lol +1

Make it 306 when I purchase it next month. He'll go gold by the end of the year. To release music, you need good promotion, and artist/affiliates support for it to sell decent numbers. What is the single of this album? Oh wait there isn't one!

The bigger problem is the album has shitty distribution. Wideawake went from having a decent tie-in with Best Buy to not even having their releases stocked there. I bought the album from an online retailer but have yet to see a store that actually carries and that includes a few mom and pop's. If it sold that few units, I can only imagine that they didn't ship many out.

 It sucks that it only sold just over 300 copies.  They should have offered fans a better project and it would have sold better.  The sucky thing now though is that in their minds their going to equate that as people aren't interested in buying albums by Crooked I.  So there probably went our chances of hearing "Untouchable."   :-\

did you not hear the "I'm Ready" song posted on Crooked's site?


i'd say a few THOUSAND potential buyers heard that one.



funny how an album with no promotion outside of Dubcc and no promotion from it's artist sells 300 copies in a week.

lol why do I expect something along the lines of

"Nah, Hoodstar got put out and it really hurt my steam in releasing my debut, So I'm going to have to start from scratch. Since Slaughter House is nearing it's 3rd release, I'll concentrate on that and touring." - Crooked I (Some time in the future).

Because you're absolutely right.  Regardless of the excuse he chooses, it will always be something.
