Hairyjordon u might want to save yourself the embarrassment and leave now.
and drake got fuckin shit on, thats for the rest of you jackasses sayin drake was gonna do 500k and em was gonna do 300k
He sold 485k last week, 150k this week is that bad in todays world for a rookie that album leaked 3 weeks before coming out? how much did eminem's first album do first week? 300k?
thats taking into consideration that em didnt have waynes dick in his mouth like drake does
and there was no promo back then, and the only singe em pushed was my name is
The internet also helps with hype tbh, an example is 50 Cent, he was pushed out around the time EVERYONE was starting to have internet access and forums were really buzzing, they were discussing everything and everyone.
In 1999 Hip Hop Heads would read Hip Hop magazines looking for the latest news on artists, people not too fussed on Hip Hop / Rap wouldn't bother meaning it was much more difficult to push a new artist.
Everyone is saying the internet generation is what is killing the industry, but in a backwards way it's also what's keeping it alive, even if people weren't able to download music online there would still be people making fake CD's and selling them, people will do anything to get something cheap, it's human nature, the internet just made it easy for everyone to do.
