If Cube pushes 70.000 units independent, Game has to move ATLEAST 300.000 units first week, anything below that is a failure.

what the hell does game have to do with this? and how did you come to the conclusion that if game doesnt sell 230k more then ice cube its a failure?

Kid Rocks album came out soon after Kanye and 50s and he's doing 100K almost a year later. That's impressive. I guess he was right when he said his album would sell more in the long run.  One of his singles musta caught fire, anybody know which one?
 BTW, this is a reason why record labels and artists need to keep pushing their album even if it doesn't have a great opening week. I dont even think Kid Rock broke 200K his opening week wtih Rock N Roll Jesus and yet he's platinum plus doing 100K a week now. Gotta keep promoting your shit no matter what.

I posted this in the wrong thread, I was reading u'r thread on Game's first week sales and then saw this thread and got shit mixed up. I didn't mean it's a failure, shits banging so let me rephrase it: L.A.X. deserves to sell ATLEAST 300.000 copies first week, with all the promo Game doing, two singles ALMOST blowing up, shit in my eyes it should push 300.000 copies if Cube can do almost 100.000 independent ... we'll see though.

Congrats to Cube for making a dope album no matter what the haters say and pushing those units.

This cd reminded of old school Cube with the lyical content and going hard on shit. He switched it up from LNCL and to me it was  a dope album.
