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

40k for banks? Hahahahahahahahahaha wow
He coulda done 100K if he dropped that when "Beamer Benz or Bentley" was on the radio every thirty seconds.

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?
-
Eminem stil sold 50K and his record been out what 7-8 months now.
-
I'm sure those features were minimum pays or trade offs. Sampling is usually a huge cost issue.
-
Eminem is fucking KILLING SHIT
he sold more than banks after like 10 weeks hahahahahahahahaha
rihanna flopped too, after having that massive single

I'm not one to hate usually but this is real....i don't understand that shit at all....every verse i've ever heard from this broad has been borderline unlistenable, and her vocals always have crazy effects on em' and can tell have been over produced....vocals as fake as her ass is, i seen the before and after pics

Exactly. They eat that shit up.

Good for him. I'm glad his excessive douchebaggery didn't prevent him from making a hot album.

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.
-
yeah, and the album was wack.
Pilot Talk 2 > MOTM2
Copped boy Pilot Talk and Pilot Talk 2 this past week with Kane West's and POS's Never Better.

co-sign. Congrats to Cudi. Gold is the new platinum in 2010-2011 ;D Not easy for anyone anymore to get.
