[MeekMonizzLLLLLLe14]

ace hood floppin floppin floppin HARD lol i told niggas aint nobody checking for his same song he rewrites 12 times

 

[antarticp]

if hip hop was dying u would see everyone doing bad numbers ... including jayz/ye, drake, nicki etc ... in my opinion it just goes to show people still respect good music that home cook meal type of music .... vs that microwaved fast food shit ie gucci/waka, ace hood (altho i respect his talents he does mircrowave his music too), dj khaled, big sean, rick ross, jadakiss etc......................... put more effort and focus on what your doing and put it out like its your last !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

alot of the others still have time to grow to see if its really just the music or the promo behind it .... ie Big Sean, Kendrick Lamar etc....

im surprised to see that em/royce project do such low numbers ... havent really heard any music from that cd so it maybe be a test to how good the album really is ... cause em can sell shit on a stick lol see the RE-UP lol

and that is the greatest thing about this era of hip hop. Sales are down from the 90's in every genre but the quality projects still get better sales then the plastic ones. People are not fooled by the cliche forced projects anymore like ace hoods same lame style or DJ Khaleds force fed cliche topics and so on. People think they can sell an album based on a name alone and that doesn't work anymore. Even look at waynes last 2 projects who did below average sales for waynes expectations. Same think with khaleds last 2 projects that are the lame same song.

 

[DetroitBoi313]

Fans are only buying albums if they can connect with the artist's music. That's why Jay-z, Kanye, Nicki, Eminem, Drake, Wayne Big Sean, Wiz, are still selling records right now.

 

[MeekMonizzLLLLLLe14]

A lot of ppl not goin pay for shit that they can get for free. White or Black. If niggaz could download Ready To Die for free online without having to go outside and find some nigga sellin a bootleg for $5, they would.

and honestly buying an album is like going to see a football game live. You do less for your team/nfl by being at a game than if you watch it on TV. TV commercial revenue > ticket sales revenue. Its kinda the same with purchasing albums. You give less money to the artists through album sales then you do if you watch their reality show, go to their concert, purchase a product they sponsor etc. Depending on their deal that is not always the case but for the most part it is more valueable to an artist to do things outside of purchasing their album.

its def good news bro ... the funny thing is im wondering why these other jokers still get jobs @ retail lol .... they must be making alot of money on the side for themselves lol ... i mean who is literally sitting in an meeting looking to market and promote a nation wide album and projecting to do less than30k in sales ????? lol ijs lol ... ie if jim jones gets to drop another album i think imma really get on this hip hop shit cause they just giving they money away to anyone who is willing to WORK lol ....

Wayne Kanye etc appeal to a broader audience not just hardcore online types who know where to download, but the whole hood and military etc
