We gotta stop judging Hip-Hop by the pop charts. Remember what Tribe told Hammer "Rap is not pop, if you call it that then stop"

Remember what Tribe told Hammer "Rap is not pop, if you call it that then stop"The problem with that is that the law of diminishing returns = less money to make better albums in the future.
"Straight outta Compton" only cost $12,000 to make. That's probably $30,000 in todays money.
Daz you almost have to treat him like a "new" artist. He has to be reintroduced to the market because I guarantee you the average consumer would only remember Daz from DPG or All Eyez On Me.
Fuck that fake ass crip Crip2nite. Gets on my nerves how some people on these forums
I mean what logical person expected this album to push more than 40k it's first couple of weeks out...
But it really dont take a grip to make a classic. "Straight outta Compton" only cost $12,000 to make. That's probably $30,000 in todays money. Sometimes they lace you with alot of dough to have your soul. Chappelle did'nt fall for the oki-doke.
All them numbers mean is all the niggaz is bumpin his shit becuz the streets is lovin it right now but the white folks aint on it yet .
more proof that rap fans are tired of the same old west coast shit....time to step aside and bring something new to the table
thats bad numbers but fuck soundscan any way another dope album not promoted or accepted in the mainstream while were on flops have u seen how many flops theres been in the last few months as well as daz theres Dmx , Chingy , Lupe Fiasco , Method Man , The Roots , Outkast ( im sayin these because there just goin to scrape gold and they normally sell millions) , busta goin gold despite multi million promotion , christina millian , obie trice , cam'ron and theres loads more
