SMH, this is pathetic
and don't tell this shit that they don't care how it sells, this is a complete utter bomb
didn't 213 Hard Way push like 90,000 first week when the video came out like a week before it dropped? lol

I'm having issues understanding this sales thing. Ice cube didn't sell very well, his single isn't blowing up, e-40 did good.., Cali iz active flopped, Just add water flopped, Trauma/Warren G/Mack 10 all did poorly. I can't invision a west coast album (other then Game/Dre/Snoop) ever going gold, ever again. Sales are so messed up these days, if 'Go to Church' doesn't blow up I have a hard time imagining what would.

TRAUMA poor?
it sold 100.000 copies
-
Why are you guys so worried about sales? If the album is good then don't worry who else copped it.
How is Ice Cube doing poorly when he is at 350k sold on an independent release? His record is getting alot of spins in LA. Reason why it isn't getting major play all over is because he has no major label putting money behind the single to get it played.

I'm having issues understanding this sales thing. Ice cube didn't sell very well, his single isn't blowing up, e-40 did good.., Cali iz active flopped, Just add water flopped, Trauma/Warren G/Mack 10 all did poorly.

good point...that's why we need people to come up something new for the west coast.

I think it's safe 2 say Busta won't drop another album on the Math ...

The only thing you have to understand is , outside a few superstars (Jay, Em, 50, Kanye, Dre.. Snoop) and the South nobody has a chance to go platinum now.. nobody is sellin shit

I can't invision a west coast album (other then Game/Dre/Snoop) ever going gold, ever again. Sales are so messed up these days, if 'Go to Church' doesn't blow up I have a hard time imagining what would.
The only thing you have to understand is , outside a few superstars (Jay, Em, 50, Kanye, Dre.. Snoop) and the South nobody has a chance to go platinum now.. nobody is sellin shit
nobody is making good music.

I'm having issues understanding this sales thing. Ice cube didn't sell very well, his single isn't blowing up, e-40 did good.., Cali iz active flopped, Just add water flopped, Trauma/Warren G/Mack 10 all did poorly.

I disagree. Plenty of people are making good music but no one is making poppy enough albums to continue to sell outside of their lead single. The Gnarles Barkley CD is GREAT and had a very popular single but that won't even hit gold. Warren G's last album was a solid album but didn't do anything. Ice Cube's album is DOPE but it is not like he has 3-4 real pop type singles on there. The first two songs that came off that album were about color in america and speaking on why people in the inner city are thugs. That is a far cry from the Candy Shop's and lean wit it type songs.
Again though, just because an album sells millions of records does not make it a good album. It makes the artist and label more rich but none of us see that money.

i don't know man....i know what ya saying...and i feel they don't got that creativity no more...
i know we gotta be on present time music..but damn...lot of music out there just don't make sense...not all..but a lot.
-
You guys wanted this album to flop, so you could throw it in any and everyones face, yet you all claim to be from Cali. I bet not even half the people on this forum even went out andBOUGHT the album. You had the luxury of hearing the album before it even offically dropped, but imagined if you didn't have that luxury and could only hear the album if you actually bought it or some one burned it for you like bacc in the day. There's only a few people going platinum theez days anyway, Cali ain't active becuz you niggaz don't want it to be active..Dipset loving muthafuccaz

I see what you are saying but agree to disagree.
Creativity is not why people are failing to reach platnium status. Back in the mid 90s they could put out harder hip hop and still sell. Now you have to have a poppy single or 3 and you have to have a club joint and a love song for the ladies. Requirements to go platnium in hip hop have changed. If you have noticed the least creative albums/songs are making the most noise. Laffy Taffy? Lean Wit It? Those songs are far from creative.
Ice Cube's album is much more creative and its not going to go platnium, would be lucky to hit 500k. The Gnarles Barkley CD is honestly one of the more creative albums I've heard in the last 2-3 years and it is not going to hit gold either. Yung Joc is going to go platnium tho lol

