Jay Rocks Follow Me Home debuts at No.83 with 5,300 sold

[Dikteta Dax]

That's crazy that Dom Kennedy and Kendrick sold more then jay rock the first week.  Those sales would be cool of the album was sold like Dom or kendricks albums which seemed more like some do it yourself shit.  But on a label like strange, with a good distro deal, billboards, etc that's not a real good look.  The album is dope though.

The West is back, my niggas. We all eating!

With 5,300 sales during the first week?

I'm joking. That's fucking terrible. This is why people on here look retarded when they try to act like the Death Row days of the West will ever come back.

would have been worse had it not been for the backing of strange..

nobody is selling much music which is why smaller, hell any artists, need to make the biggest cut possible from their own sales.

He's with strange so he will keep selling through touring etc. Dope album so I'm glad I copped

yeh there is a lot more moula to be made from touring and artists having a big cut of the live revenues.

The album is knot and I hope they keep pushing it, but the sales ain't good, and it's crazy how people are acting like it almost went gold! Yall must forgot about that wayne and ross feature, and not  even from the money aspect, but from the fact those equals didn't draw more attention to the product. The public today are into swag and personality more than actual content, you need that shit to get the record buyers into yo shit yell

[Bch]

can i ask yall this, are people who used to buy gangsta rap, still buying gangsta rap today?


imo, seems like that core demographic audience found out how to download music instead of running over to the local store and picking it up.


i believe in the hardwork jayrock put in, grindin going over to meetings to get an album out etc. but when you have the new boyz outselling you, yg with the club banger, cali swag district. The type of music to make nowadays (if you plan on makin a livin in what i think is a lousy business) imo is catchy dance music. Jayrock can still cake it up off of shows and what not but dam todays market for hood rap. Shame on you hip hop

 all those acts got a personality that these new fans feel, jay rocc  is raw straight no chaser, he don't put on a act like say a william roberts or a game with his antics. We are in the act a fool age of entertainment yell

And this is what you get for replacing Kendrick Lamar with Will.i.am on "All Of My Life".

Dumbest post I've read on here in a while.

Anyway, if you look at stranges discography all of them have weak first week sales. They make their money off touring and slow but steady sales

Follow me home was a weak albm though . i tried to like it but it just fails to impress .

feel you box, but in games case he was riding 50 cents wave, and a cosign with Dr Dre at a very special time in hip hop. 50 had all the minds and hearts of many. Game would've never made it with JT the bigga figga. Jay rock shouldn't have to jump off the watts towers with a parachute to sell albums, but he might have to get back with those pay a fee plus shippin and handlin to gang bang bloods from the south

[RedMagic213]

thats terrible sales, but guess wat...I DONT GIVE A FUCK...i got my copy, much respect to any new westcoast artist dropping an album. ill support all the way

[BlueSwan]

Bad Meets Evil still under 400k?? I guess it will keep selling well with "Lighters" blowing up though, so platinum is still not totally out of the question, although it's gonna be tough.
