With two New West albums dropping in a month, who album will sell more? And why? Whos album will be better?
-
I know sales dont matter, fuck sales blah blah.....Sales do matter if u want that artist to drop another cd.....So who u ghink will do better in sales? Jay Rock 5,8000
-
I gotta say Jay Rock. Glasses Malone's buzz is long gone, if there ever was a buzz. How much did his collabo album with Mack 10 sell?
-
At this point I would have to say Jay because outside of a couple videos here and there, there has been 0 promo for Glasses' album. Almost seems like he was just given a date so he can just drop the album already.
-
They'll probably sell about the same.
-
Money Music didn't get to Top 200 albums, so I guess Beach Cruiser will do less, around 5000

Yeah that's my thought as well. I actually copped money music couple weeks back and there some bangers on there m, but also a lot of duds, hope glasses album is dope though I don't see it being as good as rocks
-
yeah I agree with some of the other posters about them both selling about the same and not much promo for G. U would think that G would have somewhat of a push being that CM is behind him. But G has a few heaters that I recalled from the snippets I heard a few weeks ago. Regardless, I supported Rock, I'll be supporting Game and I'll be supporting Malone. Now if I could just get a studio album from Nipsey! :-\
-
They should do an album together. That track "Dollaz Make Sense" was sick.
-
dogg hardly anybody outside of cali knows glasses malone
-
Not feelin glasses I really tried 2...but jus don't like em the last song I actually bumped of his was 200, 300, and dinero...lol and those r old
-
I think it's coming out on the same day as Wayne so maybe they're thinking if the set G's cd next to Wayne's, it will get people to buy it.
-
Jay Rock will push way more at the end of the day then Glasses. Jay Rocks album is nice but I'm sure glasses shit will be nice to. But a lot of old tracks (even though there sick) might hurt him and the lack of promo.
Still trying to understand why there is no Drake, Nicki Minaj & Tyga collabs on Glasses album, that could of gave him the push he needed...
-
The real question should be will the combined sales reach 10,000?
-
I'm gonna say Glasses Malone because I think he'll have a better outlet. He's doing Suburban Noize / Cash Money. If his CD ends up in the Best Buy flyer with a first week sale tag and end cap space, he's in there. Jay Rock's album did not ship to a whole lot of places and there wasn't a huge incentive to buy it unless you were a fan. Saigon came out through Suburban Noize and did about 11,000 units on the first week. But his shit was end-capped at Best Buy with a price tag of under $10. FYE had a deluxe edition on that album for around the same price. These are incentives for an impulse buy. $14 is a lot for a CD on a new artist. Especially when the average consumer is thinking, it will either be cheaper or around the same price if I wait a week or go look at another store. If i didn't specifically want that album on the first day it dropped, I would not have put down $14 but I was a fan of dude.
So that's why I hold off on calling this album a flop. As I said before, independent labels work differently than majors.

Mack 10 sold arround 6k copies of 'Soft White' in first weeks, so i doubt his 'protege' will have more.
