DEAR GOD!!!!!!

Chea!!!! ----> 139 TRICK DADDY THUG MATRIMONY 7,373 1 7,326 827,496

Almost platinum

I bought Common's Amerie's and BEP's album!! it's a shame that nobody recognize commons lyrical skills...his album is by far the best he ever made...




OUCH


this a good reason to drop your mic and be honset with yourself that you don't have skills...

why are there constantly 75,000 people buying The Massacre a week, does this seem fishy to anyone else???

he has skills people just don't buy his ish, did you ever think that some people rap because they like to and don't care all about the money, i mean bleek is still richer then all of us, it's not like he's starving

damn

roc-a-fella is done

thank god they still have kanye west

82 BLACK EYED PEAS ELEPHUNK 14,355 38 10,409 2,659,068

this ish came out in 03

I don't undertand the SoundScan system. How is Common in 6th place selling 262,608, while 50 Cent has sold 3,786,493 and is in 8th?? Can someone please explain this to me?

Where is JOHN CENA's album?, last time i heard he had sold more the bleek.

it goes by weekly sales:

6 COMMON BE 77,496 -58 184,617 262,608

8 50 CENT MASSACRE 74,749 -1 75,580 3,786,493

bep had to postpone the new album cause elephunk was selling so good..

wasnt it suppose to come out this past tuesday

Like Cam said, last time Dame had his hand in their projects they sold more then 100k easily. Now, they sticked with Jay, and I think that was a bad decision, the stats speak for themselves.

people are sleeping on nivea's cd. that cd was tight and common but he should at least get to gold status.

"MARKETING IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS!!!!" This is one of the FIRST things you lear in Principles of Business....Somebody needs to infor Jay-Z of this Concept of business....if u dont market your artists....they wont sell....

[pic] damn mann....That hurts cus im a fan and I bought both albums but Thats what they get for puttin out 2 EP's back to back....I understand the Yg's doin badd...them my niccas an all but theyre album is OKAY but it made me put tough luv back in which is 100 times better....but bleeks was better.....damn imagine those sales without dear summer on the cd....The Roc never gets alot of marketing tho...Jay thought him sayin...."im puttin these cds out" would make people buy them....naa homie...Kanye will sell....Fox MIGHT....lets be real...shes hot but gold is a maximum...Free isnt gonna do too good....but its not their fault....had their initial albums recieved the push they deserved/needed these would be platinum artists...Tough Luv is a classic....plenty bangers on that! Made is strait but bleek had too many expectations to live up to IMO....THATS y he never made it....not cus hes "ass" but cus people expected too much....Free Album was sick....he just aint have no push that it deserved ....Cam was right with what he said, and so was buddens....On a side note look at 112....that album was hott but no follow up single...no new video yet?? come on mann...u gotta strike wen the irons hott....Video number 2 should be on 106 tomorrow!....come on mann...Jay better change sumthin up an he better do that ish fast before they do away with "The Carter Administration"....

....Real Talk..... [pic]

....in addition he shoulda put out a "Roc's New Generation mixtape" wit some heat on it to get a buzz generated.....or better yet since they were only like 11 tracs a piece they soulda came out in a bundle...i bet sales would be better than what they are now....these record guys just dont think now adays....it worked for Scrappy an Trillville so it would DAMN sure work four bleek and gunz who issued sub par albums this go round....better luck next year aye hov? :rolleyes:

B.G. Gonna Sell More Than Bleek And The Young Gunz And He´s Independant!!!!!

Even Tho He´s 4 Times Better Than The 3 Of Them Combined !!!!

B.g. Should Go To A Major!!!!

How it's not like it was a major release and layzie still caking up off of old tracks
