Admin Hero1 Posted August 23, 2004 Author Admin Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 [quote=DevilsJim89,Aug 22 2004, 10:37 AM]I think that list is alright, I always think that "Big Willie Style" is a contender for the best rap album of all-time. but thats just me. I love that album so much. Nice to see Code Red and all that get some mad respect but Code Red was certified Gold in 1994 which is over 500,000 so those numbers are a lil off.[/quote] code red shipped gold.. but it only sold 300, 000 in stores Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilsJim89 Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 I heard it shipped Platinum - didnt ya tell me that once? Wow, amazing how such a hip-hop classic album did so poorly - even with all the promotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
