This sh1t cost me 1400 coli cash, i know the label buying records .... real sales should have been between 100,000 - 150,000.

because no hits and poor reviews, no wonder Kanye leaking pornos for media coverage.

:laff: you deserve to lose those coli points actually thinking she was going to blow up. you lost your mind.

Music labels are lazier than ever.... before in 2005-07, it was getting signed off the amount of Myspace plays and friends you had... then in '08-'10, it was how many Facebook fans and Youtube views you had... now in 2011 and '12, it's all about how many Twitter followers, blog hits and Datpiff/Livemixtapes downloads you get now...

Labels don't realize that only about 1 out of every 1000 rappers will have ANY real success based on that. And ALL of that just gets you a few one hit wonders and some internet sensations that the majority won't care about in the long run.

But that's the music industry for ya now.

I know it's as if the A & R's are doing the most ignorant and basic math ever .

"well if they had 2 million YouTube views , each one of those people that clicked play will certainly buy the album. So let's set them up with a 2 million dollar deal'

That Kanye brand is powerful in hip-hop.

His solo's can go platinum without any hits. MBDTF doesn't have a platinum single.


Mercy is a legit hit. If he has a Mercy type song on his next solo he will go Gold in a week.

Those numbers look about right... we arent falling for the hype and still only spending on quality

2 chainz wasnt suppose to sell all these albums, that damn ad-lib marketing is serious business.

"No hits"?

Sorry to hear you live on Jupiter or up a sweaty hobo's a$$hole.

Mercy is played all the f-cking time, everywhere.

Clique is getting what scientists call a "sh-t-ton" of play.

Then you have Theraflu aka Way Too Cold aka Cold...which got so much g-ddamn attention Kanye had to CHANGE THE NAME OF THE SONG. The track made headlines on blogs. People wrote news articles...about A KANYE WEST SONG.

You're going to contest awareness of the Cruel Summer album? Seriously? It's probably the only rap album this year alllll my idiot casual rap friends know about.

Every Slaughterhouse member would give their left nut, and their first born son's eyes, for their album to get 1/400th of the attention that Cruel Summer got.

Yeah, it's a mediocre album...but "no hits?" Whatever, dude. Trollol
