Sick of people saying LAD is Diamond and AEOM isn't, etc. These are soundscan sales, which doesn't even track the full spectrum of sales. AEOM is actually Diamond + platinum and OUTSOLD LAD. So shut the fuck up about Biggie outselling Pac, it's retarded.

Notice a trend here? All of Biggie's albums are over certified (i.e. Born again is 2x plat, RTD is 4x (even being a mil short LMAO), Duets is plat, LAD is diamond) when none of those albums reached that level of sales.
2Pac is undercertified on Better Dayz (only 2x, should be 3x) AEOM (only 9x, should be 11x), Until the End of Time (only 3x, should be 4x), Nu-Mixx Klazzics (not certified, should be Gold)
Labels must submit and pay for certifications - likely why Pac's are under-certified due to all the DR issues. But it's curious as to how all of Biggie's are over certified, good ol' Puff Daddy!
Looking for honest discussion here....odd, don't you think.
AEOM >>> LAD
