I havent seen a vid on Mtv or Bet yet. If it does show it will probably show on mtv 2 1st. I dont think it will realy hit until Tech releases a 2nd vid and the drop a video for it. Hopefuly the Welcome to the Midwest remix w/ Twista. Maybe the'll convice Kanye to do the beat lol....you nvr know. Stranser things have happened.!!!

tech is goin' plat. thats all that matters mf's lol

Does this album officially count as a double album? If it does doesn't the RIAA double the sales or some shit?

But, I'm guessing 25k for the first week... it could take a while to pick up steam.. i hope it does well.

funny yall mention K-Fed. he was in Chicago wed night. they had to give away alot of the tix for his show cuz people weren't buying them. i went up there before it let out, gave away some of the Tech samplers there. a few people decline...i'm like, yall actually spent money inside on a K-Fed Cd, but won't accept a free one? that's crazy...

^^^i wouldnt it been sold together now if it was sold seperate then i would
wrong...

soundscan deals with albums SOLD....

riaa certifications (ie: gold, platinum, ect.) deals with albums SHIPPED

having said that... here is how the double cd scenario plays out...

Multi-disc albums are counted once for each disc within the album, if the album is 100 minutes or more in total length. For example, each copy of OutKast's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (total time 134:56) and Shania Twain's Up! (145:44), both double albums, was counted twice, meaning each album was certified diamond after only 5 million copies were shipped; however, each copy of Christina Aguilera's Back to Basics will only count once despite its being a double album, as its total time is only 78:55.

^^^this is for RIAA....

for soundscan it should only scan once since it is a barcode system at POS that is sent to soundscan for them to report

Tech's is about 145 minutes... so it should double his shipped amount for RIAA purposes... but will only be singular for his actual sales...

IE: if Tech shipped 100,000 units and sold half of em... The RIAA would recognize him as 200,000 units shipped and soundscan would recognize it as 50,000 sold

They were at a K-Fed concert....that alone should explain why. lol

Peace and God bless.
