Who favorited?Poor Promotion Gets The Best Of Fat Joe, Barely Sells 8,000 Records
by on October 15th, 2009
Hard times seemed to have fallen on Bronx rapper Fat Joe, after his Ninth solo abum J.O.S.E.2 dropped last week, and placed 73 on the billboard charts, selling only 8,300 records overall.
The album, which struggles are clearly attributed by what was clearly a very poor promotional plan, doesent look like it will be on the charts too long.
After facing several pushbacks, because of sample clearances and other issue's. The album had a list of high profile features including, Lil Wayne, T-Pain, Ron Browz, Pleasure P and many more. But after hitting the shelves on October 6th, it dosent look like many fans know that he has a new album out.
Not all news on New York rappers is bad. Rap icon Jay-Z continues his strong sales with another week in the top five selling 64,800 units and pushing his total to platinum status by selling 1,061,600 overall.
The Black Eyed Peas and Drake are still on the charts as well. The Peas stay in the top 25 selling 25,000 this past week giving them the no. 23 slot, while Drake's EP sold 21,000 units bringing his total to 162,300.
Album releases to look out for next week are Snoop Dogg's Lost Sessions LP, which is already receiving rave reviews.

foreal man at least sh had fans that wanted to buy their album, if 50 cent hadnt of made fun of fat joe i wouldnt of even known that this record was coming out.
…yeah, slaughterhouse flopped, that’s why they’re getting signed to interscope and eminem thinks they’re dope as fuck. smh
in case for all you non music heads, this album is technically the worse album of ALL TIME, due to the fact that Kevin Federline’s album sold 16,000 copies and was the lost reviewed album in history.
Sorry Joe, time for you to hang it up atleast you had fun in the game buddy

And with that, I deliver this personal message to Fat Joe: Kill yourself, your career obviously already took this advice.
