ouch as in good or bad? that is alot of units in today's independent music world. bay area atleast.

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

I guess. I figured he woulda hit the 10000 ceiling considering the promo they did a month before it dropped and the leak on MySpace.

he sold more copies than juicy j of 3-6 mafia. thats huge right there.

exactly, that's HUGE, Juicy J is a OSCAR WINNING Platinum Selling artist, and they did HUGE promo for his album as well, many magazines etc, so for The Jack to outsell him is a GREAT accomplishment and also a testament to the support the fans and listeners have given this album

Northern California rapper Tha Jacka made a Top 100 debut at #94 with his album Tear Gas selling 5,807. Being the rapper’s first official studio album, the outing features an extensive guest list including Andre Nickatina and Cormega.

good job! I bought my copy via itunes.

6000 is pretty damn good for an indi rapper nowdays, Hopefully the bay area radio stations are giving him spins. he has a couple of radio friendly songs on his album

 

[MaddDogg]

Man 6K does that include itunes?
