or Doctor's Advocate ain't going platinum.
that strip club shit was trash and never took off. you don't hear his songs on the radio anymore if your outside of los angeles. "wouldn't get far" was suppose to be his next single but dude is taking too long to drop the video. people are no longer checkin for him at the moment and thats Games fault for slacking off. "wouldn't get far" could be big especially since kanye is on it, that would open alot of doors but as of this moment Doctor's Advocate turned out to be a flop even tho it was a hell of an album.

-
I said it before, and I'll say it again...NO WAY "LETS RIDE" WAS SINGLE MATERIAL, THATS PURE BULLSHIT AINT NOTHING SPECIAL BOUT THE SONG...then they will release WOuldnt get far, but its gonna create some buzz for Kanye's graduation album
-
Yup.. Exactly..
then they will release WOuldnt get far, but its gonna create some buzz for Kanye's graduation album
-
they need to relese a double single
around the world and wouldnt get far
otherwise game aint seeing 1 mill in sales
although he already shipped 1.1
-
I think he is platinum worldwide and about 750k in the US, that ain't bad in today's market, Wouldn't Get Far has been getting alot of play on Hot 97 in NYC for a while so that's a good sign since they rarely play any west coast music, he'll definitely go platimum probably by next month, you also gotta realize that gold is like the new plat not many rappers went plat last year only TI and Jigga
-
:sign_lastweek:
-
games wack, w. out production work his shit is boring, AZ BEST LYRICIST ALIVE!
-
you also gotta realize that gold is like the new plat not many rappers went plat last year only TI and Jigga
exactly, sales are down lately... he'll go plat
-
Why do you base the success of Game's album on sales? Whether it sells 2 mil or 750k it is still going to sound the same. Some of the best albums I own won't even sell half of what Game has already moved..........Little Brother's "The Listening" for example. He has sold enough to where he isn't going to get dropped and he will have an adequate budget for his next album.
-
Man and the funny shit about all this is that Game was all over the radio, TV, magazines wolfing shit about he going to sell a mill the first week.....Man yeah right he haven't even hit a mill in 3 months yet, see the problem with this dude is he got a horrible image, he need to stop acting like his shit don't stink with all the big headed talk and start being a little more humble, and stop trying to look so tough every chance he get. People would fuck with his shit more, a lot of people just won't buy the album because he was acting so big in them interviews.....

Game and 50 pop a lot of shiet about how important record sales are. Now its backfiring on both of them. Their own faults, no one forced them to get all big-headed.

filming for the video of 'wouldnt get so far' starts tuesday !!! for a project which flopped game aint doin bad .. looks at bustas album in comparison .. record companies realize albums arent selling what they used to .. For Game to go platinum in todays record buying climate and without dre and 50s involvement is a good effort ..add to the fact he is a west coast artist with a single feat kanye on the way and the boys career is far from done !!!
-
Only
Jay Z
T.I
Ludacris
and Young Joc(with a monster single)
Have sold more than Game in 2006.
Food for thought niggaz.
-
Please Xplain me how Game album flopped, he's going platinum... which is a very good thing regarding the current standards of the industry... shit even Luda who got 4 multiplatinum in a row has to wait 4 months before his cd goes plat, WITH a hit single
-
So if Eminem or 50's next albums go 2x plat, you'll say they haven't flopped? You always have to judge soundscan flops by the standards of the respective artists, and not even selling half the units your debut sold with a great album is something I'd consider a disappointment. That isn't taking away the fact that many rappers would be happy with Game's sales. The fact remains that Game is not happy about them, which is completely logical.
-
yeah i wonder why's it taking him so long.
-
^^^^ Well you got a point.. sales could have been better, but Geffen didn't do well when it comes to the timing of the singles, a vid for "Wouldn't Get far" should already have been on rotation 2 or 3 weeks ago..
-

Game should have shot the vid before touring, that was a mistake...

Exactly, Games been averaging about 40,000 a week which means he'll probably hit platinum by the end of next month. Game was an idiot for saying 1 mill the first week even though I doubt he really believed it, but him going platinum with no dre behind him, 50 writing his hooks, and an appearance by Em I would say Games album is a success. Game already outsold Busta who had 5 videos and a full album Executive Produced by Dr Dre.
-
^^And a Dr. Dre video appearance

Personally, I hate that "Wouldn't Get Far" track, in my opinion its the worst song on the album. I think "Too Much" would have been a much better choice for a single.
