“A fucking DISASTER! According to hitsdailydouble, Jay-Z sold 133,146 records last week, a whopping drop of 81%. In other words, ALL BETS ARE OFF!”
—Bob Lefsetz, music industry legend
Again it’s Wednesday, so you know what that means. Time for yet another post lamenting the fact that rap CDs are selling as if you could get AIDS from listening to them.
Last week it was Jay-Z only selling something like 600,000 copies of Kingdom Come when it had been predicted he would sell somewhere in the neighborhood of 850,000 his first week out. At the time, I suspected this was due to bad word of mouth after the first day or so.
Now comes word that the album has experienced a fairly monumental 81% drop in its second week. Holy crap! That’s pretty bad, even by current hip-hop standards. Again, I can’t help but think that word has gotten out about how much of a shit sandwich the album is.
Had the album actually been worth a shit, my bet is that it may have actually sold the 850,000 copies that first week and not experienced nearly as much of a drop its second week out. With all the hype surrounding it, it could very well have been the best-selling Jay-Z album evar.
But who gives a shit about Jay’s album sales anyway? The guy’s still worth like half a billion dollars. That alone proves he’s a brilliant business executive and also still a better MC than Lil’ Wayne at this stage. The fact that the Olsen Twins are worth about as much is neither here nor there.
Similarly, the Clipse claim to have lived ridonkulously well for the past three years without spending any rap dollars, and we should hope they aren’t just making that up. At the rate Hell Hath No Fury is selling, it’s not like they’re gonna have any rap money to spend anyway.
Their long-awaited hip-hop Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (except that it’s not the best album evar) only sold a pathetic 78,000 copies, to debut at number 14 on Billboard’s Top 200 albums chart in a week when hardly any notable new albums were released.
Oh, how fascinating it would be to be a fly on the wall in the offices at Jive Records right about now. You know somebody’s gotta be kicking himself for dropping all that bank on videos for shitty singles like “Mr. Me Too” and “Wamp Wamp.”
All because the Clipse are a few d-bags on the Internets’ favorite rap group. Man, I could’ve told Jive a long time ago that hardly anyone would run out and cop Hell Hath No Fury on the strength of those two shit sandwiches. In fact, I did.
To paraphrase Samuel L. Jackson in Jackie Brown, obviously what we have here is a clear case of Internets hype trumping common sense. I happen to like the Clipse, but I can’t help but think it’s a good thing Hell Hath No Fury only did as well as it did.

what a surprise, Bol starts off by hatin on Jay, the album IS shit though….its a shame that talented niggas like The Clipse cant sell, cuz they got skills on the mic unlike most rappers these days. I actually bought the cd, last week and it was good, not classic, but good. I think they need to get production from other producers and just keep grindin till people realize they are some of the best out.

Kinda sad that you’re still harping on about Jay-Z, Ashlee. Anyway, The Clipse went gold back in 2002 before Cable Modem’s destroyed the music biz, in a time when everything that dropped went at least platinum. Why in the hell would anyone have expected them to do big numbers in a time when nobody is going platinum? The same internet stans on the net are also the ones that just download all their music anyway. *smh* In any event, you still look like a cross between Michael Clarke Duncan and Gilbert Gottfried. No Pharrell. UNO!

You think people was complaining bout sales in the eighties? no. they was just jamming. Bol, its obvious to everyone who can read that you dont like Jay-z. Therefore, just keep his name out your mouth and stop bashing him. I’m sure he doesn’t care about your opinion of him.

WEezy would run lyrical laps around Jay-z…its like a exercise hey J…well when was the last time J jumped on the track to work out prior to making those wack songs on his album…he is out of shape…Weezy been workin out on a consistent basis…i put my money on Weezy knockin J out in the 2nd round…but hey Weezy,”if you wanna have fun do it in one”~Ali movie
Clipse spit a few hot lines but who doesnt’t…its about the complete package…and they dont have it…their package comes to you with a hole in the box and when you open it theres nothing but anthrax…
Jeezy on the other hand knows how to deliver the total package…

As for the Clipse, I personally like the album. I been riding to it since I copped it(pharrell needs to start using bass, they dont bump like they should in the wheel). Only time will tell if it’s classic. I just like it because these guys can rap thier asses off. Every song has memorable lines in it. I agree with lonzo though, they should try to branch out next time, cause by then the whole neptunes/clipse sound will be old.

Their brand of crack rap just doesn’t stand out amongst the rest of the crack hop (i.e. TI, Jeezy, Rick Ross, etc.)
maybe they should use their lyrical gymnastics to make a record that people will buy (i.e. in general most people could careless about crack), and break ties w/ Star Trak!

