Snoop Dogg & Dr Dre expected to underperform with 36K first week despite major promotion

[BK The Great]

Label gonna have to eat that L with all the promotion it got shyt was mid anyway.

 

[Pure Water]

Seems like good numbers to me.

 

[semicko82]

Put this in perspective
Snoop dropped an album on the same day as Bossman Dlow who's the hottest street rapper right now and outsold him first week

 

[TripleAgent]

Without a monster single or a really excellent album, they weren't selling big.

 

[BigTyme Records]

60 year old nikkas rapping about bullshyt.



Ya hate to see it

 

[Lhark]

Looks pretty good to me, it's not 1994 anymore.

 

[bigde09]

I consider that impressive. Thats more numbers wise than Common & Pete Rock
And LL Cool J and this album is NOT of the quality of those two.

The people you mentioned never sold as much as Snoop and Dre did in their primes not even LL.

And a ton of marketing went into this.

Major promotion? They didn't even make a single music video.

 

[ILLMMORTAL]

Not surprised. nikkaz should’ve stuck to the streets! With beats and rhymes!!
fukking Dre n Snoop.

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

Man, not even us old heads tryna hear these even older heads rap in 2024. Release something from the DR vaults...remaster Tha Next Episode OG or something. Otherwise

 

[Pop123]

50-year olds trying to see success in Neverland is a dub, lol. Rap is for and by kids...why yall always act weird when the first weeks come back on these old heads is ridiculous, lol. Eminem...that's it...and even his shhits is a fraction of what they were.

 

[Ashtrey]

I just find it crazy Snoop dropped true West Coast music with DPG and Eastsidaz on his revamped Death Row but chose to go Adult Contemporary mixed with Country on his own album .

 

[Cladyclad]

We gotta update how we view sales for legends who have been in the game for 30+ years. There is no world where Snoop or Dre did 100k+ in 2024. It’s not happening. And for all the talk about marketing…no marketing black rap legends do equals a (white) rock legend band being able to announce new music/tours and have every rock radio station in the country promote it. Meanwhile rap radio is entirely focused on new music and barely acknowledges anything 5 years old, much less 30.

Good numbers for Dre. Good numbers for Ice Cube. Good numbers for LL. Salute the legends and if you fukk with the music what else matters?

if this one black legend decide to drop. 200k would be considered a flop for him

 

[BK The Great]

Major promotion? They didn't even make a single music video.

He was promoting this album all over interviews and he’s a guest host on The Voice. It’s a flop for the promo it was getting.

 

[Shadow King]

I expected more off the strength of their names holding such weight but this isn't that surprising.
