Think about it:the first release from snoop's label on mca records has sold only 35.000 copies in the first week.....i guess the executives over mca are not so happy about it!
good post B. good point about how Aftermath promotes their artists, but theyre not as much of a crew as Dogghousebut thats their own fault cause they did not promote the album at all. they cant blame the quality of the album, its definitely the promotion. but I get the point you made with E White, same happend to Warren, he lost his hopes and Im sure he wants to retire cause his last album sold jack shit, so why make another album if no ones gonna buy it and worst of all if your label doesnt take care of you and dont promote it AT ALL
i guess before some1 signs a deal with a label they are also talking about promotion (promo-plans, promo-budgets) for upcoming releases...perhaps snoop wasnt out for big promotion...who knows. i doesnt surprise me that the doggy style allstars release only sold few copies cause this release isnt as good as i thought it will be, but thats just my opinion. i hope the upcoming dogghouse albums will be better...with or without promotions (i dont care about promotions).
But sales are important. MCA will drop DoggyStyle Records, when they don't earn enough money through them. That's why sales are important.

I don't care about sales. The problem is that when the sales aren't right, the record company will go bankrupt. And that's not about quality.
