Joe Budden's No Love Lost Album Projected To Sell 25-30K Units

[California Burrito]

I dislike the album but that's a good for a first week sales for a independent artist.

mac miller moved 144k first week independently that's more than buddens and slaughterhouse combined but that's what they get for trying to go pop and buddens being a simp/junkie on tv

He fukked up and is becoming so annoying with his female tendencies . Now I'm watching fox 5 news here come joe buddens complaining about Molly's

 

[CrimsonTider]

The song with Kirko is the hit.

It's better than the Meek and Kirko record

This song should be everywhere.

Can't fault joe for thinking he should push the Wayne feature

Exactly why I'm not buying this. If Feature Presentation or the tracks from it ever make retail though ... first day cop

He busted his load too early. He should have waited for the season to finish, and he should have pushed to have them feature his music. He played this all out like a dusthead

I'm from jersey and even I can't support buttons. Dude used to come chill and play spades at my old college when I was a student there. He was cool but how you trying to get famous but you playing dance dance revolution at a university student center arcade?

Can't really judge it like that though...the Meek/Kirko track fukkings sucks and only gets play because it's Meek's lead in single, and even then..all things considered, performed pretty poorly really...doubt if Budden's record would even approach what Meek's did, despite being better

And if 25K is "good"...on any label besides him selling them shyts directly out of the trunk of his car, then what we're really saying is it's pretty much next to literally impossible for him to ever do bad...at that piont the bar is lowered so low and leaned against the "bu bu bu he's on a pseudo indy...he recorded the entire album with his tax refund check, all the producers and features worked for free, and the promotion was free...he gets $500 a unit sold" crutch, there really aren't any expectations at all for him...25k are horrible to mediocre numbers AT BEST by pretty much ANY and EVERY standard...koch and buddens ain't somewhere 'ing at how amazing those projections are, trust

I'm very familiar with Joe Budden's deal over E1. They gave Budden $75,000 to spend in marketing & advertising & $75,000 to spend on the album as far as recording, production, etc & for a Music Video...

The average E1 Artist spends about $30,000-$40,000 on paying for radio play. Also about $20k on PR, blogs, getting his video in rotation, etc... & he more then likely spent less then $35,000 on production & $15,000 on recording, mixing & mastering because he has most of it in-house...

Budden only needs to sell around 40,000-45,000 for E1 to recoup its money completely because they have a 65/35 split because Budden had previous success in the industry. In about 9 months Budden's sells will top off around 75k-85k so even without touring he'll pocket a couple hundred thousand. Especially since E1's only real job will be to distribute his album since he has all of his own resources & relationships that he's built over the years.

If you're an artist who can drop an album every few years & make $250,000 you're doing better then 95% of artists in the industry...

I can't stand Joe Budden... I think he is a hypocritical ass whiny ass underground wannabe mainstream artist but he is winning right now...

I'd agree with you on that... but I don't think the 75k figure for the album itself is high enough. I'd say about 100k because I doubt he's getting a ton of favors like that. So I'd say about 60-65k to recoup. I wouldn't say 60k is a foregone conclusion either. But either way, best of luck to what he does.
