I think its funny that despite the number one song in the nation (we fly high).. 2Pac is still ethering Jim Jones from beyond the grave

3. david Says:

but wassup with gnarles…..peopel actually are buying that shit but nobody is given them credit…..they outsold jay and nas put together if u minus the albums def jam buing of their own shit…..

4. esbee Says:

I’m quite happy for a group like gym class heroes and Gnarls Barkley..see if first week numbers were really anything to go buy, one could say on a major they flopped and on an indie they did ok or who knows below average? Look at them now over 1M sold..

5. Rizoh Says:

Gnarls Barkley = proof that the internet can work to your advantage if you know how to work the system.

6. ian Says:

Gnarls Barkley = MASSIVE pop radio hit. Had almost nothing to do with the internet, sorry.

Eminem = massive built-in fan base even if it’s smaller than it once was.

Jeezy = massive urban radio and video hits.

See a pattern here? Get ya music on TV and the radio and it will sell. This sh-t ain’t rocket science, people. Unfortunately a lot of the music blog-reading types champion cannot compete in that realm.

7. Illmatic620 Says:

Jay had tons of loyal fans buy his stuff right away first week, same for Nas plus Nas also had holiday, aint no one buying their own copies thats bs

8. DAYNE Says:

RIZOH I CAN’T HOLD BACK THE TEARS THAT GAME STILL AIN’T PLATNUM YET WHAT IS BEEN LIKE 2 YEARS SINCE HIS ALBUM DROPED JUST KIDDING. BUT FOR A DUDE THAT TALK A LOT OF TRASH I SAY AH AH. YOU SEE IF HE HAD JUST HUMBLE HIS SELF HE WOULD HAVE BEEN PLATNUM AND HAD A CLASSIC ALBUM BUT ALL THAT NEGATIVE ENERGY HE BROUGHT AROUND HIS SELF JUST OVER SHADOW HIM.

9. DAYNE Says:

I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING FOR THE FIRST TIME PAC AINT GONE PLATNUM WOW.

10. DAYNE Says:

OH YEAH FAT JOE, WHAT HAPPENED MAN I GUESS WHEN YOU DO PEOPLE GRIMEY IT COMES BACK AT YOU.

11. DAYNE Says:
