How did dude flop?? He's signed under Geffen not interscope or any of the other majors so he doesn't get the same promotion as some of his counter parts. He did his own promotion and he can sell 300k and make as much money as an artist who pushes 800-900k signed to a major deal cuz they have more to pay off and make less per record sold. Game doesn't get the same air time as a lot of others.

G-UNIT only pushed 96,000 forst week and that's made up of a multiplatinum rapper (50) banks who sold platinum first album nd yayo who sold 800,000....nd game alone sold over double of wut they did there first week...so ii consider that good...especially because he didn't have as much promotion as g unit did...it also just has to do w/ the fact that record sales are nowere near how they were a few yrs back...if game would of dropped lax in 04 or 05 he would hav still sold a good 500-700 forst week....but were in 08 everything is bad....I know lil wayne sold a mill the 1st week but that's problably the only time he will do that nd ii think wayne is dope don't get me wrong but he had mad promotion nd buzz...its a phase...game had his...50 did..kanye...wayne....a new rapper kums along every so often nd sells crazy records.
-
G-Unit did 102,000 records first week. And a group album is suppose to sell less than a solo artist. In the past 3 years only UGK sold more than G-Unit group wise. So if you wanna compare anything, compare LAX sales to Curtis first week sales. And G-Unit flopped as they should, since the album sucked. And how can you honestly say Game had less promotion ? He was all over MTV, BET, radio and magazine covers in the past few months. He had 2 high budget videos and 1 low budget before the album was released. G-Unit's only promotion was through thisis50.com, shit, the last 2 months, 50 wasn't even around to do interviews, too busy shooting a some movie in New Orleans. Both him and Jimmy probably knew that this was a mixtape turned into an album type of crap so I doubt much money was spent on T.O.S.

Gunit sux.

Gunits first album...went like 2 or 3 times platinum...so how are you sayin a group is supposed to sell less than a solo artist...nd we can compare it next time 50 comes out...not w/ curtis because this was a while back wen he droped that...and gunit was all over mtv also nd radio nd interviews...its sad especially because they are all supossed to be "platinum" selling artist....also bone thugs sold a lot of records back in the day they are a group...same w/ dem franchize boys/shop boyz/etc all those wack groups sold sum records...and incase you didn't know some of the biggest selling artist are groups not just hip hop but r&b and pop...country all that shit...b2k sold records...nsync [sadly]...jonas brothers [hahahaha]...I kno they are all wack but there groups son!
-
Out of G-Unit only 50 is suppose to be the platinum artists. Of course their first cd went 3x plat, 50 could fart on the cd back then and go multiplat. Now they sold like a normal group, they should even sold less, I can't believe the good people at Interscope gave clearance to release that piece of shit. And Curtis was released exactly a year ago, when rap was already in a shit hole and still managed to do 700.000 first week. Well, he's gonna release a new album in the 4th quarter anyways, we'll see how that turns out :)

bone thugs did 120k first week
plus the ugk joint was a double album (which both helps and hurts sales)
as far as g-unit vs game... just look at the budget for both albums. and the fact that one has fucking yayo on it. tos probably turned up more profit.
at the end of the day, though, I dont give a fuck about the sales. this stuff only matters when you're affiliated with the artist (as some people on here think they are) or if the sales might actually impact the future of their career. since game is taking a break from hip-hop after this album, I don't think that'll be a problem.

Major Label? Geffen is a major label, it's as major as it gets. GEFFEN IS A MAJOR LABEL. Holy crap, I can't deal with Game groupies anymore, they don't even know simple facts.
Game always out selling gunit
Except Game was on G-Unit when he sold 2x platinum on the Doc. DA didn't outsell Bank's first album, it hardly went platinum in the US. BFM sold like 2-3 million in the US. Sure if you do random combinations of G-Unit's solo projects, Game has sold more, counting The Doc, which 50 wrote most of. But since that, Game hasn't sold anything close to 50, or anything close to his first album. G-Unit has sold millions more albums then Game has in the last 5 years, simple, undeniable fact.

lol at anyone actin like this flopped...the haters will hate ::)
Meho: as stated Bone Thugs outsold G-Unit on their last album as did UGK, and oh, USDA as well.

