Snoop Dogg Sells 50K First Week

[KrazySumwhat]

 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.

Lol @ blaming sales. Yes sales are down, but rappers are still selling albums. Em, Jay-Z, Wayne, Kanye etc are all going platinum. Snoop can't even go gold anymore.

[ironmike]

well if its any consolation, the david guetta house remix of wet/sweat is doing real big in australia.

on the australian top 50 singles chart, the remix is no.2 on the charts

Not in the same way. Snoops a rapper who also does pop/dance/country/soul whatever..and acts..does the lot.

Dudes like Wayne and Kanye dont make street music..that nuts in yo mouth, fuck a bitch shit.

[Darkwing Duck (The Reincarnation)]

i disagree.
Snoop is definitely a pop-rapper.
and Weezy can make street-music too

Yeah ok i agree with everything below , but how is this possible at day 31 03 when i checked in 3 big music stores in my country there was no Doggumentary.  

What is this ? poor merchandising or how is called , how they expect to sell worldwide ? or they want to be only local or internet order.

Sorry yes. 18 04

[Dre-Day]

same sales almost as his last album

I dont think the internet had anything to do with it

I think it does.


Costs are cut on promoting an album that will 'leak anyway'.

Knock on is people outside of those who will download it anyway don't get a taste for the album...

come on now, his popularity peaked a long time ago.

besides, if it wasn't for the internet, a lot of people wouldn't know about this album

Exactly my point.

you said people don't wanna pay for music, that's not true.
