yall dont understand the independent hustle....he made this album on the cheap. he pocketed the budget he keeps the lion share of what this album makes if buzz keeps generating then album sales will be semi consistent for the next few months. maybe he can put a summer jam out to give it some legs...as his first venture into being independent i think this is a good look but yall are stuck in the past and still thinking albums are getting multi million dollar budgets and are expected to perform as they did 93-03...indepndant you actually anticipate the oppsoite i doubt they even pressed up 500k copies of this.
nobody thought he was going to do more than 100K first week lol so it's not a flukefluke for 50 Cent would be under 10K IMO and don't forget he's indie now so he still made bank off this first week alone
Some serious hating going on in here. I don't think anyone was expecting him to do Interscope numbers.Quote from: Blood$ on June 11, 2014, 09:28:30 AMnobody thought he was going to do more than 100K first week lol so it's not a flukefluke for 50 Cent would be under 10K IMO and don't forget he's indie now so he still made bank off this first week alone I think you have "fluke" confused with "flop".
