Let's talk sales


Recommended Posts

I don 't think Will will quit rapping. I mean when you look back JJ&FP album "And In This Corner" didn't do so well either. But he still kept making albums and made millions. I think the record sales will have to be pretty low to make Will quit. Will has said once that he'll leave rap if he feels that ppl don't need him anymore. So ppl do you think he is important to HipHop and do you think fans still need him? Thats what I thought. I hope that Will makes it in the Top 20 at least or better :thumb: I don't want to put a jinx on it :fingersx: :fingersx: :angel:

the issue of sales for the album is kinda tricky. born to reign may be a factor in all this 'cause it was a disaster. i doubt lost and found will debut at #1, if it does, then it's gonna be a miracle! but among the top 10. 50 cent is still #1, thanks to some very gullible americans who don't appreciate good music. well commercialism is on a high and with 50 doin a ridiculous song like 'candy shop', then the future of music in the States is bleak.

anyways i'm glad will dropped a tight album, a classsic piece of art, that's what matters and he'll wade through

"And In This Corner" went gold and sold around 900,000 copies. Not bad at the time since most albums were only going Gold. Mainstream rap was still growing at the time, attracting more and more people. I think "Lost & Found" will say on the charts for awhile, longer than "Born to Reign" ever did. FP will never quit rapping, he's got it in his blood.

You gotta be realisitic. I doubt Will's album will debut in the top 10 first week. People need to get the word out and other tracks need to be heard by peeps. I think when he releases the next single sales will pick up pace

It is a shame that a lot of people here in the US do not appreciate good music, which is why I don't think Lost and Found will take the #1 spot. After hearing only three of his songs, this album is much better than 50's. It deserves the #1 spot by far, but realistically, it won't happen. Anything in the top 10 would be okay, considering after word gets out how good the album is, the sales will pick up and it will be on the charts for a while.

The United States has been musically poisoned the last wha? 10 years or so. Especially in the Rap & Hip-Hop genre. You have tons of talentless cats with no skill just somehow topping the charts. Why does this happen? Because the US has a large teeny-bopper fanbase and whatever MTV or the radio feeds them, they just automatically love. They have no sense of what is real music or whats really good and whats really crap. They think something is hot now then in like 2 years from now, they won't like it. They just like "whats hot" now. They don't know themselves and what they really like.

I dunno b/c I live in Austria...

there the ppl are very stupid... they like techno, you know? the electronical ****... I always say: this electronical **** could do a monkey too.

hehe lol, yeah I feel it.

The thing that irritates me, that most of them are ignorant, and can't express

their objective opinions, instead disrespect the greater artists.

I dont care if they buy the album or not, I just dont wanna hear sentences like,

''he should do acting only'' , ''is he going to play for disney ? '' etc.

Just say , have respect for will, but I wont buy it, that's it.

US is really f- up, but I think will's actor background will get some good sales,

cause he made a lot of fans.
