UUUUHHH..
40 used to bo on MTV with videos n shit jus like every other mainstream cat..he disappeared to the underground fopr a while and recently stepped back into the light...he ain't nothin new, and for you to say that on a bay forum is kinda idiotic...maybe you should do some researc before you make comments...
and the next person who posts up e40s sales needs to find another hobby and move on..its not like next week his album sales suddenly gonna triple n shit..the album came and is the process of goin..so let it go and lets move on..
e40 ain't goin nowhere..he'll have more alubms for ya in the future..so every1 postin sales please shut the ufff up..
thank you
i think its because "Tell me when to go" was a terrible single for the radio(i'll bump that song anytime,but since its on the radio half the time i hardly ever knock it.....its a good song btw), but i just thought that releasing "Tell me..." wasn't such a good move to promote his album. "Tell me.." was either a hit or miss (either you like the song or you don't). And in order for e40 to get his album to "sky-rocket" would be if he released a song that would appeal the fellas(U & Dat was for the radio/girls/clubs). If he released a track like (Rep Yo City, Pimpin[trillville],& Pussy Niggas for examples) the guys would really look into his albums.
How do you think Mike Jones(back then), DFB(white tees), Paul Wall(sittin' sidewayz), Young Jeezy(and then what), T.I.(what you know), Chamillionaire(riding dirty), and Bun B(git it....it was an alright song, but it lead me to buy the album and its one of my favorite albums i've bought in a looooong time) released such hot albums? Because their single were knockin! If your single ain't as hot as the artist i've listed above you need to pick another producer or pick another song as a single, imo.
This hyphy shit ain't cutting it for E40 & Sick Wit It-30/30 imo and if he would have stuck with the sound he's been coming wth on his last 3 albums i'm sure his album would have picked up by now. After i bought Ghetto Report Card i havn't listened to it in a month. Lately Houston has been bringing nothing but heat in my opinion, especially the artist coming from rap-a-lot. So H-town has been doin a great job at keepin my ears directed their way.
But to tell you the truth....hyphy has NO REPLAY value and that's the damn truth.......It's cool to listen to a "hyphy song"(if that's even a term, i don't know) but after a few listens it has no replay value. SO for the artist that are still making the music they've been making in the past.....keep doing you, don't jump on the hyphy bandwagon, because it has no longevity. It might get you on the radio, but you ain't gonna pull no magical record sales.

I hear exactly what you're saying. But, the reason why The Bay/40 has been getting the attention from mainstream media is because its a 'new' sound to those outside of The Bay, and even new to some people here...
The sound on his last 3 albums wouldn't have done any better now than they did then, so thats why they felt like they had to sort of re-invent the sound, to something more appealing to the masses, which at the current moment happened to be uptempo club music...
Just my .02
