn't make any sense:

June 2nd is the release date " Why would P ship 2 million records within this month's span??

They could verify that 2x were shipped but they listed 4x (ok whatever) they verified this in 30 days.... So P hit 4x (2 million) in 1 month?

That was a big album, P's last, so after a month, the album just stopped selling? He shipped 2 million within a month span but the 2nd month (with a video out), P didn't sell any more?

Make that make sense? Put your 90s cap on...albums sold

I understand that they are not going to let folks sit up there and cap all throughout documentaries too. Especially when it's easy to verify the information

Does any other music genre's fanbase care so much about sales? Dudes don't sit back and argue over how many albums Billy Ray Cyrus sold do they?

pop music fans are actually far worse, cause there’s no “keep it real son! The underground is better!” Pretense to combat it...Bieber, Taylor swift stans etc...there are entire messageboards dedicated to sales

No it doesn't mean the album stopped selling. He didn't sell that amount in a month. Da Last Don did eventually sell 2 million copies, but not in a span of a month. This applies to every album that has been released since the RIAA existed.

This pic was posted in another thread but here. This is verified information from the Pimp C autobiography and there are interviews about it

They not taking that much time to verify a statement about an out-of-print album. But you can believe what you want to believe:yeshrug:.

Breh, just because you don't agree with the information on RIAA doesn't make it cap. That is an academy in which the entire industry abides by. You don't have to agree, but it doesn't change the truth.

What does it being P's last solo album have to do with any of this?

Everything I am posting makes sense to everyone, but you and one other poster. Yet you and the one other poster choose to believe Wikipedia articles that have no citations to verify the information.
This nikka got to be Lil Romeo with the way he caping. Acting like you insulting his daddy or some shyt lol.

Breh, you're gullible and naive. If anybody capping here it is you. You're too much of a stan to believe that the bumbers on Wiki are bogus, but want to call out an association that certifies albums for every artist in the music industry, but its all cap as it applies to No Limit according to you.
