they should release music on a format that self destructs that way if you really like a song you have to keep buying that shit over and over

20k is good nowadays, i'm surprised

Is it? Kendrick did over 240,000 first week


and xzibit did 3,000.....the game aint the same. plus, kendrick came out on interscope surrounded by the most hype for a rapper in years. horrible comparison to begin with.

How was it horrible? If Kendrick can do it off the talent and the buzz, how come an established artist like Snoop can't.

You can't give the argument 'rap don't sell' anymore. It's just ideas that are old and played out.

Regardless of promotion will.i.am is one of the worlds so called mega stars. I mean how many followers these people got on twitter etc yet they can't sell a few thousand albums.

By promotion do you mean no one being interested in playing his shit? Snoop did horrible. Period. Stop trying to assign the word "good" to 20k.

xzibit did horrible...this is mediocre, at worst. if u were expecting anything above 30k first week, u were being unreasonable.

First Will i am and now Xzibit. Why do you keep bringing up other names? This is a thread about Snoop and Snoop sold horribly. Saying "such and such rapper didn't sell either" doesn't change that. You can bring up anyone on the planet who's put out an album. Doesn't change the fact that Snoop didn't sell shit.

Tyler did 90k
Tyga did 50k
Game did 90k
Kendrick did 200k+

Snoop did 20k, that is hilarious!! But to Snoops defense he hasn't put out a good album since Ego Trippin', this reggae album is terrible. Snoop pushing 20k can only be attributed to not being a good businessman, same goes for Xzibit and a lot of these older artist.

Let me put it this way. If you and I are in math class together, and we both get Fs, It doesn't mean you didn't flunk. You still end up with an F.

Snoop got an F in record sales.

thats where comparisons come in...20,000 is not an F. if xzibit got an F with 3,000, snoop got a C....if Tyga sold 50k in his first week, ud be insane to think snoop can come anywhere close to matching Tyga numbers. thats where comparisons play a role, because expected sales go up-and-down based on the mean of the industry.

C? You're out of your mind. 20k is not an industry standard at any level. To top it all off you're comparing Snoop to a rapper who has been out of the game for 6 years and who's last album sold 17k first week. Snoop did horrible. Xzibit did worse. But this isn't an Xzibit thread.
