**CHIEF KEEF**

After reading that Complex article I see why he didn't do that video with 50 and Wiz. They dead *** tried to get them for 30K. 

I'm saying, I don't blame him either.

the f 50 on a song called I Hate Being Sober for anyway? lol son doesnt smoke/drink/anything.
 
50-55k projected first week sales.

not bad.

Once you adjust the numbers and account for the new market he would have went double platinum in 01.

Sosa :pimp:
 
55k is good considering he had little to no promotion..

my question for you guys is.. could he have done the same numbers independently?

what exactly has interscope done for him? 

What does "little to no promotion" mean?

I saw a commercial for the album on MTV I believe.

I hear commercials for it on Hot 97.

That ain't "promotion"?

What Keef is known most for isn't exactly easy to market.

For comparison to other artist(s) debut first week sales (in the modern sales era; excluding the heavyweights like Drake, Nicki, etc.)

Yelawolf "Trunk Muzik 0-60" = 5K

Wale "Attention Deficit" = 28K

Currensy "The Stoned Immaculate" = 36K

Waka "Flockaveli" = 37K

Future "Pluto" = 40K

Big Krit "Live From The Underground" = 41K

Tyga "Careless World" = 61K

Big Sean "Finally Famous" = 87K

Gucci "The State vs. Radric Davis" = 89K (I know about Trap House but this was basically his first real big time album)

2 Chainz "Based on a TRU Story" = 147K

Meek Mill "Dreams and Nightmares" = 167K

Kendrick Lamar "Good Kid, Maad City" = 242K

Also...I forgot about the headphones deal so I take back the comment about Interscope not doing anything for him.

Basically. Hes the posterchild of true goonery, you cant put that everywhere.
 
Keef's fans are the internet type so I think 50k is relatively good.   Im sure there is at least another 50-100k lost to the thiefs.

that's where you live though..

they didn't promote it at all down here in GA.

at least not to my knowledge.
 
we got a few mtvs actually..

but i can honestly say i never seen a keef commercial on there.

but then again i don't keep it on mtv all day. 
 
Nor do I but I did happen to catch a commercial.

I also don't listen to Hot that much and caught a commercial.

In the office now and just looked. Dude has the #27 Urban record and #41 Rhythm record in the country with "Love Sosa" and both are trending up.

My point was, none of this strikes me as little to no promotion.
 
Dude literally refused to do 106 & Park, and I'm sure a number of other radio stations, so as far as lack of promo part of that is on him. With that said, I still saw commercials on BET and VH1 for his album. Besides do you know how hard it is to promo a anti-social 17 y.o who acts like he can't even talk? Dude aint vocal like Soulja Boy was.

How the HELL do y'all figure his 55K now = to double plat in 2001? :lol:

So does that mean Kendrick's 240K woulda been equal to 8x plat in 2001? Nah bruh.

Absolutely nothing...

Radio doesn't play 'independent' music, other than Kanye's remake(or w/e) you wouldn't be hearing him on the radio POINT BLANK without interscope.
maybe, MAYBE, a few remixes with the original "don't like" thrown in there.
 
Too much auto tune, not enough gritty street bangas..What is molly water btw?
molly dissolved in water. Drink it. Another consumption method for molly.

That new Reesey money is
