I only have the mp3s so far. Still need to order my us-import version, although I don't like the album. I'll buy just to support him. I can understand why it isn't selling that good.

At Amazon.com Sales rank it`s around 440 or something, wich is quite good..... I bet the album will go gold eventually like all his other albums...

This is still pretty coo' for Quik, he deserves to be #1 but then so do so many others from the west that don't get the recognition they deserve. Sales don't mean shit anyways, big up to Quik, one of the great pioneers in hip-hop.

I think that if you take one of the 'O's' out of 'Good' it's 'God', if you add a 'D' to 'Evil' it's the 'Devil'. I think some cool motherfucker sat down a long time ago and said 'let's figure out a way to control motherfuckers'.

Quik is one of my favourite rappers and producers ever, but no way in hell this cd deserves to be number 1.  THe single is Quik's least catchy single ever (it ain't bad, just average)....and this album is his second worst.  I don't see why he didn't keep Put it in the Air with Talib for his album, that would have blown up and sold him some copies guaranteed.  

I really don't hear many guaranteed singles on this album like i do on all his other cd's......

what do yall expect?

DJ Quik is a West Coast artist who doesn't make commercial mainstream music, he isnt signed to no conglomerate like Def Jam


he had virtually no promotion/advertisement

the fact that he's been in the game 10 years dont mean shit,

fuck the game

Well this is just wack.

The people at warehouse predcited that he would be number 2 behind eminem. (from hits daily double) lets hope he does what truth hurts did and come on slow, but gain as time goes on... Im really dissapointed. Oh well, It still blows my mind when: TOTALLY HITS 2002 can do better than one of the most musically talanted persons of our time.

I am a little surprised, because I went to 2 Circuit Citys  and a Best Buy and all of them were sold out of the album. I am in Los Angeles so he obviously sells more here than anywhere else, but I was still hopping that he would sell more than 70,000. Especially because he will be getting most of the money from the sales this time around.

What Warehouse is saying that for THEIR store it is probably going to come in at #2...but Warehouse's sales are only a small fraction of the overall sales.  Oh yah..and the DJ Quik album officially sold a little over 41,000 copies to land at #23--yikes.  And yah-the album isnt good...I only like about   6 tracks.

Why doesn't he deserve to be #1? He surely deserves it over half the joke MC's/rappers that are breaking through nowadays. It's not his best album, no, but none of his albums have been short of dope imo so it doesn't really matter to me. Quik has always been consistent in my eyes and he deserves alot more recognition than he gets, alot more.

Yup, he's obviously in it for the music, which is the most important thing. The interview I just posted up he explains how he's been aproached by so many people to produce hits for them but he's turned them down due to commitments with other projects, he could be blowing up like the Neptunes right now but he's not like that, they've gotten played out, Quik doesn't want that, it's about the music to him, not the money, that only leads to over-exposure.
