Post by: Quadruple OG on February 12, 2002, 12:13:48 PM: realistically, factoring in the recent sales of West coast albums, I wouldn't be shocked if it sold between 350,000 and 500,000 copies

Post by: Big BpG on February 12, 2002, 04:16:25 PM: I think gold or platinum are realistic, but anymore is stretching... we gotta see the promotion and everything and how it all works out

Post by: AxleF on February 12, 2002, 04:38:21 PM: Gold for sure. I’m sure that Elektra planned his promotional budget around a gold selling album at worst. They've already invested a great deal in street promotion.

Lets be real, the high profile colabs along with Dr. Dre's involvement may push it Plat. Battlecats production is at it's finest. The West is currently at a disadvantage and it's going to take alot more promotion to compete with likes of Nas and Jay Z.

I think that this album (if promoted right) may give the East a run for their money. But like I said, Elektra would have to be willing to dump alot more money into promotion (and patience.. they have to give it time and stratagize promotion) due to the current state of hip hop (i.e. The East and R&B are currently on top.) This album slamz way harder then anything coming from the EAST anyway, no DOUBT! (referring to nationally distributed Eastcoast artists, that is... Not indie work.. TeeCee :)

Post by: Rud on February 12, 2002, 11:39:20 PM: When Knoc Single Hits The UK I Think It'll Do Well - Everyone Loves The Bad Intentions Chorus

When They See The Vid And Realise its Him It'll Sell - Missy Will Help Grab The Attention

IMO - Knoc Will Go Platinum With Some Good Promotion & The Single Doin Well

peace

Post by: antt213 on February 13, 2002, 12:55:42 PM: 1.5 the singles about to blow up. I found this at hits daily double the Crossover world is buzzing over "Knoc" by KnocTurn'al, which features both Missy Elliot and Dr. Dre.I think he's the west's next big star.

Post by: Mac-A-Docious on February 14, 2002, 09:26:08 AM: I feel knoc' is about to blow the f**k up like snoop '93-'94.The album is knockin' from what I've heard of it( night&day is the shzzznitttt).Promotion plays a part but this is more than your typical cd (2-3 good songs)plus a fresh face (not to knock the vets) is a plus.MTV will be on his nuts and you know that equals sales.
