Not all stores are registered on SoundScan you are correct. But what you might not know that there are only about 1,000 mom + pops left in a country with about 300 million people, and all of them aren't rap stores. So the chain SoundScan figures are pretty accurate. Best Buy owns Musicland, MediaPlay, and Sam Goody and they are all SoundScan. Transworld owns Specs, Strawberries, Coconuts, Willies, Wherehouse, FYE and hella other shit and they are ALL SOUNDSCAN. Tower Records, Hastings, Rasputins, 7th Heavan, Music Millenium, Dimples, and Underground are ALL SOUNDSCAN.

And I am not hating on Yuk homie ever....Yuk is the nigga. He is one of the biggest the West has. The unfortunate reality is that the West doesn't get the love it's supposed to get. Yuk is still one of the top sellers, good or bad that's how it is.

And saying someone's sales isn't promoting homie, that's just hype. To promote you post up covers, talk about songs, request at radio etc.

Everyone could be supporting Yuk alot more by helping his shit get spun on the radio rather than inquiring about his scans.

As for Luniz, they went PLATINUM and the second album did like 250K or maybe 300K I cant remember.

I signed Yuk at Bayside so I had to know all of his record sales.

I was surprised too!

As for his Scans, I havent checked them lately so you are right I could be off but not by hundreds of thousands. Ill check them just for you and Hubcat. Both of you can email me your email addresses and I will send his scans to you. Im not gonna post them because they aint what I do.

As fans, I understand how hard it is to accept your favorite artist aint selling what you think they are but it aint Yuk's fault, it's his label and distributor's and the current status at retail being all fucked up with too much bullshit clogging the shelves.

Hubcat: And I said NOTHING about Yuk's sales overseas or his touring. I dont have access to that info and I know he does his thing.

Yall have me fucked up that Im bashing Yuk or something but you wrong. Im keeping the game straight because it's too much mis-informaiton out there and Im not the one spreading it.

Im out in the fields promotin shit homie dont get it twisted. i gotta tell you i dont know what godzilla did what i do know is that both thugged out and thuglord did above 300k. And as for thugged out it did sell almost 500.000 copies and if its a double cd that counts as 1 million but like i said it got treated as a single cd. I dont know the exact numbers for godzilla but i said i know godzilla did more then 70k ill pm you my email send me your facts on godzilla that would be appreciated

First off stunt I know you really don't know what your talking about with your last comment.. I the c.d was double and it sold 500,000 which i doubt very highly soundscan calulates both c.d in the sells. So therefore in realty 250,000 people would have purchased it. 70-80 thousand is great as fuck and most underground rappers would slit throats to get those numbers including myself. To get back on topic nowadays if an underground artist sales 5000 they are doing the damn thing. If they sell 10 they are making major moves in this game. Thats alot of hustle and promotion(believe me) You get Kats like Spice and Messy niggas like that who get #'s like 20-30 thousand which is handlin believe me. You have to remember this isn't 95 not even 2000 I remember my first album saling somewhere around 10,000 and we all were hella upset. This was in 2000... Today if my new album reachs that number nigga i'll be jumping for joy! It's the state of the game. Yuk I doubt highly is moving over 100g's on any album. Maybe right after the i got 5 on it shit but now hell nah! I'll bet anyone of yall kats on that one. Don't get me wrong i wish you were right. That'd mean my sales would be up alot higher in the near future but what you spitting isn't reality. All B-12 trying to give you is the real.... Also as a last note what soundscan does is they calculate for moms and pops stores in their total of sales. i think its like 15 to 20 % correct me if I'm wrong B12! This is a rough game dog and its getting harder by the minute and reality is you have to have the whole package if you want to bubble! Mainstream numbers. Shit them #'s for yuk was more like #'s for scarface and he's an o.g in the game and got south love! Just real spit like it or love it doesn't make me none!
