The RIAA has announced the gold and platinum certifications from last month. In February of 2013, a current single three former hits reached new benchmark plateaus in sales.
A$AP Rocky’s Drake, 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar-assisted “Fuckin’ Problems” has been confirmed a platinum digital single. The Noah “40” Shebib co-produced song is the first of Rocky’s to reach the status. The single and video were released in late 2012, prior to A$AP’s 2013 retail debut, which has sold 284,000 units through last week.
Drake’s 2009, Boi-1da-produced single “Best I Ever Had” has been confirmed double-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. The Cash Money/Universal Motown song was originally released on the Toronto, Ontario emcee/singer’s free project, So Far Gone. Released in February of that year, the mixtape was subsequently taken to retail as a packaged product, which later achieved gold status, selling over 500,000 units. The hit song became a popular video single, directed by Kanye West.
Also honored last month was Waka Flocka Flame’s 2010 single, “No Hands” which featured Wale and Roscoe Dash. The Brick Squad/Warner Bros. Records rapper’s early hit was confirmed triple platinum. The Drumma Boy-produced effort appeared on Waka’s debut, Flockaveli.
Rihanna also achieved triple-platinum status with her own 2010 hit, “S&M.”

Hip Hop is about love and not about having a New York City accent. The people in England ain’t tripping over rappers using the English language to start rap music.

HipHopDX all late with this. We already knew the song was platinum. Fuckin’ Problems suck ass. Everything about it is terrible; the beat, the hook, the verses, etc.

Pieces of shit like this dress wearing homo are the “fucking problem”
