Quote from: Jrome The Don Killuminati on September 16, 2011, 11:18:08 AMSo you think INAD was a bigger hit and more popular than G Thang or What's My Name or Forgot About Dre? On an individual chart level? Yes. It was a bigger hit. However, popularity is a tough thing to measure. Those songs you mention are from a different era and have aged significantly well in the 10-18 years they've been out. But the fact is "I Need A Doctor" is one of Dr. Dre's most succesful singles.

That's industry talk clouding your brain.

If not sales or radio spins what the fuck do you want to judge it by? Your ranking of the favorite songs from your childhood is not a measure of how popular songs were.

This is correct. Lasting appeal is something that occurs over time and is different than instantaneous popularity. "I Need a Doctor" just came out, so no one knows how relevant it will be to Dre's career 10 years from now. For example, "NY State of Mind" didn't have a big impact for Nas when it came out, but its lasting appeal to his fans has made it one of Nas's most memorable songs. "I Can" was Nas's most successful single, but I doubt his core fanbase thinks much of it.

You and Jrome, who also believes Jay-Z is in the illuminati and aliens are taking over the earth. You're still going on because you can't stand being wrong. And Jrome refuses to believe anything he can claim is a conspiracy.

Go back and watch cartoons.Moron. Pointing out that you're a conspiracy theorist isn't an ad hominem when you're going on about the industry controlling people's brains. You have the worst reasoning I've ever seen in a person. Anything you don't want to believe you can simply throw off as deception by the powers that be.Quote from: Jrome The Don Killuminati on September 17, 2011, 06:52:30 AMI know you loved that song, but it doesn't make it his biggest hit. lmao @ making up lies when you can't argue. I can't stand the song. And you still can't comprehend that this conversation has nothing to do with our feelings toward the song.

You can't because you're full of shit. Just because you're too dumbed-down and narrow-minded to have grown up discussions doesn't mean u should get mad and make up shit.
As I said, sales figures are manipulated by those in the industry. Sales numbers these days and have no cred. That is why you see enormous 2nd week fall off in sales.

That is why you see enormous 2nd week fall off in sales. By that rationale, shouldn't they be manipulating the later weeks when the sales ACTUALLY start to slip? It just isn't a strong theory. Sales are supposed to be the strongest on the first week. That's the culmination of all the promotion and buzz. I can think of very few circumnstances were that's not the case.
