ICE CUBE IS THE BEST EXAMPLE RIGHT NOW IN SHOWING HOW TO EAT OFF YOUR SALES AND THAT BEING ON A MAJOR DOESN'T ALWAYS BRING YOU BETTER MONEY....SOLD HIS LAST ALBUM INDEPENDENTLY, PUSHED OVER 500,000 UNITS AND MADE A COUPLE MIL.
ice cube a twenty year vet with real business savvy is an exception to the rule. cube was able to call in favors and get media coverage and cube could write million dollar checks to muscle his album through

the rap game is real fucked up, but like DD Kenny said, its a whole new game out here nowadays. People gotta think different and play to the flow of the day. Since internet is the future and everyone is downloading, think of ways to get sales and money while catering to this idea.

Easier said than done though obviously. But the ones who do this first, will be cashing the fuck IN.

am i the only one who is EXTREMELY dissapointed with most of these numbers?? and everytime something like this happens people always come up with SOME reason why its the way it is and and why its excusable. Rich sold 5000 units! 5000 units!? thats HORRIBLE, he had a ill ass video, ill ass production, every bay feature you could want. A solid distributor like KOCH, great single!? Big Rich did nothing wrong, he came out with a VERY solid album period, (as most done deal cats do), its the fault of whoever was directly in charge of his project and how it was marketed, and/or it was the fault of the bay area fans for not standing behind its products. but i would blame the bayfans who dont support the rest of the bay shit cuz locals in NY are pushin way more than 5k independently. This is a dissapointment to me and doesnt show the full potential of our artists. We should have been pushin MAJOR units. If yuk could do it, so can everyone else. the TEAM should have blown up already, MESS and Quinn ya boy and big Rich shoulda blown. Shit EVEN K FED sold more than 5000. This shit sucks.
