Tell them to drop an album with more than 4 songs I can listen to without wanting to puncture my eardrums and then I'll buy it

This is the digital age, so it's not really surprising...

Everyone pick up a copy though!

Let's say they sell 35,000 copies in total.  They make $5 per album.  That's $175,000.  There's two of them, so let's say they split it halfway.  That's $87,500 for each of them.  After taxes it's like $50,000.  For like 11 real tracks, eight good songs.  That's pretty good to me :raisetheroof:

I don't think you represent the population of Maine. Most people in this world don't follow West Coast hip hop online like the esteemed members of dubcc. Since they didn't really have money for promo, where else are you going to get your info?

It's actual an solid album especially to bump in your car. I downloaded mine off Amazon and those numbers likely dont count any digital sales..

Amazon Results:

its an independent release if im not mistaken, they should be gettin more than that

DJ Quik would have earned the majority of it, and Kurupt just get fed the bread crumbs (aka chump change)
Title: Re: the real numbers on what dj quik and kurupt really did
Post by: MoneyMack on June 16, 2009, 09:47:24 PM
This album is great to me....

A few things to take into consideration:

- Independent Release
- Not highly promo'd in toward the East Coast/South
- It's only the first week of sales
- Only the real fans have copped it or even supported it in anyway.

-many might cop it when they come to their town

but like many have said they werent feelin it so that could explain the numbers be a lil low vs assumin a gang of people downloadin it

How do these numbers not surprise you? No hit single, little or no promotion. I would bet the vast majority, over 99.99% of people who buy CD's at all, even know who DJ Quik even is, let alone know this album was being released. All these guys that were huge in the 90's are nobodies to todays fans. Anyone under the age of 20 probably has even heard a Quik record. It's sad, but these legends aren't gonna sell shit to the youth today.

Don't blame downloading, I could easily point to others who are far outselling this album right now even with downloading. The album wasn't up to scratch, quite frankly, and that's why it hasn't been bought. I'm actually suprised that the reception towards it on here has been so gracious.

True, n that's jus fuckin horrible too. I'd even push the age down to 18 & below. Reason being....I'm 22 n grew up off our good shit in the 90's at a real young age.

How do these numbers not surprise you? No hit single, little or no promotion. I would bet the vast majority, over 99.99% of people who buy CD's at all, even know who DJ Quik even is, let alone know this album was being released. All these guys that were huge in the 90's are nobodies to todays fans. Anyone under the age of 20 probably has even heard a Quik record. It's sad, but these legends aren't gonna sell shit to the youth today.

True, n that's jus fuckin horrible too. I'd even push the age down to 18 & below. Reason being....I'm 22 n grew up off our good shit in the 90's at a real young age.

Shits sad tho non-the-less
mack, that just means you're the exception.

i don't know, you talk to some rappers & they just say "fuck sales, if it sells it sells. this is for the fans; i just love making music".

i don't know if they expected to sell or not, but going into it they should of known they didn't have near enough hype to sell half decently.

but IMO thats the problem if the album was halfway decent (in a westcoast mindstate lol) then it would have sold more than what it sold
the way they let the singles go to begin wit ruined the albums marketin plan IMO
so it wasnt even the hype it was everything IMO
but damn yeah i doubt for real quik did this on some"lets jus do this jus cuz" considerin it looks like he put in more work and more funds
