I'm having issues understanding this sales thing. Ice cube didn't sell very well, his single isn't blowing up, e-40 did good.., Cali iz active flopped, Just add water flopped, Trauma/Warren G/Mack 10 all did poorly. I can't invision a west coast album (other then Game/Dre/Snoop) ever going gold, ever again. Sales are so messed up these days, if 'Go to Church' doesn't blow up I have a hard time imagining what would.

The only thing you have to understand is , outside a few superstars (Jay, Em, 50, Kanye, Dre.. Snoop) and the South nobody has a chance to go platinum now.. nobody is sellin shit

Plenty of people are making good music but no one is making poppy enough albums to continue to sell outside of their lead single. The Gnarles Barkley CD is GREAT and had a very popular single but that won't even hit gold. Warren G's last album was a solid album but didn't do anything. Ice Cube's album is DOPE but it is not like he has 3-4 real pop type singles on there. The first two songs that came off that album were about color in america and speaking on why people in the inner city are thugs. That is a far cry from the Candy Shop's and lean wit it type songs.Again though, just because an album sells millions of records does not make it a good album. It makes the artist and label more rich but none of us see that money.
Fuck that fake ass crip Crip2nite. Gets on my nerves how some people on these forums
You guys wanted this album to flop, so you could throw it in any and everyones face, yet you all claim to be from Cali. I bet not even half the people on this forum even went out andBOUGHT the album. You had the luxury of hearing the album before it even offically dropped, but imagined if you didn't have that luxury and could only hear the album if you actually bought it or some one burned it for you like bacc in the day. There's only a few people going platinum theez days anyway, Cali ain't active becuz you niggaz don't want it to be active..Dipset loving muthafuccaz
