Jay Rocks Follow Me Home debuts at No.83 with 5,300 sold

[CRAIGnice]

maan i stoped worrying about the sales. usually nowadays the ones who sell the most suck the most jay rock, snoop, k.dot all had great albums imo

[PhunkyDoob]

all those acts got a personality that these new fans feel, jay rocc  is raw straight no chaser, he don't put on a act like say a william roberts or a game with his antics. We are in the act a fool age of entertainment yell

I agree. But also the label situation Rock went through def fucked it up a bit. That's the problem with alot of labels IMO, they always try to hit new artists with a bang instead of building them up from the ground. I'm sure that Rock's album would've done better had it dropped in 2007-08 and they could've kept dropping a few albums and i'm sure he would've been a bigger name by now, but what happened was the label tried to reach a wider audience and they never caught on and so they didn't wanna invest big money for his project. But like you said Rock also doesn't have that "star potential" and neither does Kendrick, but who cares still dope artists.

Yeah Jay Rock had a buzz but no where near the level of his buzz when he first signed with Warner. Really past the Strange announcement, touring and some videos here and there, that was it. He pretty much had the album completed by the time he signed.

if you still worrying about album sales after the rescission then you trapped in the past because nobody really selling shit.. if you didn't have a big fan base before album sales went rock bottom then you ain't selling nothing. the only niggaz still selling is niggaz thats affiliated with cash money, dr dre and niggaz like that.. the real money is in touring because ain't nobody buying albums anymore. even niggaz that selling bootleg cd's can't even sell shit anymore.. when is the last time you saw a nigga on the streets selling cd's ? i use to see niggaz selling cd's on the corner almost every weekend but not anymore because everybody downloading free music on their ipod, ipads & phones.. that nigga jay rock just came off that all 7 and 6's tour so that nigga made more money than these niggaz you hearing on the radio. strange music averages over 200 tour dates a year. jay rock just came off a 3 month tour with strange so that niggaz pocket is fatter than niggaz that on majors sold more albums than he did. touring is were the money is brah.

thats money ( these strange music niggaz eating good)

these niggaz don't even know if you don't write your own shit you get paid last.. thats how that girl group En Vogue from Oakland went broke. baby face wrote most of their music so after they made all that money off selling millions of albums them bitches got paid last. baby face took his cut, the major label took their cut, their manager took his cut and them bitches where getting crumbs. i heard one them was working in a fast food spot at a mall now..don't get it fuck up brah a lot of these rappers selling all those albums get paid last and they have no money.. niggaz is renting everything and y'all niggaz think they own that shit son. didn't you hear they came for game's car   i know that shit is probably no true but it just goes to show you that these dudes are not eating at good as you think they are. if you ain't touring you ain't eating brah.
