i gotta criticize a couple of things here, specifically about how This is the life I lead sold "terribly". This album was independent, Daz says in one of the songs "Fuck all y'all major labels". If they were expecting to go gold or platinum without any magazine adds, commercials, etc., then Daz has smoked himself stupid. Daz is not as well known as he was back in 1996-1998, and most of the rap fans, honestly, doesn't care for Daz anymore. He should be happy if they sell 100,000, considering he gets a good chunk of money cuz he's independent. And if he thinks that by going major can help him, he better have a nice long chat wit Nate Dogg and Warren G. Nate's last album (IMO garbage) sold about the same as Daz's latest album, and Warren G's hasn't seen gold, or even a second single.
Nate Doggs last album, which wasnt very good, dwarfed Daz's sales (as it should). Dont get me wrong..Music and Me was a HUGE disappointment quality and sales wise..but its numbers towered over Daz's. Nate Dogg's album was on Billboard top 100 for a number of weeks during Christmas season..which is about guaranteed 200,000 units right there.
I heard it only sold about 77,000. not 100% sure
Sorry but everytime i see a daz update it reminds me of a drug addict just walking around and talking shit.....
