People say "Get rich or die trying" is classic hiphop, but personally, I can't stand that either. Or Jay-Z or Kanye, or all this other "classic" crap everyone is supposed to like. Even the new Ice Cube was wack. So few artists are actually putting out decent music. And those few artists will never be house hold names. I don't know how people can actually enjoy Lil Wayne's music. I can understand why someone would like Nas or Jay-Z or TI. But the crap these days, that's selling the most, is complete garbage. Back in the day, the albums that sold the most, were the best. How many copies did Doogystyle sell? How many copies did Thriller or Purple Rain sell? Billions of copies. What's the last quality album to sell over a million copies? Dre's 2001?

Music is completely subjective. TI promotes himself and his music well, has since his first album. Wayne puts out a ton of material, mixtapes and albums also. Gives his fans what they want and gains new ones. Music game and the hustle game is not much different. These days you have to really hustle to get your product out to the masses. Now there are alot of mindless sheep that do buy whatever everyone else does, but the majority of the artists that do well these days the label and the artist are promoting the fuck out of the product and hustling it.

Yeah I feel people that don't like a particular artist but again that is subjective and is not a great argument as to why they sell records. Even Plies hustles the fuck out of his music. Has a solid core fanbase and delivers the kind of music they like.

different taste for different people. personally, i like e-40's new CD but I wouldn't call it his best. hell yeah his old discography is slammin and I bump every single one of them shits but come on.. i can't be listening to the SAME CD every day just because it was made in some certain year. you gotta diversify your bonds, niggas.

and that's why Plies, Ti, Wayne sell - hustle their music.

No doubt. E-40 is kind of love or hate with people. I think his new one is dope as fuck but this time around he did not have a Tell Me When To Go pushing the album. The track with Akon has not caught on at all. Still a great album.

It will be interesting to see what Camera Phone does for Game's numbers and for the simple fact it ain't on the album.
