thats pretty sad that the most known rappper from the west has only gone gold. Snoop Dogg will eventually go platinum i think but he is really slipping sales wise. I hope Beautiful BLOWS THE FUCK UP and helps snoop sell his usual 2x platinum, but it probably won't.

well he is IMO at least one of the most well known rappers from the west if not the most and probably is equally known around the world as much as 2pac and Dre are, and his sales are really low.

hmmm i wonder how long its going to take to sell another 500,000 copies

Actually 2Pac's Until The End Of Time reached 3 platinum albums. And it is West Coast. And Better Dayz, released the same day of Snoop (but with the worse promotion ever, since i've heard it aint out yet in a lot of Nations in Europe..) is already gold and close to platinum. It is in its fifth week on the charts, in position 15 on the Billboard 200 (3rd on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts). Let's give props to Tupac, please. The West aint only Snoop. If he aint platinum, MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE DISAPPOINTED WITH HIS ALBUM?
-
snoop should go platium in no time..
-
Some people juss cant people without talkin about Pac... leave his nuts alone
-
Dont trip yall....
Snoop will bounce to platinum.... I mean its not easy now without Dre on his back..... he's now 1 step back again..... he needs some time to get the lost step back.....and he will be on top of da game again....Hes Snoop Dogg.......Big Snoop Dogg........everybody knows dat fuckin name...

Hopefully his next single will blow up the sales a little. Would be cool with another 2002 platinum rap album from the left coast. Much respect to 'Pac, altough personally, I say that Afeni should let him rest in peace and quit tryin' to fuck up his memory. No one needs Better Dayz to remember Pac really. Whatever..
-
This should at least motivate Snoop to do a better job next time, whenever that is...
-

I just corrected him. I didnt start the topic talking about how good Pac is or about how much Better Dayz sold. Clear enought?

Snoop hasn't gone double since Da Game Is To Be Sold....

Oh.. if you say it like that, then you are a hater (LOL). But hey, hold on.. nobody gives a fuck about sales, right? (when we talk about Snoop, obviously!). LOL.

Nobody called u a hater... he were talkin bout a rapper who still raps, not a dead man.. anywayz, nobody said that nobody gives a fuck about sales here, so get ur mind right
-
If so, then it's wrong to say only 2 gold albums in 2002 for the West. If statistics and sales really matter, then it's 2 gold albums and a triple-platinum album. Dead or alive, it doesnt matter: Pac still screams Westside in half of the tracks of Better Dayz so he IS Westside. Or am i wrong?
Alive rappers? Only Dre and Master P can sell in the West (or not-East). Snoop sold a lot with them. And he sold NOTHING without them. A provocation? Maybe. The truth? Yes.
-
lol at the snoop not being a big name, the mothafucka dropped a terrible single and still is gold already, he will go plat no problem, and if he drops lollipop as a single maybe 2 times plat
-
Yeah, and maybe 1 day i'll play for the Lakers! Snoop never made a platinum album without Dre or Master P. Now you talking about 2 platinums? LOL.
-
beautiful isnt gonna blow up ...its average...at best..and the rest of the album sucks so sales are gonna slow down...platinum maybe...just cause of snoops name....hopefully snoop learned his leason and makes a good album next time around
-

Tha Doggfather went double...No Dre, No P
-
Sad...

are you on crack? let me break this down for you:
doggystyle- dre overlooking snoops best album by far 5 or 6 times plat
doggfather- no dre at all snoop is goes double plat
da game is to be told- master p in charge and snoop makes his worst album by far, it goes 2x plat but gets terrible reviews
top dogg- under no limit, but very little influence from master p snoop basically calls the shots on it, goes plat
eastsidaz- snoop is in charge and is in the group, goes plat no dre or p
last meal- 2x plat, with no p influence snoop lets him be on a song, but master p has no influence on the project it's snoop he claims doggystyle throughout
paid da cost- snoops in charge makes some bad decisions, but will still most likely go plat
........as you see dre was in charge once and obviously helped alot, p was really in charge only once and ruined snoops album the others put out on no limit had little to do with p, and were the only listenable things coming out on no limit
doggfather

I am not on crack. You said nothing different than what i did, really. I never wrote Master P's productions made Snoop's albums classics. And i never wrote Dre's productions made Snoop's albums classics (even if in this case it's true). We was talking about "promotion". I just wrote that, without Master P (i mean No Limit) and Dr. Dre (i mean Death Row, not Aftermath) Snoop Dogg has never made a platinum album. And that's nothing but the truth, so asking me if i am on crack really doesnt have sense.
Talking about The Doggfather, yes it went 2x platinum and Dre didnt produce it. But if the theme of the discussions is "how well the album sold", then it was been easly the biggest disappointment ever. Just consider Death Row was at the top of promotion in 1996 and that Snoop's previous (and only) album was been probably the best one ever (so he had all eyez on him). And consider that 2Pac used his chance in the best way possible, by going 9x platinum (certified on June 18, 1998. But i've heard it's a diamond album now. 10x sold, certified in 2002) with All Eyez On Me and 4x platinum (certified on June 15, 1999) with Makaveli. In 1996, man. The same year Snoop released Tha Doggfather. So?

