HOW MANY GUCCI MANE ALBUMS WENT PLATINUM FOR FREE
Make music, put it out for free and hit the road. It’s not a bad method of building a fanbase and earning some money as an independent artist – especially in this era. That’s how we gonna kill ’em.’ And that’s what we did.
Originally conceived to honor artists and track sound recording sales, Gold & Platinum Awards have come to stand as a benchmark of success for any artistwhether they’ve just released their first song or Greatest Hits album. Gucci Mane was always like, ‘They sleep, bruh. RIAA’s historic Gold® & Platinum® Program defines success in the recorded music industry. These guys literally stay in the studio 24/7 creating product and giving it away to the fans. Right off the top you can name artists like Future, Young Thug, Chief Keef, Migos and Rich Homie Quan who have adopted Gucci’s flood the street approach. Gucci literally floods the streets with his music. And save for a few dud projects here and there, the music’s all pretty consistent – almost impossible when the amount of music he’s dropping. That’s 79 projects and I’m sure there’s more, that’s just what’s Wikipedia’s got listed. But when it comes to sheer volume of high quality music, there’s no-one out there who can touch Gucci’s catalogue. Of course the G-Unit and Dipset crew were pretty heavy out in the streets pushing mixtapes. There are rappers out there who come close – Curren$y, Lil Wayne back in the day. Gucci has been one of the best A&Rs, clearly, to come out of Atlanta, and beyond that.
