what GOOD albums have gone multi-plat in the last 5 yrs?and Eminem and 50 don't count. because I said so. and because it makes the thread more challenging.I mean entire albums that were good[/b] , not just a hot single of an album that you happen to have liked and that happens to have propelled said album to multi-plat status.

    yeah I sense that responses to a thread like this will be heavy on Kanye and Jay references...

    Not exactly sure on the numbers but Outkast - Speakerboxxx/Love Below

    I ain't joking - Justin Timberlake's FutureSex/LoveSounds.


    All songs are solid except that pathetic attempt at a Southern-based "crunk" song.

    yeah that album went several times plat for sure, but take into account that it was a double album.....

    I take it that you've already called the cops on such a flagrant misapplication of your pre-set standards.

    yeah, good ol wikipedia says it went multi-plat as a double album, i.e. even if you count it as one album it still went 5X plat.

    what I meant was "do you consider the entire double album to have been good?"

    Yes, I think hindsight will tell us that some of the songs by Andre3000 on Love Below were utter garbage.

    I know exactly what you mean, I can listen to Speakerboxxx or Love Below independently and I still love that shit. If it went 5x, then divide that shit in 2 and it still went 2.5 times!!!

    Don't know if you mean GREAT albums as well but King is def that.

    Also I think Jeezy's last was very good.

    i agree with all the albums mentioned in this post so far, except i'd put the 2nd kanye album over the first. and i'd include both justin timberlake albums.

    Don't think it's multi-platinum, though... not sure if King is either, although it will be eventually.

    Some more that are:

    The Black Album
    Chicken & Beer
    Get Rich or Die Trying
    Beg For Mercy
    Chocolate Factory
    Kings of Crunk/Crunk Juice
    The Documentary
