Maybe this is the explanation to why Eminem has not been updating his RIAA certification for years?
Nasaan, a young talented rapper from Detroit who until recently was often referred to as “Proof’s son”, while not maintaining a very close relationship with Marshall, still has more access to him than any other upcoming rapper on the planet. So he has witnessed some scenes that can be perceived as bizarre but also inspiring.
At least, this story certainly inspires Nasaan to strive for more:
sometimes i randomly think about when i was sitting with paul and Em and some platinum plaques came in the mail. Guy goes “where should we put these?”
Paul: “ehh, just throw em in the closet with the rest, we don’t have room”
I was like nigga what?!?!
Shit was so inspiring
