DUBCC - Tha Connection > Outbound Connection

Record Sales...Dec 14/04...

<< < (3/8) > >>

Suffice:
ya'll are trippin. Nas's CD was one of the best of the year, and SURE AS HELL better than Luda's. Luda's album sucks except for a few songs, like the ones with nate dogg and dj quik, and a couple songs towards the end.

GangstaBoogy:
good to see Luda on top. its sad Eminem can sell more records that Nas...

T.I.'s is the best on that list and its mediocre at best imo and its 2nd to last. Ludas was pretty weak and was a disappointment cuz he got the talent.  Its sad that those cds as horrible as they are could push that many units so far. If you add in the fact that R&G and Encore were leaked and pirated like a  mutha and still put up those numbers..is mazing...and sad. Sales stats no longer mean shit to me.

side note: I went to a house party about a week ago. 18-25 year old white kids  bumpin Encore, Reciting word for word and shit. I was just standin there laughin tryin to get drunk as fast as possible. Then it hit me, this is the fanbase that are buyin this shit and what the music industys main target is. Finally opened my eyes to the big picture and its pretty damn sad...Fuckin Sheep

Well, I'm white and I'm of that age you just mentioned, but sure as hell I will never ever learn the words to Encore. I didn't even manage to fully listen to it once, as it's crap as hell.

Anyway, that's probably the main reason why Eminem and Luda can push way more units than the others in that list. Their fanbase doesn't just stick to true hiphop lovers: kids of all ages listen to Eminem, no matter what other music they listen to. And besides that, many of the younger kids just listen to Eminem because that's what they call "hot". If they would have been listening to true hiphop, half of the other kids would say their taste in music sucked. Therefore, maybe Eminem shouldn't even be listed here, since it's more popmusic than hiphop. Possibly the #3 in the list is more hood than him.

No. You can't separately buy the discs, the way you can with Nelly's Sweat/Suit.
