Defsounds

If you go on other sites, they'll most likely tell you about the highest sales and the most slept on albums of the year. We the great people of Defsounds understands that sometimes, the most slept on.. Are also some of the lowest selling albums of the whole year. I'm not saying that every album that flopped was underated, because lets face it; Most of them deserved what they sold. But here are the Top 10 of the Bottom. Some of the albums are up here because of the whole background and drama of the release date, the overall history of the rapper/group and last but not least.. The ones that just didn't sell..

10. Consequnce - Don’t Quit Your Day Job

March 6, 2007 was not a good day for The Conse. He finally drops his long waiting G.O.O.D. Music album debut and debuted at #113 on The Billboard 200, selling 7,490 units. The first that comes to mind is “Where was the promotion” Or at least, where was the marketing. The sad thing about this is.. His album was actually nice.

9. Boyz n da Hood - Back Up n da Chevy

It seems as if the only thing good about Boyz n da Hood is that they have at least one rapper each year that can make a hit record on his own. Kinda makes you feel sorry about Big Gee, Duke, and Jodi Breeze. Which also hurts because, that means they’re gonna be under the thumb of Diddy for another 1,000 years. (The Feelings and Statements in This Article Does Not Reflect the Views of Defsounds.com. Please don’t sue!) Even though they debuted at #55 on The Billboard 200 on October 2, the “N.W.A” of the South only moved about 15,700 units.

8. Pharoahe Monch - Desire

Mr. Monch didn’t really get the same result as he probably thought that he would. Seeing how everyone this year were just begging for real and down to earth Hip-Hop; His album and many of the Underground and Backpack artists suffered the same fate. Not enough marketing and poor album sales. Too bad Myspace promo’s on the featured artist section wasn’t enough. Better luck next year Pharoahe, maybe next year you can possibly sales at least 13,000 copies.

7. Little Brother - Get Back

Phonte and Big Pooh, puts together of one the most slept on Albums of the year. In my opinion they just keep getting better year after year. From “The Listening”, to “The Minstrel Show” they haven’t been able to get the commercial success that they really deserve. After the departure of 9^th Wonder (So he can focus on other projects) the album sounded as if they had back up producers who have been waiting to fill the void. The lyrics were of course on point, but the fact still remains… They only manage to debut at #89 on The Billboard 200. And the sales didn’t even touch 20,000 falling 3,000 units short.

6. The Albums Mobb Deep Put Out Separately

It really wouldn’t make sense given both of the Queens Bridge duo two slots, when they’ve both put out solo projects. So let’s throw it all in one big pot that says flop shall we? Now, even though Prodigy’s “Return of The Mac” was just a sample of the quality of his upcoming “H.N.I.C 2” album; It’s still an album that didn’t sell well. Matter of fact, this album wouldn’t be on my list if it wasn’t for the event that’s passed. With Prodigy facing jail time; Mobb would have to be represented by Havoc, who made his solo project debut “Kush”. And, we all know how that went.. Ouch.

Don’t worry Hip-Hop Heads numbers 5-1 is still on the way..
