Slaughterhouse Push 18K CDs in First Week (no.26 on charts), Joe Budden Fails to Chart
www.xxlmag.com/online/?p=55141
Haha, a fuckin brick for these losers.......
Yet another L in a long list of L's for Joe Budden
Joe Budden's solo album "escape route" sold 1700 copies.....ahahahaha......those are Cappadonna numbers
I guess getting punched in the face is not good for record sales!!!!!
Think of all the video blogs, manufactured internet beef, and going at legends such as Wu Tang....and Joe Buddens sold these numbers
before you make yourself look any more dumber you need to pull out a calculator and figure out what the profit margin is on 36k shipped and 18k sold. (50% of total shippment) in 1 week.
and escape route was a digital release announced the day before it actually released.
i study business, and i understand you might be a little slower since you dont. so let me put it in perspective for you. 50 sold 650k first week with his last album. by the end of the week, it was still available in large numbers at every retail store. what do you think the shippment was?
my guess is 5mil. now do the profit margin on that.
did alot better then most wu projects u stan fag... tht one song by slaughterhouse is pretty hot
Method Man/Redman Blackout 2 did around 59,780 copies douchebag there first week.....and their album came out the same day as eminemQuote:

RZA did 6.000 first week.
Killah Priests albums are dope, they sell like 500 copies first week.
If you didn't know.. sales don't mean shit.
Its almost as embarrasing as their name. "Slaughterhouse".
Ok you realise youve named yourself after a place that puts down cows, pigs, chickens for farms and stuff? Whats exactly so cool and clever about that?
Not only that its just a fucking pathetic name LOL
Their whole thing is just fisher price hip hop-by-numbers generic manufactured crap. Which is why it hasnt caught anyones attention other than people that havent been listening to hip hop for more than 2 years.
"Slaughterhouse"??? Really?? That names just fucking gay. Its honestly the sort of name you'd expect 14 year olds to come up with as a "dope new hip hop name" for their new group.
Anyway,.
18k
Wow lmao.
i dnt give a fuck this slaughterhouse vs wutang beef or w/e is fucking stupid...rae needs to face buddens 1 v 1 and lose and get it over with...Quote:

The funny thing is that Joe Buddens was saying how Method Man was not even relevant today.....and Method Man sold like 3x more than this idiots group album and 30x this dudes solo album
Slaughterhouse did 18,000 sales (no.26 on charts) first week with all the hype, video blogs, beef, etc
Joe Budden's solo album sold *gulp* 1,700 copies......yikes
Method Man/Redman Blackout 2 sold 59,780 (no.4 on charts) first week without any beef or hype...
Joe Buddens Lost.....again
Face it nobody cares about these losers in Slaughterhouse....
im not a slaughterhouse fan but yea there was a beef with meth...BUDDENS STARTED THE BEEF WITH METH ...tical you are fucking stupid
sales don't mean shit. but anyway, slaughterhouse is one stupid name.
L :)
that happened like 2 days before the album came outQuote:

Right now..
Slaughterhouse is doing wayyyy better than Wu-Tang, lyrically and quality albums IMO
and their album is on Def Jam/Universal Music Group you fucken moron. Its a majorQuote:

You are a prime example of why people that dont understand business need to not discuss it.
18k is a great number for an independent release that only shipped 36k.

there are no physical copies of the escape route.
and the release date was announced on august 10th, it came out on august 11th.
meaning total promotion was less then 24 hours.
Once again, please refrain from speaking about business.
these guys are making great money and selling abnormal units for a total of $0 spent on promotion.
fair enough from your perspective of music, but, for me, music is about each artist's art and not the popularity/market influence of each artist. i will continue to listen to wu and killa bees because they always make interesting and socially relevant music.Quote:

I studied marketing and I got a different point of view for you. They made money? Yeah maybe, but they're 4 in the group. But do you really care about how much money they made...?Quote:

Explain to me how that average ass Slaughterhouse album can compare to Chamber Music....?Quote:

I could care less how much money they made. Thats a question you should ask the thread starter.Quote:

A number says nothing unless its compared to other numbers - this is one of the first things you learn in Finance (if you really studied business). So 18k might seem low, but when you account that only 36k was shipped - that is abnormally high. 50% of the total shippment was sold in its first week. You dont see the significance?Quote:

Jim Jones just did 40k first week with 2 videos pre-album release and a major-label backing. Fabolous had the number 1 album in the country with 99k, 2 videos, 2 internet videos, and a major-label backing...
And the number of people in the group means nothing.
Wu-tang did 68,000 first week on a major label with the 8-diagrams, and there is 8 of them. And because their on a major their only getting like $1.50 per record vs. $7 per record on E1...Do the math...
sales mean fuck all you prick, so i'm gonna refrain from laughing at those numbers to say this:Quote:

does that make it a better album then Rising Down by The Roots which sold 163,818 copies? or does it make soulja boy more important to hip hop? no...
SALES MEAN FUCK ALL
so fuck off back to the budden forums and watch your man get punched in the eye, then apologise, then probably call out another rapper and remain quiet when a diss is released...until of course he apologises again
you wanna know who is more important, who is better?
look at album reviews for Wu's first album and then Slaughterhouse's and tell me which album has been hailed as a classic and which has not
^i agree with you.
your quoting the wrong person.
you should be quoting the thread starter.

