Platinum? Palladium? Hell yeah, we can get those easy.

Insurance companies are in the business of redistributing wealth.

...let that sink in a little.

The problem is, they take huge chunks off the top, because they're for-profit, and CEO's need gold waterbeds just like everyone else...and since they are also in the business of gambling, they need to stack the deck by lobbying for house-friendly legislation, which also costs.

Therefore, they need alot more of your wealth, so they can redistribute it when necessary, and still afford to go on safari and get platinum-plated trapper-keepers for their kids.

Does it make sense to pay for all that overhead because you think it's your choice? Sounds like foolishness...if only there were another option....

Mic check, I walk around the streets with a black tech nine
by the waistline, kickin the hype shit
I never claim to be the best type of rapper
But hafta, show them motherfuckers what I'm after
I'm after the gold, then after that the platinum
Beef after that, Hurricane G packs the gat son
Trigger, bang, bang, yo bust the slang, whut my name?
It's the Redman on the funk thang
Psyche, you're motherfuckin right, tonight's the night
To do what I wanna do, to do it like dynamite
The work perfected, when the funk been ejected
I roughen up the rough draft to like make your head split
Punk! Pass the 40 and the blunt and don't front
on the block, cause when you do front, brothers are gettin stomped
I'm not a addict, more like Puff than Magic
Then pass it when I'm through cause my crew gots to have it
I don't claim to be a big rap star
cause no matter who you are, you'll still catch a bullet scar
So listen up and take heed to what I'm sayin
Cause tonight's the night and me and my niggaz ain't playin

You wanna see me get cool, please, save it for the breeze
cause the lyrics and tracks, make me funky like cottage cheese
Fuck the smoov shit, I get down wit the boom bip
like Q-Tip, I kick more styles than Bruce shoe's kick
But tonight's the night what I write tonight
This type of funk with the flavor like Mike'n'Ike's
Hanging out wit my niggaz, my niggaz
The {Pack Pistol Posse} keep they fingers on the triggers
I keep the 40 between my lap, coolin, rollin down the highway
Blunt system pumps cause it's Friday
Roll over to pick my boys up, we raise a lot of noise
cause, we can do that black, so get the bozack jack
Remember, I do the type of evil that men do
Like cursin out my window at a bitch and her friend too
So turn the volume up a notch
and watch the ba-BUMP, ba-BUMP, make ya speakers pop
That's the funk, when it pumps it makes your rump
jump, jump, jump.. jump, jump, jump
But if you want to see a fly but frantic
cool romantic, more Slick=er than my man Rick
You better check the Yellow Pages under smoov shit
cause Red ain't down for the bullshit
Niggaz fucked up by letting me make an album (How come rude bwoy?)
To get on the mic and let my fuckin style run

B-b-b-black by popular demand, I expand
My hand to the mic and let my mouth kick the flim flam
I get sex, I get wreck, I puff mad blunts
I get vexed, I break necks, punch out gold fronts, chump
You...

I do wish the silver star had a lot more life to it..
Bronze looks bronze, gold looks gold..silver looks like a rock.


They were originally made to match up to the old rankings. I wasn't happy with the way text was looking in icons such as Gold 100, so I opted to eliminate it and make unique colors for everything. Thus, Gold 100 became Platinum Star and Silver Star was dulled a bit to keep it from looking so similar to Platinum Star.

Since things have been reordered, it's no longer necessary. I could polish up Silver Star if it is the will of the people.

Also figured I'd put some variant crowns together. The current crown was intended to be Red Crown, not Bronze as the metal is clearly Gold. Additional crowns would be blue and/or green.

Fun fact: For hahas, I made a Crown of Thorns that I was just going to include with the other icons and say nothing of it. Unfortunately it was completely unrecognizable at normal size.

Oh for sure, check me out
It's still Dre Day, A.K.
Before I chrome the lot, can't keep it home a lot
'cause when I frequent the spots that I'm known to rock
You hear the bass from the trunk when I'm on the block
Ladies, they pay homage, but haters say Dre fell off
How? My last album was "The Chronic"
They want to know if he still got it
They say rap's changed, they want to know how I feel about it
Dr. Dre is the name, I'm ahead of my game
Still, puffing my leafs, still with the beats
Still not loving police (Uh huh)
Still rock my khakis with a cuff and a crease
Still got love for the streets, repping 213
Still the beat bangs, still doing my thang
Since I left, ain't too much changed, still

Since the last time you heard from me I lost some friends
Well, hell, me and Snoop, we dipping again
Kept my ear to the streets, signed Eminem
He's triple platinum, doing 50 a week
Still, I stay close to the heat
And even when I was close to defeat, I rose to my feet
My life is like a soundtrack I wrote to the beat
Treat my rap like Cali weed, I smoke till I sleep
Wake up in the A.M., compose a beat
I bring the fire till you're soaking in your seat
It's not a fluke, it's been tried, I'm the troop
It's "Turn Out the Lights" from the World Class Wreckin' Cru
I'm still at it, After-mathematic
In the home of drivebys and ak-matics
Swap meets, sticky green, and bad traffic
I dip through then I get skin, D-R-E

