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 many of the younger kids just listen to Eminem because that's what they call "hot".

dude im baning you mother over here in eu. but im not a white,brown,black,yellow etc. im your nightmare
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.

So Nas has sold 319841 copies in two weeks, that gets him a gold plaque. Not too bad at all as far as I'm concerned.
And Elevz; Are you sure Nas's Cd is all real instruments? I know that Bridging the Gap is and I loved that song, but the rest of the album does not sound like that. I wish it was a complete blues/rap album, but unfortunately for me, it wasn't. Regardless, the other songs do not sound like the single.

I thought gold was 500,000 copies. Is it 300,000?
Quote from: Shallow on December 15, 2004, 09:29:18 PMI thought gold was 500,000 copies. Is it 300,000?Double the 300000 plus copies because it's a double CD and his album is over 500000.
They do double it. Last week when Nas sold 250,000 or whatever, it was realy 125,000. RIAA doubles it first then releases it.
