WTF :o
-
Gnarls Barkley's album leaked almost 2 weeks ago. They pushed the date up to stop heavy bootlegging. So the release was really not advertised much for the new date.
-
y'all call fat joe a flop?? man, he's doin good compared to people like pete rock and hi-tek...both sold like 10k in their first week, THAT's a flop!
-
fat joe is indy, right? so he is getting a good kickback from these sales...better points than florida/most artists signed to a major are getting. joe could probably sell 200,000 and florida could go gold and joe would probably bank more $$ than him.

the unit got a lot of you all brainwashed. Since when does the amount of records you sell become directly proportionate to the quality of the music? Mc Hammer sold millions of records, (so did vanilla ice) but that doesnt mean they had classic albums.Hell, i dont even think paid in full by eric b and rakim went platinum. sales used to be a good way to tell how many people were interested in the music but now and days, that isnt true anymore. More albums get downloaded than actually purchased.

No it isn't. Fat Joe had a radio single with J.Holiday, a street single with Weezy and decent promotion and only sold 46000 first week. Pete Rock and Hi-Tek have no singles and only internet promotion.

Fat Joe sold his fat ass out to the south :D Florida > fat joes album .

That is still really dissapointing though. Both them albums are pretty good, whereas Fat Joe got a load of leftover beats by the sound of it. The Primo track aint bad but it sounds like a beat he just dug out of his recycle bin and gave it to Joe. But still the album aint that bad.
