if Crooked I's album ever drops, i think he might go platinum or atleast head to that level. dre will go platinum just cause he's a 5 star producer and obvioully cause he did em's shit and that went platinum and you knwo for sure dre is going to do a better job on his shit. anyone know how many units "D.J. Quik - Under The Influence" has as of right now?

The only rappers from the west that can push platinum in this day and age are Snoop, Dre, and 2Pac, noone else can push platinum which is pretty sad but true.

Oh yea...And I think Xzibit can go at least 3X Platinum with the right promotion...I mean come on, most rap fans didn't even know about "Man Vs Machine"...

No westcoast artist can go platinum with a record label like Defjam,MCA,and Elektra. That's true facts. They don't promote westcoast artists at all.

I think its real sad man, cause the west coast artists put
hip hop on the worldwide map and now they no longer
get the recognition they deserve, also even though I
don't like Suge and the row now, you have to give death
row props for being the power house in rap a few years
ago cause they were the ones selling big time. Now all
of a sudden the west lost all the power they had and
the artists are struggling to sell records.
