BIG DIFFERENCE...the south was able to put up independent numbers...shit the bay hasn't been able to do in a long time. And whoever told you that they're handing out "outrageous" contracts to new artists got your dumb ass to believe what they said, cause there isn't a new artist out here without a track record that is makin real money off of album sales.

The point of what I was saying is that FAB is looked at by a lot as the artist that has the most potential in the bay and being one of the favorite artists of fans in the bay, and he only sell's 4,500 records in his first week. I know this is not all on FAB or SMC, this falls in to the hands of his "fans". No matter how much music you download, if you are a fan of his music, why not do what you can to help him blow up. The part that FAB and the label are responsible for however, is making sure that you don't focus your promotion around a website, to where at one click of a mouse, the same people that you're trying to get a sale from, can download the whole album for free.

As for gossiping, if you think that what i said is gossip, get up off your ass and do some real research as to why the bay will NEVER be on top! Some may say I'm a hater, but for the folks that do this shit for a living and know the in's and out's of this business, never in an area that has no support for their own artists, will you see it be on top. I'm as big as a fan of bay music then most people that have been around, but bay music as a whole has become stagnant.

first of all i know the contracts. and if you know the ins and outs of the business like you say then you'd know that the internet is where music is going. years and years from now no ones gonna buy cds. every nigga got an i pod now. the bay will never blow? it already blew dont forget who started this shit! one region cant be on top forever! dont act like you know too much! i do this shit for more than a living! and real industry niggas know me! know about it!

aint nobody talkinabout the future...that's the future and this is now. for the time being, records are still being sold. So you know all of the contracts right and real industry niggas know you, big deal, i and have worked with the biggest contracts in music and have personal and business relationships with industry heavyweights. WHO THE HELL CARES?

and i said the Bay will never be on top in this industry as long as there is no local support. Tell me, at what point was the bay ON TOP?

Damn all you dudes have way to much time on your hands. Get a fuckin job. Anyone that listened to the album in its entirity would know that fab makes great music. 100 bars, Deepest Thoughts, Jamonie Robinson, Feelin Fine, are all great tracks that anyone can relate to. Wait till word gets around on the album, im sure hes gonna do a video for Goin Crazy, this album just got a slow start because it kinda came outta nowhere and didnt have a lot of promo besides fuckin myspace. Fabs diverse, he can do hyphy ghost ride crap to party too, or serious songs that have more to say than these other wack ass rappers. And fab even said, this album was only because he wanted to drop something for his true fans since we been waiting so long and til this all we've had is mixtape shit. So fuck all you haters, this albums sick, ya'll a bunch of dumb ass internet wanksters who have nothin better to do. Eat your words when in 6 months this albums at 100k from word of mouth.

That's not a bad second week considering his first week sales. The drop off could have been way worse that that. I hope he can do good enough numbers to keep his deal in tact. I might not like his music all that much, but I still want to see a hustler hustle.

T-KASH PMs are full

TKASH said:
That's a good number considering the new standards. We ALL ship (send out the stores) a certain amount, but how much you sell is another story. Hell, T.W.S. sold 15K units(documented for future negotiation purposes) at my live events last year, but as far as scanned retail goes? Maybe five or six....maybe.

T-Kash, first off, you have my respect for the knowledge that you give as an MC. I'm proud to say I'm one of the 5 or 6k that bought Turf War Syndrome through retail.

I had a question I hope you can help me with. I've researched methods of documenting non-retail scanned sales and nothing I've found seems reasonable or feasable.

My question is, what method did you use and how did it work for you? Thanks for your time.
