Nah dog B-12 tell these Kats is it did it must have been over a long long while....

I remember seeing forty and him saying that In a major way finnaly went gold.. This was a long while after it dropped but i don't know what its did since that, but since albums tend to sell lesser and lesser I would assume that it never made Plat!


I also remember B-12 posting some numbers and i was amazed by how little 40 albums sold....In comparicon to kats i thought the nigga could just eat alive like Jay Z.




I'm not quoting factual but i do know it was a long road to gold!

I think when it comes down to it.....the rest of the nation doesn't support bay music much.....they can't buy what they don't hear right...but it always amazing when rappers from other parts of the country come to the bay....the shows are always sold out. We get's no love.....

I would love to find out what artist like
