True indeed. Havent heard it personally tho.

But as we all know this also shows how down sales have been for oh so many years. Kendrick's been out a year & just got plat. Time is different these days with album sales, not that i care anything about it tho.

 
5k first week in a free mixtape. This wasn't an album. Game better hope he don't do Nelly numbers when he comes with that cash money release

these types of threads are so redundant, we know sales are down
 
Who are the stupid 5,000 dummies that never heard of datpiff.com?????

Thats great for Game tho but SMH. Thats like buying water from a vending machine when theres a water fountain right next to it.

My thing is that Game shouldn't be doing free mixtapes like this and pushing em like albums. Not sure what his finances are looking like but after the signing with Cash Money, he shoulda just went straight to the booth and dropped an EP instead. Then use Cash Money as a bridge to find producers to help produce his next album. Once the album and financing is secured THEN go do a mixtape run for promo and land on as many singles as a feature as you can. Isn't that what 50 Cent is doing ? SMMFH. Game taking chains from Tyga and selling mixtapes SMMFH. It hurts his brand and credibility. Baby aint stupid he wont let Game near none of Wayne's albums, he gon use him as a hub to move his younger artists off of like Tyga and his other rejects.

Game already got producers tho so why would he go looking for ones? Its basically the same ones he always done work with. He already in the stu with some of them.

As far as EP..well, that would have to be apart of a budget where he would have to pay & distrubute all the industry shit. Its different. If it was that simple everybody would be doing it bruh. We dont know the ins & outs of the business so its easy to say what he should/shouldnt do.

Well he should get rid of them & find new ones, none of his efforts are hitting like that. He hasnt had a bonafide Hit since I think his 3rd album ? You'd be surprised at how much the right producer can do for a nigga. The point tho is that he's hustling backwards, taking chains from Tyga, Cash Money, he needs to take a stepback & think about his future and legacy. Only reason why I could see someone doing this is cuz they need money right now....

Other than that I agree w/ the 2nd paragraph. You right fam.

Yeah, but uh, its the same batch of producers since his 1st-3rd album..so out with that theory in this case, cat. Lol.

I get your point tho. I think the issue in his case is the fact that he works with a few newer producers trying to adapt. I get it, especially considering him saying hes now a club owner & constantly host parties, but it takes him out of his element & it doesnt come of as authentic. Celebration did ring off a lil bit tho, but if youve noticed the songs that been hittin high on the charts have been the songs that doesnt follow the particular formula ("One Blood", "My Life" etc.). Thats was his old lane, but i get it its not as profitable, but when he tries to do club songs or w/e it doesnt come off as him doing him, its him doing them.