It didn't flop, but neither did Curtis. If Game's album doesn't go platinum in the US over it's entire run, it'll be considered a flop. Not to mention the poor quality of the entire album on every track. Terrible artist, mediocre sales. Let's hope this guy retires so we don't need to listen to his bullshit name dropping.

I never said Curtis flopped. Curtis did what every other big album does now a days (the issue here is 50 used to be ahead of the pack, now he's tied/behind Lil Wayne, T.I., Jeezy, Ludacris). since 2006, Curtis has outsold once by T.I., tied once with T.I., outsold by Jeezy and Luda once, outsold by Wayne etc. Plus Jeezy put out a group album (on KOCH) that went gold which 50 couldn't do on a major.

that's first week; USDA had better 2nd/3rd/4th weeks and so on. I know this because I know for a fact USDA sold over 500K and was certified Gold; something Gunit wont do.

I will take it slow for u so u can understand. Geffen is not major compared to the Def Jams and Interscopes. Before game even signed to 'em, most people have never even heard of geffen. The proof is in the internet forums where so many said he was done cause they had never even heard of it. Geffen doesn't put as much money into records as an intercope because they don't have that kinda power. Game mostly sells record based off of name. DA didn't outsell Banks first album, but Documentary did and DA outsold Banks, Yayo and Buck's 2nd albums (Yayo's first) combined and is certified platinum. BFM sold 2-3 million and the Documentary surpassed that. So just his first two albums alone outsold both Unit albums.
-
LAX debuted at #1 thats all that matters in todays environment for cd sales. Btw, he had minimal promotion for this cd.

Hmm, so you're saying Geffen isn't considered a major label? They're considered 1/3rd of the Universal Music Group big three labels along with Interscope and A&M Records, so how is that not considered a major label?
Also, Geffen has been around since the 70's and went through various label acquisitions and has since been under the UMG umbrella with Interscope and A&M as the "Big 3". So you're wrong in thinking that nobody knows about them.
Ever heard of John Lennon? He released albums @ Geffen. Nirvana? They did too, and the list goes on.

Not to mention Furtado, Common and others all going platinum multiple times in the last 2 years. It isn't the biggest label, but that has nothing to do with promotion. TOS hardly got any promotion, it flopped. Game has huge promotion, and HUGE production. Game's album budgets are huge, not something a minor label could even afford. Sales aren't everything, profit is. DA and LAX are probably losing the company millions, huge album budgets, huge name producers and features, and lower then expected sales.

^just like Curtis lost a shit load of money. =
Who the hell knows, either way, it used mostly lesser known producers, and few features, and it sold 2 million world wide. This Game album won't make a cent with who he put on it. Game is the typical rapper these days, get a bunch of big name producers, get a bunch of features, and cookie cutter the album together. It's a shitty product, just like Curtis was.

LOL u act like everyone on the game album was HUGE names production wise. Ervin "EP" Pope did 4 beats and those probably all came at a very low price. Jelly Roll did one beat and i'm sure he's not that expensive either. 1500 Or Nothin' did 2 beats and i'm sure they don't charge a lot either. Knobody & Dahoud did a beat and I got no idea who that is; no way they charge much. Ice Cube probably wasn't paid (favor for a favor as Game was on Cube album). No diss, but I doubt Raekwon charges that much. Bilal, Chrisette Michelle, Raheem Devaughn, Latoiya Williams are probably all relatively cheap themselves. The rest (Nas, wayne, Common, Kanye, Luda, Nottz, Storch, Rotem, Ne-Yo i'm sure we're paid quite a bit).
50 had Akon, Dre, Timberlake, Timbaland, Robin Thicke, Eminem, Nicole Scherzinger and Mary J Blige which i'm sure all got paid a lot. Not to mention the SIX high budget videos he put out on BET/MTV.

Not as big a flop as G-Unit or Curtis.
-
This wasnt no flop, it was weaker then expected but still decent. I thought he would do 300-400k first week. But this aint bad either, def not a flop!!!
-
That means Game is the second best rap seller this year right?
1) Lil Wayne - A Milli
2) The Game - 222k
3) Plies - 210k
-
All this talk about the sales and flops, and for what? Oh yeah, a little healthy arguing.
-
Yep it's sad how the internet and downloading for free has ruined music sales. . .
lol if you really think that album sales dropped purely due to downloading then you're being ignorant :P
Well, he's gonna release a new album in the 4th quarter anyways, we'll see how that turns out :)
where did you get that from? not from 50 cent himself right? :P
-
THE NIGGA FLOPPED ,MAYBE IF HE HAD 75 GUESTS HE WOULD HAVE SOLD A MILL FIRST WEEK
BUT I MUST SAY THIS IS A MAJOR FLOP AND AFTER LISTENING TO THE ALBUM I SEE WHY IT FLOPPED ,ITS TRASH

