saying that he's the first bay indie rap artist to crack the top 200 means what???...there are other indie artists who have sold more in their first week, but the album sales as a whole were higher. I support FAB in what he does, but sometimes, y'all just put too much on it.

that's what I'm saying...Put it this way for the week of 5/12/02, the last person on the Top 200 was at 6,101 records sold and the numbers keep going down.

For example, if you put Quinn's first week sales from "The Rock,"(4,595) against last weeks sales, he would have been on the Top 200 as well.

how can you compare sales in 2002 to sales done in 2007? The music industry, espeically the rap industry is extremeley different. Record labels are scrambling around their offices right now as we "type" trying to figure out how they will get back to the sales that we experinced with hip hop albums from the first half-decade of the 21rst century. Based on what is going on NOW in our present time not last year, not 5 years ago, for an indie project he did extremley well and im sure that will continue. And really, if the album sold 14k or 4k the first week as hard as that man works for his own career, for the bay, and in his community give the man his due resepect.

First of all, I have given the man respect, but not because of album sales, but because he has given me respect. And you are missing the point at what I'm trying to say, being in the Top 200 doesn't mean half as much as it used to.

#3 on itunes is the biggest news, fuck a billboard. Physical album sales are dying slowly and niggaz still spend most of their energy trying to get signed.

Mistah F.A.B.'s DA BAYDESTRIAN hit stores last Tuesday, May 15th and landed #177 on Billboard's Top 200 - making him the first Bay Area indie rapper to crack the Top 200 in over five years.

In addition to that, the album debuted as:


  • [*]the #3 Hip Hop Album on iTunes
  • #7 on Billboard's Heatseekers Chart
  • #17 on Billboard's Rap Chart
  • #20 on Billboard's Independent Chart
  • and # 47 on Billboard's R&B Chart

DA BAYDESTRIAN also recently received an XL rating in the current issue of XXL Magazine, an amazing feat for an indie album.

If that was what you were trying to say then your argument would have had alot more weight if you would have actually said that. And in any event opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and a whole lot of shit usually comes out of it. Some of yall on here, i mean he could have been in the top 3 and some would say "awww he should have been number 1" he could have sold 10k and some would say "damn he couldnt even sale 15k." Give me a break damn. This is one of our major issues here in the bay-a surplus of haters.

Congrats to FAB but there have been at least 10 indie bay albums to crack the billboard top 200 in the past 5 years. Keak, the team, frontline and quinn and others have done this.
