If this info is true....

Worse debut in years?  That's a really stupid comment.  First of BOBW and Unplugged both sold well below this, and those numbers are huge.  Seriously-if you dont like the album--FINE..but to say those numbers are bad is just really sad.

King Suge: don't wanna get into an argument with you as usual cuz i dont have time for bullshit, but in reality this will be Jigga's worst debut in a long time.  The blueprint sold 450,000 first week, while Blueprint 2 is on pace for 700,000 (meaning only 350,000 cuz its a double album).  Plus, you cant really count an Unplugged cd as those never sell as well as normal albums.  
   Still, a pretty nice first week for jay, but he needed to have a video out byt now to put up major first week sales.......maybe once more of the general public hears BOnnie and CLyde 03 and see the video, his salesd will go through the roof.

So, in actuality, this album is Jigga's worst debut in years.............so Militant Tech isnt that stupid after all.  And this has nothing to do with me liking the album (it has some hot songs for sure)....

Oh princess..you REALLY shouldnt have responded back...you REALLY shouldnt have.

Time to humiliate this bitch ass...

(straight from www.hitsdailydouble.com)

Indeed, Jay-Z’s latest Roc-A-Fella/IDJ opus, The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse is blowing retail minds after one day in the street, with early reports from national accounts indicating it should sell over 600k for the week.

That’s well ahead of all expectations, but there’s more: Huge demand for the record is exceeding the current supply. If stock problems can be solved quickly, Jay-Z’s first week tally could end up being well over 700k.

Either way, it’s enough to guarantee the IDJ marquee rap star a #1 debut on next week’s chart, according to the pundits who punditize on such things. Or is it punditate? Pundificate?

Anyhow, those pundits are guessing that the 8 Mile soundtrack, which will have the benefit of a full week of sales with the movie in theaters, won’t keep pace with the Z. Just how well the Eminem will do this week remains to be seen, however.


From this article thats obviously not doing the doubling of the album.  If the CD was selling so poorly as bitchass Teecee wants to think..would it be and i fucking quote "Blowing retailers mind"..would it be and again bitch--i quote--"Deman exceeding supply"...lol-get off my dick

The cd does not count as double by soundscan...Jigga realistically is selling 700,000...Only the RIAA doubles it when it certifies it...Pac's All Eyez ON Me has SOUNDSCANNED 5 million but RIAA has certified it 10XPlat...Jigga is doing 300k probably in NYC alone...

I anxiously await Teecee replying.  He tried to expose the King and made himself look 3/4 retarded.  LOL..Jigga is gonna got platinum plus this week despite the demand being higher than the supply. DAMMIT--tell me Jigga isnt running shit now.  Seriously--I am awaiting Teecees response and apology :)  Ill be here all night..

stupid? whats stupid is you comparing BOBW and Unplugged to a solo Jigga joint

BOBW- no promotion, huge scandal

BitchTech..heres the bottom line.

Jigga is well on his way to selling over 600,000 copies...700,000 copies if they can get teh supply up with the damand.  Thats somewhere between 1.2 million and 1.4 million.  Hate me now..

This damned forum ruined my last post.  Anyways-BitchTech..sunshine..the CD is going to sell over 600,000 copies..700,000 if the supply can meet up with the damnad.  Thats between 1.2 million and 1.4 million discs sold.  Those are bad numbers?  LOL--you seriously are a worthless piece of shit.

You can hate me now..

Hey King SUge, i tried to come at you civilized, but you gotta turn everything into bullshit and dissing; if you always want drama, so be it, i am not biting this time.  I know you are sitting at your keyboard "anxiously awaiting my reply", so here it is: if he really is selling 700,000 first week, props to him, my bad i thought it was doubled, ok?

I never said Jigga wasn't running shit by the way, and i like Jay z and his new album is pretty good so its not about hating or whatever you think man.  I think Bonnie and Clyde 03 is a great single (not my kinda thing though) and i expected Jigga to sell major units)....

So, i don't think i am 3/4 retarded, in fact i got a university degree.  What is retarded is you calling me a bitch and a princess, and thinking you run shit, and that you are the king.  If the internet makes you feel like you got all the power, than i guess i can give you that cuz you obviously ain't got much going on elsewhere.  peace King SUge

I predict it will sell between 400 and 600 thousand copies in the first week.  If it's more it's cause it's selling for $11 for a double (atleast that's what I hear).

I think Vol 2 sold about 400-500 in it's first week and it had 4 singles out before it was released.

Anyone else notice how every thread with King Suge in it turns into the same old sorry ass shit.  We need to quit feeding this guy's need for attention; lol he thinks he is the king of this shit because he pisses everyone off.  I'm just here to offer my opinion and learn from others, i am not here to "expose" others or call people "princess" or "bitch", so i am done with arguing with people who immediately resort to name-calling and praising themself when in a discussion.  peace king suge, relax a little

Post by: teecee on November 19, 2002, 07:30:14 PM
Nobody ever said Jigga was falling off COMMERCIALLY, they just want him to make the HIPHOP album he is capable.  I mean, i hate his new single, but even I know that it is his catchiest single yet and probably the most radio friendly song i have heard in years!  peace

He hasnt fallen off.  "Fallen off" is simply a matter of opinion, but you cant argue the FACTS.  If  a person says Jay Z has fallen off they take too much pride in their opinion because the numbers state otherwise.

You seriously mean that Nelly or Ja Rule is better than Ras Kass, Pharoahe Monch, Chino XL, Scarface etc.??
I can't see the logic in that statement AT ALL!

Believe or not some people don't care about the sales or how popular the artist is.  And if they say Jigga has fallen off they think that his material has gotten weaker.

I personally don't think Jigga has fallen off, he just slipped up and made a sub-par album.