Bol is a hater through and through, but its ya’ll’s fault for listening to him. I just expect him to hate on everything so it doesnt bother me. He has terrible taste in music (although his semi praise for Blue Carpet Treatment was on point)and he jerks it to Gin Blossom videos. He lives in a city NOTORIOUS for sh*tty rap music, and he crowns Jim Jones the “king” of NY even though he wrote an entire post about how he cant rap and only 12yr old Jigs listen to him. Bol is an over-sized, confused, black baluga whale looking, virgin, tub-o-lard, who still lives with his mom. So his taste in music is obviously skewed towards Sh*t sammiches.

Jay album isnt trash its mature…The nigga cant talk about hustlin in the streets because he probably hasnt done it since vol 2. So what that means is when dipset actually release a catalog of music that can with stand time then say something until then shut up and leave jay alone. The very ones dissing him probably were the same one throwing up the roc sign for the black album. Get over it he has the highest selling album this year for a rap artist, and theres nothing dipshit, rae, wayne, and any other nigga that has something to say can do. The nigga did numbers and the album is hot (with the exceptions of tracks 9 and 10).
Do you fucks listen to music/ or do you just skim thru it?…”jay-z (renegade)
oh yeah and as for the clipse…the need to do another album quick because this was not a good look there were a few bright spots(mr me too was a lil wayne diss for those who didnt know.)but the niggaz are talented and this is not really worth the purchase

It wasnt even an immature “your fat, you live with your mom, you smell, & you look like a lost brown M&M” type of ethering….This was one of those etherings that your Mom gives you after you have done something seriously f*cked up & calls you out on your poor behavior. Bol deserved it too after the verbal sewage he has been spewing for the last week.

oh yeah one more thing game may his second week did about the same amount of numbers jay did…jay will go platinum looks like around january and nas’s album will likely be better..
In 07 i wanna see what 50 is going to do if he doesnt do well in the sales deptment you can officially write g-unit off as the second coming of murder inc. If 50 is going to sing on the whole album like he plans to do he will be commiting suicide to his own label. And it would be messy for buck because no one would really want to hear his album. And im telling you Jay will probably do another album and air alot of cats out then retire. I think he feels obligated to do this and i really think he is going to show out summer jam this year and we actually might see the blueprint hov all over again(and maybe a jigga&nas diss song)That would be some shit…scares me

MR.MEE TOO HAD A GOOD CONCEPT BUT THE BEATS WERE STRAIGHT WACK…WAMP,WAMP WAS BETTER BUT THEIR SINGLE JUST DIDNT GET ENUFF SPINS. AND BY THE TIME WAMP, WAMP WAS GETTING SPINS IT WAS TOO LATE. I GUESS THE SOUTH DONE KILLED TRUE HIP HOP BY DUMBING DOWN THE MASSES. WITH ALL THE PROMOTION JAY GOT(AND AN AVERAGE ALBUM, NOT WACK)..IT LOOKS BAD. MAKES U WONDER WHAT NUMBERS NAS WILL DO AS JAY SEEMS TO HAVE REFUSED TO PROMOTE NAS’ SH*T. ALBUMS ARE JUST NOW SELLING…MUSIC IS DYING OR SOMETHING. THE TOP ALBUM DIDNT EVEN SELL 200,000. I DONT KNOW WHATS GOIGN ON…NAS MAY JUST BE RIGHT. THINGS ARE DYING.

On the strength of their first two singles, “Mr. Me Too” and “Wamp Wamp (What It Do)”, I wouldn’t necessarily call them “shit sandwiches” as Bol always eloquently puts it. However, I will go so far as to say that they didn’t help sell the album because the radio hardly ever played either one of those singles, and I’ve only seen the videos through YouTube. (I don’t bother with BET or MTV anymore because they play the same ol’ bullshit anyway.) It’s obvious that in today’s market, you need a serious banger to grab people’s attention, but half the time, you have to have a certain sound in order for people to like it. It’s almost like the Clipse’s first two singles are too left field for the listening audience, and I have to agree with Bol: I don’t hear any REAL singles outside of those two songs when I listen to the album.
I think HELL HATH NO FURY is getting mixed reviews from the people but not necessarily the magazines–I personally liked it for its lyrical prowess, not as much for the beats, which were better on LORD WILLIN’. I think that there a certain amount of people will agree that it was better than KINGDOM COME and will also agree that HHNF had nowhere near the amount of promotion as KC either. That’s part of the reason for the lack of sales, but when you see Jay-Z taking an 81% dip in sales from his first week, you know that there’s a bigger problem. The consumers of America are becoming disinterested in hip-hop ALBUMS and refuse to chance wasting their money on records that might not be worth crap years down the line. You gotta have a straight-up classic or thoroughly interesting and entertaining hip-hop album nowadays in order to make a serious dent in the sales department. Point blank period.

