Title: Games Tour skips SEC Territory
Post by: love33 on October 21, 2011, 09:12:41 PM
I can't understand how Game has a tour for a #1 album but he is only touring in Cali, AZ, Colorado, Texas, and a couple midwest spots Detroit and Toledo.  How could he completely skip Florida, Georgia, and New York?  NY and FL are the 3rd and 4th most populated states WTF Game bring your tour around the map.

He's great Live.  I'm in Florida now so I can't see it unless I fly out to LA.  I can honestly say that The Game and Too Short are the best live shows to see (it would have been nice to have a whole tour of that "kush" show they did in Los Angeles.

It was the #1 album for one week. It's been on the charts for eight weeks and will fall from the top 100, next week. Game has a solid fan base to buy his album on the first week. The whole "getting people to buy two copies so he'll follow them on Twitter" was a nice touch but promotional stunts only take you so far. The music needs to sell itself at some point and when you don't have a large-ass radio hit, it's tough to sell outside the region. This was something I tried explaining to you when you went on your big speech about how he was blackballed because he wasn't at the VMA's.

Some people set tour dates by where they sold the most albums...so if his album didnt sell in Florida he will not go down there because the show would be a waste of time and money for the promoter.
