[d-nice]

Oh boy, now the haters are going to come in and say it's over for X. For today standards and the fact he is on Koch, that is not bad. Not great either but not bad.

[No Compute]

To say it's not bad is an understatement, I knew that the numbers would be low but that low is laughable.

[d-nice]

I don't know anymore what is good and bad. Really not alot of promotion for the album other than a Letterman appearance and what you see on the internet.

[Eddie G.]

damn thats bad, even hi-tek did better than him, and he's coming out real independently.  I mean really what do you expect though, Concentrate isn't really making any noise as a single.

[Lil Jay]

To say it's not bad is an understatement, I knew that the numbers would be low but that low is laughable.

Yeah man, that's hella low. I dont get it, I mean the promo wasnt all that, but he's on tour, he has a video on rotation, performed on shows like Jimmy Kimmel and Letterman but it still aint doing shit. Koch is a major indie, so he should be able to sell at least 80K

[Kalonjii]

That's 160,000$ straight down his pockets, prolly more than most Interscope rappers get by going triple platinum lol.

[Brazemac]

that concentrate song ain't goin home at all. My friend told me the other day that he really thought the album was gonna be like that song so he didn't even look for it. He said that song was the worse song he has ever heard. haha

[CHUCK KNOXXX]

on a side note, props to hi tek for doing sum incredible #'s on babygrande.........

[d-nice]

The music industry is in BAD shape right now. Major labels are trimming the fat and only rollin with what is hot. So when that dies off they start all over again. I am a little surprised by the numbers for X and alot of other artists for that matter.

[MontrealCity's Most]

I don't know anymore what is good and bad. Really not alot of promotion for the album other than a Letterman appearance and what you see on the internet.

The internet kills music

[SGV]

You can't blame it on Koch. Since it's a Major Independent the artist NEEDS runs the show (for the most part). Xzibit just chose a bad first single.

[d-nice]

The internet kills music

True that. But outlets like Dubcnn, allhiphop, and others do help.

[Lunatic]

Damn. Y'all know I love X, I ain't no hater, but I am a little suprised by the #s...They are very low. Isn't that lower then what Daz did? I hope that X don't be on some "Fuck the industry, I ain't making no more music" and shit. Aww well, hot album. I honestly thought 30,000 would be his minimum. Between that & 50,000. Whoever said 80,000, that would of been a complete shock 2 me. What bothers me is even when X makes a bitch track that he thinks will catch on, it don't. Yet, Jibbs will prolly sell thru the roof.
