you fucked up this blog entry by making it a ‘fans are beneath us’ type of blog. if you just said its stupid to talk about first week sales and the focus should be on sustaining sales over a period, not just ONE week cos thats too much pressure and something a lot of artists arent going to be able to live up to, that would have been cool, but instead you turned into another bitter fucking rant against the fans, many of whom you dont even have yet cos youre a brand new group.

I think the big deal about the numbers (and why people are so fixated on them) is that the numbers are generally down. Way down. When the numbers are this far down, the music itself is in danger. Labels need new improved digital-friendly distribution schemes that plug the piracy hole once and for all (which is the true reason the numbers are soooo far down).

Besides that, it really shouldn’t be something that a fan should concern themselves about. How about which album was the BEST, not which one SOLD BEST.

I am a true fan of the producer. I actually got this page linked to me in a e-mail and when I read it I was disappointed. It is about the music . You guys are taking music to a whole new level and you are right people will hate. My problem was it’s not about the money ,hoes and etc it’s about changing people lives through music. So what if you only sold 50 in the first week, that’s 50 more people you shed a light on. I am a HUGE FAN OF THE WHOLE DAMN group and not just the rapper I just feel you offend people when you said fans wish they were on your level. YOU GUYS HAVE A BIG MOVEMENT AND IT WILL GET BIGGER just be careful how you word things.

So since you seem to have a small issue with “the producer”.. lol I figure I will try and shed some light on the things WE discussed in the blog..

First and foremost this is not an attack on the true fan in any way. Naledge and I still consider ourselves fans as much as we are artists. We aren’t above anyone we are just another puzzle piece in this Hip-Hop world.

We are speaking about those people (haters, stans. etc) who can’t wait for someone to ‘flop’. THEY have placed artists on this high pedastool just to wait and snicker if they fall off. And the point is these people call themselves fans yet they don’t act like fans. We are questioning their intentions and reasoning. Not hating on people who genuinely love the music.

If you check soundscan that’s fine. But it is becoming more common that some people see these charts and laugh at the 67% drop off of an artist in their second week rather than saying ‘congratulations’ 35k more people purchased your album because it’s dope.

I assume what you say is true and you are a fan not a ‘Fan’. With that said you shouldn’t take offense to this because it ain’t about ya boo boo….

Hopefully that cleared it up a little…

I just want to start off by saying everyone looks at ablbum sells. I am sure as a artist you do too. As a fan I look at them if i think a cd is good I would like to know how far it has gotten. Fans don’t hate like you think they do and for you to say they want to feel like they are on your level is very shallow. You say you are about the music then you say you get more hoes,money and etc. For the type of music that you guys are putting out that should not even be your main focus. How can you preach about taking hip hop to a whole new level and you are stooping to the level of what I call “club rappers”. lets just keep it funky you must not be the rapper and if you are you should stop acting all backpack because Like I said in many interviews you stated how you want to help people come up. In this blogg you are what I call HATIN on your fans . The fans are who will buy your damn cd so that you can get hoes,money and all the other bullshit. So do me a favor next time your you sit down and right a blogg make sure it goes with what your are tryin to portray in your music. ONE OTHER THING YOU WILL NOT BE ON ANY LEVEL IF YOU KEEP THINKING YOU ARE BIGGER THAT YOUR FANS. REMEBER BOO BOO YOUR FANS MAKE OR BREAK YOU. I don’t think you are Naledge(because he would not write such stupid shit) so next time have the rapper write the damn blogg.

~album sales dont make a album
~a image dont make a album
~having a classic album in the past doesnt mean your album will be nice
~how much money you make off the album doesn’t determine its worth

Well, you have proven that you can turn a scatter-brained tangent thought of how 5% or less of rap fans MIGHT feel into a blog post. Great Job.

This must be the set-up post for next week’s column explaining why it doesn’t matter if K-Fed outsells you in the first week.
