Are AZ's numbers really any surprise though? When was the last time you saw his video on TV? When was the last time you heard his single on the radio?I'm not sure about where you guys live, but here, I've heard or seen nothing about his new album.
Only a damn fool would laugh at dude's numbers, like they are any indication of his skill. AZ comes with it on the mic, and his album is nice. If hesucked, that would be a different story. Like it was mentioned before, his target audience isn't the same crowd that listens to trap music, which justhappens to be the majority of idiots out there now. Of course his numbers are gonna be low as hell. The majority of music buyers these days don't even likelasting, quality music, so of course they'll overlook dude.

Ross released Speedin' and The Boss already
so his next single will be his 3rd
Yeah, I was basically saying where is the 3rd single so he can try to push for gold and upstatus. Prolly gonna be unofficial MayBach b/c he kept goin' and and on about how crazy it was before the CD release and the official would hopefully beLuxury Tax ... would make sense ...

Record sales are just a point of reference . . . They never have, and never will be an accuried berometer of musics true quality . . . Make a good album,I'll cop the bootleg . . . And when you come to my city I'll go to your show . . . Now we're square.
Record labels are just a way of getting your music out there . . . Before record labels were #%@#%$+ with rap, the man with the loudest speakers in the parkwas the one more people heard . . . That theory still aplies, the bigger the label, the louder the artists mic . . .
But I do get a kick out of checking out the #s . . . Its for entertainment purposes only, I could care less if no one else on this earth bought an album, if Ilike it, its a job well done in my eyes on the part of the artist, and vice versa, you can sell a copy of your album to EVERY living organism, if I think itsucks then I wouldn't care in the least bit . . . Record sales are a labels way of making money, not the artists.

It debuted with 30,000 records sold just off ITunes alone. Wasn't even in stores yet. Are they in stores now? I'd like to think those are justinternet sales because I haven't seen that album in any store.
