DJ Quik - The Midnight Life (Discussion Thread)

[MOBNigga06]

Anyone know what the first week sales of the album are?

It obviously won't be very high, considering that even rappers with platinum singles nowadays do first week album sales of around 7,000 units (like Sage the Gemini).

Hope the Quikster sells enough of this record to earn back what he put into it. That should encourage him to do it equally big for his tenth album.

Game only did like 20K so I can't imagine this breaking 5-8K

fuck it, I copped both

Man the beat to "That Getter" is so fuckin cold. This is a typical Quik mistake, he waisted that beat, should've passed that a commercial artist instead of letting his son show us that talent is not hereditary.

The album cover looks genric and cheap . Quik fell off . Let's wait and see what MC Eiht's new album Which Way Iz West sounds like .

The reason the cover is like that is because quick said his looking at the city as if its a big toilet/sewer.

the album art looks much better when you have the actual CD in hand as opposed to seeing it online lol but I agree to an extent

Quik sold 5.000 units...these muthafuckers only consider itunes, amazon, best buy..

Quik sold at least more 10.000 units in California small stores...fyi..amoeba..and etc..


FINAL BILLBOARD NUMBERS...(doubtful) but the info is here...

DJ Quik - Midnight Life = 5100 units.

Billboard 200 - #63
Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums - #11
Top Rap Albums - #7
Independent Albums - #11
Tastemakers - #9

Virtually the same positions of The Book of David, but less units sold...

The industry is fucked up...no one got platinum this year...in 20years records sales will end.
