I think Snoop made a mistake not releasing worldwide yet..
I just want to throw out there that there was a debate (maybe have been on DBA) that Snoop Dogg was as/more popular than Eminem.Recovery sold 500,000 first week? Maybe more. Ten times more albums sold & that was an actual debate?I wonder who I'm talking to sometimes lol.

Albums sales doesn't equate to popularity. Snoop is a household name, Wiz Khalifa is not.

Most dont buy ANY albums. of course the internet comes into play, 9/10 people download albums, same with tv shows, anime, movies , etc. I bet at least a million people downloaded Snoops album and prolly thousands just got the one person they know who purchased it to burn it for them. Iam the only person i know who bought it and i've had requests to burn it for peopel and my other mates just all downloaded it. Sweat gets radio play here also but its some gay techno remix it seems? But yeah Snoop aint had a big hit since "drop it like its hot' so no surprise he aint selling well. Word.... I got to be honest, in so many ways the digital media has fucked up hip-hop and it definitely affects record sales. In the golden ages of hip-hop like the 80's and 90's there word of mouth really carried the industry and brought people together in hip-hop and propelled artists to the top. Now there is no word of mouth and record sales are all fucked up. I mean, the good part about it is we have so much more music to listen to now, but the quality of music has deteriorated drastically because of it and artists are getting ripped off.

People would wait and listen to tape the hit songs off the radio's, and made more effort to sit around and wait.... CD burners came out, and everyone knew of at least 5 different people locally who had lists and lists of the top 40 albums, and others by artist or genre for a couple of $/£... If anything the internet's made it much more difficult to actually download an album successfully - for the average common person, they don't know where to look, how to download etc.. The other 'earlier' options were far easierPeople just need to quit buying into this internet affect sales BS... An industry cop out, for making cheap watered down trash, and looking for blame when it doesn't recoup their $2 budget they used to make the damn thing
