did this dumbass just post a link to a showbiz thread :snoop:

if its certified gold, someone should be able to post a RIAA link.. its really that simple..

:what: that's not a thread, that's a pretty official looking website....

It only sold 94,000 first week but every where I looked it said that it's certified gold or sold 500. Not too many official looking places though. RIAA doesn't have a list of all gold certified albums available online, though to my knowledge. If you know of such a list, you can find it yourself. BTW, I'm not trying to argue in Jeezy's defense, just posting what I could find on the subject. And it does seem that Cold Summer did indeed go gold.

MMG is distributed by Atlantic, CTE is distributed by Def Jam. Def Jam don't do shyt for their artists label unless you was Jay.

and MMG was on Def Jam initially. When Def Jam wasn't feelin the idea of keeping MMG, Ross made a move. All Jeezy got outta CTE was a USDA and Bloodraw album. MMG blew up so much Def Jam was willing to reinvest in it by giving Gunplay a solo deal instead of letting him slip away. Meanwhile Def Jam hasn't even signed Freddie Gibbs officially. Not every label imprint means you're signed to the parent label.

and let some of y'all tell it, Atlantic sucks too.


As for Gibbs vs. Meek, Gibbs' 2 best attributes over Meek are that he's a better storyteller and that he can put together a better cohesive project (Meek's gonna get a major label chance at this). Unfortunately, Gibbs' drawbacks are what you kinda need to succeed in hip-hop and Meek has that.

I haven't been impressed by shyt Def Jam has done for at least 5 years besides Rihanna. Atlantic is a much better label for rappers. As for Meek vs. Gibbs, Meek is more youth orientated while Gibbs is more geared towards fans 25 and up that can remember when hiphop was good. Meek caters more to the swag generation as opposed to the substance generation.

Who was the last new rapper Def Jam introduced that went at least gold?

who was the last new rapper in general that went at least gold? Pretty much J. Cole, B.o.B, Drake, Wiz Khalifa, and Nicki Minaj are the last 5 over a 5 year span

As for Gibbs catering to older hip hop fans, he's 30 years old. His music is more towards the older heads, but that comes at a cost as far as visibility goes.

B.o.B and Wiz Khalifa are on Atlantic. So was Plies, Flo-Rida and Lupe who went gold. Def Jam ain't broke a new rap artist that went gold since Ross.
