Why didn't Life Is Good go Gold?

[Kwan Dai]

Why does it matter how many units he moved? The Album is cold from top to bottom.

 

[a_list]

Yea, really didnt have that hit, but shyt almost 20 years after a debut to still be making noise is saying something....dope album nonetheless....,,

 

[chompollet]

yeah it doesnt mater at all but this album deserve go plat shit was goat

 

[RichPorterOfTheIC]

cause it was boring and severely lacked replay value

 

[Lab Baby]

He did put out Cherry Wine as a single! He should sent "Summer on Smash" to radio as a single though!! HE coulda left Accident Murderers on the album.

It didn't get the push it was supposed to tho. I myself just found out it was a single. I heard Daughters (which is a great single for those saying he can't pick singles, and the reason he did that big first week number) on the radio more than this joint. Like I said, after it dropped, the promotion just died.

nas doe lmao

Not to hurt feelings, but it garnered next to no interest outside the internet and hardcore fans. Internet hype means nothing next to the stuff popular in the everyday world. That said, he has his place and there's nothing wrong with that.

Nigga STFU .. LOL

Like its only HipHop bloggers that use the "internet"

And why this @Neva_Change nigga only pop up in Nas' threads?

Naw but it was after the album dropped and it got like zero promotion as a single. He should have dropped Cherry Wine in place of The Don or maybe even Daughters. I would have did it like this:

1. Nasty

2. Cherry Wine

3. You wouldn't understand/Daughters

(2 and 3 are really interchangeable)

 

[Built 4 cuban linx]

still don't understand how he had more people attend his concert than buy his album. that goes for any artist.

 

[AZTG]

hip hop heads don't buy albums. ask dudes who their top 10 is and all you hear is "maaan I listen to real hip hop, I fucks with rakim kool g rap bdk krs biggie pac nas jay" but then ask them the last album they bought and all you hear is "uuuhhhhh"

 

[its....JOHN B]

He drops singles and radio dj's and MTV/BET barely play them shits, plus I agree that he chose the wrong singles, Cherry Wine had hit written all over

 

[StoneColdMikey]

It will go gold...

 

[dakidfrankie]

because nas fan are only good for talking about jayz and that don't buy albums...

 

[PiffyHaze]

Bc he didn't sell 500,000 copies hoe

Yeah yeah. I knew id get some "backlash" but it is what it is. Haha

 

[R.D.]

Americans are more conscious of their health today

Betweens DUIs and driving while texting/talking....we dont need more people falling asleep behind the wheel

 

[SneakDZA]

cuz i downloaded that shit - i already got my own back taxes to pay i can't be paying nas' too.

plus kelis might use the change to put out more music and nobody wants to finance that shit.

classic album though. i bought illmatic 3 times so i feel no guilt.

 

[ohhhla]

I'm still wondering too.

 

[Disciplined InSight]

Because he's a rebel to America?