It ain't nothing but more hot shit
Another classic CD for y'all to vibe with
Whether you're cooling on a corner with your fly bitch
Laid back in the shack, play this track
I'm representing for the gangsters all across the world
(Still hitting them corners in them low low's girl)
I'll break your neck, damn near put your face in your lap
Try to be the king but the ace is back

Dr. Dre be the name still running the game
Still got it wrapped like a mummy
Still ain't tripping, love to see young blacks get money
Spend time out the hood, take they moms out the hood
Hit my boys off with jobs, no more living hard
Barbeques every day, driving fancy cars
Still gonna' get mine regardless

Wikipedia will settle this argument!
Damn, they're unclear. Apparently -um was what the guy who invented it stated, but -ium was demanded by the science posse cos it had a more classical sound despite the existence of platinum etc.
Seems like major science bodies tried to enforce -ium as the norm, then accepted -um as an alternative, but -ium seems to be favoured.
The i's have it on the left! (of the u)
That's a british politics joke, a really bad one.


Haha! Been there too, classic case of the American language having a mind of it's own

Aiyyo my songs on, I gotta get my grub on some to-to
(I love to-to) order three buckets of mo-mo
We gettin more dough, off the books (you gettin gelly)
Pullin more hoes off the looks (you gettin gelly)
You wan hate me? cause your wifey, wants a autograph?
From the look in her eyes, I can see she wants more than that
When I see fat asses I make fat passes like quarterback
Beatnuts is alla that, your shit, all the wack
Open can-dela, if you foolin wit mah cheddah
Hardrock, ever since, junior high suela
Fly fella, takin my beats, to make your crowd get up
Im fed up, niggaz wanna bring it -- whatever!
Ima storm your pa-rade (pa-rade) blow your legs off
With a gre-nade, now you flappin, like a mermaid
Yappin off, bitch you cough at the lips
While Im at the bar, baggin, the bartender tips
Then I bag this chick, with a, hi, and the eye
She did the butterfly, rubbin her ass, against my buttonfly
I could already imagine my shit stuck inside
Everytime I strike, haters be like, dat fucking guy!

Hows that yo? its hard for you to swallow
It dont take much for us to let the metal holla
Leads bustin out of a old black impala
Thug nigga only fuck wit, muchacha malla
Big ju, dime lo conllo, how we do? , how we do? (how we do)
(how the girl dont only love me, they love you!)
Whatchu gonna do? (what, what, what? )
Nigga whatchu gonna do? (what, yo)

Heres to my pollyin niggaz who campaign
To the killers who be lovin the chicas and champagne
Thugs who get wild in the club and snatch chains
Players who be pimpin the hoes with no brains
Front watch a nigga get shot from close range
The most range, crazy motherfucker wont change
Beatnuts, forever diehard, you want pain?
Cause you walkin outta here breathin is insane
Flip a beat fast, you leave the club with a heat rash
You got a weak stash, came in the club with a free pass
I aint even know they made a roley for your cheap ass
Makin me laugh, you was in jail wearin kneepads
Now the beef has, gotten over your head
Its over you dead, ranger rover, both of your legs
Til both of us said, platinum gettin took this year
Cause for real, there aint nothin but crooks in here, nigga

$1000 for a new fuel pump?? Is it lined with platinum? lol!

An ounce of prevention, a pound of lower dental bills. Root canals run around $900 these days. The next step is to go in and have all the little places where carries may take hold dealt with, simple filler composite. Then a straightening and whitening. Teeth are high on the list of dynamic first impressions. Spend a little at a time and avoid the major payouts.

Go for bling. A gold or platinum cap is worth more to you in the long run. Titanium is unique but more expensive. Aircraft technology in your mouth, now that's cool!

Think you'd like to exchange FCs and have a friendly battle sometimes? I got back into Pokemon with DP because the competitive metagame really interested me, so between Pearl and Platinum I've got a good 200 or so hours into my games as well since I got Pearl this past summer.

Yo, didn't think to ask you this before, but do you play Pokemon D/P?

Yeah, actually. I've put over 350 hours into Diamond.

I really like her other single, Just Dance (go vote for it, it's not mine) - but that's in terms of music not video, really. This one though, I just can't upvote. The curly platinum wig (I usually find these esthetically pleasing) plus the blue "swimsuit" combined are the worst clothing/accessories I remember seeing in a long, long time

I'm just surprised there are enough people in New Zealand to have platinum sales of anything.
