I dont believe Jacka got the best of promotion but i wasnt really trying to compare these 2 rapper sales I was more just pointing out that rather then say whatever number on a list just post the soundscan. I said it last week you cant even compare a "street" album to a official solo. im still trying to figure out why the fuck theres such thing as a "street" album.
I hear where your coming from fam, the fact is SoundScan costs alot of cheese and this is not his official release so we didnt invest in that. When we get the #'s we will...Billboard calls you up when you chart thats how we knew. As for a "Street Album" its a promo tool people are using nowdays for records that are not going to go the full distance but can keep the fans happy while they get their promo money and real project together and make some loot on the side without spending a hell of alot of money promoting. Thanks!

wax is playin the same waiting game alot of cats play when they hook up with big labels. when he puts some indie #'s down and some good singles, Konvict will pull the trigger.
so wax isnt signed (but says he is?) he had no single (radio). so that mean shit. im a a wax fan but this is bs saysin your signed to something when your not offical.

theres no BS homie. hes signed. but they put out albums when THEY want too...and as an indie rapper, Wax only makes money if he puts out projects. So he has to put out side projects until they will commit to a release date. Clyde Carson is on Capitol, Fab is on Atlantic, where are their albums? I suspect they are playin the same game trying to build up some #'s and some hits...stay tuned bruh, we are just getting started. And if Wax wasnt official why would he be on the Konvict website?
