I always hear that "'this' artist doesn't sell"; Cube just flopped.so if a movie-company decided to release a movie on VHS in the year of 2010 - and it didnt sell - that would because they "flopped".people stopped buying hardcopy-albums, when rapidshare and filestube were invented.u can only sell albums, if u are a larger-than-life artst (like Eminem), or if ur fanbase is in their 40-50's..Cube's soundscan-digits can be rightfully defended on this one.LOL, Cube's fanbase is all in their 40's & 50's & apparently they didn't cop this.& all I'm saying is Slaughterhouse sold more copies. I know record sales are down & I know Slaughterhouse sold shit too. But you would think someone "more relevant" would sell more hardcopies.again that comes with promo. And Cham you are the homie, but seriously bro u need to attend a Cube concert. All ages are there, not just 40 and 50 year olds. Granted this is only 1 week. I would be interested to see if SH's album, to no fault of their own, even cracked 100k and what this album ends up at.

I would be interested to see if SH's album, to no fault of their own, even cracked 100k and what this album ends up at.I know Cube doesn't only have 40-50 year old fans. But if anyone in rap has them, Cube does.The guy said "40-50 year olds only buy albums", but that's ridiculous considering the only rappers that sell are Eminem, Jay-Z, Drake, Lil' Wayne & Kanye, all who have a high majority of younger fans.But you are right, I do need to attend a Cube concert.
I remember talking about Ice Cube's relevancy compared to Slaughterhouse & people we're telling me I was buggin' lol.What up, Hack?
all I'm saying is Slaughterhouse sold more copies.

I remember this discussion was a year ago when Cube's last album had actually been decent and sold several hundred thousand copies. Regardless, this album still sold more in its first week than the Slaughterhouse album did. I think its still no question that Cube is more relevant. He sold more with a mediocre album than Slaughterhouse did with a good album. Slaughterhouse only sold 18k its first week, an album which was released over a year ago slaughterhouse album had "sound off", "microphone", "cuckoo", "onslaught 2", "salute me", "raindrops" and "cut you loose"songs that are better than anything off the new Cube cd

Quote from: Hans Moleman on October 06, 2010, 07:00:14 PMif someone was 15 when NWA came out they'd be 37 nowdamnnnlol I'm 19 now I feel weird. Also yeah Slaughter House> I Am The West, The Production and Lyricism was all on point. However I Am The West Sold more in it's first weak. Not surprising, I Am The West had a southern Single (She Couldn't Make it) to help push the albums radio play. Basically I Am The West was the Banger that got the buzz started huge, Drink The Kool Aid was the Controversy to have people look towards the albums direction, and The Southern Inspired single (while hated on here, is loved by the mainstream radios) is what helped the album keep it's mainstream buzz.
