Title: L.a.x. has officially been certified gold after two months in stores
Post by: Elano on October 23, 2008, 06:38:21 AM
West Coast's The Game proves he's a one man selling machine as L.A.X. takes hold of No. 21 with a total of 18,600 albums sold this week. L.A.X, his third album, has officially been certified gold after two months in stores with a total of 515,400 copies out the door.

I don't think it's a flop at all....

Whether the album sold 2, 200.000, 2 million or 2 billion copies, it was a major disappointment.

Congrats to Game, dude deserves it. He's put in so much work and taken so much hate it's insane. I still bump LAX and think it's a solid album, can't wait to see what else he cooks up in the future.

With that being said...

D.A. >>> LAX  8)

L.A.X was one of his best albums . .more diverse! if he reachs 750k+ he will be certified platinum, he's sold 637080 worldwide so far, the only other rappers that sold that much this year is wayne and t.i,  plus my life went gold thats at 600,000

Fuck what the haters say this album is great. I love how he tried different shit on this one ("Touchdown", "Gentlemen's Affair", "Money", "Angel"). "Dope Boys" is my wakeup song in the mornings  ;D

thought the album was average. A few hot joints on it but his rapping ability is still average and his beat selection wasnt as solid imo

Congrats to Game, gold is very good these days. The album was definetly better than 99 % mainstream albums that get released these days but with that being said I was dissapointed. The replay value in comparsion to Doc and DA is almost zero.

Doctors Advocate sold over 960,000 and it was never certified gold or platinum. Why didnt Interscope get any of the certifications?

It doesn't cost that much ($350). Record companies do it all the time. And DA did hit 1 million a long time ago.
As for LAX, by Game's standards it would be considered a flop since he's always talking about how much he's going to sell. But in this day and age a gold plaque is impressive for any rapper.
