I don’t care if it was trash you retarded hater that’s not what I was asking.

What the hell are you saying?! All I understood was “hiphop is dead” which I agree with.
shut up bitch

lmfaooo what a lame…
Any human being that hasn’t been diagnosed with a mental disorder in the past should be ashamed of himself for supporting a retard fuck like Gucci Mane.
shut your gay ass up probably bought coathanastrangla fuckin lame
Brotha Lynch Hung >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Gucci. And I’m not really even a fa of either, but there’s almost no-one wacker than Gucci.
soulja boy lmao
Lupe may probaly snag a gold plaque at the same rate rick ross and B.o.b did with there lattest cd. As long as he does it, even if he doesn’t it’s good that he got the number 1 album of the country
no its not! he said he was putting out an inferior product, and people went out and bought that. if he said “go buy my old work that i put feeling and emotion into” and it wouldve moved hella iunits then itd be a victory. lol
I mean he had the number 1 album at one time.
These numbers cannot be real.
Jim Jones sucks, Capo was garbage.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The bawse, huh. Yah, he was the bawse when he was working with the same fucks that all rappers talk shit about…the department of corrections. The bawse? What a fuckin joke, like your bitch ass. Obviously, you’ve never been to prison so u don’t know shit about these fuckin CO’s. What a bitch you are for being on his nuts.
lol yea and slang loses something when it uses more letters to write than the word ur replacing!! faggot!
MAX B VIGILANTE SEASON!!! WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT? THE PHYSICAL COPY WILL BE RELEased APRIL 26TH..BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR!! TRUST ME FUKKKKK JIM JONES SNITCH ASS FAG RUNNIN OUT RUCKER PARK WITH HIS CAPO CD SHOVED UP HIS ASS… HE SOFT
ok
Shut up you retarded nigga. Actin like you know them personally…Outta hea’ wit that…
I don’t know that is funnier. The comment itself or you meaning it serious.
i cant believe wiz khalifa’s wack ass album sold more in a week than raekwons album has in over a month, that is just sad, GO BUY SHAOLIN VS WU-TANG if you havent!
Why do album sales bother you so much? Wiz just has more fans than Rae that’s all shut up and continue to be a rae fan and keep it moving…stop trying to get people to like what you like if people don’t like raekwon then people don’t like raekwon
sales dont bother me, it obviously means nothing
real artists dont move records these days, if you wanna sell big numbers you have to sell your soul and make pop music for little girls
Ok and …. if your fav “real” artist is not selling why does it matter? why worry about sells…obviously it bothers your life to write about it
what the hell are u talking about? hes just making an obvious point that everyone in music knows. and sales like anything else are a reflection of something else, it cements the fact that “i” was right. and wiz outselling people who we consider in higher standards, makes us wrong in some small way. what we have to remember is that people as a whole are dumb, well below average. and take solace in that fact.
live well.. thrive. kp.org/thrive
it so simple! if…(follow be now ok)IF you like raekwon you may buy his cd
it’s as simple as that,1,2,3
Brotha Lynch all day every fucking day believe that
@K.i nobody does big numbers anymore dick head get a reality check sales haven’t & won’t be the same again since ’07 because cunts like you d/l an album or buy it then put it out there like a hooker.
wow! who is still buying jim jones music. WOW! I know some of you bastards here buy that shit. Shows yourselves BITCHES!!! hahaha
lol ths shit wack as fuk
artists arent fads, and i aint heard the album but i bet u aint either. but its not impossible that its good. why is every person in here a fucking douche?

Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m surprised by Capo’s numbers, damn, I thought that shit was goin to flop…
http://www.youtube.com/user/superhopit
20,000 first week , thats horrible even on an independent tip , he flopped and thats quite obvious
@huh – U got no fucking clue what you’re talking about. 20K first week as an INDEPENDENT? That’s pretty fucking good any way you slice it. Majority of underground artists would be lucky sell 20K altogether.
20k first week is good as far as independent.
20K first week for independant is pretty damn good, most niggas prolly didn’t even know about the LP.
you need to sell at least 100.000 copies to make good money in the independent game….at least!
wiz khalifa shit was wack idk how he still selling capo album should be on top i dnt even like ny rappers but all his tracks were cool on capo breezy’s album was cool too
Dang Eminem’s gonna be in the top 100 a year after then album came out…. Another 15,400 sold last week. Wiz is doing some good numbers too..
hip hop sales on the decline , where is the talent but at least wayne coming out with tha carter iv , i’ll be sleeping overnight at best buy to the first dude on the block bumpin it all day everyday
LMAO, ur a fag, what nigga waits outside of best buy for an album. you prolly a virgin too. Carter IV is gonna blow like Wayne does to Birdman
yo slapy he is a big wayne fan, your not, get over it. that doesn’t make him a “fag” or a “virgin”. And maybe just maybe you should wait until carter 4 comes out and listen too it before you say its gonna blow. Peace.
who sleeps overnight to get an album that sounds like some gay shit to me
4 rlz, the album gonna be on the internet 3 weeks before it goes to best buy
and who goes to best buy, go support a real record store you virgin
Dagger Mouth + The Family Sign – two of the best albums released thus far this year. I’ll throw Mac Lethal’s North Korean BBQ Mixtape, and maybe Blueprint’s Adventures in Counter-Culture into the mix as well.
i’m actually quite surprised Breezy is pulling such good numbers. any publicity is good publicity i guess
That nigga still wont go plat though.
man those numbers are low. yall seen those snoop numbers man. man i havent gotten any of these records cause no jobs out there real talk.so im here listenin to this mixtapes. and real talk i can ask the homey he got them but no. well get them later we gotta support this shit.
Dame an album only cost 10 dollars You must be really be broke
I wanna know where you’re buying your albums from. They normally sell between 12 and 18 dollars. Maybe 10 online if it’s an old or non promoted album. And plus album’s these days aren’t worth purchasing
i wish albums were $10….minimum $12-$18 at least….please tell me where you cop your shit…
when will jim jones realize hes not relevant and just quit?
Man, there’s just no “ideal” rapper for y’all is there.
If anyone sells a lot, he sold his soul of somethin’.
If anyone sells shit, he irrelevant or wack as fuck.
Other than making a lot of money, being a rapper must be the worst thing ever…
lol real talk i feel you on that
Where are the numbers for Kanye’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy?
please calm down
muthafuckas always yellin “WE NEED REAL HIP HOP” and Raekwon has only moved 52,000 copies. y’all don’t want no real hip hop…..
Doing a song with Just Beiber aint real hip-hop either…….
