albums aint selling for anyone anymore people download thats the way it is. your name needs to be huge to sell. buck? banks? there not big names on the scale of eminem dr dre or 50 cent. what matters and should always matter is music quality,in that terms yes banks did flop and buck didnt.And how does game effect how buck/banks/g unit make albums? he doesnt. people like redman for example used to sell alot better but people download alot more latley. xzibit used to go plat each album. yet full circle flopped so hard you would of expected him to be a underground rapper.

meh just thought id say it cos it gets annoying people judging on sales and also having to read OMFGZ G UNIT IS DA SHIT!!!! OMGZ GAME KILLD GAY UNIT!!!! when really they dont effect each other on that large a scale. and if i had to pick a album outta bucks and games id pick bucks cos d.a wasnt nothing special.

(wow bordom makes me post longish posts)

150,000 is a flop, in terms of rappers never match up to there first week sales, so buck will probably do numbers from 25,000 to 50,000 next week then 10,000 to 25,000 and eventually off the charts, buck wont make platinum

i think people really need to grasp the fact that music sales are not what they used to be.

people don't buy CD's anymore. and i'm not saying they download illegaly, there's plenty of people that DL off itunes and other programs where the artist still gets their shared profit.

nowadays, it seems like an artist going gold equals an artist going platinum 7 years ago. i know it sucks, seeing numbers go down like that, but with all these high tech mp3 players and whatnot, it's just the way it is.
