Thanks to high voltage for the link to the Common performance at Lollapalooza. During the performance Common mentions "Be" going platinum. If it's actually true, then let me be the 1st or 1,000,000,000th to post congratulations. In this era of hip hop, it is great to see an artist still making a mark amongst all the others who are out right now. I'm excited and I hope 'Finding Forever' does the same if not even better.
Chi-town hip hop has came a looooooooooong way....and Lupe is up next.

Good news. Finally.

Here...Here!!!

i love BE. Com's real hip-hop
!V.I.P!

if its true...






Congratualations.
You deserve it.











This post makes me happy.

Word up.

.....well, he mentioned it during his set at Lollapalooza, so that made me comfortable enough and confident enough to believe that it is more than likely true and to make a post about it. I'm surprised no one else made a post yet about this.

If labelguy or ?uest rolls up in here with actual stats, then this post should be anchored. Dude has been in the game since '92....it's way overdue for him.

> Dude has been in the game since '92....it's way overdue for him.


Took the words right outta my mouth. WAY OVERDUE.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY OVERDUE. lol.







now all he needs is a grammy.

Lol.

He also said 'BE' was platinum back during a May show at House Of Blues so I don't know if its marketing on his part of if its been platinum and he wants cats to know that good music (pun intended) can sell.

wow
awesome
dats whats UP though
its a prognostication for the Roots sucess, I can FEEL it..hahaaa

anyways..

True....now let's see how long it lasts and if it can push 'Finding Forever' to platinum as well when it drops.

Kinda bittersweet that he had to partner like that to get there but I guess you take it where you can get it.

that's awesome. congrats to common.

i don't believe this will be the last time, i think finding forever will be much bigger. be was kinda the buzz starter, the news of him going platinum is gonna get him that much more attention.

so if this is played well and finding forever comes out soon enough we could see even more success for him.

either way great news.

congrats. That is one of my favorite albums, the music takes me somewhere else.

Well deserved!! I play this entire album on repeat shuffles in my car! Cant wait for the next one.

Not to be a hater, because i Love "Be", but i was looking on the RIAA website (they do the gold platinum certifications) and all it has listed for common is 2 gold albums...Be and Like water for chocolate.
Anyone got any other proof of this? because i can't find anything else, even on commons website.
I'm hoping its true and Common definentely deserves it. That probably means Finding Forever will be pushed back to 2007 just so they can use the platinum hype and sell more BE

nah, no hate. The reasons for the post was to put it out there, get either labelguy or ?uest in here to confirm, and discuss because i know sometimes the RIAA can be a little late on documentation. If 'Be' didn't make it, then 'Finding Forever' definitely should.
