50 cent's BISD only sells 26k on week 3

[MediumL]

GangstaBoogy sounds mad at 50 for his career choices and making money off highlighting one portion of his life story.

And you sound like someone who has no clue what you're talking about. Go read my older post, I always have and always will take my hat off to 50 for his business choices, which at this point I feel he should stick to. But as far as him as an artist - he fuckin sucks. Dude is just dull, overly cocky, and repetitive as hell. BISD has some good grimey tracks but like someone else already said, the album sounds like a mixtape. Call me when 50 realizes that songs should have 3 verses.

not every song needs 3 verses. not every verse needs to be 16 bars

fuck a formula

Lol he says this with the SH album cover in his av.

[Action!]

A song should have 3 verses?  LOL! 

You take an L.

[Meho]

You missed GB's point, it's not like 50 has some sort of a unique style and goes for let's say 32 bars per 2 verses. If anything sounds formulatic it's 50's 2 verses songs, they don't sound like complete songs but some album leftovers that he had laying around in the computer and it's always hook, verse, bridge, hook, outro bridge. Often with like 8 bars per verse.

[Action!]

I enjoy the album.   I don't agree with his or your assessment.    I don't think they sound like leftovers nor do I think they sound incomplete.  I don't find it dull or boring.  I don't think he needs to have 3 verses.  I think he fulfils what he meant to do with the material. 

If anything some of the later tracks should be removed - okay, you're right & could've been you don't match with the sound of the album. 

[Dre-Day]

i'm sure he went platinum on the internet though

i'm sure he went platinum on the internet though

Lol if there was an actual certification for internet buzz Joe Budden would have gone mulriplat

week 4 sales of 50cent's album , doesnt make the top50 , so the sales of his album havnt been published. we can assume he did around 13-15k.
so with the last 3 weeks of sales for 50's album, which totals 243,285 units, if we add another 15k for week 4, that would put 50cent's album just under 260k in total.
thats a long way from going gold, given the such low numbers sold each week. i dont know if it can reach gold.

also jay-z's album aint in the top50 either, but he's already platinum

snoop only done 60k for his 1st week sales, which is his weakest effort yet on a debut.

here's the top sales chart:

[Okka]

Man this nigga is really taking a double dose of his own medicine. He is single-handedly the reason we even look at these numbers and pay attention to shit like the infamous 2nd week drop off. These numbers are fuckin awful and I don't see them getting any better since the album doesn't have anymore commercial songs. What a way to self destruct.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAH. 50 Cent is done.

[50]

50 moved so many cds soundscan wasnt able to count that shit..

[jeromechickenbone]

Its always a marketing excuse, lol. Bottom line, 50 has dropped unlistenable shit since his 2nd aftermath album. I can't even remember the name. 50 is easily one of the biggest names, his lack of recent success isn't cuz of marketing, its cuz he puts out crap music simple n plain.

[Action!]

You can say you didn't like it but it's not crap music.

[ironmike]

the album is actually pretty decent. its got a few bangers on there.
 its definately not crap

[GangstaBoogy]

You missed GB's point, it's not like 50 has some sort of a unique style and goes for let's say 32 bars per 2 verses. If anything sounds formulatic it's 50's 2 verses songs, they don't sound like complete songs but some album leftovers that he had laying around in the computer and it's always hook, verse, bridge, hook, outro bridge. Often with like 8 bars per verse.

Thank you. I know these dumb niggas get what I was saying. And LOL @ the idiot who brought up me having a Slaughter House avatar. Yeah because they're a 4 man group they have a lot of songs with 2 verses but each of those verses are 32 bars divided by 2 of the rappers. Fuckin idiot.

[jeromechickenbone]

You can say you didn't like it but it's not crap music.

you're right, it's not music.  it's fucking crap.

[Action!]

It's not fucking crap.  You're just an asshole who has a vendetta.
