Wow, Diddy's the 5th artist to flop AND sell record lows this year
 

including Luda, Janet, Banks, and Beyonce. - and a few other names i know i'm forgetting

the game ain't what it used to be lol, and that def ain't gonna be the last of em mayne

people are perhaps finally starting to see how wack the people you listed are...

except Luda....

Sign of the times


why buy albums when u can DL all the tracks


I'm going on record, however, to say that I think Jay Z will take in 250-300 thou in the 1st week.


Why? Even IM going to buy that one!

^that's true about the DL shit.

but uhh and shit Diddy was #1 on billboards too with that. it def prolly has to be the Downloadable shit now.

well at a time when everything starts to sound the same ..ide be hardpressed so keep spending 15 buxx for the same cd which is what it feels like

^^^EXACTLY

the music industry (and TV indistry for that matter) are in mega trouble mayne, just not gettin paid liek they used too. The music business is hurtin off of mixtapes alone - uncut music that 9/10 is more hard hitting with the fanbase than albums are. even studio's are feeling the hit of peopel with home studios.

these big corporations are felign the effects of the internet takiing huge bites out of record sales and TV ratings.


oh yeah, never forget this: companies merge as a survival tactic.

People are tired of the monotany in the industry..... This has opened the way for the Underground......

People are D/L'ing Albums..... which means.... there getting their music from the Net.... which means.... you no longer need a Record Deal..... you juss gotta have a Pay Pal account and a Sound Click.... 99 cents a D/L..... more than youd prolly make on major contract now adays.... lol

fuck diddy..........every day .............................

I didn't expect P Diddy to move units in the first place.

well the mainstream now is an indstry that played to your desire to be entertained instead of your desire to be informed. that shit ain't gonna last for ever, liek a chick that you only meet to screw, after a while you're gonna get bored as shit, no matter what new shit she does.

rap had a good run. it's just crumbling under the weight of it self

Bad news for Mr. J "Why should I use deep lyrics instead of crunk shit? Deep lyrics don't sell" Summers :rolleyes:

Lol...

I havent even listened to any of the new rap shit man.

Rap is pretty much done...mainstream wise anyway.

word..why buy when u can dl it. sorry to say ive been distributing a few of those cds out 5 bucks a pop!. aye..they'll be aight.

u say diddy is sellin record lows..... but this is the first time in a DECADE that he's been atop the Billboard Charts....
