Artist Are Not Selling Like They Used To


Well,well,well what have we come to. It appears that a lot of R&b and Hip-Hop artist are not selling like they used to. Case and point lets start with 50 Cents, he selling but his CD's are not flying off the shelf as they have done in the past.

Then there is Ashanti whose record sales have been disappointing and slow. And a real shocker is that not even Usher is selling like he used to and he threatened to fire his manager and hire his mother back.

Last but not least is the fact that new artist like The Dream are also not selling and posting disappointing numbers of record sales.

I think that the Hip-hop generation has grown up and is looking for quality. They have rewarded Lil Wayne with double platinum status for his very created efforts in creating The Carta III.

A lot of industry insiders believed that Weezy wouldn't sell because his music had been downloaded about 1.4 million times.

But the downloads only made people want to go out and get there own copies.

Whatever the reason artist better get back on their grind an get quality music to the masses before it's too late.

One Love, One Nation, One World
