Justin Bieber is still pushing 300K a week? Didn't his album drop months ago? ???

& props to Kanye; honestly, that album deserves to do better.

Lloyd Banks could never even see 100k

He's a great rapper don't get me wrong, but if the guy wants to sell more he has to change his whole swag

Sure he can do punchlines for days, but EMI/Interscope can't promote the dude for shit, he hasn't got that IT factor that 50 , em , hell even game have

BBB went hard as fuck though don't get me wrong but he needs more of them up his sleeve

40K 1st week aint a flop nowadays

I told y'all way back when Nicki would do between 300-400K 1st week. I said she would fall just short of Gold 1st week & go platinum eventually; but the platinum in 1 week talks were ridiculous.

Good #s for Kanye but I expected even more (600-700K) but 500K is by no means a disappointment it any fashion.

BBB was a major single this year. Maybe you're right, he wouldn't of seen 100K, but he without doubt would of had better numbers than releasing the album seven months after the single dropped.

Well Banks went almost gold 1st week on his first album. Granted G-Unit and 50's popularity was huge back then.

Banks doing 40K is good.  He needs to stay strong and steadfast in his art.  Be creative and true to himself.  He's a NY cat who creates dope grimey, realistic presentations of the streets and club music.  If he puts in the energy and works at his song craft he'll gain the following.  The more he interacts with the media the more he'll learn to flex his personality.

Definitely.

On a side note, only 6 rappers in the last 3 years have released albums that have been certified platinum.

Eminem
Jay-Z
Kanye West
Lil Wayne
T.I.
Drake

Looks like Kanye will soon be on his way to cracking a million, Nicki has a good chance as well. Banks had a great album, but like it was mentioned, its release came too late after he dropped a successful single. I'm not saying he lost steam lyrically, but chart-wise, he hasn't followed through with a second hit. Nowadays even if the timing on the album release is right, one hit can't guarantee huge first week numbers. Look at Nelly. "Just A Dream" was top 5 on the Hot 100 chart, now he's blaming managment for poor promotion because 5.0 didn't have a huge opening week.

Hard, I reckon banks could do good numbers if he keeps up the constant promo, hopefully the sales stay consistent, either way he dropped a dope NYC album, I copped, and I don't regret it a bit.

I remember Kanye had to go double platinum to make money off Late Registration, but the list of credits of MBDTF looks longer than LR. Does anyone know how much he has to sell this time around?

I'm sure those features were minimum pays or trade offs.  Sampling is usually a huge cost issue.

I'd say so. No major single on the radio, nothing near the buzz "Day N Nite" & "Pursuit To Happiness" got on his first album.

500K is eye-popping under those circumstances.
