HIP HOP IS DEAD!!!!! fo real check this out

Postby insideman1411 » Sep 27th, '07, 00:00

there's no way 50 will go 2x Platinum and his last album sold more than 5 million

NOW

CHAMILLIONAIRE only sold 80,000 this week off ULTIMATE VICTORY
How the fu ck could this happen
he deserves to do better

Everybody downloads music for free off the internet.
Chamillionaire sold about 160,000 1st week off his 1st album but managed to go Platinum
I don't know if he will go Platinum this time but it's not probable

ULTIMATE VICTORY is a great album and it's a hip hop classic
if you haven't gotten it please go buy it it's worth every penny

Good. Like I said elsewhere, it'll show 50 he's not the unit moving power house he thought he was.

No mega-hit like Ridin from the last album... the first single never took off, Hip Hop Police got more play but nothin compared to some other songs.


Chamillionaire sold about 160,000 1st week off his 1st album but managed to go Platinum
I don't know if he will go Platinum this time but it's not probable


It's possible, it'll probably depend on the next single, which I hear is Bill Collecta with Krayzie Bone

ULTIMATE VICTORY is a great album and it's a hip hop classic

worth the money, but not classic

Edit: Hip Hop isn't dead :y:

yea i was suprised too. ultimate victory was good, but i think it didnt sell much for those reasons:

1. like iceaxe said, there was no mega-hit like ridin (altho i thought some songs on the album were better than ridin)
2. everyone spent their money either on graduation or on curtis or both so people didnt want to spend some on ultimate victory altho it was better than both
3. the album leaked a long time ago

i wish he goes platinum tho, i liked the album

If Cham had a) had a mega hit like ridin (though i think Hip-Hop Police is way better) and he should've jumped into the Kanye/50 album war, then more exposure for him. Such a shame. Also, like Bazz said, the album was out ages ago.

You could say the same shit for Twista (though adrenaline rush isnt as good)

its out on da 1st october in the uk and im gonna definitely buy it when it comes out here.......the album kills both curtis and graduation.......and i think its much better than sound of revenge.....this is a real shame....cos it means people are less likely to make albums like this again cos if the poor sales ultimate victory has received..

if u havnt bort this album.....go out n buy it!

meh it still go to number 8 in da billboard chart

It's quite sad that Ultimate Victory leaked ages before its official release date, but Hip Hop ain't dead yet; not by a long shot. I think this is just a paradigm shift to give other countries to shine on the global Hip Hop stage. Hip Hop sales may be dropping in the US, but here, they are climbing monthly.

Hip Hop is the fastest growing genre in SA at the moment, so for African Hip Hop, there's still a lot to be explored.
The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

after 6 weeks, Chamillionaire sold about 155,000 copies off of 1 single and no promotion, he seriously needs to drop a second single (which will be Industry Groupie) and maybe that will help him sell. If he goes gold, i'll be happy since the album is really dope
