retire? why? tha realest has a tight crib , is and always has pushed nice whips , and has traveled many a place and made good money . . all off of rap . he has done these things AND survived in the rap game [unlike a TON of some of you other guys' favorite rappers] for 10 PLUS YEARS WITHOUT AN OFFICIAL ALBUM . a GREAT album in the can and on store shelves and a NEW business relationship with mike lynn , and his 1st tours in the PUBLIC EYE [like his 1st coming next month with yukmouth , young buck , and bun b in florida] lead me to believe the future is as bright as its ever been for tha realest . look at the big picture people .

Okay, all that info you just laid out is wrong. The CD just came out LAST week, as in July 14th. It's been out 11 days. How is that nearly 3 weeks? It's less than 2 weeks.

The numbers I gave you were copied and pasted directly from the SoundScan that was issued MONDAY, July 20th. So yes, those are his first week numbers, but like I said not everything was accounted for in that first week yet.

Nice try, hater.

100 percent false, though the results were disappointing to say the least.

438 hard copy
507 digital sales
1,278 single song downloads


Damn, that sucks. Even though I hate your guts, that's bad on both ends for you guys. At least Realest puts content into his music unlike some other rappers. With the single song downloads put together as a 17 track album and divided it rounds to 75 album sales. The total is 1,020 CD sales is what it is equivalent too including digital sales and hard copy. Damn, that blows.

While I'm a fan of Realest, I dont think he's ever going to escape the whole "2pac/Deathrow" stigma that comes up when you mention his name. His music has definitely evolved since then and you hear more mature content but even I, as a fan, can't let that go sometimes. It sucks cause he's definitely come a long way since then but you are always going to have people who will always say "fuck him" for biting Pac.

Also, imo, the promotion was horrible. I visit a few hiphop blogs every few days (NahRight, Hype Beast, 2dopeboyz) and I never saw Realest mentioned - and these are sites that usually post up new music/album info on the daily.  Also aside from the internet, I didnt see any mentions of it anywhere. THENNNNNN the day of the release, the local Best Buy didnt recieve their shipment - and when they did, they only got in 3 copies.  For Realest's sake, I hope Enigma is right in saying that this is just an album to introduce him to the record executives and fans that will lead to a second album.