I totally agree. I very rarely hate on shit here or bitch about rappers or releases, but listening to this album yet again on the way to work today I was struck by how really bad most of it is. When it's good - "Angel", "Let us Live" - it's great. But the vast majority is just awful, generic, commercial-sounding rap music (that's rap music, not hip-hop). I loved the guy's first two albums, but he's made no progression with the third. A real disappointment. I couldn't recommend anyone spending £10 on this - I feel bad enough that I did.
-
lmao this is ridiculous....people STILL compare Game vs G-Unit??? let it go G-UNit stans...Game left 3 year sago...he aint comin back!
what about the fact that Game sold the most records on the Westcoast?????
what about only Wayne sold more the first week thus far.
lmao its 08 and people STILL compare G-unit vs Game..let it fuckin go g-unit dickriders.
Game is a better RAPPER than all them G-Unit niggaz...them sellin more dont mean SHIT...everybody knows that 50 got a bigger fanbase than Game..nobody said anything different..
haah this is pathetic.
Snoop did 100k...Nas did less than Game nrs....Plies less than Game...etc etc and nobody said anything aout that....but Game NOT sellin AS MUCH as G-Unit even though he left 3 years ago and that shit BEEN DEAD people STILL wanna have this mentality that everything G-Unit or Game does have to be compared to the other.
Lord Funk: well duuuh what do u expect Game is a mainstream artist he's not a underground rapper. His 1st album was just as commercial as this one stop jumpin on the bandwagon. Cuz i remember the same people now that some how loves The Documentary now hated it before LAX came out.
And Game said a long time ago that this album would have a universal sound to it and not strictly westcoast.
LAX > DA people just jumpin on the bandwagon.
S.O.E., Bulletproof Diaries, My Life, Angel, Letter To The King etc how was does tracks "wack"? again, its the bandwagon.
And who cares about King Of Mitt bla bla...hes the same dude who said TOS was the album of the year and that wrote a whole essay about people not likin G-Unit but syet somehow he says that Game, Crooked I, Ya Boy, Jay Rock etc are garbage :laugh:
-
at the end of the day, though, I dont give a fuck about the sales. this stuff only matters when you're affiliated with the artist (as some people on here think they are) or if the sales might actually impact the future of their career. since game is taking a break from hip-hop after this album, I don't think that'll be a problem.
YUP! Not even anyone who works @ Dubcnn should give a fuck, since the artists aren't paying them.
-
Also, keep in mind that 50 does more commercial sing song music for mainstream. Game does more commercial gangsta rap. A lot of these rappers like 50 save the gangsta rap style for their mixtapes as most Unit fans will let you know. I think Game would of been a top seller back in the mid 90's.
-
Game sold 3 million with DA worldwide. That was huge. 3 number one albums is a flop? He made the list in FORBES top ten earning 10 million in 2007. That's huge. His fanbase is huge, every concert is sold out in Europe. Remember when G-Unit fans said, that he won't sell 200K with DA? Where y'all at? You are just hating, that's the problem.
LAX = best album in 08 so far.
HATERS KEEP HATING, fuckin faggots.
And my personal opinion is: FUCK THE SALES! one of my favorite groups only sold 1 million with 4 albums, should I stop listening to them? NO, the music matters, nothing else.
-
By The Way... for those who are interested, it sold 13 copies more than slip knooott
hahaha that's funny
OFFICIAL BILLBOARD NUMBERS IN - GAME GETS #1 BY 13 ALBUMS
1 GEFN 1 GAME LAX 238,285 999 770 239,057
1 ROAD 2 SLIPKNOT ALL HOPE IS GONE 238,272 999 925 239,213
-
All the singles failed, the album was a big step down from the finesse of his previous albums , so I'm not very surprised of low sales in the States.

Not that it matters, like you said but where did you get that DA sold 3 mill worlwide ? According to this site http://www.worldwidealbums.net/2006.htm he did 1.485.640, which is a lot more realistic.

