I just think he should have kept the style he used on "at the speed of life" album fucker went hard on every track.

changing his style sold 1.5 mill in the US alone, At the Speed of Life didn't seel that many units..... changing his style got him paid and I personally am not made at him....
Peace and Blessings,

The jonas brother sell alot of albums does that mean I should like them? I ain't mad at him either but "at the speed of life" is the only album I bought and kept because it's fire. I bought "restless" and can't remember if I still have it or if I swaped it at the used cd store. It only had 3 tracks I liked 2. Front 2 Back  6. Alkaholik (featuring Erick Sermon, J-Ro &Tash of Tha Liks) (Explicit) & 14. Get Your Walk On (Explicit).

I doubt I will ever buy anothe X album again.... But I'll still bump "AT THE SPEED OF LIFE" & those 3 tracks.

What about 40 Dayz N 40 Nightz?

To be honest I felt like this album and Tha Last Meal should and could have sold more. But to say X as not blown up is crazy though.

he's finacially comfortable

internationally known

gets tv and movie work and tours worldwide

so yes he has blown up...the thread title wasnt "why didnt xzibit sell more copies than everyone else in 2000??"..for me blowin up is everyone knowing who you are and being fincially stable for the rest of your life...sales is just a part of that...shit if he bring out an album with some t-pain,akon,timberlake and sells a bunch will he have then blown up in your eyes??

cus in my eyes he will have just sold out when it wasnt necessary
