I just want to throw out there that there was a debate (maybe have been on DBA) that Snoop Dogg was as/more popular than Eminem.

Recovery sold 500,000 first week? Maybe more. Ten times more albums sold & that was an actual debate?

I wonder who I'm talking to sometimes lol.

even Snoop in his prime was not as popular as Eminem in his prime

 Doggystyle sold 750 000 first week i believe?

 Anyhow, wow. i wonder if it will even sell 100k?
 This must be his worst selling album ever then?
 Even "cali iz active' sold more?? (90 000 if i remember?)

Drake sold a million and bragged about it on his music so you can still do numbers.....Snoop is still the man I don't care what anyone says..."Boom" is a dope track!  Yes album sales DO matter because it indicates a combination of popularity and album quality...but tell me does anyone else do it like the 1990's West crew with Snoop, E-40, Too Short, and Ice Cube still makin music today and 40 is doin damn good for the times he has a hit here and there and so does Short and Snoop and Cube is still dope.   I don't care what anyone says, look at the longevity of the 1990's Big 4 -- Snoop, Too Short, E-40, and Ice Cube -- the 2000's West doesn't touch that longevity

Albums sales doesn't equate to popularity. Snoop is a household name, Wiz Khalifa is not.

You'd be surprised, I would agree with you 95% but these 16-22 crowd comin up now looks at Snoop as an icon for marijuana/movie star/clown rather than the man who was huge on "Chronic" and outsold everyone with "Doggystyle" and ran the rap game... Wiz had a couple nice singles like "Black and Yellow" (I prefer "Purp and Yellow" with Snoop & Game) and "Yeah" so he's doin his thing when every damn stadium is playin that "Black and Yellow" remixed to their city

When i was growing up me and my mates all collected cds. Kids these days do not. Most dont buy ANY albums. of course the internet comes into play, 9/10 people download albums, same with tv shows, anime, movies , etc.
 I bet at least a million people downloaded Snoops album and prolly thousands just got the one person they know who purchased it to burn it for them.
 Iam the only person i know who bought it and i've had requests to burn it for peopel and my other mates just all downloaded it.
 Sweat gets radio play here also but its some gay techno remix it seems?
 But yeah Snoop aint had a big hit since "drop it like its hot' so no surprise he aint selling well.
 
 

Word....  I got to be honest, in so many ways the digital media has fucked up hip-hop and it definitely affects record sales.  In the golden ages of hip-hop like the 80's and 90's there word of mouth really carried the industry and brought people together in hip-hop and propelled artists to the top.  Now there is no word of mouth and record sales are all fucked up.   

I mean, the good part about it is we have so much more music to listen to now, but the quality of music has deteriorated drastically because of it and artists are getting ripped off.

Piracy existed in the early 90's more, and a hell of a lot easier when people were able to tape direct from CD's onto their cassette tapes.. People would wait and listen to tape the hit songs off the radio's, and made more effort to sit around and wait.... CD burners came out, and everyone knew of at least 5 different people locally who had lists and lists of the top 40 albums, and others by artist or genre for a couple of $/£... If anything the internet's made it much more difficult to actually download an album successfully - for the average common person, they don't know where to look, how to download etc.. The other 'earlier' options were far easier

People just need to quit buying into this internet affect sales BS... An industry cop out, for making cheap watered down trash, and looking for blame when it doesn't recoup their $2 budget they used to make the damn thing

its a fact...taping songs off the radio and having the cd quality rip are two different things....

[V2DHeart]

People overly concerned on the fine credentials of CDQ compared to tape quality are your more avid music fans more likely to make a purchase of an album they have on blank disc somewhere.

If artists and groups in 2008 onwards (who aren't even music veterans) can sell 7/8/9 million units, that's evidence in itself that this "internet affects sales" excuse isn't entirely accurate. The ones on the shortfall are those same veterans who have declined in quality over the years selling less and less, and those who are talented, creative, and making hot product but not getting the powerful promotional budgets as some of these less worthy, and less talented people and aren't getting heard by as many people

[Dre-Day]

as if people would be running to the stores to buy the new album if there was no internet

[love33]

I don't think it's the "cd burning" as much as it is the market being oversatured.  There's rap music EVERYWHERE if you look.  Artists drop mixtapes left and right, old artists still dropping music, new artists dropping music, etc.  You can go online and find the newest songs from Spice 1, E-40, then Kane & Abel are still makin music from No Limit, then you want to hear LBC Crew, then you want to hear Red Cafe's new track with Omarion, then you checkout jay-z's newest feature, is Jada still around yeah he just made some new hits, Do Or Die got some new music? then you go listen to classics, lets bump nate dogg and daz "these days".....see what im sayin soo much music comes out everyday now it's diff then in the 1990's when you had 20 artists doin the videos on mtv and that's what people all listened to and bought...now you got music music music and we get to pick what we want where before mtv and radio decided what was cool and rap was just new in the early 90's so there wasn't as much....st louis had no rap game in the early 90's and then by the late 90's they had nelly, willie, st lunatics....atlanta blewup huge and grew its own crunk....louisiana with cash money and no limit.....chi town.....and on and on every region grew its own sound and artists and it was no longer just 'east vs. west'....