^^Realest words being spoken on this whole LAX discussion.
-
Game will never sale over 500k in the US. Album downloads, bad singles and the biggest is EVEN THOUGH WE HATE TO ADMIT IT THERE ARE TOO MANY 50 STANS. They are so loyal to 50 that they will NEVER, EVER buy a Game album. With over a milli worldwide I consider this a step forward. I wonder what the numbers are with including online downloads (that were paid for).
-
this is a big time flop for him. All i know is he will be lucky to sell 100,000 this week so yall do the math.
Not as big a flop as G-Unit or Curtis.
curtis was not a flopp idiot. curtis went platinum & has solkd twice as much its first day then GAMES LAX did .LAX was bigger flop then curtis because curtis outsold LAX by miles. so you have just got made to look like the idiot you are
-
LBF I see you bitch...dont make me expose you.
nas untitled > game LAX

How did dude flop?? He's signed under Geffen not interscope or any of the other majors so he doesn't get the same promotion as some of his counter parts. He did his own promotion and he can sell 300k and make as much money as an artist who pushes 800-900k signed to a major deal cuz they have more to pay off and make less per record sold. Game doesn't get the same air time as a lot of others.
Geffen is a major label and Game is probably the biggest artist on there. I don't know where you get your information from but you're seriously twisting the facts around. You're making it seem like he's an independent artist. Geffen put a lot of money into his project. I would hesitate to call the album a flop because I really don't know the exact numbers involved but "Game's Pain" got a lot of radio play across the country and was on MTV/VH1. Again, no idea where you come with this "Game did his own promotion" story but if you think MTV played the video because Game showed up on TRL with the video under his arm then you are naive. Ditto for radio.
-
I don't give a fuck about sales. Selling 200k plus your first week isn't even bad anyways, no it's probably not what Game wanted but honestly do you guys really care enough to make that big of a deal out of it? He put together a dope ass cd, i'd still bump it if it sold 200 copies the first week.
-
LAX Sold Out in stores in Vancouver. I think Geffen dropped the ball here. But, Game still the second highest selling rapper this year.
-
I'm sure Game wanted it to sell more the first week out but those numbers still aren't bad. Geffen really didn't promote the album (as with his previous ones). I was surprised that he didn't hit 300k but I thought the album was dope and that's all that matters to me. Plus, it's good look for the West because nobody is going to be pushing those kind of numbers anytime soon.
-
Its not good bit it isnt bad either.
Lol the Sales are down everywhere, the Music Industry is fucked upo big time.
Its a sas day for the Westcoas!
LEts think about it: If Game cant push 300 plus on his last Album, with a Top 20 Single, With actually 3 singles which get a lot of airplay everywhere on bet/mtv, radio Stations.... What you think a Glasses, J-Rock, Spider, Lil E, Ya Boy or a Bishop will sell? They actually wont get deals from major labels and wont get release dates.
Its really bad.
-
that CD is bangin. i like it better then his 2nd album so far
-
sux that this album didnt open up first week as strong as DOC or DA, DA had a bit more sales from what i remember.... but like people said on ealier posts the industry is messed up its tough to sell alot of albums with leaks on the internet
-
222k is good, but I hoped for little bit more...I cant understand what Carter III did, every Lil Wayne fan had to bought 5 copies or I dont know
-
who cares. sales/numbers/amounts dont affect on quality of an album.
just fo example. c-bo and killa tay - moment of truth
-

Wayne just hustled his off ass. For over a year, he was on everybody and their momma's albums and singles.
-
LOL at yall sales dont matter and making excuses when your favorites dont sell the amount of records you thought they were.
-
222k is good, but I hoped for little bit more...I cant understand what Carter III did, every Lil Wayne fan had to bought 5 copies or I dont know
I think Cash Money bought a lot of them shits. Come on aint nody (unless Detox drops) sellin a milli in one week. That even goes for 50.

games albums are nothing special anyway he only has a few real bangers but nothing like all eyez on me or the chronic
-

word that album is crack. anyways since when is selling 200k + a flop?????? when all ya'll favorite wack ass rappers drop albums [plies etc.] and they push 100k everybody be talking: he did 100k first week, thats crazy! half yall dudes on this forum be talkin about how 500k should be the new platinum and how 250k should be the new gold lol, i guess hate really confuses people. LAX=best album of 2008.
