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.

And the Blueprint.
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
All songs are solid except that pathetic attempt at a Southern-based "crunk" song.
well, there was also that whole little "Sexy Back" thing....
Cosign. Great album.
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.
Are you serious? In that case, don't Double-Albums usually do worse???
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!!!
Also I think Jeezy's last was very good.
Ya kinda cute, baby, are you new in town?
My name is Tim, a/k/a Thomas Crown
I heard ya lost, do you know your way around?
If ya got a problem, baby, I could hold you down
I can be ya navigator or ya compass
Better yet, a genie, baby: make ya first wish
You the party, baby, I'm just the guest list
I think I need some Tylenol: you got me restless
So grab ya friends and let's take it back to my house
Lets watch "Sex in the City" or "Desperate Housewives"

that would be the only good platinum album, everything else is sucks
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
2 mil domestic
4 mil worldwide
Its a "Good" album.
