Not bad at all, but I also don't think it's great for a dude in his position. With Dre, Em, and 50 all backin' him I would've expected sales to be a bit higher than that. Especially considering the first week sales of both 50's and Em's albums.

255 thousand is a great sales number.  Eminem & 50 and everybody sell much much more, but I think people lose track of just how incredible it is to sell that many cd's.  Think about that, you go in the studio, make some music, and 255,000 people enjoy it enough to actually spend 15 bucks on your Cd.  That's a hell of an accomplishment.

That is a helluvalot....for one he's a new artist. Two, he's not gonna sell but so much bein a new artist related to Eminem comin right after 50. Three, he didn't have near the publicity 50 had. 50 had two catchy ass singles to help him sell. Got some teeth is fair, a lotta people think it sucks tho. Also, Obie doesn't really have that commercial appeal as Em or 50. Then too, Joe Budden got way more promotion that Obie, and he only sold 80,000 his first week. And everybody at my school has this shit bootleg but barely any of em bought it. So goin silver his first week is a helluva accomplishment if u ask me.

Pretty good for Obie... Pick a good second single and you got a gold record. He might maybe, just maybe, go platinum eventually if they market him right - have the right singles, make appearances at the right places with the right people...

Congrats to him.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.
