1.LOL budden got fucked up, that's sad. Wasn't the Realest on the same level? lol
2. Eh not a surprise, that album had Buzz, Dr. Dre on Production, and has controversy with the We Made You Track.
3.Slaughter House is only selling off its internet following, outside rarely anyone knows who they are. They needed more promotion imo.
-
Well I guess I was giving buddens too much credit when I said he had 5000 fans, lol.
-
i called 15k, so im not surprised.

IF these numbers stand gotta say real music true skills and lyricism are fucked album sales wise... it's really difficult to be a great lyricist nowadays.. its kinda like you have to tour in order to get paid.
couple of years ago all those guys were right.. when hip hop was in a state of emergency, album sales wise that shit is dead unless you are the focus of the label.. and even then u might not sell shit.
its always been about creating a hit.. but album sales were another way to eat.. nowdays that dont account for shit. i'd say now its more about creating a movement.. for example make white people wanna be thugs like g unit.. create a Craze a new dance shoulder lean, for you to actually sell some records nowadays...
music has lost its value.. unless your doing party records which create a ton of emotion ( flo-rida, pitbull and the club records u hear) in todays climate 90% of rappers are losing sales wise
-
Why don't rappers tour more? That's how every other working band does it. You work your asses off on tour. Every 2 or so years you record. Rinse. Repeat. That's the life of a musician.
-
regardless of sales...
Slaughterhouse & Escape Route >>> this year. ;)
EDIT: call me crazy, but isn't it a losing argument?
people try to talk like sales mean something, but when asking anyone of you about Lil' Wayne, he's the "worst"?
-
No hit singles means no radio play and no radio play, no publicity. They sold fairly well for a small internet sensation.

Slaughterhouse just got off rock the bells a massive tour,theyve been doing lots of small venue clubs in between shows,and their going on tour again with tech n9ne to do 45 shows in 49 nights.So theri doing their part.This is going to be an album like a tech n9ne or an atmosphere,where you dont look at first week sales,you look at sales after its been out for a year.This album will sell by word of mouth and by them touring.When its all said and done i bet this album does 100k.
As far as joe buddens album,the release date was announced less then a week before it came out,the album had no promotion,no single and it was digital only.So under those circumstances id say those numbers are decent.

+ mixing was not done properly, I wouldn't buy any album that is lacking in that department.
-
Am I Budden fan and I don't buy his music. Hell, I don't buy any music.
-
I thought it was 23K?
-
I thought it was 23K?
i could have sworn they said they sold out the 25K albums they sent to stores.
-
i bought mine at amazon. damn shame thats the only number they sold.
-
lol lmfao and rotfl @ 100k
-
Has to be more!!! I tried to buy but couldnt find it in stores so i downloaded it instead if ordering online. Anyone else do the same. I bet there are a bunch of fans who did the same and because E1 fucked up shipping.
-
I wonder how much money each rapper really got
-
In order to sell more tickets of their shows,they need to add this singer on their group:

Based on day 1 sales it was projected that Slaughterhouse would sell between 23 - 25K.
Their poor sales aren't surprising to me though - none of these dudes have any pull whatsoever in the mainstream. All these dudes have been staple names in the underground/hip-hop head circles for years, some more than a decade - but that doesn't mean much for record sales these days.
And Buddens' solo pushing only 1700 - who ever handled the marketing on that failed hard. I think Joey could've easily pulled another 18K on his own record had anybody actually known such a thing was coming out. (Though quality wise I can't comment, since I haven't heard the record. Could be the record was just bad. And Joey fans, don't get sand in your vaginas for that, my favorites have put out bad records too.)

ohh.
thank you for clearing that up. ;)

didn't they say that koch put out 25k copies and that they were getting sold out in most places? so what happened to the remaining 7,000 copies that never got sold?

I seen a couple at Target and Best Buy out here. I am sure if the shipment was that low and they sold that many it justifies another shipment of more but I finally did see some copies in stores out here in Vegas.
-
got a copy today. think the reports of it being almost impossible to get might have been a bit overblown, just need to know exactly where...

Some places it sold out, others they can't get rid of. Its just depends where the fans are.
-
Was kinda shocked to see it here in Australia. but i got my copy 8)
-
Now would be the perfect time to drop a slaughterhouse dvd.
-
now would be the perfect time for joe budden and crooked i too quit rapping . there non factors . real talk

i was at the best buy last night and they had copies there filled up

Who gives a shit about sales

Who gives a shit about sales
haters, apparently.

the funny thing is that 18k is not bad at all for them
-
yeah i mean its not great but its not terrible
thats reasonable indie numbers
real muffuccaz arent buyin hip hop anymore so what muffuccaz expect somethin like this to sell 100,000 in the first week alone?
itll prolly take em months to get to that number...which isnt a bad thing
the fact they released a album wit todays bitch made industry is a accomplishment of its own on a high level
altho they left off the best traxx...lol

it's not bad for anybody who isn't mainstream.

Like anyone in europe except for a few who post on hiphop forums like this one know who they are... they just needed the promo but hey wtf, I copped one 8)

no way anyone from SH really seeing any $$ from this album

sure little kid,sure :laugh:
-
Not that sales says anything, but this was pretty much what I expected. Their song the one only had 100k views on youtube. Apparently even though they made a commercial song they still didn't get any spins.
-
well honestly that song was wack and not even worth to be a single
