I think people didn´t bought it because of the name of the Album, I bet a bunch of white kids didn´t felt okay buying an album named N.I.G.G.E.R., I personally didn´t really like the album since I can´t stand that word, plus he trying to be political, and he is really not.
Plus people are maybe just tired of hearing from Emcee´s how bad black americans have it, or in 50s case how gangsta they are, since that´s not hip hop, or?
it's simple why people aren't buying the new CD. it's because after hip hop really did die or at least it's being buried alive. i love this new album but others don't because they don't care about lyrics.. they just want a catchy chorus and have lil wayne mumble a couple bars. hip hop is in a terrible postion because artist that actually have dedication and talent are being outshined by dance music and sex songs.
i dowloaded it b4 it came out (= I have allhis shit 4rm pre illmatic to the lost mixtapes to nas's mixtape he made b4 streets disciple which had like 41 tracks of some of his best verses Not songs just verses
Good Question bro but spend to much time thinking about it do something to help change what people are listening to. We goota get people to use their minds again that's all. Peace
y are u worried about how much he sold man... if nas said he doesnt care about sales as long as he made a personal album and said what he wanted to say. its better not to sell that many albums than making some lollipop shit
It's like this man. There is to uch copyright infringement goin' on nowadays, and to much leaking of albums, for anyone to sell the proper number nowadays. Nas has been goin' platinum and double platinum since his first album, just check it out on wikipedia. Either it's the copyroght infringement, or people R just willfully, ignorant and buying in to all of this corporate mainstream B.S. Now me, I bought 6 of those Nas albums for some young ones around my block who think weezy is the best contd.
But now they think otherwise. I also copped the lyric book for them so that this way they can reatain, and concume what nas is sayin' instead of weezy sayin' the same damn thing over and over again fryin' their brains.
Dont get caught up with the numbers that's were hip hop is dead Most classic albums didn't go platinum until years later : Jay rakim krs the list goes on
Sorry, just caught this. Sales are down for anything that doesn't have a pop single overplayed again and again and again. Nas did not have a 'Lollipop' but it still says a lot more than most rap albums released this year. I didn't get it yet, but I heard it and compared it to the Nigger Mixtape and it was pretty good.
@RICKisBOSS said perfectly. Little girls are listening to wayne for Lollipop Nas' real and will never make anything like that to make money cause hes real youre not goona get people who listen to mainstream rap to buy a Nas album cause they dont know hiphop.
fuck buying albums, too overpriced. artists dont even make the majority of their money from album sales, its from merchandise, commercials, concerts, etc.
most of the profits from album sales go to the record companies.
HHID dropped during the Holiday Season so that contributed 2 the sales, 180+000 4 the concept of Untitled is pretty good 4 2days market, This is not a trendy album, 2 use an anology, "Wide is the road that lead 2 death nd destruction nd many shall find it, while narrow is the road that leads 2 life nd rightousness nd few there b that go in". The masses r just not goin 2 gravitate 2 this Lp & Nas knew that, so nuff respect to the realest 4 always goin against the grain.
This wasn't meant to reach a wide audience, it's for the few people who actually give a fuck about a message and not the production value of an album, and try to UNDERSTAND the point he's trying to make. Fuck lil wayne he's a gimmick. All rappers like him fuck hip hop up for profit. REVIVE HIP HOP!!!
Nas doesnt care about sales His music speaks for itself. its not for everyone. I bought it 1st day and its the only cd i listen to since. I cant listen to the Carter 3 like that. Shit I couldnt listen through the whole album.I love Real music that can inspire and edutain me at once. Im glad I supported something real and if You didnt make a good choice and do something right for once.
LOL its funny how he thinks 186,000 really 187,087 units isnt good and Nas still came out #1 knocking lil wayne off the charts and right now its at 316,050 units.
I was about a 1000 off sorry for the mistake next time i'll remember to include it should make a big difference lol e knocked weezy off the charts after his album already spent a month there cmon it's easier to do it then plus weezys album has already gone double platinum whereas Nas is still trying to play catch up with his previous album's first week sales Nas is ill but the fact of the matter is that shit didn't sell
There are a number of reasons it didn't sell as well as his last album. 1) He kept pushing the shit back, so people got confused (including me) and didn't know when it was actually coming out... 2) He put out his first single wayyy too late. 3) It leaked earlier then the last album did. 4) All the promo he did for the album was done months before the release. 5) People expected to see "Nigger" on the shelves and not Nas' back. lol With all problems considered, it sold pretty well actually.
I bought the album and I from the SOUTH. Da shit is hot cuz. I have all of NAS albums, but it is a shame that these so called real hip hop fans don't support real hop and to all the so called NAS fans that didnt buy his album, you should kill your self.
I agree with you %100 bro... people are all bout the garbage anymore. This shit goes way over the main population's head.. they need some seriously dumbed down music, like say hurricane chris. fuck that
nah honestly i just think its mainly cuz his whole album was pretty much leaked before it hit stores...i havnt had the chance to buy it...i ve heard it a million times and more but im still going to support REAL HIP HOP
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Erm to me, I dnt like Nas [I know im gonna get that damn thumbs down shit but w/e] I dnt, only because he always causes controversy, I mean props to him for standing up for what he believes but still ... That hip hop is dead thing really killed me [ironic huh? ], I mean I dnt listen to new Artist much, im still in the late 1900s with hip hop but if people are still trying to make it to keep hip hop going and show that its more than people think, why declare it dead ? But hey, thats just me..
i intend to buy the album i just havent had the money yet and on my views as to why others didnt buy it either they are in the situation im in or there scared to buy it becasue of what people would think of them.i mean ive heard the album and nas really is speakin the truth the whole way there is no questioning that he is burning the flame that should have been lit years ago and im very happy to support him and as a last note as for hip-hop in general the only true rapper i believe left is nas
yo man its not me thats worried about wut people think of me i really dont care to tell you the truth i was sayin thats probably why others will not buy the cd there afraid of society and its ways but im above that i could care less if society looks my way for doing something different i am who i am and no one can change that
People need to stop looking at first week numbers. Sometimes albums blow up later with digital you can always buy the album. As far as 50 go, he is played out. He had his time and built an empire off it. It's other dudes time now.
i dont understand it neither i didnt buy it yet i heard it 20 times over before it came out i really need to go buy it because its good i dont think any mom is going to buy it for there kids like wayne i hear old white men listening to it loud as hell there not going to buy an album with a man with whiped marked n on his back
carter 3 was a classic but whats classic to the truth doe.