People are focusing on the 80% drop too much I think. He still did better second week than most other rap releases this year did first week.
Not to mention that XXL doesn’t mean classic or even perfect, really. Since they don’t do half ratings, that could be a solid 9 or 9.5/10, maybe even an 8.something. People need to really base their opinions on something other than the opinions of others, which seems to be what a lot of people are doing with HHNF.

I agree with Bol. I was lookin’ towards both Jay & Clipse album. Listenin’ to ‘em right now, matter of fact. Although, it’s sad that The Black Album is better than Kingdom Come, in my opinion. I’ma run the “classic” test, though. Ya’ll know what that is, right? Wait a month or two, maybe three. Put the CD in your player. Have a listen. If it’s not like the first time you heard it, the thing isn’t classic. You’ll probaly see that almost all the shit out now will fail this test. It’s a damn shame. Ask Nasir ’bout the state of Hip Hop. Go ‘head, ask.

Man, I think Clipse did well, considering the state the industry’s in today. And that album is a burner…better than anything else this year, for sho.
I would’ve copped Kingdom Come but that’s some weak shit. Weaker than even Blueprint, a feat I didn’t believe possible. He shoulda stayed in the boardroom and out the game after the Black Album, now you know he’s gotta come back next year and bring the heat or risk losing his legacy.
NaS is right, man, Hip Hop is Dead. Y’all gonna have to learn to stop measuring records by sales, cos the people definitely ain’t feelin’ it no more. Rock’s been dealing with this for a minute…soon true heads are gonna recognize that soundscan numbers ain’t got nothing to do with good product.
Clipse and the Roots both dropped classics and niether sold. Time to get back to the real.
Dunno if Weezy’s the best rapper alive but mos def he’s rocking the mic harder than Hova right now, and that’s real.

I thought I was the emo one on this site. Everyone’s all emotional today. Bol is a hater but that’s just his gimmick. In real life he’s probably all timid & corny. He’s just another one of there internet dorks that doesn’t have a personality unless there’s a keyboard in front of him. Only difference is that he has a platform and an audience. Anyway, at some point, Jay Z and Nas are gonna destroy the dips, Hov and the Clipse are gonna end Li’l Wayne’s career, and that’ll be that. Young Buck is probably gonna take L againt Weezy, but once the rest of the Unit joins in they’re gonna whoop Wayne something fierce. They can’t beat the Game but the Weezy kissing Baby picture is more than enough ammo. Ok, back to Scrubs. PEACE!

To the people saying stop talking bout sales,you have to, If an artist don’t sell, no more label no more albums from your favourite artist it is crucial for them that they do big numbers.
Good Blog Bol.
Internet hype is nothing as proven by Lupe Fiasco.
Don’t get it twisted alot of artists do deserve to sell more (including Lupe) but them and their respective record label needs to work harder to break that mainstream barrier.
Real Talk.
Jay-Z Kingdom Come one of the worst albums of 2006…the worst goes to Eminem Presents The Re-Up.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS !!!!
The Game- The Doctor’s Advocate one of the best albums of 2006… the best goes to Obie Trice-Second Round’s On Me.

I realise Obie is on the Re-Up but he ain’t used as much as most the other shady crew and when he is on not that great.

first off, let me say I read your writing on the daily, and 99.9% of the time respect what you say. this is just an observation though: it seems like for every time that you, or anybody else, says something critical of jay-hell-no-vah, you give him a compliment in the same breath? take the above for example, you said his c.d. was a “shit sandwich” and then commenced to appalaud his rhyming skills being better than that of weezy f. baby (please say the baby). i disagree totally. i’m not saying anybody is hotter than the next, but it is official and must be noted, Shawn Corey Carter is IRRELEVANT! the man has fallen off. and this is his own fault. all that retirement bullshit. i can understand an old guy wanting to take it easy, but if he loves hiphop he should do it until he can’t anymore.and he just can’t. don’t front on the fact that his lyrics are subpar, and have been since that “blueprint” waste. and how do you know he has all this dough? i’m just saying there are a handful of countries that don’t recognize their royal families, so the sad saps revel in the fact that they have a name to get their clout from. they don’t necessarily have dough or power, just a reputation. sound like anyone you know?