SMH, this is pathetic
and don't tell this shit that they don't care how it sells, this is a complete utter bomb
didn't 213 Hard Way push like 90,000 first week when the video came out like a week before it dropped? lol
you're a fuckin idiot.
the reason it didn't sell is cuz nobody whos who the fuck tha dogg pound is for most part. older cats know but high school kids across america dont know who the fuck kurupt or daz are. why are u comparing 213? snoop, warren & nate. all of them are reconizable and people know who they are. daz hasn't been on tv for over 10 yrs so this is the first time alot of people who dont know there westcoast history see who he is. same can be said for kurupt. kurupt hasn't been in much spotlight since 95. the new generation don't know these fools and all there music stays local because of songs like "cali iz active"..your only gonna get so far with that title. even Power106 doesn't play "cali iz active" and they sure dont play it in the bay area... it doesn't really help when radio isn't playing it at all & neither does tv so there poor numbers seem totally right. now stop crying about it u fuckin little hoe.
-
LOL @ alot of people talking that E-40 flopped shit, compare him to alot of the other major label albums. He's still pushing steady units every week.

your right, people dont know... and its fucked up cuz they been makin dope cds for a long time, yeah they aint lyrical or nothin but the music is good.... i reccomend this cd to anyone. but ive been a fan for 15 years so ya know....
plus this album is gettin better to me everyday....

if u dont like the album why do you keep making threads about it?

Mobb deep 200,000 flopped big time

How are you guys saying that Gnarls Barkley is not going gold? All they need is 50k and they have it. And they have been selling 50k-60k a week. Yeah Tha Dogg Pound needs a new single and alot of other things because this album this floppin bad. Hardly any promotion. Cube has been promoting the hell out of LNCL and I think it will eventually go gold. Rap as a whole is not selling what is used to.

unless cube hits a wall, he will get gold which will be a tremendous accomplishment. same with gnarls barkley glad to see they doing their thang
if 40 water drops a solid 3rd single, he may have a chance at gold.....

lol@young joc...
but yeah..ya got point..the requirement changed....ya know the song "all for the money..it's all for the money" from toyota commerical?
haha..that's what it is these days.
ice cube's album is debatable...but that's another story..another time.

Last I checked it was sitting at 350k sold with the single dropping out of rotation slowly . It was doing 30k at that same time. Didn't realize what it is at until right now, so I stand corrected. As you can tell I don't pay much attention to record sales lol
Cube himself has been promoting LNCL. That is one person. He didn't have a national wide marketing campaign. You don't see a bunch of posters for his album on telephone poles and certainly not a bunch of in-store displays. He also hasn't really been on as many shows as he could to promote it. Lucky for him he is a star and he can make moves himself. Shit, the most advertisement I've seen for anything related to the album was a link on Myspace to watch the Go To Church video ;D

truly these rappers need to just sell like 450,000 to get certified gold
smh, we need to be graspin straws for plaques but damn times are ruff

hop off deeeeeez nutz you fuckin bitch
by saying that 213 was reconizable then DPG just goes to show you how fuckin stupid you are
no one except westcoast heads knew who the fukk 213 was and Warren G is on the same level as Kurupt and Daz, known only in Cali

Yeah right. There was one video from The CD, it was really supposed to be a SOUNDTRACK cd, so 200,000 on KOCH is good. Purple Haze got alot of Promotion and went Gold. The album wasnt garbage either. I bet you never even heard the cd..

PROBLEM iS--------------------
nobodys buying albums anymore...everybodys downloading and burning on to cd, bumping in there rides, system, whatever
back in the day, school kids who hardly have any money at all the 12-19 year olds would scrap up the change underneath the couches n what not to go out and buy the new busta, the new nelly, the DPG
you think some kids gonna spend 15$ on a cd + tax nowadays?? NAH the majority will just download it and press it
