Still no rap albums even acheiving gold status this year.

[MIAMI4LIFE]

Still no rap albums even acheiving gold status this year.

its funny Cube came out around this time last year and sold 140-150k 1st week and eventually went gold, I think Buck had around the same first week sales but it doesn't look like he's gonna make it much past 400k, even with high debut weeks alot of these albums don't have the staying power to go Gold and Plat anymore

Yeah it is kind of sad the numbers but out of all the genres of music, hip hop is the most bootlegged, criticized and it is still the most popular. People are just burning it or leaving it alone. R&B has had a rebirth though. Alot of platinum and gold albums on the charts.

[westside159]
