Wait....you're telling me it's likely that Eminem will sell more with Recovery in the 23rd week, than Lloyd Banks will in his 1st week? :o

4 weeks = a month

Recovery has almost been out 6 months!

can't see it, what did she say?

seriously, labels are often so stupid.

they could have at least shipped it well in new york, everything heard about banks album from fans was that it was sold out everywhere they went to.

lloyd banks had the buzz, whereas nelly didn't. i actually consider banks' undershipping complaints seriously.

Maybe if he put some more work in and didn't just recruit another 10,000 MCs to do most his album for him he'd fucking sell more. All these lazy cunts get what they deserve.

Most of the time the artists don't get enough support from their label....

HFM 2 is the hottest shit buzzin in NY right now.

He didn't need support from his label - It's called WORK.

Put the work in and it'll pay off. He made a bunch of generic songs and had a shitload of features, which is? What everybody else is doing.

You can't expect special attention for average work.

Have you even heard the album?

It's far above average and I guess you don't understand how the music business works.
Labels are a major force behind the success or flop of the album they're releasing. If they shipped only a couple thousand copies the album then it's obviously not going to sell that much.

But keep in mind he sold over 600k with ONE single and that was when he was independent....You can't tell me that's not impressive and plus the album was sold out in a lot of Best Buys in NY....So there was nothing wrong with the quality of the album.

The album was poorly promoted.
