Nowadays, most rappers don’t even go Gold, let alone platinum. But Jay Z isn’t most rappers. He is the guy in hip-hop. Which means he moves major units.
Jay Z’s latest album Magna Carta… Holy Grail was just certified double platinum. The
RIAA announced the achievement on their Facebook page:
Magna Carta is the eighth Jay Z album to sell at least two million copies.
Now, some might put an asterisk here, considering that one million copies of this new album were purchased by Samsung before the thing even dropped.
But only haters use asterisks.
So ask yourself this: do you wanna be a hater?
OK, then. Congtratz, Hov.