Sad...
I kno. "Numbers" are really sad sometimes. But the saddest thing is people who doesnt read posts right and make comments like this one. People with 10x platinum posts and -21 karma, i mean. Maybe there's a reason.

What's even sadder than that is people who get a thrill out of dissing people they don't even know over the net...PeACe

alright i see what your saying now but you didn't explain yourself in your other post, i totally agree with you that snoop doesn't know how to promote his shit no doubt, he picks terrible singles all the time, i thought you were talking about the making of the albums and shit
-
so we have a dead man selling the most records in 2002 in the west?...Still pretty sad...Xzibit and Snoop dropped 2 dissapointing albums, hopefully Detox will drop this year and bring back the West Coast back on top...
-

Infact. And just for the record, i didnt diss you. You did. Anyway.. there's no reason to continue, so peace.

snoops album was fuckin dope i dunno what everyone was complainin about

Nobody is saying it wasnt.

nice
-
snoops album was far from dope.....i am still sooo disappointed in that album....its garbage...and sales are showing that
-
I thought the album was cool...Snoop just needs to get back with Dre and make more dope shit...
-
Better Dayz is double platinum, according to my friend who works for Soundscan. And thats completely believable, because Ja Rule's album is platinum, and Pac has outsold him big time, so......yea.
-
Eh, how come I just checked the Billboard charts and neither Snoop nor Pac has gone gold? The chart doesn't list sales, but albums that are plat have a triangle beside it(ie. Eminem Show has a triangle and a 8 for 8x plat) and gold albums have a circle beside it. Neither Snoop nor Pac have that.
Personally I just think record sales in general are down. Based on the Billboard chart (which gets their info from soundscan, so it must be pretty accurate), not even huge pop stars like J.lo has has hit gold yet, same with Nas, Busta. In all fairness I think music cd's in general are not selling like they should. So y'all should just ease up on Snoop, regardless what you think of the album. Personally I think think the album is fuckin' amazing, probably his most consistent album since Doggfather. But that's just my opinion, and I know y'all are gonna shit all over it, but hey, to each his own.
-
Pac's album is a double album. Sales count twice, so he'll have to go plat to match snoop's gold.
I wish more people had been BLESSED by snoop's album, LOL. I thought it was great, guess people are sleepin' on the big dogg. He's still doing better than everybody else out west (except pac and dre).
-
The album was ok. Yall act like it was some trashy shit and you have to skip through all the tracks everytime you listen to it, but come on yall...it has like 7 or 8 good tracks and the rest is average..but he will go platinum, at least. ..the ones who dont like it are the die hard west coast heads, but face it, he will never go back to that era
-
I really hope for Snoop it will go at least platinum. After the poor sales of Dogghouse All Stars, he def needs a platinum album, or Dogghouse will be just "another average label", talking about impact in the music industry. I mean.. 2 consecutive albums not platinum. And the next albums are Latoya, Soopafly, E-White & Kokane? (i dont know the order). So 6 consecutive non-platinum albums? That's a real problem, if you think about it. Expecially cause Dogghouse aint an indi label! They spend money promoting albums, etc.. And to say "i dont care. I care about music" is good only talking from the side of the fans, cause i'm sure Snoop is a lil bit worried about it. And i'm worried a lil bit too, about the West Coast rap in general. West Coast needs Snoop triple platinum. Period.
-
Paid tha cost to be tha boss, is alright, he ain't nuthin compared to his other albums, well better than da game is to be sold no told, or whatevea its called. but he got some cutz on it tho, but mostly some whack ish. But maybe theres enough snooper dooper fans out there for him. He needs them, he quit the dank n tha drank. So he needs to depand on something. the sales from his snopdevile ain't comin in so....he betta think of something quik or jus sit be back and wait for something to happen.

Snoop's album just got certified the other day, so it should show up on the next chart...Alot of times the record company will wait until the album definitely goes gold or plat to certify it, rather than basing in it on shipped copies...Snoop has shipped platinum but has actually sold 500,000 according to Soundscan...

I'd say the best way to judge the status is with the RIAA.
