I definitely can't argue with that. I'm just making a point that this isn't the same as if, say, Jesus Piece had sold only 10K first week. It's not quite like an actual album, even though it is. But like you said, these numbers aren't good for any well-established artist.

To bring up a similar situation, I'd be more worried if I was B.o.B. who sold like 40K in his first week with a full-blown album, rather than Game selling 10K with a pretty-much compilation album.

B.o.B's situation is definitely worse than Games. However I feel like Game will probably only do 50k first week unless he gets a good single with radio support

Not to get off track here, but where did B.o.B. go wrong? Admittedly, I haven't been too much attention to rap releases the last couple years (I've been listening to rap as much as I always do, just haven't been paying attention to sales or anything). And I was surprised that B.o.B. flopped, as a few years ago he seemed like he was going to be one of the next big things, as far as balancing mainstream appeal and critical acclaim.

A few years ago B.o.B had that Airplanes song which was HUGE and helped sales. I don't think he had any big singles this time so he didn't have any big buzz before his album dropped. I barely knew he was dropping an album

The 50 - Game reunion that is being terribly covered up won't hurt either.

No it's not. This is a Game album. The label collaborative album is coming later. You can't just out a collaborative album from the label where you are doing all the songs and the other guys from his label isn't even on there
I wanted an album so rugged nobody could touch it.
Spent a million a track and went over my budget.
Now how in the fuck am I supposed to get out of debt?

Lol this is exactly what I'm saying. I think most Game fans, like me until a few days ago, don't even know this IS a Game album. And I don't think a collaborative album is coming later. I think this is the collab album, just turned into a Game album, kinda like how Jay did with his Roc La Familia Dynasty album.

Just when I tell myself it's ok to like a new Game song and want to try to appreciate his music he reminds me time and time again how he's downright the most idiotic person in hip hop.

He tweeted that in 09.


And? My point still stands even if I hadn't seen this tweet. The Game is one of the dumbest rappers outside of the music, imo.

Getting a tattoo of Obama and Trayvon are pretty dumb to me, not to mention whatever else he probably has

You obviously want to go to some lengths to defend Game as being an intelligent person, which is ok homie it's just opinions :y:
