Yeah, but I think he's highlighting the dramatic drop-off (as opposed to a gradual tapering off) which probably suggests his label is the one buying the records to begin with, not the general public.

Yeah, but a dramatic drop off really isn't that rare now

why is it always the label? do you see some of these nerdy ass fans,especially the ones with chipper jones,they go out and buy 20 copies in shit,and they get they other friends to do it first week,plus the nerds banded together to make this "they" rapper of the moment. these are the kids and younger brothers and younger cousins of the same nerds who felt "hard" cause they bought a west coast album in the 90's, dorks 2.0 yell

Doesn't iTunes have a pre-order thing where you get the album as soon as you login after it's been released? Many fans probably use that which explains high sales directly after the release.

yeah but most rap fans go out and buy the actual physical copy of the CD compared to pop acts which get huge downloads

I mean, everybody claims Jay-Z buys his own albums. Why wouldn't Jay-Z buy his new artists album to make him look better?

The same reason he never made a video for Renegade. He only wants himself to look good. Renegade as a single with a high budget video (videos were still a big deal back then) would have doubled to tripled the sales of Blueprint, but it also would have made Jay Z look like the second best rapper on his own album.

Cool breeze; I'm hopping out of new Beams
My outfit ran me a few G's but none of that will matter if you leave
I used to be an Adam with two Eves and shawtys automatically do me
Excuse me, all that happened before you doesn't matter
I'm a vision of the future climbing the success ladder
