[hunnedon]

[dj 2nv]

Rap has just become part of pop culture...so just like any other music...unless you get major push on MTV, Radio, and print.....NO SALES!!!

The reason why you see More Indie Rap releases than other types of Indie Music is COST. Damn too easy to record a rap record.....

 

[DJ Mark 7]

a couple Bay #'s for ya

Keak's Copium is just over 36,000
Turf Talk Street Novelist is at about 13,300
E-40 has sold over 3.3 million albums to date
and Mac Dre this year alone has sold over 87,000 copies

 

[hunnedon]

im surprised e40's numbers arent higher than that considering how many albums he has and i know at least 2 are platinum

 

[djsincere510]

MACK 10 HUSTLA'S HANDBOOK 37,776---damn i thought mack 10 would do better numbers....

YOUNG JEEZY LET'S GET IT 855,796---this might be off...cause i know he was certified platnium this week....

BLACK EYED PEAS MONKEY BUSINESS 1,786,523---ok who the fu*k buys this kinda shit? i dont have ANYY B.E.P albums...

MASTER P BEST OF MASTER P 8,482
C-MURDER BEST OF C-MURDER 3,098

LIL ROB TWELVE EIGHTEEN 115,306--this was also a suprise...hes preety big in la? yea? iits that "summertime" signle that pushed him over 100k

CAM'RON PURPLE HAZE 485,890--and this shoulda gone platnium...most slept on album in recent years IMO....

 

[v-feezy]

[Dipset]

SNOOP DOGG BEST OF SNOOP DOGG 10,739 8,203 -23.6% 18,964

[All 4 the Bay]

Rap has just become part of pop culture...so just like any other music...unless you get major push on MTV, Radio, and print.....NO SALES!!!

True and false. I don't think Too Short had a video on MTV or BET but he still managed to hit platinum sales numbers.

But then again I feel you on the major push.

 

[threefoe]

lmao Too short was one of the first to have VIDEOS (yes plural) on mtv and BET back in the day. In the late 80's and early 90's Too Short had videos in regular rotation on Rap City and Yo MTV raps.

 

[Rasan]

look at the sooundscan man, all the artists on there HAD GREAT PROMOTION, well allt he major label cats, and there numbers are so so..
black eyed peas is the shock of the year IMO..these cats have a nice fan base

 

[ando]

thx for the news on these..and its good to see b-legit in there

but damn theres alot of ppl there that should have higher numbers

 

[Meandme]

Black Eyed Peas sell to people who dont even like rap. They all nice and non-threatening and they do this straight plastic pop shit, so all those people who'd never listen to rap will still go cop their records.
Seen that last video? "My humps" or whatever that goddam wack bootsyass piece of shit is called? There's about 10 seconds of rappin in there.

As far as B-Legit's album, sure its cool to see it there, but that still ain't much. Even DJ Quik and them... Those sales need to go up in a major way.

 

[AL JIEH]

sad numbers for bela...only 7k damn nobody on the west coast is buying SHIt anymore, look at quiks and warrens numbers too

Those #s for Bela aren't sad at all. Be proud of the dude, those are good #s for a regional indie release. I think it's cool the fans have high expectations of our artists, it shows yall believe! But this is the reality of it all...

Exactly, there is no shock that BEP move major units. They are straight bubble gum POP MUSIC. Yuppies all over love that shit. Their last one did multi-platinum as well.
