Even though I hate your guts, that's bad on both ends for you guys. At least Realest puts content into his music unlike some other rappers. With the single song downloads put together as a 17 track album and divided it rounds to 75 album sales. The total is 1,020 CD sales is what it is equivalent too including digital sales and hard copy. Damn, that blows.While I'm a fan of Realest, I dont think he's ever going to escape the whole "2pac/Deathrow" stigma that comes up when you mention his name. His music has definitely evolved since then and you hear more mature content but even I, as a fan, can't let that go sometimes. It sucks cause he's definitely come a long way since then but you are always going to have people who will always say "fuck him" for biting Pac.Also, imo, the promotion was horrible. I visit a few hiphop blogs every few days (NahRight, Hype Beast, 2dopeboyz) and I never saw Realest mentioned - and these are sites that usually post up new music/album info on the daily. Also aside from the internet, I didnt see any mentions of it anywhere. THENNNNNN the day of the release, the local Best Buy didnt recieve their shipment - and when they did, they only got in 3 copies. For Realest's sake, I hope Enigma is right in saying that this is just an album to introduce him to the record executives and fans that will lead to a second album.

aite so you said tha realest has a another album comin......?if thats the caseim sayin what label will be willin to put it out if this album of his didnt do that well?muffuccaz werent expectin it to sell millions, not even 1,000's but if it did do less than that, what label will sign him?unless it was his current label he was signed to?and was that deal solid if he were to sell copies off his first album?
100 percent false, though the results were disappointing to say the least.438 hard copy507 digital sales1,278 single song downloadsThis is only including major chains/Best Buy and iTunes. This is not yet including Amazon, Mom and Pop shops that put the album on special order, and website preorders. Those will all be factored in eventually, but none the less it was nothing to brag about.The economy is in a rut right now, nobody buys cd's, this was an independent album release, and on top of that, many of the Best Buys got the album a week late. It's still not an excuse on our behalf.We weren't expecting anything past a 1000 really for the first week, this is not something we're aiming to be a money making album, maybe just break even. Realest got involved in a real good situation going with Mike Lynn at the end of '08, but the RBC deal was already signed. This helps line us up for that second album. This is more like an album for execs and fans to introduce him musically to the industry, without a Death Row name tag attached. It was also his way of showing that he's got more to him as an artist than just someone with the "Pac stigma."We've already got bigger situations in line for the second album lined up. The response for the album has been overwhelmingly positive, so we're gonna ride this out and try to have as many fans hear the project, whether they buy it or download it (hopefully they purchase it of course). We're hoping that the music will speak for itself.
