[DUTCH-F.E]

It means that the biggest artist from the West Coast wont get a Platinum record. It means that unless he catches a lucky single he wont even go gold. Which in turn means the Rap Game is a wrap until further notice.

 

[J-FUNKTION]

absolutely nothing..

 

[yes]

It means nothing game has fallen. Off he didn't really have no hit singles up until the Chris brown collababd that still was only ok:..........glasses Malone album was far better then games but we need to go back to our roots

 

[fillyacup]

beat out jay-z and kanyes shit, thats saying something.

he owe it all to candy coronas

 

[Foul Mouth]

it only means something in So Cal.

 

[antilabs]

it means he barely beat kanye and jay on their third week out on his release date.

they will sell more of their album next week than he sells next week.

 

[antilabs]

overall it doesn't mean shit. it doesn't really effect the way any other artists push their line, game is a rare case w/circumstances that don't really effect most artists. everyone knew the conventional understanding or the old-model of the rap game was fucked, game not selling up to the standard him an artists like him used to sell isn't really a surprise.

 

[Remaq]

Raps are become weaker and weaker and more repetitive. Same ol Same ol

 

[Handz]

It means that this thread belongs in the Southeren California!

 

[HIM]

It means that this thread belongs in the Southeren California!

lol @ telling the owner of this site where a thread belongs....

 

[707north]

It means the Internet and downloading is killing the music industry. The only way your gonna make money in rap is to do as many Rap Concerts as you can. Get out to other Country's cause they loving our music Japan, Germany places like that.

 

[Gas One]

It means nothing unless game decides to start putting people on, which he won't, cuz at one point everyone called him a tongue ringed stripper and he owes no one on the west anything for his sucess.


Maybe dr dre, but even dre turned on him, so why would it mean anything? Unfortunately no matter how much game could be a representative of the west and stand for what we stand for, it does not.

And I don't think 98,000 is being seen more than several dozen million on YouTube + Lil b and kreyshawn so what really should be asked is west coast rap a circus right now?

 

[Young Lou]

Sense yall being so negative it means...

that folks in his own backyard aka THE WESTCOAST ain't buying the cd. GAME cd is really good. I bought it and it is well worth my money.

 

[T-Rip]

Hes more disliked then most cuz of being an attention whore. Thats played a big factor in to why hes not selling much these days.

 

[wheregoliathat]

It all makes sense

that folks in his own backyard aka THE WESTCOAST ain't buying the cd. GAME cd is really good. I bought it and it is well worth my money.

The same people in his backyard that ain't buyin the album must be the same ones Yuk was talkin about throwin' beers at game in that weak ass thread at the top of every BART page. the lulz

 

[Gas One]

The only thing it means is whomever his marketing and promotion team was they were on they job

It means something for game..not 'us'

Remember that children's story about the chicken that made the bread and no one wanted to help make it but when the bread was cooked everyone wanted some of it?

Applies here

 

[Darkshowdown]

It means majority of people outside the west music isnt interested in the west music right now except for a handful of artists. i said this many times on here all these weak local beefs, that hyphy movement and attempts tryna expose each other isnt doing nothing but making shit look bad.

 

[niguardian]

it means people are still payin attention, even tho westcoast rap is a circus like gas said

 

[Slapmaster Promo]

The market for Gangsta / Mob music is fading fast... these kids today "which are the biggest consumers of music if its even bought" are on a different hype today. Those numbers still calculate more money then any other artist would make on a release in the Bay today. There are few artist in the Bay that get the picture right now and I bet you will see them all over the nation soon.
