Is it that surprising? Lloyd Banks did 45,000, true HFM2 was released on an indie label but looking back I remember more promo for that, AND he's the #2 on what was most likely the biggest rap click of the 2000s. I mean, he produces everything himself, he said he had to recreate samples, so no paying other artists, that's the bulk of most major artist's budgets, no?...from a business standpoint this probably isn't that bad and definitely was close to what def jam projected their artist would sell.
