Hip Hop Album Sales This Week, Saigon only sells 11k first week

[Bcotton5]

Janelle Monae the best artist alive

Pink Friday in stores now

lol @ Wayne doing numbers on a mixtape with no promo

 

[deathrowzorrow]

well, thats what happens when the album isnt promoted as well as it could have in lets say......07 when it was supposed to come out. but 11k aint bad for an independent artist who happens to OWN the masters to their shit.

raekwon got his own label and he gonna sell more dan 11k first weeek he got no buzz at all

 

[Kame]

Thats good since he own his own shit, and didnt get any promotion

people who shout out real hip hop usually listen to the most boring bland ass production

 

[Calii Comfort]

define "boring bland ass production", then define the opposite of that...just so we can see what u mean, plz.

imo most dudes who talk this real hip hop usually listen to guys like aesop rock,eyedea,slug,murs,brother ali,talib kweli,mos def,immortal technique, jedi mind tricks, etc

all those guys beats suck balls lol i cannot sit and listen to a song if i'm not feeling the beat thats just how i feel about it, then the fans of these guys stay crying because people like gucci,waka, etc.

 

[deathrowzorrow]

wacka flocka sold about 40k copies first week lol HIP HOP IS NOT DEAD ! southern niggas takin over NIGGA

 

[Calii Comfort]

i agree with the bolded. these guys would be a lot better to listen to if they had better production. its like they purposefully choose wack beats. and i get it, these mc's dont want the beat to overshadow their message but cot damn..pick BETTER beats.

to keep it funky, waka and gucci's beats suck too, just in a completely different way. just because something has a lot of bass and "bangs in the whip" doesnt make it hot.

i don't like waka or gucci i'm just making an example lol, i like southern rap but i don't listen to them dudes. and agree with the bolded

wow, in a thread about an album that is entirely produced by just blaze. FOH

 

[sutterkane]

And the funy part is people are patting him on the back like there proud of those numbers, lowered expectations ass kids these days, That album is incredible but unforunatly for Sai so Called "Real Hip Hop Heads" also happen to be the worst, most ungrateful useless fans in all of music. They cry about everything and then even when somebody does drop summin good enough for there Nit Picky ass they still wont break bread

Seriously, everybody online swears how much they love it and....................11K???

Fuck outta here

 

[jonlakadeadmic]

that sucks i was hoping for him to do well

 

[Hatter]

I aint surprised niggas who heard the album knows how dope it is. he dropped a classic thats all that matters.

 

[MastaAceTheGOAT]

not saying he sold a lot, but what did u expect. i certainly didnt expect any more than 20k. all i care is that we got a fucking dope album

 

[lamontbdc]

why folks talking bout Saigon got no promotion the real problem is none of us brought the cd b/c we all got it for free already i sure did it isn't the promotion it's us he's underground artists he's never gonna be promoted shit my girl seen him on 106 and park a lot of folks don't get that look.

I bought the CD.

Not surprised at Saigons sales, dude had no artist development and branding, most of these consumers have no fucking idea who dude is despite Just Blaze cosigning him. You can't just make a dope album anymore, drop a video and single and sell, you need a machine behind you.

I don't think its possible for me to co-sign this more...Niggas say shit like 'I can't listen to that dude coz the beats are weak' but listen to some crappy 808 beat?...Not a fan of Bangladesh
