Why do sales matter so much?

[the_truth]

LOL@ these snoop fans saying all in a sudden sales don't matter just because Snoop label isn't sellin. Typical Snoop groupies who always act like hyprocrites and change things up when the shoe is on Snoop foot.

That's a simplistic interpretation of the 'sales don't matter' comments. The point's basically that an album's quality don't depend on how it sells and that's rite, only u might not get to hear a new album when the last one didn't sell

I understand that,I am trying to rub it in the Snoop groupie faces. They use to make funof artist sales who got beef with thy idol Snoop. But now since its Snoop sales dont matter now.

Yeah, that's dickridin and Snoop's got a lot of dickriders, only I think this topic wasn't started by a Snoop dickrider, even with Doggystyle Allstars bein the most current example for an album that was supposed to sell much better. People who really made fun of rappers Snoop had beef with not sellin should better shut up now, that's rite

With this embarrassing debut,i think the doggystyle all stars
haven't enough exposure to go out with solo albums.
In my opinion,would be a good move to drop an EP before the album release,to test the public's response.
For example....an e-white solo album will be tight for sure but honestly,how many copies he can sell ? ? ? 10/15.000 ?
To me,its better drop an EP before the solo releases....
WHAT DO Y'ALL THINK ?

if sales dont mean shit than why do so many snoop fans still run to tha fact that snoops solo albums go 2x platnium

Seriously yall... if I have Snoop's album and it sells one copy... then I got that copy and that's all I care about. Look at Kam... he's one of my favorite artists and he doesn't sell shit and probably wont... i guess sales matter for this... artists want to get paid money... and they get paid when their albums sell... when their albums don't sell, they are left trying to make money other ways... with movies, dvd releases, girls gone wild videos   , hosting halloween shows as count blackula.... I mean if Doggystyle all stars starts to sell, they'll have the money to put out another single...MCA puts down a lot of green to get the album out, the video out, the site up, the ads up... the promotional tour... and everything...with another single out, that's more exposure, but if don't play that video... what can we say? Is it the artists fault... I mean MTV and BET should respect the message artists want to put out and play the video whether it's commercial music or not....i dont hear that shit on the radio... also... if doggystyle all stars sells shit loads... then kokane, e white and latoiya and soopafly can expect to sell more... know what im saying

The promotional tour was in the wrong period!
June  
The album release date was august 13th and they went out for a promotional tour in june

Yo, Im not tryin to take up Snoop and Doggystyle Records but I think tha lack of sales is that their is not much air time for them!!! I still havent seen tha video for this album or heard it much on tha radio!!! I seen a couple of commercials for it b4 it dropped and some ads in tha hip-hop mags but thats it!! I think they need to put out a top notch single from tha album that will get mainstream play and will appeal to all audiences!! I think that "Hey You" would be perfect as a single!! Its got that appeal for RnB and Hip-hop!!! Wit Snoop, E. White, Soopafly they all can get some exposure and then it would help their solo albums later on!!!
