Classic or Nah Vol 3: Master P - Ghetto D
- Thread starter Goldie
- Start date
Yall really gotta stop with that weak ass streaming argument.
Nobody in today's hip hop is going 4x plat in a week.
All albums during that time did that tho.
A slow burn is a year later a song/album blowing up. 400 dropped in nov and by jan it was everywhere.
sooooooo
all these "broke the record for most ______" all of a sudden dont mean anything when talking about sales?
ok
maybe they should stop saying it then when it happens
Singles records are being broke.
Album sales records? No. Album sales are low af in comparison to the 90s.

Ha was released in October
The album dropped in November and 2 months pass, and it's was everywhere (through holidays)? That's a slow burn
Feb he dropped Back that Ass up and that's when his album took off.
Back then, when an album dropped it was off the racks when you walked in the record store to go and purchase it

That's not true fam. In those days albums didn't start selling crazy the sec it dropped outside of a couple albums.
For example. DMX's It's dark and hell is hot didn't reach 4x plat till dec 2000, that was 2 years after it's release.
That was a different day and age.

Nah breh
The very album that we are discussing in this thread Ghetto D did 800k in it's first week. (That's just the album, the lead single(s) the $3.99 clean and un-clean version, instrumental version may have went Gold or Platinum alone)
Mia X album went gold (Unlady Like) in 5 weeks off 1 video.
Her Mama Drama album went gold in within two months (with no radio single)
2pac went Gold with All Eyes on Me within the 1st week of that album dropping. His Me Against the World was the number one album in the country and he was in prison
Albums were selling, even the singles off the albums were going gold and platinum, sometimes before the album dropped.

Ghetto D was a banger. That was the last great album that Master P put out. The Last Don was pretty good but it wasnt as good as Ghetto Dope imo. But GD was a fucking banger no doubt. Ghetto D and that Alpine amp had them big ass 12 inch subs trying to split my trunk in half. I'm surprised I can still fucking hear.
P had one of the best runs in the history of the game. He had the entire industry in a choke hold from the mid 90s well into the 2000s. He did things back then that no one has done since. P revolutionized the game by taking complete and total ownership of his company from top to bottom. That's why NYC dudes were hating then and are still salty now. Country ass New Orleans ass Percy fucking Miller showed those mad envious jealous ass east coast haters how to get real money in the game they invented. Them fools had been raping for Adidas and gold chains for decades before P came along. P came in the game, took it the fuck over, strangled the entire music business and showed all of these so called Big Willie's that they were nothing more than little bitches. That's why they hate P but everyone who worked with him and for him loved him to this day.
East coast dudes are born haters. They hated Dr. Dre until 50 started rapping over the same beats that they spent a decade dissing. They booed Outkast at the Source Awards when Dre told them the south had something to say. Hell NYC cats even hated on the Sugar Hill Gang because they made the first official hip hop hit and they were from Jersey. They cant help themselves. If you hated on the Sugar Hill Gang why would I be shocked when you hated on the greatest business mind hip hop has ever.
Master P is the Harriet Tubman of this rap shit. He freed them hating ass kneegros from them Toby ass contracts. But just like queen Harriet said "I freed a thousand slaves I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves." East coast dudes were too busy hating to realize what P was doing.

Man folks don't understand how P ran the game smh. Living in real time at that moment during that era was maybe the best time to be alive.
No Limit was everywhere, on the low, that nigga P wouldn't even put out radio singles or shoot music videos like that for his artist's projects, where as with other artists on other labels they had 2 and 3 videos for their albums.
I remember the build up for C-Murder's Life or Death album (another classic) and that Mystikal album Unpredictable (another classic) coming out smh. Build ups and anticipation for them dude's albums was crazy, Aint even the same any more compared to how it was with folks waiting on NL albums.
When this album came out, this nigga P and No Limit had the game on lock. I can remember being (back in day ass nigga) in school, skipping school with the SRs when they got out early, and every car that school parking lot, had this album blasting out 6 x 9s, and 12 subs, pioneer amp, cuzzo had a boss amp or some shit, with tweeters, for the highs in his cutlass.
You was considered a lame if you hadn't heard this album, Pretty Bitches wouldn't even fuck with you, if you wasn't up on game on this album.
But the one song off that album that you cut on in an ole party or pull up to, to that McDonalds or Burger King, hang out spot after the Friday night football game where everybody would be at and get out that regal, str8 mugging and bouncing, with that mug on that bitch, fast forward the tape right before Mystikal part came on, so you can time that bitch when you hopped out the car/truck and be on point wit the shit Lol, then cut that shit off when Silk part came on.
