[ThaChozenWun]

LMAO @ Young Money still not going gold and Khaled at 42 k smh @ we the best

 

[a posting ape]

LOL@ carter 3 still on the charts

 

[grumpy_new_yorker]

honestly not one album on this list i would listen to...

 

[just.might.b.ok]

is there anybody who thinks that sales = quality? like for real?

 

[Yung_Souf_Money]

where did you get it from?

 

[ThaChozenWun]

is there anybody who thinks that sales = quality? like for real?

In a way yes, if your shitty, you sell bad, if you decent but not good you sell like 100k, if you decent you can move up to plat, if your good you can go 2x plat +, but once your better than most you quit selling again because your to smart for the listener. Quality beats for example = good sales no matter who the artist is. Shitty beats plus good rapper = wack sales, good beats + good rapper = great sales. People who do buy albums the majority by them based on the artist in their mind but really like the beats

 

[grumpy_new_yorker]

is there anybody who thinks that sales = quality? like for real?

yeah there are plenty of people who think sales = quality [look on the silkk the shocker appreciation thread]

me, i am not one of them because the majority do not buy albums on integrity or the quality of the music. most people can not think on their own and let the media or their friends decide whats "cool"

really??? i don't see ONE artist that has quality beats + rhymes on the billboard 200.

 

[ThaChozenWun]

really??? i don't see ONE artist that has quality beats + rhymes on the billboard 200.

Because no one good dropped recently, the albums on there that are old are either re-releases, greatest hits, or because the artists is the mainstream king right now.

 

[just.might.b.ok]

well what if soulja boy went platium over dj premier beats, that would make him a good rapper or a good product?

 

[SoulRattler of Venom]

lol how are Jay and Em still selling albums? Like somebody really went this long without listening to BP3 and Relapse.

 

[ThaChozenWun]

well what if soulja boy went platium over dj premier beats, that would make him a good rapper or a good product?

To people like me and you no because we listen to a different style of hiphop but for hiphop as a whole yes, wether you want to admit it or not soulja boy is hiphop, hiphop consists of many different styles, Soulja Boy isnt a lyrical rapper, hes not a deep rapper, hes a club rapper. If Soulja boy made a album with DJ Premier yes he would sell good based on good product + beats. He does his job makes club records that people dance to. Like I said i think hes terrible and cant stand him but thats because people like you and I listen to a different style of hiphop. Id rather hear people like Mos and Lupe, but the audience for those arent as large as someone like Wayne or Soulja boy. If Mos Def even goes gold thats succesful for the brand that hes pushing, If wayne or Soulja boy do its not because the group they rely on has 10 times the fans some like mos def would.

 

[ThaChozenWun]

Some places in other countries may not get albums with the availability that we do, also people can be put on to other artists and go buy an album. Then it could be like alot of albums it takes a while for the album to grow on you, the first month I had BP3 downloaded I didnt really like it but it grew on me and now i like every track but reminder and just bought the album about 3 weeks ago.

imo, he'd be a good product and nothing else.

 

[ThaChozenWun]

imo, he'd be a good product and nothing else.

Well yea I ment he would be good product rather then a good rapper. Hes not close to being a decent rapper thats why I said beats play a bigger role than the artists most of the time. Thats where album sales to me equal quality at, if someone has a good ear for beats and can get people to dance on a track with him on it, then that would be good quality for that genre. If someone lyrical can make you listen despite the horrible beat selection thats quality, if someone not only can choose beats but can rap and format a song correctly thats great quality and will get you sales ex, Nelly, 50. Both can rap but are not very lyrical, yet both can format songs great and had great beat selection and both went 10x platinum off of it, anyone who says Country Grammer or In the Club wasnt getting played by them are lying.

all that shit happen and she's only at 750k?

 

[ThaChozenWun]

20 RIHANNA RATED R 20,968 -3 21,666 752,842

all that shit happen and she's only at 750k?

The only winner in all that was Trey Songz and Beyonce

 

[usmarin3]

These same niggas screaming sales don't equal quality, don't say nothing when you bring up the fact that The Chronic, Low End Theory,Ready to Die, Blueprint,Stillmatic, Illmatic,Reasonable Doubt, Life After death,etc all went platinum. Sales might not mean quality, but neither are underground quality albums who barely sold shit. The great albums generally have sold gold or platinum, deal with it. I bet you can't name a true classic that didn't have an impact or sell atleast gold.
