NO DISRESPECT TO 40, GOLD IS A GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT BUT HE DID HAVE A LOT OF PROMO. TRUST THAT HIS LABEL ISN'T EVEN CLOSE TO MAKING THEIR MONEY BACK. THATS WHY VIDEO SHOOT #3 WAS PUT ON HOLD...... THE NORM EXPECTED FOR A LABEL IS 500K SALES FOR EVERY NATIONWIDE VIDEO. AFTER YOUR SECOND VIDEO, YOU SHOULD BE PLATINUM
HONESTLY I DONT CARE IF HE GOES PLATINUM OR GOLD CUZ HE GOT MORE GOLD AN PLATINUM PLAQUEz THAN MOST NIGGAz IN 2DAYz INDUSTRY...

COMPLETELY WRONG...
U & Dat is the 6th biggest song in the country right now. And while the bay is over and done with it, there are markets all around the nation who are just catching on.
The push outside of the region was bigger than here. It had to be in order for these things to happen esp. HOT 97, new york who has never added an E 40 record ever until U & Dat.

Very very untrue. Video shoot 3 was not put on hold.
The goal was smaller than what they expected, extrememly. That had been met which forced warner to take this record seriously.
Yes he was not warners top priority AT FIRST, but with the unexpected demand we had gotten at radio, warner had to take this record SERIOUSLY when they thought they wouldn't have to.
Do we remember how long it took In A Major Way to go platinum? YEARS... compared to 5 months to go gold. That is a huge difference.
All grizzle.
Shout out to 707senator707... what iz it mang. E Rizzle in here.

Bay area rapper E-40 is celebrating the success of his latest album My Ghetto Report Card, which was certified gold by the RIAA this week.
Fueled by the Keak Da Sneak-featured "Tell Me When 2 Go," and the current single "U And Dat," featuring T-Pain and Kandi Girl, the album's good fortune will lead to bigger things, according to the lyricist.
"It feels good," E-40 told AllHipHop.com. "I got my second wind [and] it's the beginning of a new beginning."
Executive produced by Lil' Jon, My Ghetto Report Card debuted at number one on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop charts and number three on the Billboard Top 200 chart.
In addition to Lil' Jon, the Reprise/BME/Sick Wid It Records release features production by Rick Rock, E-40's son Droop-e of the Pharmasuticles, Bosko, and Studio Tone, as well as guest appearances from Mike Jones, T. Pain, Keak Da Sneak, Turf Talk, Juelz Santana, B-Legit, The Federation, 8Ball, and UGK.
The video for "U And Dat," is currently in heavy rotation at BET, MTV and Fuse.
Fans can look for more of E-40 with the release of his new DVD, E-40 & The Hype of Hyphy.
The disc, which hit stores Tuesday (Aug. 29) includes the videos "U And Dat" and "Tell Me When To Go" as well as a behind the scenes look at the making of the videos.
Viewers can also learn about the Hyphy movement through a "Hyphy movement" special on the DVD, which features special appearances by Federation and B-Legit, among others.
