I just checked out hitsdailydouble and snoop dropped from #12 to #36 and only sold a horrible 70k this week. I know snoop is not goin to hit platinum and the sad thing is he may not even hit gold :-\ he has total of aboutt 250k so far and thats horrible. Snoop Dogg is dead, i think it's time for snoop to hang the mic up, and thas prolly the toughest thing i've ever said in my life considering he is my favorite artist of all time, but its the truth, i can't lie to myself anymore and neither should the other snoop fans.

Fa show

I think sales will pick up once "Beautiful" is released.

That's wack... you're giving up on your all time favorite just cuz he aint selling. Who gives a fuck how much he's selling.. I think as long as he feels good about tha music he's making he should keep making it. Unless you're only in it for tha hustle.. then maybe he needs to move on to something else.
Anywayz.. I doubt he wont go gold.. if he's already at 250k he's gonna go gold in a couple months for sure... Snoop is far from Dead... He's gonna be around for a while.. even if tha younger peeps dont bump his shit.. us older people know what's crackin'. Run DMC came out with a new cd about a year ago and I'm pretty sure that didnt sell shit neither... Run DMC is from way back in tha 80's and they're even still around.
I haven't even heard tha new Snoop yet. I'ma buy that shit this Thursday for sure though... Hopefully it's a coo' album.. tha single is alright.. it bumps.
-
nah he aint dead....he just got to go back to his roots.....*Cough*Dr. Dre*Cough*
-
This will be his first album not going platinum. I hope he goes at least gold. but i believe his sales will pick up some after his next single, at least i hope so. i think i'll clear my throat too *cough*Dr. Dre*cough*
;)

Why should he hang the mic up? Are you crazy? He could sell 100,000 copies and still make money.

U da man. Said just what I think... Plus, Snoop's only droppped 1 single! Thriller's the biggest selling album of all time, but it didn't even get big till the third single dropped, a year after it came out!

I doubt it...unless snoop starts making albums like doggystyle...people just ain't gonna be intrested in his shit anymore...he needs Dre...period.
-
Give up on the Dre thing...
Snoop *needs* to prove to himself and the industry he can stand on his own too without Dre.
You will not get another doggystyle out of Snoop.

why does he need to do this?....there really is no reason for it.....stick to what works....thats what fucks shit up alot of times.....snoop on his own is alright....snoop with dre is bangin.....shit why not have dre....and he knows that people want that shit.....thats my opinion....
-
nah he aint dead....he just got to go back to his roots.....*Cough*Dr. Dre*Cough*
Word. And we aren't giving up on Snoop because he isn't selling, we are giving up on him because Doggy's All Stars and Paid the Cost to Be the Boss are straight WACK!!!!!!!!!!!
-
and i aint expecting a doggy style people keep talkin on that shit too....nah it aint like that...i just want a banging album....i was perfectly happy with Top Dogg and with Tha Last Meal......
-
Why do people care so much about the album... first off check this...
Top Dogg came out with terrible sales... due to the first single "G Bedtime Stories" ... no one could dig that song... about 5 months later they released "B Please" and the album started selling like crazy... and has gone 2x platinum... just give it time... it's only been out a week... damn!

U said it man. Exactly what I was thinking.
The album could still pick up in the sales department, but if it doesn't, look at the bright side: it's a clear message for Snoop what not to do again in the future. Like I said a bunch of times before: I like the album, I got faith in it, but ultimately Snoop does need to go back to his roots, to that West Coast gangsta sound.

Exactly, I agree.

word the fact that snoop aint going platinum should prove hopw much of a boss he is....250 K? fuck thats disgusting....nl top dogg was in the same situation but at least that had a B Please to drive it to platinum...whats the next single? beautiful? disgusting
-
snoops gonna go plat
-
I don't reckon releasing 'beautiful' is gonna rescue the c.d like 'b please' did as that song is shit, it's not the neptunes' best beat and pharrel's voice gets on my tits, especially with him saying "there's just something about you" all through it. Songs like 'ballin' or 'hourglass' could save it.
-
Snoops album is gonna go plat...The first Eastsidaz album went plat and sold only 100,000 the first week...Snoop's at about 250k after only 2 weeks...He won't go double but he should sell between 1-1.5 million...I don't think it's time for him to hang it up, LL Cool J has been in the game almost 20 years and even though he ain't selling millions of albums he still goes at least gold and sometimes plat...Snoop has never sold Doggystyle numbers ever Since Doggfather came out it's been 1.5-2 million for all his solo albums...
-
Snoop not going plat?????
Who cares for god sakes ppl Bone ain't going plat and they dropped a cool album.
:'(
-
173,000 plus 70,000 thats 200G's already, thats pretty close to gold already.

problem is there is no "B Please" like track on this latest album which could save sales
-
the problem is that its a terrible first single and there is waay too much competition right now with all of the heavy hitters releasing albums right now
-
I dont really care it goes platinum or not, Im feeling the album. I think "from the chuuuch" is banging but it should not have been first. I think "the one and only" shoulda been first, witta real street video, not some clown stuff. But "if" beautiful blows up that still does not mean the album will sell more. He will hit gold by the end of December or early Janaury. Maybe plat. buy March. But snoop has over 30 platinum plac's so he probally don't give a fuck.
P.S I hope on the next track that he gets back with Dre like he said he would and leaves jelly roll alone. he also gave props to Dre and Xzibit on Direct effects the other day. Snoop wit no Dre is like Gang Starr wit no Premo, Outkast wit no Organized Noize, Xzibit wit no Liks, you get the picture.
