I'd say no...simply because there's a lag time. I'd say he'd do 10k this week if a video was up instead of the 4-5k he's probably going to do

and do I think he'd sell on par with Jim Jones? nah...but that's because his video has been out for a long time and he has a pretty solid base because of his Dipset affiliation.

He'd have probably pushed closer to the 35-40k that some of us were expecting if he would sell the first week if he were getting more regular rotation on MTV a month ago

I caught a bit of mtv when apoc or someone was saying he brought mitchell mathers out of retirement. shady sure is shady.... but fuck that subject anyways.

Onpoint.... it's hard to say because usually the mtv machine is used to promote through video's to create a hype about an album that's going to drop. I would say it would increase the sales due to increased volume of exposure. I had to change the channel though because it was nothing but garbage. Dropping a million on a video generates more sales than a mind blowing live performance that mtv buster could never match.... what's wrong with this situation.

I've came to the conclusion..... PEOPLE ARE FUCKING STUPID

GO BUY EVERREADY!!!!!!!!! FTI.............. FUCK THE INDUSTRY

PS.... IT IS NOT FILE TRANSFER INITIATED....

ps is dedicated to you fronting ass mothafuckaz.... you know who you are

i dont think it really will just because most people dont like him cause of anghellic and then because of FTI and people still think its cool to download his shit and only way it will help much is if he was there so people can see him with him in his Tha G state yes he would have a better chance of getting sales then with his Spike Red Hair look.

because there was not a lot of money put into the videos thats why.

and hell yah.. iv seriously come to the feeling of ... if tech dont get on mtv.. who the fuck cares.. fuck the industry.. fuck all rappers that have been made by the simple skeloten.. im so fuckin tired of what if what if.. it just creates a speed bump in all of are minds, when all we wanna do is chill out.. and enjoy the damn music.

what if tech hit mtv? were all ganna do everything we can to help him do that.. but theres only SO MUCH WE CAN DO. and thats that. so untill then.. just keep it keebler.

no. jim jones is selling because he's basically the only thing out of new york right now. they're waiting for jay-z, but will pick up anything that comes out from there. I think tech n9ne is an acquired taste, not everyone will like him. bout to bubble is probably the most commercially appealling song on there, but I don't think he'd get a huge ass jump in sales

I think "Bout to Bubble" could help increase Tech's sales, but in this game it seems as though you need someone to vouch for you...If Dre or Lil Jon said they are down with Tech, I think his sales would increase drastically...

This may or may not be a good thing for Tech because many fans listen to artists because of their affiliation(i.e., 50 and G-unit) and not necessarily because of the music all the time..Dont get me wrong I think some people genuinely like that crew but it was clear that "get rich or die trying" sold 10 million copies because of the hype and 50's affiliation with Dre and Em..they vouched for him..

More evidence to this is 50's 2nd album sold 5 million copies, although still GREAT but what happened to that other 5 million people that bought his first album? I think they woke up and realized they didnt really like 50 as much as they thought.. they just got caught up in the hype like everyone else...His 2nd sold a lot due to his controversy and beef with Ja, Jada and Fat Joe..

my bad...sorry for going off on a tangent..

My point was I think Tech needs someone huge to kind of vouch for him and get him more exposure, but there is also a downside to that..
