FUCK SALES!!!!!!!!! Em & Jay were the only rappers that did high numbers and they’re albums weren’t even their BEST let alone the best of the year (BISD & Last Kiss)…let’s just hope banks can bless us with a great east coast hip-hop album…if he can get back to da hunger for more feel den dats gonna do alot for him n hip-hop…V5 NICCAZ!
12.24.09 at 7:29 pm

bottom line is –
its better for Banks to drop in june than a year or two later
if hes got some dope tracks on the shelf he needs to drop, 1-2yrs it might be too late
end of discussion.
12.25.09 at 2:00 am

Funny how last time I checked, his mixtape “Return Of The Real” got 2 stars out of 5 on Datpiff, and usually there are enough stans to get it at least to 4 stars.
IMO rappers caring about sales is the reason there are so many fakes/fake hip-hop. Look at 50 Cent, before he met Em he was spitting real shit and talking about the power of money, but after he got mainstream he’s “look at how rich and how hard I am!” granted Get Rich Or Dye Tryin had a few real tracks, but by Massacre it seemed it was just a joke to 50. Look at Twista, he started all the way back in ’92 doing real hip-hop, now he’s just another mainstream gangster and has slowed down (he was one of the fastest rappers ever, and was the fastest when he debuted) to the point of just a normal rapper. Then we have M.O.P., who continue to spit real shit and have such a unique sound, that nearly no other rapper sounds like them, hell they make most other rappers sound the same!
What rappers need to start doing is not care about record sales, thats killing hip-hop.

@31, true about not caring about sales, but when those sales determine how they’re gonna get their bills paid and feef their family then they have to care. which is why G Unit always put their BEST STUFF ON THE ALBUMS THEY GAVE US FOR FREE. then saved their commercial stuff for the albums that are mostly bought by women these days(minus the true supporters)
12.25.09 at 2:23 pm
ChrisL
Who the fuck cares what he sells? His music is on a higher level than MOST of the mainstream shit that comes out and sells mad units. Co-sign 31! Couldnt have said it better bro. The Wu members are a perfect example of what you are trying to say as well. All of them: Meth, Rae, U-god, Ghostface, GZA, RZA, Masta Killa, Deck – have been out since the 90s and still spit true hip-hop that shits on 99% of everything else and have refused to dumb their shit down a mainstream level.