people of this generation fail to relaize that hiphop has taken the backseat officially to POP music…POP music made a serious comeback and is dominating the game once again…just like it did in the early 90’s
so hiphop doesn’t have a chance in sales these days…so i pretty much EXPECTED the clipse to make that much, because it’s an album that’s not going to be commercially appealing anyways…in all honestly since it lacked heavy promotion and so on, i thought it would of sold less than it that…so this isn’t a BAD thing for the clipse for the 1st week…
as for jay-z…he’s supposely considered a POP ICON…he sells out the garden and do world tours and doing shit that U2 is doing on the humanitarian front…is suppose to be larger than life…so an 81% DIP is embarrassing…

Clipse = pure cocaine rap. Thats why they don’t sell though these dumb asses only want watered down crack rap(capo, t.i, birdman). Pharrell isn’t going to get sales for someone like he did 4 years ago. The Clipse need r&b bitches to sing their hooks for singles(ashanti, cassie, xtina maybe)
Bol looks like the lovechild of charles barkley and wesley snipes
Keep hating though Bol I appreciate and find it amusing(no weezy f)

Damn ‘dats 2 bad about the Clipse album & shit cause I was thinkin’ bout copin’ ‘dat. They still got mad skills though, I just don’t think they mix wit’ the Neptunes beats this time around so they should branch out a bit.
Bol, why in the middle of this did U take the time 2 hate on the real Best Rapper Alive Lil’ Wayne? U must want a full on the lips kiss or something from Young Money? Jay can’t see ‘dat dude and the Show Me What U Got Wezzy kill fest proved it. Now Wayne just said in Complex Magazine ‘dat he is better than Jay so let’s see what the big lip dudes does now ‘dat his old dust fartin’ ass has been offically call up outta his Rockin’ Chair. . Dat young boy gonna fuck around and give Jay a heart attack cause he be a Marshun.
Bol, do a article going line for line Jay vs. Wayne and call it “Rap Rocky 5″ 2 see who the best Rapper alive really is.

Jay’s album was not what i expected but it is good . It’s a mature record from him . The Clipse on the other hand should be selling big , it makes no fucking sense why not ? Hip-hop is in trouble .

The fact that the clipse didn’t sell records doesn’t take away how nasty they are on the mic. Yung Joc sold over a million of his ablum only because he had 2 CLUB and RADIO singles. Can anyone sit here & tell me yung joc is better than the clipse? i didn’t think so. The fact of the matter is radio=records.

not to be repeatedly stating the obvious but the major drop in sales is a result of ipods, if your listening mp3’s what the fuck you gonna do with a waste of plastic cd. its past a mp3 world, and if you are using mp3’s are you gonna pay for a limited selection at itunes or get shitloads of free anything off rapgodfathers, mixfiend, or any torrent site? every music except for older people music is taking massive hits in sales to due a pirate generation and anyone who thinks record sales is gonna be where it was is kidding themself.

Jay-Z is The equivalent of Michael Jordan of the wizards or if you watch Rugby Jonah Lomu after his kidney transplant. They were good back in the day but nows the time to retire. As for The Clipse their album thanks to the xxl rating was overhyped like the wwe’s ECW.At the most an xl. Isnt that what xxl mag rates everyone these days.Bol keep the jay bashing comin coz its hilarious specially when that fag Rey starts writin little comments stickin up for jay

Let’s see, 680,000 copies his first week and 130,000 copies his second week. It does seem like a big drop off and it is! Although that is still 810,000 units in two weeks which will make in platinum in a month. Any and I repeat ANY artist let alone rap artist would take those numbers. Let’s face it, no one is going to do 50 and Em’s numbers anymore in the rap game. It’s just not going to happen. Jay’s new video for “Lost One” will keep his sales relatively stable because that a certified banger! Clipse suck, Pharell is overrated big time! No one is checking for them. Go cop the “Blue Carpet Treatment” and listen to Imagine. Light a blunt to it because you’ll definitely appreciate two real hip-hop legends!

Get off of Jay dick! Nigga this post is titled “Clipse catch a brick” and you start off with your normal “let me hate on Jay-Z first” segment. That nigga did more in his second week than Jim Jones(who “you” consider to be the King of New York) did in his first. So why you not callin’ Jim Jones cd a shit sandwich? You a hater and you are totally boring at this point. Your stupid ass views on hip-hop is why it is dead. Eat a dick nigga…

The game has change to where its important to see how many albums sold more than just a good fuckin album. Clipse and Hov Cd’s are both banging and I really dont give a fuck about how many they sold. It was the shit back then to go GOLD, now if an artist do not sell more than 5 million the album is trash? What the fuck is going on in this music world? This blog is the worst and half you bitches are probably no more than 25 years old hating and shit. Shut the fuck up and listen to the music, if you dont like it then fine, but album sales has nothing to do with an good album. Fucking bums.

