If you believe it's an elaborate trick of his, I've got some smoke trails in the sky to sell you.

Co-Sign music sales are so poor that P has no chance of getting a traditional deal and I do not think with sales down a record label can affort the one -off deal anymore. So what he is doing he has to in order to continue to put out music.


Doesn't change the fact that we must see these figures as worldwide sales and not just like what he would actually sell in the US. A lot of these CDs are shipped to fans all over the world.

I think its nice that he'll go GOLD with this release -- it's sort of tough working in the DIGITAL GARDEN isn't it fam?


I was just scanning over the list and remarking that very few of the "big" artists who receive incessant radio play have even gone platinum with albums that have been out for weeks/months. If the popular acts cannot move big numbers then the legends certainly aren't going to either.

It's definitely a new day. Earlier I was watching a VH-1 show on the top songs of the '90s and so many of these singles sold millions. For example, they said "Ice Ice Baby" went platinum 15x over. That will NEVER happen again. Those days are gone.

At the end of the day, it's about the music though. Most of the stuff I dig never sells big, so I could really care less. It's just an interesting transformation to watch.
