I See Plies First Week Of Over 200k Is Being Overlooked

Big Gates/Slip-N-Slide/Atlantic recording artist Plies makes an impressive debut this week with the release of his sophomore album. “DEFINITION OF REAL” lands at #2 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling more than 200,000 copies in its first week, doubling first week sales of his first album, “THE REAL TESTAMENT.”

200k is a lot these days and he doubled the first week sales of his first album. I see the southern rap fans support their artist, with Rick Ross also doing big with his album. So despite what some may say about Plies whatever he is doing is obviously working.

Is Plies underrated?

  7. Young Saint Says:

    #5 your a HATER!!! Plies is one of the realest rappers out right now! His music has substance. Have you even heard this album? I dont think you have. Listen to songs like “Worth Goin To Feds” and “Somebody Loves You”. He has alot of songs for the ladies on his album as well. Thats why they love him. His last album was good too! Who else put out two albums in 10 months? HUH! Thats why he winnig right now. Cuase he is consistant with his music and his hustle is there. Get your money up and quit hating Chappell817

  9. Rubberband Man Says:

    Plies is a real rapper… remind me on a Tupac… I kno kinda… ja rule watered down… but he is underrated in the south …a come up one more club bannger from him

  10. Pounce Says:

    I fucks with plies, real recognize real. He from the streets but know how to articulate himself so it comes across surprising in interviews. Happened to me at work for the first year I was there. His last album went gold, i see him doin similar #’s.

  11. sm Says:

    LMAO

    Plies went from a nigga that “went to school and had very good grades and his brother helped him from fucking with the street shit”

    to a “certified goon” lmao these niggas are so mufucking dumb

  12. Drizzle212 Says:

    “HE’S A REAL NIGGA”,”HE REMINDS ME OF TUPAC” DAMN HIS FANS ARE RETARDS TOO..HE CAN THA REALEST NIGGA OUT FOR ALL I CARE THA NIGGA STILL AINT GOT NO TALENT..

  13. Genesis Says:

    i actually really like the album, and im notta fan of southern hiphop…..

  14. cfranco Says:

    “Being a real nigga - that’s a fuck niggas dream
    But that’s a milestone that only a few niggas can obtain
    This shit ain’t bout money - this shit ain’t bout fame
    This shit a way of life - it ain’t bout what you claim
    ‘Only God can judge me’ - that’s some bullshit
    If you really felt like that why you try to impress a bitch? “

  15. KaeC Says:

    How can u listen to the above line that Plies had and say he does not have anything in his songs that are of substance. He paints clear pictures of what is going on in the hood and the mentality of the hood, whether he is a goon or not, does not have shit to do with what he says..He is speaking the truth..N at the end of the day he speaks all that goon stuff..but a song like “Worth Goin To Feds” is definitely a banger…If most peepz figured it was not worth it and put their creative minds to something else, jails would not be filled with blacks and hispanics.

  16. anons Says:

    why niggaz always sound so ariculate and intelligent in interviews and sound half retarded in their songs…hip hop is turning into one big chest thumpin parade

  17. X Says:

    PLIES IS HONESTLY ONE OF THE WORST RAPPERS LATELY…WHAT HAS HE EVER SAID LYRICLY……EVER??

  18. wreck415 Says:

    I GOT BOTH PLIES ALBUMS PLIES DA TRUTH DA NIGGA IS HOTTT….HE’S NO LYRICIST BUT IT DONT MATTA HE MAKE GOOD MUSIC…I GOT DAT AND IMA GET T.O.S JULY 1ST…..I ALWAYS KNOW WHICH ALBUMS GONNA BE GOOD T.O.S LOOKIN REEL GOOD

  19. tuttuttutty Says:

    underrated? naaaaaaaaw, dude is too OVERRATED!!!!!

    Chappell817 is right Plies do talk about the same shit which is a bunch of nothing his last album was GARBAGE and so is this album and wreck415 is wrong and right at the same time, you’re right cause a blind person can see that he’s not a lyricist and you wrong cause dude DO NOT MAKE GOOD MUSIC!

    who the hell wants to listen to someone talk about absolutely nothing or what the next fool said in a different song, in a different way, with a similar but “different” beat?… come on man…… we need some real rap music, some real hip hop…

    not none of this bullshit….

  20. C. Franco Says:

    He is talking about something. Plies follows a certain code and that comes across in his music. I will repeat what I posted yesterday:

    “Being a real nigga - that’s a fuck niggas dream
    But that’s a milestone that only a few niggas can obtain
    This shit ain’t bout money - this shit ain’t bout fame
    This shit a way of life - it ain’t bout what you claim
    ‘Only God can judge me’ - that’s some bullshit
    If you really felt like that why you try to impress a bitch? “

    He’s Tupac-like. I’m not saying he’s at Pacs level, but the complexity is similar.

  21. so serious Says:

    I do believe that he is. Wayne sold a million because he’s Wayne! and if u ask me.. Plies album had wayyy more substance than The Carter 3, all these people are just dick riders. Plus Wayne’s album was so anticipated why wouldnt it do a mil?

  22. Pounce Says:

    Why wouldnt it do a mill? lol a mill is expected now i see. Plies could have went at least 350k if he didnt drop the same day as wayne

  23. Cheif Says:

    for those who say plies music has no substance, are you guys mad that positive rappers aren’t hot. if hip hop is all about lyrics then why is there a beat. the same reason for this is the same reason why plies success is due to him. plies is right if you aint got hater you doin something wrong.