None of this is to say that we shouldn’t, as music critics, go ahead and critique music. It’s just to say that it’s not particularly cool to carelessly lob shots out into the abyss of the Internet. We need to remember that, more often than not, those shots hit their target. And they hurt.
Critics are going to funk up artists’ days sometimes. But we shouldn’t be reckless with it. We shouldn’t revel in it. There’s a point at which legitimate criticism crosses over into something else. It’s happened a lot this year on the web. There’s been a rush to see who can be the most outrageously critical. It’s resulted in some fantastic writing. And a lot of bullshit.

I TRULY THINK XXL AND THE INTERNET DOWNLOADING IS REALLY HAVING A IMPACT ON MUSIC SELLS…I MEAN WHY BUY IT WHEN YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT IS THE THOUGHT OF MOST WHITE AMERICANS…..(AND BLACKS)……JUST LIKE CD’S TOOK THE PLACE OF RECORDS,THE INTERNET IS GOING TO REPLACE CD’S…..THE WORLD IS JUST CHANGING… WITH MORE AND MORE TECHNOLOGY AVAIBLE TO YOUNGER PEOPLE THE WORLD WILL CONTINUE TO CHANGE THE WAY WE LISTEN AND BUY MUSIC……….
THINK BACK TO ALL THE CLASSIC’S ALBUMS….DR.DRE,NWA,2PAC,BIG AND ETC.YOU NEVER HEARD ANY OF THE SONGS BEFORE THE ALBUM CAME OUT…..WHEN YOU DOWNLOAD IT TAKES AWAY FROM THAT
(RUSH) OF EXCITMENT…..WHEN YOU DOWNLOAD OR HEAR IT ON A COMPUTER THAT CAN ALTER YOUR VIEW (BECAUSE EVERY PERSON AND ARTIST KNOWS) THE FIRST TIME YOU HEAR A SONG IS GOING TO VIEW HOW GOOD YOU (THINK) THE SONG IS…( YES I SAID THINK BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW GOOD THE SONG TRULY IS ONCE YOU HEAR IT AND DON’T LIKE IT YOUR VIEWS ARE JADED)…
JUST THINK WHEN YOU FIRST HEARD ANY SONG THAT YOU LIKED WHERE YOU WERE AND HOW YOU VIEWED THE SONG AFTER THAT…….
“THATS WHY MOST ARTIST THAT MAKE CLUB SONGS HAVE A BIG BUZZ BECAUSE WHEN YOU FIRST HEAR (ITS GOING DOWN ) YOU ARE HAVING FUN WITH IT…………………………….

good point on the where you here it the excitement that was connected to unwrapping the cd and reading the credits and flipping through as oppose to sitting in front of the computer flipping through way too much music to appreciate any of it. On that note anybody bumping more fish yet? it is pure fire better than fishscale. i don’t know cause i don’t have the credits but i think its rza beats fire.

what you people don’t realize is that you can’t call a album a classic after hearing it 1 time, when i first heard HHNF i thought it was overrated and i thought the hooks and beats were shitty, but since then i listened to it a couple more times and i agree with xxl. HHNF is a classic its just a slow burner. & fyi nobody at jive thought this album was going to do numbers, they pushed it back to december at first

I guess the Clipse will finally see that they can’t keep their fans waiting. They signed that contract so they should have came with another album the following year. It was not like their first album went multi platinum for them to be sitting for three years. Once again, they signed the contract so they should have did two albums before they started holding out on their contract and not putting out any albums. I also think they should stop working with Pharrell so much, no one is buying the that Pharrell is a thug or drug dealer. The Clipse needs to leave Jive or hope that Jive drops them ASAP. I guess back to the stove they go to whip some of them things with the little rap money they will get from publishing and maybe a few shows.

The differece betweek Jim Jones and the Clipse is that Jim is on Koch Records and the Clipse is on Jive Records. I guess he was one of the 78,000 who purchased the album.

Clipse hang with Pharrell. That Aint gangsta. Mr. Me Too was ayte but not a smash single. Their 2nd single shouldnt have been released coz its garbage. As for Jay-Z, well he had a good run but its getting sad now. The man needs to sit down and properly promote Hip Hop is Dead for Nas cause his music is real hip hop.
I Wonder how much 50 snitch will sell next year.
