[Tha Psycho Hustla]

I´m Bumpin`It Right Now..It`s ALright..Whuzzup?Why Ya Say It Flop?

[Halu Sination]

80k is a huge dissappointment considering how much radio play they received on the west coast. hell im willin to bet if they changed the name '213' to 'snoop dogg and crew' they would have sold more.

[KING VerbalAssaulta]

well one i havent even heard the single over here on the east...actually i dont even know what the first single is...and considering the album blows ass...80k is pretty good

[Itchy Balls]

Man, you kids don't know what the fuck you are talking about.  Selling 80k in one week is a flop?  Keep in mind that 90% of their radio play was on the West.  They had less radio play than Houston and he only sold 50k first week.  Terror Squad had the #1 single in the country and they only sold 90k. 

If they came out and sold a mil the first week, y'all would call them sell outs.  Y'all are some fickle ass fans.  Always talking shit yet, you wouldn't know how to make a hot song if your life depended on it.

Everyone thinks they know everything.  Spending all day on the net criticizing how other people work.  Y'all kill me. 

Another thing, maybe if some of you would actuially go out and support, you would see bigger numbers.  I posted last week about Warren G doing an in-store at VIP Records in Long Beach and not one of y'all showed up.  He came down and hung out for 4 hours!  Big A came through.  All the homies came through.  It was all love.  Y'all talk much shit but would never say that shit directly to these artists face. 

Busters.

One of my friends from the midwest has never seen the "Groupy Luv" video, listens to both the pop and rap stations all the time, and has never even heard the single... only way the dude knows about 213 is through me.  Given that they've been given pitiful promotion, its doing great!

[Primo]

True they had very little promotion a did pretty good in the first week.

Hmmm...your friend must not own a TV since the Groupie Luv video premiered on Direct FX on MTV this week.

I'm a pretty big 213 fan (thus countering any "hater" argument) but selling less than 100k is a flop.  Even a dude like Cassidy can move 100k a week and arguably Snoop, Warren and Nate are much bigger names than Cassidy.  I'd attribute the poor sales to the lack of promotion rather than the quality of the album, though.  The sales could still pick up, if they choose the right second single.

[AlerG]

who really cares about sales...if you enjoy the album why does it matter how many sell?
i know this is coming from the guy that posts record sales every week, but that's just to show how raps doing on the charts.
i love the new 213 album, best westcoast album in awhile, peace.

[Trauma-san]

Lemme get this straight.  Yall are the same mothafuckas that told me Michael Jackson 'only' going double platinum, in 2 months, was a flop, but yet when 213, one of the most anticipated westcoast albums of all time drops, and does 80K, everything's cool. 

[AlerG]

lets go over what you consider a flop, which is rediculous because the album hasn't even been on the charts for a week yet and you are making this statement...for instance:

Black Eyed Peas: Elephunk

Released June 20, 2003
About 32,000 First Week Sales
Took 17 Weeks To Finally Go Gold
Took 8 Months To Finally Go Platinum
Have Been On The Charts For Over 60 Weeks
Never Came In Higher Than 10th On The Charts
Never Sold More Than 55,000 In One Week
Total Sales To Date: 1.93 Million

So, what you would've said the week it was released was it was a flop based on the fact that they only sold 32,000 in their first week, but they are kind of an exception because they hadn't previously blew up and now you can say that they have slowly become double platinum recording artists.
213 is a little different, i agree 80,000 isn't alot for a group with the members that they have, but those numbers aren't final yet. Also, that album is not a flop because the shit is dope. The more i listen to it the more i feel it, peace.
