The album was certified quadruple Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).Her first live album, Live (1997), was certified double Platinum and was recorded at The Masonic Temple Theater in Detroit on May 16, 1997.
Badu’s second studio album, Mama’s Gun (2000), was released on D’Angelo’s label Vaughan Sound in October 2000 to critical acclaim. Its lead single “Bag Lady” became one of her signature songs after its Top 10 R&B/Hip-Hop and Top 20 pop performance. The album was certified double Platinum by the RIAA.
