Why did "Blood in my eye" sell like hot pies in San Bernardino County, but not in the rest of U.S. ?
Hmmm... interesting.

This muthaphukka talking shit on my home... now ain't that a bitch. LOL. Hey dogg, I don't know what you think out in Europe, but come to the I.E. and talk that shit. Now I know exactly why Ja Rule would sell, hell, I live here and know what people like. Muthaphukkaz here love diss songs. LL dissed Canibus, everyone had to have G.O.A.T., no matter how bad, I remember the most played song out of peoples cars in 2000 was Callin' Out Names, you could not go a day for almost a whole year without hearing that song blasting out of someone's car. 50 is a fake pimp, if Ja is dissing a fake pimp, people here will buy it. Shit, I do think people here do forgive too much, but rap fans hear love to get shit that no one else in pop culture likes. If 106 and Park is booing Ja, then it's cool to get his album. I did go to a Ja Rule concert in San Bernardino when he was at the top of his commercial success in the summer of 2001, and no one was there, and they couldn't give tickets away dispite heavy advertising. (I think it was like $10 the day of the concert for floor sit) But now that people are hating on Ja, San Bernardino will give him a second chance, and if his dissing a fake pimp, then it's all good. Besides, we love a good diss song in San Bernardino County. Now if you go north of San Bernardino, into the mountains with all the rich people, and beyond there with all the Republican's in the desert, their kids might have bought Ja because every north of S.B. are some Republican muthaphukkaz, and there are more of them up in the mountains and desert, than us that live in S.B., Rialto, Fontana, Colton, Bloomington, Ontario and Monclair.

--- Quote ---And exactly how do you know that "the streets" bought the album, and not the leftovers of his MTV/sing-a-song/r'n'b-duet fanbase ??
That's right, you have no clue.

I know because his song wasn't topping all charts. The fans from MTV aren't fans of his rugged shit, they're fans of his Ashanti songs. If it were the 12 year old little girls, believe "Clap Back" would be all over TRL. It wasn't, so therefore, they weren't the consumer.


--- Quote ---It all comes down to this: If Ja sold 3 mill, Irv would be like "What can I say, the fans love it, Ja is the man"
But it flopped miserably, it sold 250K, and Irv says: "Oh yeah, the hood loved it, Ja is deep in the streets"
The album could have sold 5 UNITS, and Irv would still have a positive exciting outlook on it.

For an album that came out rather quietly with not TOO MUCH promotion, video or radio play, it did alright. His numbers were usually higher because he aimed at a different audience, don't you understand that? This album wasn't made to be platinum, it was made for the streets. That's why every song is on some street shit. It's plain and simple.


--- Quote ---If you can't see the comedy.. I won't point it any more out.

Same would have been for 50, if "Get rich or die trying" sold 250K, and 50/Dre said: "The streets loved it, that's who we made it for", I would still be laughing.
You just trying to turn this into a dickrider/hater situation like always.

If 50 didn't have songs like "21 Questions" or "In Da Club" the album wouldn't have done good. If "Many Men" was released as the first single, it probably would've never picked up sales. Why? Becuase that's a song aimed at the streets, not the teenie boppers. So, if that was how 50 made his album, I could see how he would say it's for the streets.

BTW, M.Dogg, chill on that foo. He don't know. He was trying to wolf on the S.G.V. and can't even get that right.

The S.G.V. is in the Los Angeles County, not San Bernardino County.

M Dogg™:
it's all good. I just don't like no outsider coming in talking shit about my home, a place he ain't never been. It's all good though.
