Ice Cube Only Going To Move 65k First Week

[Allpaul]

65k is a bust for someone like Ice Cube.  I mean, cmon man, he's ICE CUBE.  This was his own fault.  This is what he gets for not putting Kanye West, T-Pain, Akon, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Fat Joe, Chris Brown, Nas, and DJ Khaled on his album.  I mean, cmon man, The Game knows the business and he collabs with the top cats in the business like I just named off.  This is why he moves units and debuts at #1 with his first two records.  And a lot of people are giving 65k a free pass saying "it's indy."  That's just an excuse.  If he sold 150k his first week people would be saying "He sold 150k and IT WAS ON AN INDY."  People are giving Cube a free pass like the media gives Brett Favre a free pass with his all-time interception record.  Cube messed up big time with this one and it's an embarrassment to his album catalog.  We all know he can do way better than this and if all the current artists like Nas, The Game, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, all work together, then why can't Cube get with the program instead of wasting his time with small timers -- sorry Cube, but you're not going to put up Lil Wayne numbers when your album headliners are artists like Butch Cassidy.  Where is Chris Brown? Where is Bobby Valentino? Where is DJ Khaled? Where is Nas? No T-Pain. No Akon.  E-40 making big dollars collabing with T-Pain and Akon and he's repping the West.  This just shows E-40, The Game, Too Short, Snoop Dogg are the West Coast and they are miles ahead of Ice Cube.  We all know he is capable of doing so much better and that's why it's dissapointing.

Dude, you're a douche...

peep the new allhiphop interview with cube. he clearly said that he was tired of people telling him what to do and who to collab with just cause that cat is hot at the moment. cube is not aiming for all that, and he's not aiming for big sales either. he's trying to make a statement and reach his core audience. so why get a song from t-pain?!

Good sales for a indie record

HIS LAST DID BOUT 500K , I THINK RAW FOOTAGE WILL MAKE LESS (in few numbers) cuz of progressive internet leaking and link spreading.


the numbers modern artists make today, cuz of rnb elements or t-pain voices (bitches like this so they buy albums), neither of them contains raw footage - so bitches aint interesed in gangsta rap/baracuda swag. so it will be hard to sell 200k.

['EclipZe]

i dont get that jonas brothers fuckin shit...who on earth would buy that gay shit everytime i turn on the tv its some gay shit about that homo group..and then i turned it on and it was some cover of the beatles by them...like wtf rediculous shit

my lil sister listens to that bullcrap ;/ omfg what a gay ass music

and it will continue to get worse, and worse.. now pookie from down the street knows how to use Blogspots..  the music industry makes for a great hobby, but a lousy business.

Hip hop records don't really sell anymore - unless it's Lil Wayne or Kanye. Even Terminate On Site has sold less than 200k and it's been out for a while and it's got no less than 50 Cent, until recently thought of as the biggest star in hip-hop, all over it.

I'm a bit concerned about LAX' sales prospects. I think Game should be happy if he goes gold this time around, even though the album is amazing.

[al3000]

im wit all the positivity but damn.....he should be able to break a 100 in cali alone......but then again he really didn't push this album....like his lat one.

[LongBeachsFinest]

Lench Mob (cubes record label) will be getting around $6.00 an album!

$6 x 65.000 units - = $390.000

budget (production, features, studio, staff, promo) $150k - maximum


remaining = $240.000 first week

40k will go to the next video and promotion

so thats somewhere around $200k FIRST week, and he could max out around 350.000 units . .you do the math

[Si-Chiggedy]

the album is dope as fuck. i doubt anyone can make a cd as good this year..... period.

I kinda agree with you, but let's see what Westurn Union and Paris can do.

[Detox Is A Myth!!!]

He made another Southern album    What kind of sells do you expect?

Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It and Stand Tall are the only real standouts.  Too much South.

u a dumb ass dat don't have shit 2 do with it .
dat single he put out was shit , the one with
him in the drop top . fool stop groupin da south together
cuz they southern inspired beats he picked was bad and dat single
was a bad westcoast beat . bad is bad and them beats don't come
from my southern city , Houston u bitch .

Lol at some random Southern trash dissing me just to get a rep.  Stop claiming Houston.  McGrady was cool until he joined your squad and started catching feelings.  Now he's literally crying every May over some first round loss $hit.  I'm left assuming your whole city is bitch made.
