First Week Numbers
Tech-17,300
Joe-12,300

Both Tech and Fat Joe dropped albums this last week and the Nina pushed 5,000 more units. Awesome! I know Joe is also on an independent tip now, but this is still impressive!

A lot of independents have done those numbers... It just show's you how much of a real following Fat Joe has...

Joe was on Chelsea Lately last night.

 

[StrangeStatic]

doesn't surprise me

 

[smittytillidie]

Man...the dumbass Casey Moe guy gets props for posts, but not me. Holy shit!!!

 

[Zer0.MediA]

Whining for props = -props.

 

[smittytillidie]

Shut up Zero...I was just dicking around, geez!

 

[Timm]

Mainstream artist have customers not true FANS. Its just like serving fast food. Once your lil spark is over the customers go on to the next "hot" thing. Then next thing you know the IRS is on they ass then they're working at UPS or McDonalds.

That's why I can always respect indie and underground artist more. They're fans never leave them for what's hot.

 

[L.D.S.]

Yes they do.

 

[BTNH187]

LMAO!

I just realized that is a episode on Boondocks about Thugnificent (if any of y'all watch that)

 

[identity-x]

No surprise. Joey's last album sold 8k the first week. Tech's 30k+.

 

[Birdman_McG]

Its all about a fanbase.

I know what you're getting at, but Fat Joe is not a good example of it. The man has been putting out albums since the early 90's - that's a lot of fast food.

joey isnt a stranger to fast food. chelsea lately is a funny show, but her comedy central presents stand up sucked.

papoose in regards to fat joe...



tech + papoose would be slappin

oh wait... did i get off topic.... my bad

 

[Kain]

I think Lynch did something with Papoose a month or two ago, or maybe it was Saigon. Hm...

It was papoose. He kept talking about it on twitter. I think that will turn out to be a dope collabo

 

[pyromanaic414]

has papoose released any material in the past 5 years?
im still waiting for the other half of alphabetical slaughter.

Kinda OT but yeah speaking of mainstream rappers that was "hot" just a while ago losing everything and losing their shit to the IRS http://www.thisis50.com/forum/topics/irs-raid-young-bucks-home?xg_source=activity

This is one of the only few examples I'll praise ICP. Its better to have a loyal independent following that will stick with you no matter if your shit is garbage or not and stay "wealthy" than "so fucking rich I gotta brag about all the Phantom's, Lambos, Benzs, video bitches, million dollar watches and chains, and Mansions I got" then in about 2 to 3 years when your hype is over those major label fees/360 deals leave you dead broke, then you realize the singles that stayed in rotation on the radio around the country and the albums you went multi-plat off of you only saw 25 cent off of each copy, but wait your mortage, car notes for your 12 or so 6 figure cars you DIDN'T NEED, 7 figure jewelry you can't sell for the same price you bought it , and bills come in for that mansion you bought when you used to be hot 2 to 3 years ago and now you don't have the money to pay it then the IRS is on yo' ass...Niggas living beyond they means on borrowed time.


Had a pissed day finally quit that shitty maintence man job and ain't had no damn sleep.
