T.I. shipped another 175,249 this week, landing the #1 spot for the 2nd straight week on the charts...the debuting smashing pumpkins album couldn't take over T.I. for the #1 spot
Comparing how good 175,000 is, Jay-Z's Kingdom Come sold about 140,000 it's 2nd week...He's now at 644,227 total, and should be plat. in about 5 weeks or so

damn people STILL paying attention to album sales?

ofcourse..actually with the poor state sales are in these days, paying attention to them are more interesting than ever to see who:
A) can escape the poor climate sales are in
B) who flops

Sometimes it's hard not tooo ;)
But on the real, I'm not a fan cuz of an artist is hittin Plat for every Album!!!
i'm a fan cuz i like the music the said Artist is bringing out!!
That said, T.I is certainly making a lot of noise, not to notice that his album migt go Plat!!
Guess that's Good for him,his camp & his fans!!
But certainly not for me
But Props are due for T.I, even though i'm not a fervant fan like ma Homie Lunatic 63 is!!
Blu!

im also not a fan because an artist hits platinum status
T.I. has been my fav rapper since Trap Muzik dropped, (he was nearing the top of my list when bone crusher's "never scared" dropped)...I immediately copped his debut album "i'm serious" (which flopped BAD may i remind you) and then I ordered Trap Muzik from U.S.A. and paid over 30$ for it...That album did ok, hit plat. status after a year and change at least...Most will consider it a gold album
He only was recognized as a plat. artist in 2004, 2 and a half years after i had really been bumping his shit, and for about 2 years of that calling him "my fav artist"
Most of my fav. rappers actually flop (knoc-turn'al, xzibit, dogg pound and so on) so clearly i am not a fan of T.I. simply because he sells...but when 1 of my fav artist sells, i am ofcouse going to be happy for the success they are enjoying
His album is DEF. going platinum...he's well past half-way there, after only 2 weeks
and This post was not 2 "take shots" at you Blu, we are cool as u well know... just clarifying where i stand ;)

t.i. fell off when he hit platimun status in my opinion.

Well as a fan of any artist,one would expect their fave Artist to Sell.
Some artist especially in the Rap world can actually achieve that!
So folks like me are content with an album that is banging and enjoyable!
That said the hope of actually seeing your fave Artist get world wide recognition never lives your mind-After All they worked hard on their album.
As for "taking shots", nah Lunatic it had nothing to do with that, i was just explaining stuff, getting my point across. My First sentence was "Sumtimes it's Hard Not too"
Well put it this way, I'll be surprised if it does not go Plat, it' s making alotta numbers, it' could go either way, it could fizzle down or spiral outta control
Lunatic i had no idea that Trap Music was a flop??
I actually Like "Urban Legend"
hey You Know What, i asked ya recently who "Big Kuntry" was..he is the part of the group PSC, who featured on T.I Limelite track, it just didn't register at the time of the post.
However Props on your Post Lunatic, we still cool!!
Blu!

no, i didn't mean i thought u were taking shots at me, i thought maybe u would of taken my post as a shot at u, that's why i clarified i didnt' intend to
Trap Muzik was not a flop, that's the album that went plat. after a while...his first album "i'm serious" was a flop...it sold somethin like 300,000, and it was on a major label (arista) and had a single ft. beenie man, which was prod. by the neptunes
yea Big Kuntry is from the P$C, and is on Limelight, that is correct
other things with Big Kuntry:
T.I. Ft. Mac Boney & Big Kuntry - Asap (Remix)/Motivation
http://youtube.com/watch?v=SujNwATlxYk (Kuntry has the 3rd verse in asap remix)
T.I. Ft. Lil Scrappy & Big Kuntry - Im A King (Kuntry got the 3rd verse once agian)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=3nnWvTUCreI
P$C (T.I., Big Kuntry, Mac Boney, AK, C-Rod) Ft. Young Dro - Do Ya Thang
http://youtube.com/watch?v=BqP_8gkHdTQ (2 many verses in this video 4 me 2 count lol, u'll know kuntry when u see him, it says his name on the screen)
As a bonus, take the link 2 his myspace below, and the first track that plays is the OFFICIAL first single off his upcoming debut album...the song is called "that's right" and it features T.I., and is sure to be a hit in all the clubs, while not being labeled as a "cheesy" record

It's all women buying his cd's. Women don't spend time on the computer downloading stuff, they just aren't into it that deep. But they still buy from record stores.

Ya'll must be 12 years old then, cause anyone who's been around long enough and cared about real hip-hop doesn't give a damn about this garbage.

Who decides what is real hip-hop or not? Are you the referee of the genre? Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.

Okay.. I take back my statement.. because I was reading some stuff at work, from a hip-hop book written in 94 and they were talking about how the West Coast, and Snoop and Dre weren't real hip-hop and that gangsta rap wasn't real hip-hop.. and it made me think of this thread. Everyone is loyal to their generation, I guess.
Naw.. nevermind.. I changed my mind again.. T.I. is wack and 99% of his fans wear high heals.
-
lol@this thread!!!
Who cares if he goes Plat..
Dude is trash to me!!!
But guess everybody is entitled to their own Opinion!
Like sumbody here stated, who cares about Numbers, or if the album is gon go Plat??

Hey you entitled to your opinion, just like I am entitled to listen whatever I damn well please, and buy albums I want for that matter. I never said I was a die hard fan, I like his music along with the other 3000 plus albums I own. I listen to Pac, Nas, Jada, T.I. Scarface, Termanology, Joell Ortiz, Brother Ali, Eyedea & Abilities, Casual, Ikuestion the list goes on and on. and I ain't a 12 year old. Chill pops it's just music at the end of the day.

T.I. is among my fav rappers, a list that includes:
Xzibit
Ice Cube
Warren G
Snoop Dogg
DPG
Knoc-turn'al
Scarface
Dr. Dre
Don't question my taste in music, or make assumptions....It's natural for haters to come along when the dude is on top of the rap game

dope album

Does anybody know what the next single is ?

Does anybody know what the next single is ?
i've heard touch down...i couldn't believe T.I.'s 2nd week sales of 175,000 without the stength of a strong single..i knew his 1st week would be tremendous off his solid fanbase alone, but then i figured him to near 200,000 2nd week was nearly impossible without a monster single, yet he managed to do so..but it can't last forever, so he better drop a new single, sooner than later
-
The track "My Swag" with its Miami Vice vibe would be a cool choice for a single, I could imagine a great video for it.

yea i agree...same with touch down though

not saying that he doesn't DESERVE his sales because he is a cool rapper to listen to but LYRICALLY there are so many others in the game who are alot better than TI who can get some shine but PROPS anyway to him for selling
