Article 01/02/08 - Def sounds top 10 flops of 07

Bkjj11 · 01-02-2008, 08:50 PM

10. Consequnce- Don’t Quit Your Day Job

March 6, 2007 was not a good day for The Conse. He finally drops his long waiting G.O.O.D. Music album debut and debuted at #113 on The Billboard 200, selling 7,490 units. The first that comes to mind is “Where was the promotion” Or at least, where was the marketing. The sad thing about this is.. His album was actually nice.

9. Boyz n da Hood- Back Up n da Chevy

It seems as if the only thing good about Boyz n da Hood is that they have at least one rapper each year that can make a hit record on his own. Kinda makes you feel sorry about Big Gee, Duke, and Jodi Breeze. Which also hurts because, that means they’re gonna be under the thumb of Diddy for another 1,000 years. (The Feelings and Statements in This Article Does Not Reflect the Views of *********.com. Please don’t sue!) Even though they debuted at #55 on The Billboard 200 on October 2, the “N.W.A” of the South only moved about 15,700 units.

8. Pharoahe Monch- Desire

Mr. Monch didn’t really get the same result as he probably thought that he would. Seeing how everyone this year were just begging for real and down to earth Hip-Hop; His album and many of the Underground and Backpack artists suffered the same fate. Not enough marketing and poor album sales. Too bad Myspace promo’s on the featured artist section wasn’t enough. Better luck next year Pharoahe, maybe next year you can possibly sales at least 13,000 copies.

7. Little Brother- Get Back

Phonte and Big Pooh, puts together of one the most slept on Albums of the year. In my opinion they just keep getting better year after year. From “The Listening”, to “The Minstrel Show” they haven’t been able to get the commercial success that they really deserve. After the departure of 9th Wonder (So he can focus on other projects) the album sounded as if they had back up producers who have been waiting to fill the void. The lyrics were of course on point, but the fact still remains… They only manage to debut at #89 on The Billboard 200. And the sales didn’t even touch 20,000 falling 3,000 units short.

6. The Albums Mobb Deep Put Out Separately

It really wouldn’t make sense given both of the Queens Bridge duo two slots, when they’ve both put out solo projects. So let’s throw it all in one big pot that says flop shall we? Now, even though Prodigy’s “Return of The Mac” was just a sample of the quality of his upcoming “H.N.I.C 2” album; It’s still an album that didn’t sell well. Matter of fact, this album wouldn’t be on my list if it wasn’t for the event that’s passed. With Prodigy facing jail time; Mobb would have to be represented by Havoc, who made his solo project debut “Kush”. And, we all know how that went.. Ouch.

hahahahahahahahahahahaha lmaoooooooooo yea P, talk shit now

5. Ringtone Rappers!

MIMS, Rich Boy, Kia Shine, Souljah Boy, Playaz Circle, And Hurricane Chris all bursts into the since this year, as rookies in the game(That can easily get crushed by the Sophomores this year). They had the radio, clubs, television, and your female’s phone on locked. While it was all good for the one or two songs they brought to the public, it really didn’t go for much of anything. You saw more of their albums on the shelves than the YouTube clip of Cam’ron talking about the pool in the background. Now it’s a Where’s Waldo 24/7 when it comes to some of these rappers.. When was the last time you heard of MIMS, Rich Boy and Shine? But luckily for all of us they’ll be gone as soon as they came; and then we’ll have room for real Hip-Hop. Oh just a note: The highest selling rapper of these artists was Rich Boy. (I can’t even lie about this one; He shouldn’t even be included seeing how he went Gold and so as Souljah Boy but I’m just talking Ringtone rappers in general. MIMS sold 300,000+, but he just hit that number.. Sad ain’t it?)

4. Chamillionaire- Ultimate Victory

Cham came with a good album, but the problem was that he didn’t even come close to the platinum sales that he enjoyed two years ago. And what’s even worse is that his album could be disputed as the best of 2007. Cham’s diversity in the album was a blend of personal reflection, political views, thought provoking lyrics and flow wrapped up in one and he still didn’t sale. Things like that really should make a person that loves the genre of music angry when they see an artist like Rich Boy (no disrespect but you’re not nearly on his level) goes gold and gets plenty of love shown; While someone who actually puts out a complete album from the South (And not the kind that get ridiculed) doesn’t have any plaques show for it. I know Hip-Hop isn’t about sales, but damn people.

U MAD?????????? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Cham wants to be president lol.

3. Young Buck- Buck the World

Usually when an artist from the Unit comes out with an album, the whole world goes crazy. Well, not this time; I guess you guys were still mad at Banks. With two videos that was getting a good response from the public, along with a couple of mixtapes that were released that had an even bigger response and the giant G-Unit promoting machine pumping in the background. You would believe that Buck would get at Platinum within a few months. The Critics liked it for the most part but the people are not feeling it I guess. He debuted #3 on the Billboard 200 behind Tim McGraw and “Now that’s What I Call Music Vol. 24” moving 141,083 copies. Which is nice but he really didn’t go much from there.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O

HATE

2. Cassidy- B.A.R.S (Barry Adrian Reese Story)

This is number two for a couple reasons. First it’s the sales, because well.. That’s what I’m talking about. The next reason (Which is a big reason to me) is that he went through all these trails and tribulations, (being in the car accident and the charges against him all being dropped) and still found a way to not make a classic album. With some of the same themes from the second album, (Which I feel is better anyway) Cassidy have yet to create the album he should’ve made. Oh, and all of the bragging and the sneak disses to Jay, remember? He kept saying how his album was going to be bigger than Jay-Z’s and also how it was on the same scale as Kanye vs. 50 Cent. Remember? B.A.R.S started off nice debuted at #10 on the Billboard 200 with about 63,000 sales. But homeboy dropped down 40 spots off the top 50.

1.DJ Khaled- We the Best

You couldn’t even walk down the street without hearing at least one person with the words “We the best! Who? We are N*gga!” blaring from the speakers. We’ve all heard your cries the first two songs dude, chill out. With dozens of videos and a whole episode of Rap City for him, he still couldn’t put up the sales. Even with all the star power on every album he only managed to sale 251,700 copies. And that was the total sales in November. Not really sure if he jumped up 300,000 copies since then. Matter of fact, I’m not even going to talk about this album that much. I’ll let you argue and laugh at ityourself. Wee the Beeest!!!
