damn Wiz flopped. and Meek not doing too bad considered the album sucked and the singles never stuck. It took Wale over a year to get to gold so i think Meek will go gold in a year as well

Lotta albums I wish more people supported this year (Life is Good, RAP music, Live from the Underground, Big Boi)

But Kendrick is looking solid. He might just get that Plat but I think it'll be in the spring/summer. Still that is rare in Hip-Hop, you only get like 2 a year at most.

West Coast fanbase + Young Hipster fanbase + Dr. Dre pushing you at Interscope helps but ulimtatley the dude was just flat out talented and made a good album and that helped more than anything

:damn: :scust: at Hip-Hop sales numbers. Do record companies even make profits anymore?

For the people that follow sales, how are hip-hop sales compared to other genres?

Some genres like R&B and hard/metal rock are in a worse place and they got generations of fanbases.

Kendrick is prob plat already. Soundscan is only like 70% of retailers and doesn't include international sales. :win:
