Yo I listened to Life is Good today and that Album is a modern day classic! I can't believe it's only gold currently.

I can believe it. Nas never depended on hit records to sell albums, but still amassed double platinum, platinum, and gold albums without them. Meanwhile, other artists struggled to sell albums without having massive #1 hits or Top 10 records.

Life Is Good still found it's way in the Top 10 or so highest selling Hip Hop albums of 2012 without having hit songs. To put in perspective, Rick Ross only went Gold with GFID the same year and had singles featuring Usher and Drake.
