Promotion isn't everything, so K-Suge is partly right.
I think Butch is one of the tightest "hookers" (lol) in the game, but I sadly dont think he would sell much.

Maybe he would go platinum if they released a giga-hit like e.g. "Oh no" with Nate Dogg & Pharoahe.
But it would have to be a VERY big hit.

Even Tha Eastsidaz barely went platinum with their first album, and they even had "SNOOP DOGG" in BIG letters on their cover, and the 2 smash-hits "G'd up" & "Got Beef".
I doubt Butch would sell even 100.000 if he gets only the average first-single hit.
If you ask 100% of the population, who Butch Cassidy is, you would get these answers:

40%: "He is that cowboy-legend"
50%: "Who?"
7%: "Oh, that Snoop Dogg singer isn't it?"
3%: "Yea, he is that tite cousin of Nate Dogg with them phat azz hooks"


But I know I would have bought it though. :D

Butch Cassidy is damn tight, very talented for sure.  HOWEVER, he does not come close to Nate dogg!  NOT EVEN CLOSE!  He hasn't been doing it for 10 years now, constantly helping make platinum hits.  He does not have as strong of voice (Butch's voice is tight, but rather empty).  Butch is good at hooks, and could prolly drop a nice album, but no way in hell would he blow up.

Butch is a dope mutha fucka and I think he would create a bangin' album.  But there are too many haters and bootlegers.  Plus not a lot of westcoast artists get much recognition these days.  A majority of people who buy rap albums are young white kids who buy the shit cause the single has a nice jingle or a catchy hook or a busta like ja rule in the song.  The real west coast supporters are a dying breed.