without a doubt. couldnt agree more.Quote:

the thread starter wants to talk numbers though so all i was doing is staying on topic. Im completing my degree in Economics and Business this year - I dont mind contributing on any topic that involves sales.
okay, you're studying business. we get it.
I don't recall saying the Slaughterhouse album was better than Chamber Music. I'm a fan of both teams but you can't argue stuff like this, especially when it's Wu-related because nearly everyone here is gonna play on that side of the fence.. but since we setting the record straight..Quote:

Here's my argument..
Slaughterhouse RIGHT NOW is killing nearly everything they touch. They're hungrier and thats to say, they are what Wu-Tang used to be (just not as effective on the scene). Im not talking about overall career.. Wu-Tang DOMINATES that area.. But in the state of Hip-Hop TODAY? Rhyme for Rhyme? Slaughterhouse is the better team right now IMO. Respect my opinion. Wu-Tang has made dope records over the last couple of years, but they're not equivalent to Slaughterhouse. Wu fans need to face it.. Raekwon isn't the same Chef he came on the scene as. Ghostface isn't quite Mr. Supreme Clientele anymore. GZA is still the Genius but even he's getting bored being on the mic. Masta Killa and U-God seem to be the hungrier ones IMO. Inspectah Deck isn't the same Rebel. RZA's got new outlook at music and is the only one TRULY evolving... BUT.. people are gonna think otherwise and bitch about what Im saying, which is actual fact but its MY OPINION based on what Im hearing! End of story..
hahaha i bet hes your favorite wu member. yeah i respect your opinion but i just hate the budden fanboys that act like the wu hasnt done shit tothe game.Quote:

Im not saying they should stop making music, just give the new GREAT talent a chance instead of trying to "bring it back". The 90s era is gone. Evolve already!! Wu-Tang is stuck in that pasttime and so are their fans, which explains why different, versatile shit gets overlooked and unrecognized.. Which ALSO explains why RZA can't work with the Wu anymore.. because he's in present time with new flavor and they're still in 98' mentally.. we all see that in how they handle business..
yeah i hate that. some people think that the RZA can still make the most incredible beats. and i hate it when they think they can make 36 chambers happen again. just like people are talking shit about ghost makin an r&b album. i dont care imma bump that shit because ghost makes good music IMO. hes moving on and so should his fansQuote:

Sure they have an occasional hot verse, but to say they have put anything close to resembeling a classic album out would be absoulutly delusional....these dudes have stuggeled to even stay on record labels.
Joe Budden has been doing blogs every day for the last year and they just did a measely 18,000 units.....and delusional dudes in this forum are trying to tell me these are good numbers based on profit margins???? Get the fuck outta here......
I guarantee the dudes in Slaughterhouse are seriously disapointed by these numbers.....I am sure they are now second guessing their association with Joe Buddens.......Maybe Daily video blogs and getting punched in the face is not cool.....
Joe Budden and his gang of Losers get yet another L
18k is decent for a group comprised of failures
this past weekend I was at a kegger/cookout and woke up on a random couch. My friends older brother was sitting at the table going through someone's itunes library and asked me who slaughterhouse was and if they are any good...
I just laughed and went back to sleep. I think he deleted the album after playing their single.
What really is the next move for these guys in slaughterhouse???? All their careers were on life-support before getting together for the Slaughterhouse album. This group album was kind of like their last ditch effort to have a rap career...
If they move 18,000 units as a group, what are their solo albums going to yield??? 4,000 copies??? I mean Joe Budden just put out an album that moved 1700 copies, this is not going to pay the bills.....I must have made more money than Joe Buddens last month....
So do these guys just pack it in and try to get real jobs??? I could totally see Joel Ortiz working at a Burger King or Joe Buddens working at Foot Locker...
just out of curiosity... what did Chamber Music do in its first week??? i can't find it anywhere, but im asuming it sold over 18k
fans are fans...when your famous infront of a crowed, you can say "Fuck Rakim" for all it matters...the crowed is still gona cheer.Quote:

personally, i think anyone who thinks slaughterhouse is wack is just being delusional. in my personal opinion their the best rappers out right now.
i.e. tical2000...a guy that has no clue about anything, no taste in hiphop, no sense of versatility or diversity in music, and is all in all a complete moron when it comes to anything business/music related.
are u seriously this stupid?Quote:

He said in an interview that the beats were free...there was no expenses on the cd.
the escape route was just a bunch of material for fans and acted as a prelude to his next actual album - which is called The Great Escape.
Please, get that through your head...and go read a book. If you want some business books pm me and il recomend some and you can learn how money works.
Let me draw it out for you once more.
Cost of Beats - $0
Cost of Studio Time - $0
Cost of Producing the CDs - $0
Cost of Promotion - $0
Total Cost - $0
Price per song - $0.89
Number of songs - 12
Total sold 1700
Sales = $18,156
Now lets see if you figure out how much money was made when you subtract the "costs"...
So if you made $18,000 dollars last week....i tip my hat to you. Please give me some of your advise on making this much money. Now i see why you think selling 50% of a shippment is bad. someone who makes $18,000+ a month must be sitting on a billion.
