Nelly and G-Unit done. Fat Joe made some good cake off that if he really did get 5 bucks a unit.

It's hard for me to take "album sales" numbers seriously anymore. If your measurement of sales doesn't account for digital sales and ringtone sales, then it's really not any kind of accurate depiction of how well an artist or label is doing on a project

Pretty irrelevant until he makes a video like this

His latest album has. Of course Nelly's album has only been out for like a week or two. But still...

i don't think we've broken 200k yet.

and consider the fact that my shit came out 6 months ago.
nelly's is new.

we do not outsell nelly.
not to take anything away from how successful we've been, but i highly doubt we'll ever compare to artists that catch hot radio spins.

however, if we ever wanna talk about the royalties pie-chart,
let me buy you a shot.
