remember its double album, so thats really 300-350,000 first week which is Jay Z's worst debut in years.If this info is true....
King Suge: don't wanna get into an argument with you as usual cuz i dont have time for bullshit, but in reality this will be Jigga's worst debut in a long time. The blueprint sold 450,000 first week, while Blueprint 2 is on pace for 700,000 (meaning only 350,000 cuz its a double album). Plus, you cant really count an Unplugged cd as those never sell as well as normal albums. Still, a pretty nice first week for jay, but he needed to have a video out byt now to put up major first week sales.......maybe once more of the general public hears BOnnie and CLyde 03 and see the video, his salesd will go through the roof.So, in actuality, this album is Jigga's worst debut in years.............so Militant Tech isnt that stupid after all. And this has nothing to do with me liking the album (it has some hot songs for sure)....
The cd does not count as double by soundscan...Jigga realistically is selling 700,000...Only the RIAA doubles it when it certifies it...Pac's All Eyez ON Me has SOUNDSCANNED 5 million but RIAA has certified it 10XPlat...Jigga is doing 300k probably in NYC alone...

That's a really stupid comment. First of BOBW and Unplugged both sold well below this, and those numbers are huge. Seriously-if you dont like the album--FINE..but to say those numbers are bad is just really sad.
