Anyone know how Prenup sold?

[N.Ill-state]

I think the problem wit the prenup were alot of beats sounded the same n to many "love" songs. Also y'all say 1000 sold soundscan? You have to take into consideration all the trunk sales n alot of mom n pops stores are straight cash biznesses so that soundscan shit is only good for the big stores like a best buy or some shit like that.

I haven't bumped the Prenup album yet but U can already tell by the name and cover that it's on some shit wit the females.Name and cover is dope and catchy tho.Every female I know like his shit
But he do that lil singin shit good like no other rapper can. Then he'll come hard on some violent nigga shit too.Him and the Jack on the same level.
I been playin the hell out that Prenup Leak cd.

 

[Mr. Illmannered]

962 units.

Which should be a sign that the market is officially dead, because I thought it was a very well put together album.

Livewire needs to go on a nationwide tour... hit northwest, southwest, mid-west, south, east coast...


"mean green hooked me up down south, made a name fo myself by word of mouth"

Heard him rappin bout bein in ChicagoLand in Calumet where dem GDs and BDs rotate. He mite as well promote in the Great Lakes region.probably close to 2million black people up I-94 between Gary,Chicago,and Milwaukee.
The way him and Livewire promote and drop shit,they'll win around here cause rappers round here don't do like the Bay artists do.

no offense but u need to slap it then homie... theres a few songs for the ladies but theres a lot of hard shit on there too. the majority of the shit is not for the ladies.

^^^^^Ah yeah Imma bump it and almost sure Imma like it,just ain't got to it yet.It's on deck tho.Be buyin too many cds from rapbay.haha

 

[alleyezzonmeeh]

sellin 20k for bay rappers is like goin platinum these days its sad but thats how it goes..and u can make pretty good money if you do the math that probly equals about 50 to 60 thousand dollars after payin for beats and promo and all that shyt so that aint bad money..i remember Mac Dre sayin in an interview that he sells 25k and up each release and he was releasin alot of shyt rite b4 he died so he was makin bank!!

We all should be ashamed, this album deserves more then 1000 fucking sales, thats a fucking crime, 1000 wont even fucking recoup for all the video's. There is gonna be no point in bay rappers making music anymore, we gonna be stuck with lil wayne and soilder girl.

 

[Mike Manson]

I think they should try to promote themselves better. Go on a nationwide tour. Go overseas. There are alotta collectors overseas that spend all their cash on CDs and Vinyl...

All it takes is one artist to break surface and bring everybody with them. I believe the bay is on the verge of breaking surface lets see how this year plays out

 

[Mike Manson]

The Bay has to come together and do big tours. E-40, Too Short, Luniz, Livewire, and more. All together all over the world.

 

[dzellian]

LIVEWIRE = NOTHING BUT TALENT

 

[playamademex]

Yep, stalin hasn't put out anything less than slaps,Livewire hittin also

 

[YungGung]

i cant believe some of yall that aint feelin it this the best album to drop from the bay in a long time classic shit in my opinion

 

[Townbizz23]

Why do so many people care how much it sold? Stalin is eating the nigga is in demand right now. Touring up and down the Westcoast, all the way out to Kansas City. Album sales ain't everything, and in a world where every album is just a free download away, album sales really mean nothing.

@indieasfuck

..... numbers should pick up. Wanted to pick this up at Best Buy yesterday but online it said they didn't have any in stock at the one by my house.

You are right, to an extent. Albums set up tours, period. If the album is not in demand, why would someone want to book him for a show?

And how do any of us know if he is "in demand" or not? That is pure speculation.

The fact is, he did less than 1000 units in the first week. That is TERRIBLE, especially for someone who has been in the game for a few years and has dropped a shit ton of albums since 2007.

Fact is, this album so far is flopping. What does that mean? Unless Stalin can make money on the tours and stay in demand, as you say, he may say "fuck music" and we wont get SHIT as fans. Why woudl someone keep doing something if it isn't paying his rent?

THERE YOU GO.

 

[BASEDVATO]

I'm curious about itunes... unless that is included in the soundscan


Livewire as a whole should be eating off digital distribution.... Just print limited retail cd's for the REAL fans
