I was comparing both of the singles w/ Kendrick...Major Distribution has 10mil.
Those arent small numbers for songs w/ no push.

10 million over a year and a half from 3 rappers fanbases...one being a 90s legend with a dozen albums that was still semi relevant at the time and one being a popular southern rapper...and no push? The song was sent to iTunes, has a music video, and got an official radio release on urban and rhythmic radio.

You mean to say 10 million people globally over 18 months watching a music video for a song with 3 rappers from different regions with different fanbases that was sent out to 2 radio formats and has a music video is impressive?

yea I do...considering Snoops solo videos have trouble hitting a million and Jeezy is struggling himself...10mil is a lot.

His situation is way worse than just getting pushed back. You can only push back people who might come out.

Interscope would love to put out this dude's next flop and be done with him. If he didn't want to be a part of the label, you think Em wouldn't let him go with no problem? You think he couldn't buy himself off the label?

No, he uses that as an excuse because he knows he'll do 75k total and prove his irrelevance.

This is a real bad excuse. He doesn't run SMS himself nor does he build the head phones himself.

And honestly, no one is rocking them. I've NEVER seen anyone out here rocking a pair, ever. I'd be surprised if more than 5 people on this board can quote me and say they see people rocking them.

I live in NYC, I never see people wearing them. I see more people wearing knockoff beats by dre headphones than real SMS audio headphones.

When 50 dropped his last album, Michael Jackson was still alive.

When 50 dropped his last album we were all posting on SOHH...

Unless they were purchased, 10 million views is very impressive

Interscope gains nothing out of putting out an album that is not gonna make them money

I honestly think if he didn't burn bridges with his own bosses he'd be on his 6th album by now

He might be stuck in that record deal for the rest of his life, same shyt he tried to do to Young Buck

He could try to "buy" his way out but his bosses already have more than enough money, they dont need the money he'd offer unless he's offering 8 figures to get out of a deal and release an album that wont even make him 7 figures

Son burned the wrong bridges, like I said had he got down with Beats By Dre he prolly woulda made a nice profit off of it AND got himself a release date

Instead he tried to compete with Beats By Dre and now he's stuck
