http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/808s_%26_Heartbreak

lol see wiki pedia is bullshit

J.a.M · 12-02-2008, 08:25 PM

oooooooooooooooo thats like half of wat he did last time lmao

nigga fucked up dropping that bullshit

dunson23 · 12-02-2008, 08:29 PM

I doubt def jam cares since they knew he would do decent numbers and i think kanye saved his real material for 09 and im not stun by luda's numbers

heelz211 · 12-02-2008, 08:42 PM

kanye will still make a shit ton of money off that album, he produces his own shit and only has 2 guest appearances. hopefully he'll go back to rappin on the next album tho

Mastur Cheef · 12-02-2008, 10:29 PM

MalitiaMan · 12-02-2008, 10:36 PM

homie, what ever shit he makes of the album he will Make 1000 times more on touring..

Nobody ever gets rich on Album sales, only Plies And Rick Ross, becoz album sales money is the only shit they make, 200 000, They aint touring or anything, People Like Game and 50 drop albums and Tour, Game tours, Kaney Tours, Nas Tours, becoz they are known outside USA.

Tour=Money

Album sales=Just Thanks for the Album Drop

Thou, Ringtones=Some Big Money Too/

yungkilla727 · 12-03-2008, 12:04 AM

LMAO at people calling gold the first week low album sales, wait till 50 cent drops stans, he wont have a leg to stand on

keepitgangsta · 12-03-2008, 12:09 AM

right only way u getting paidddddd of albums sales is if you sell a whole lot

Hunger4More · 12-03-2008, 12:17 AM

Too bad his best album is his lowest selling one

actually,with Kaney standarts, Record sales =Fame and How Popular You are..So For Todays Voice of Generation, according to Him, He got outdone By T.I and Wayne/

Kaney is Not on Top anymore his shit was wack, but he is still in the Top 5 rappers.

Wayne
Kaney
====Huge Megastars

T.I
50
===Big Megastars, Rap Wise, but Not Creative enough to be on top, specially 50, he is not as Homo as Wayne and Kangay to Sell that Much,Which is a Good thing

Game
Luda
Jeezy

===Stars, You will see them in the movies, They Have Fans and They are Quite Popular, Would Be Platinum if It wasnt rescession and Digital Industry.

Rick Ross
Plies

Successfull rappers

Mainstream Rappers who sell only due to other peoples Hooks, If they dont have hooks, they have no fans

Nas
Lupe Fiasco
Common
======Very Smart, Very Successfull category for their standars, Gold but very political rappers,one of the only left repping Real Hiphp and Being able to push units on Soundscan.

Bone Thugs

====Only Group to Go Gold
Snoop
Bun B
David banner
Gunit
Nelly and Others.

Flop Dudes, they would probably Go Gold if it was 2004,Dunno, Saleswise, they are not relevant anymore.

Others

Cube
=====One of the Only rappers to be able to sell over 200 000 copies on Indie with Hardly any Single or Radio Play, Very Strong Fanbase.

E40

Tech N9ne, Pushed 100 000+ with Absolutely no Single. Just Of Fanbase.

These are the categories Saleswise.

But Popularity Wise, 50>>>>>>>>, he can Perform somewhere in Antartic Circle where Nobody lives and still gather 30 000 Crowd.

Wayne aint shit worldwide, Just USA who got brainwashed,he aint pushed Shit outside USA< neither Have His HOmo Comrad T.I, around 100 000, Game pushed more Units Outside USA>

usually artists get paid after 500 000 mark, royalities and shit. Depending on album budget, usually most rap albums are 2-3 mils, specially these days,

But Ringtones and Digital Sales make the $$$< I am sure there is alot more we dont know about, Becoz People Like Rick Ross and Plies Rocking big ass chains and shit and happy with their sales and they aint pushed shit outside USA.

Most Rappers get around 0.25-0.4 cents per album, so around 125-350 000 per gold album i guess, depending on Worldwide Sales, Becoz Ne Yo is 600 000 Sold, but 1.2 mils worldwide, Jeezy is 630 000 Sold, and 645 000 worldwide or whatever.

Same with Plies and Rick Ross.

But Who am I judging other niggaz sales, when they get money and i aint shit.
