But PFRR still isn't platinum. Almost 20 million Barbz and only one platinum album. Hard Core sold 2.2 million in the US, Notorious KIM sold 1.3 million and La Bella Mafia sold 1.5 million. Kim was endorsed by some the top brands at the time. The only reason Nicki is slayingi is because no other female rapper is on a mainstream level with her. Kim, Eve, Missy and Lauryn won Grammys (which Nicki will not do) and nad multiplatinum albums with real hip hop and not cheap, generic Pop songs like Starships, Va Va Voom and Super Bass.
