I don't believe it. Just think about it: 100,000 pre-orders?! And there hasn't been ANY promotion for it in magazines or a video on MTV/BET...The only promotion Quik has is on the Internet and radio play in Cali. So let's say that 50% of the 100,000 are Cali people that have pre-ordered it, that means that still 50 000 people from the Internet have pre-ordered it as well! That's A LOT! Quik is tight, but he doesn't have a fan base that's so big that he'd get 100,000 pre-orders.

Crafty, don't forget he dropped a mixtape. How can you say there is no promotion? You live in freakin' Belgium (correct me if I'm wrong.) Out here in Cali, seems like whenever I turn on the radio all I hear is Quik. Maybe when you come out here for your trip in 2007 you'll understand what I'm saying.

Well over here in Melbourne where there is a larger population we aint hearing it at all...no way this album has pre-sold 100k, no matter how much I love Quik, he wasnt built for the masses  >:(

doesn't cali have a population of like 15million or something

If that's true then 100k is less than 1%, I'm sure quik has that many fans in cali, and i'm not even talking about overseas fans...

so 100k seems reasonable

I didn't say that he doesn't get radio play...in fact I said in my post that he does (in Cali). But still, 100,000 pre-orders is a lot just by having radio-play & a mixtape.

100.000 album were probably shipped but now they gotta sell them... I highly doubt thats the pre-order number of actual people who bought it

Thank God MC Eiht always had platinum albums.

eiht has plenty of platinum albums but hes not on a major label like dj quik is is he ???? eiht is independent which you make more money doing especially if you sell a lot of units like mc eiht does becuz veterans day did real good last year for a independent album with no radio or video play and debut on the billboard charts and stayed on thier for several weeks so that is a plus for eiht selling !!

if you sell 10,000 to 20,000  copies as a independent artist then your gonna make more money then a major label artist that sells 250 ,000 to 500, 000 copies becuz its the politics of the game so eiht made a lot of money on his last couple of albums homie you better belive he probally sold around 100,000 copies independent and thats real big shit !!!!!!!

becuz most independent artist sell around 20,000 at the most but eiht is a veteran with a track record so he did better than that good for eiht man !!!!!!!!
