Damn... I guess Game didn't really blow up here  This was the first time in years I've checked on those charts, and it'll be the last time in a while also... It's fucking shocking to see how sad this music industry is, with hardly any Hip-Hop/R&B in it...

And Game... He didn't make it here. His single's finally getting some airplay - maybe he'll get some bigger sales soon. I don't know, for him I just hope so.

[Traumatized]

I guess he won't sell any good out here in Germany/Europe. I've never seen his video on tv, In Da Club was played all the time.

[Don Seer]

hype wont hit here till he's touring

[King Of L.A.]

damn u europeans are fuckin slow when it comes to music.

[CRAFTY]

hype wont hit here till he's touring

True...all of a sudden those typical groupies will be like "Wow, have you heard of that dude Game? He's TIGHT!!!"
I hate it when that happens...

[Florez]

Because the cd isn't promoted in Europe. When they going to it will blow up for sure. Think before you spealk...

Yup. Game is finally getting his first air play. His video is getting popular tho - I guess he'll be fine soon enough, but I just don't understand why they aren't really promoting Game in any way out here.

I guess in the beginning they want to put all the energy into the States,  because when its a hit in the US most of the time it also blows up in Europe

[white Boy]

why is it sad that the europeans are smart enough to listen to better music.. ... you guys are acting like this is an incredible record that MUST BE HEARD.. and they are sleeping on it.. its just another rap record, and im guessing they could give a fuck less

[Gangstauu]

That is because the "how we do" video aint released here yet
no one knows who he is over here.lol

Bullshit  Look at those album charts - that's about all hiphop/r&b the average European knows of. There's loads more (and better) out there in the US, but half of the Europeans just don't pay attention to it.

And thats because they don't get marketed properly you morron. Nowadays its all about marketing. If good albums who are a hit in the US and the recordlabel choses not to put money into it overseas it won't be a hit no, but if they do they MOST of time they are going to blow up.

[Kill]

it's easy to blame europeans for their taste in music...i'm not trying to defend anybody, but where do artists like Royce, Dilated, Afu-Ra, Lootpack, Digable Planets, Hiero or J5 have a comparatively large fanbase? exactly....

[Lil Jay]

no one knows who he is over here.lol

ive seen the video like 60 times

[Noname]

people just dont appreciate good music over here....
