------------------------

The Game's third album, LAX, is still alive. In its third week, the Compton rapper's album sold 49,240 copies, putting his total at just 377,100.

---------------------

i think LAX will make gold, but doesnt look like this will go platinum

He needs to drop a Video for State Of Emergency asap! That shit bangs. And with Ice Cubes presence, it's sure to get some more heads interested in the album.

^ Best song on the album but no single material. "Money", "Touch Down" or "Gentlemens Affair" are the best choices.

I think "Angel" should be his net single. I love that track...

For 3 weeks 300 plus some change is great, lol. another few weeks and yes he'll prolly go gold, and by 1st quarter he'll prolly be a couple hundred thow away from plat', but eventually he will go plat'. camera phone has a video on the way right?

Its gone gold on the worldwide circuit but still 300 for 3 weeks ain't too good

he'll go gold in the US prolly in a week or two but he better get a hot video out for his next single if he wants to go plat

Damn, he's not gold yet?  That's very surprising.  "My Life" is still moving up the charts so releasing another single right now would hinder the success of "My Life" but maybe it's needed to get more sales in.  I would say the song with Ne-Yo would be a good single to get a wider audience.  I'm still a little unsure about how "Money" would turn out as a single.  I guess I would have to listen to the edited version first.

"Angel" or "Money" would make great singles.  "Angel" has the Chicago appeal with a Westcoast LA beat.  It reminds me of a "True Crime: Streets of LA" type track.  I think he could pull the Chi-town crowd with that jam and move more units (especially with Common on there).  And Money is just a great all around track.

I would do "Angel" for the third single and "Money" for the fourth.  The album is a good look the only problem in there is I think he needs a couple more club bangers on there and pimp tracks (he should have put that "Camera Phone" on there, DJ Khaled track, the Akon track, and 5 Lil Wayne tracks he recorded with him).  His last two albums had more club tracks like "Wouldn't Get Far," "How We Do," "Put You On The Game," "Higher," "Lets Ride," "Dreams."

I love that "We Ride" track he did with Hussalah, that's a pure classic banger, that should have been on there.  

I'm gonna be honest and have to tell you guys something -- he really should have made this a double album.  He's got so much material he could have easily pulled 31 classic tracks together.  I think he would have but he wanted to keep the price down on the album because of the bad market and economy.  He needs a little bit more club appeal and pimp tracks -- this is definitely the darkest of his 3 albums but it's another classic!
