Damn This Iz Sad...(Blaqkout Numbers...)

[DJ ACE CAPONE]

Like I said, I liked 2 songs on the album but it only got about a week or so of play out of me.

[drunkenfool]

Well I do know Quik has sold out every one of his Quik's Groove shows, tickets for that are $30. the House of Blues holds 1000 people so that was $30 grand for last sat night alone. I know he doesn't get %100 of ticket sales, but that is showing what LA fans are spending to watch/listen to Quik. I've been to all 3 Quiks grooves so far, all have been worth it.

[Gamestarr]

cause the album is ass and had no promotion. /thread

Ain't nobody tryin to hear Kurupt rap anymore dat nigga is done he just makin THE WEST LOOK BAD with his trash Quik should jus produce really thou Kurupt need 2 stay the fuck away from the mic he's such a dissapointment

[Jangalang]

they sales suck because this was not even close to their best work

[Detox Iz Not Active]

not surprised at all, Westcoast stays losing




if you're not Snoop/Dre/Game you aint selling shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

[Chamillitary Click]

^because Snoop sells out with catchy, clubby singles.

T.I. & Game are the only two real rappin' MC's left mainstream that sell.

but even T.I. sold out with "Whatever You Like"; big, bitch singles sell.

Im assuming your high right now, either that or just plain arrogant.

Kurupt is making some GREAT tracks lately. Have you heard "This is how we play" prod by Fredwreck. He has still got it, dont you worry about that.

He is still SICK live and he can still sell plenty of records. If you dont like it though, dont buy it. You obviously downloaded this album to have an opinion that Kurupt was a  "dissapointment", why download it if he sucks huh?

Go back to listening to Weezy, TPain and Drake. Enjoy.

[Detox Is A Myth!!!]

Well, if that 213 album that Snoop put out a few years back were to come out today, it would only sell 50,000.  It's amazing how bad rap music has been hit by downloading.

On the other hand, artists make most of their money by touring, so fukk the sales.

Honestly, I was all set to buy this record.  Hey Playa was not great, but good enough to get my attention.  9x Outta 10 is solid, as is Do You Know.  Three weeks before the album release date we were all fiendin for the album.  The Into instrumental snippet sounded like some old school p-funk that we all love.

And then the song snippets came out about a week before the album dropped.  What a buzz kill.  Only 8 listenable songs?    This really made me nervous.  Then the album leaked in full, and I had to download it to preview the album because the song snippets had me nervous.  Sure enough, the album turned out to be so meager.  It's really not worth $10, especially when I have a lot of other Westcoast classics still to buy (e.g. Nobody Can Do It Better, Get in Where You Fit In, Death Certificate are all still on my "to buy" list).  And when it comes down to it, BlaQKout just isn't worth my $10 over something like Nobody Can Do It Better that I could spend it on instead.

These days there are so many back catalog albums to buy that it's difficult for newer albums to compete for my money, unless they are really good enough in quality to compete.  But which albums these days can compete with the classics that are competing for my $10?  None are.  I suspect that plays a role, too, in today's poor record sales.  It prevents me from buying a lot of newer releases.  I only have so much money to spend on rap music, you know?

[LONDON!!!]

The westcoast is in a sad pathetic state

nah, the fans are

co-sign this

[LONDON!!!]

fuck record sales though these days numbers dont mean shit. Doesn't mean its a bad album coz of the sales, people focus far too much on how much the record sells.
