does anyone know how many units e-40 pushed

[T-Rip]

if he drops a single that catches on, sales will pick up.

thats was the whole problem and i said it right before the album came out, no strong singles and there wont be folks on the Eastcoast buying that shit without 40 having a strong buzz.

 

[dzellian]

I HOPE THAT NEW YUK DOES BIG NUMBERS IN FEBUARY.

 

[RODZILLA]

i think BIG TIME or HOOD BOY would be great choices for a 2nd single/video

My thoughts exactly. It's time.

 

[thizziks21]

just remember another thing 40 has a lot of solid fans that been with him for a long. some over 15 years. they aint youngsta who gonna run to a midnight sale. they gonna cop it at they convenience and they gonna support and they don't care about charts and first week. they just know that they like 40 and they always support. veteran like 40 first week numbers don't matter he gonna sell solid. tell me when to go brought him new fans but they not coming back unless there is another big single and he becomes a fad again. those fans are nice but 40's career is built on his solid fan base.

real talk

 

[Rossibreath]

i think BIG TIME or HOOD BOY would be great choices for a 2nd single/video

Black Friday fueled the domestic record sales market last week, with millions of Americans flocking to the electronic stores that carry CDs. An exciting week to begin with, Kanye West assumed his pole position with his departure from rapping 808's & Heartbreak [click to read]. The release significantly under-sold last year's Graduation [click to read] and sold less first week numbers than Beyonce saw last week with her I Am...Sasha Fierce [click to read], despite an extra day of sales (amidst a holiday week).

Jay-Z's wife came in at #4, having another extremely strong week, with platinum possibilities for next week. Ludacris [click to read] came shortly behind, with his artistic Theater of The Mind [click to read]. The ATL veteran entered in the Top 5, but demonstrated lower numbers than expected by many sales projections.

T.I. [click to read] remained strong in the charts, passing up T-Pain [click to read] from last week with his Paper Trail [click to read]. Teddy closed out the top urban acts at #21 with Th33 Ringz [click to read].

[jr916]

thats pretty nice, you know 40 gettin more paper off a cd than most, im guessing

 

[Tripp]

Who gives a fuck how many albums he sold. Back in the day "consumers" didn't care about how many albums a "rapper" sold. Consumers should be worried about they own skrill. It's usually the mutherfuckas that are broke that care tho...lol

TriGG

 

[Hott Sauce]

if your a fan your a fan, who cares about sales. the record company needs to care bout that shyt , not the fan. I like tha album, im not goin to say i like every song, but overall the album GO!~

 

[lenbiasyayo]

I HOPE THAT NEW YUK DOES BIG NUMBERS IN FEBUARY.

yeah right yuk is washed up and his music is wacksauce as of the last 3 years

 

[Darkshowdown]

E-40 needs to leave Warner Bros asap bc they didnt promote this album taht well. here the sales for that week.

Hate on Kanye all you want but he a true artist and knows how to attract people into his work to support him..

 

[drew bryant]

they dont call it snitchin' no more they call it tellin' the truth!! thats my favorite qoute ever

 

[707northbayrrr]

i think every rap fan, espically northern cali, need to give 40 his 14 or 15 dollars and snatch a copie....and if you aint a fan, i dont know what you doin

That has to be the stupidest thing ive ever fucking heard in my life.^^^^ Im not a fan what im doin is listening to good fucking quality rap not some biting fake ass fat motherfukr. As far as units sold goes, less then 100,000 which means 40 blows
