I NEVER would've thought The album had low sales. It had a commercial, it was Bering Pre-ordered, people couldn't wait for it, and the day AFTER it was Droped it was #1 in America (On iTunes)!!! I think it did good ;-)
With Diggy being born into the music industry it's actually harder for him because of the empire his dad, sisters and uncle has built. So now that he's pursuing his dream he has to come extremely hard to impress the audience. But this is his first cd so now that he has the feedback of his cd he now knows he has to push even harder for his next cd. Either way he's still gonna be around. Keep doing your thing Diggy, everyone has a rough start.
I'm glad his greatful what he got & not trying to be greedy/selfish/upset like sum artist are. Something is better than nothing u kno & glad he understand that
I'll never understand why people spend their time searching for someone to hate on?? Like if you don't like Diggy and his music why are you here??? Get a damn life!! Ugh UA is dope AF and will be classic. Get it DIGG!!
The thing is this is a different market than anytime in hip hop. If you don't sell you won't get renewed or have a change to grow its cut throat and not always fair. But if you have a million twitter followers like diggy and only can get 22K a company is going to think what more could you do you get fans. I wish the best for him but he needs to find a way to convert the female and youth base that pack his shows to buy his albums or he wont have another shot.
I think ppl just wrote Diggy off just cause he's "Diggy" from the reality show & its hard to take him serious. Plus he grew up wealthy so ppl don't think he could've struggled that much growing up, in which psychologically to most listeners in order to be a creditable rapper you have to have some type of hardships growing up. Unfortunately, he's being wrote off but truth be told this kid has the HOTTEST album of the Year (that I heard) so far!
I dont know why most of yall saying he isnt mature enough or blah blah blah.....but just because he isnt talking about drugs and sex and blowing dudes brains out that he isnt a good rapper I like him as a person and a rapper and I listen to his album everyday I met him and hes cool af...
right now only a small group of little girls like him but those same girls would rather hear "fuck that nigga that u claim u love" and thats all the older people wanna hear.i think when he gets older and starts going thru grown man issues,he'll be able to channel that thru his music and have more appealing things to talk about.
@GPTVdotcomv3 That song was a hit, it was actually put in the 106&Park Hall of fame for being the longest runing video on the countdown. And that WASN'T his only hit. And he dropped 2Mixtapes witch got him on the 2011 BETawards Cypher and the XXL 2011 freshmen cover ;-). Don't underestimate him.
true ! Jay didn't do that much if anything at all for Cole. but the simple fact that Cole was under him guaranteed him a couple more sales. Only reason I knew about Cole was cuz I heard he was signed to Jay. but that kid could spit tho and he makes good music.
People are fixated on the idea that, there is only ONE way into the hip hop music industry. Yeah, the trend for many big rappers today is that they came from nothing. But so what if Diggy was born into a rich family, realistically is that his fault? That shouldn't take away from the fact that he is a genuinely talented guy. Give props for that and stop hating just because he didn't have a rough life growing up. Hard work isn't fueled by economy status, it reflects a person's self motivation.
I know right, was even thought of when Reasonable Doubt came out lmao. I mean I know I was young but damn. Diggy's lyrical content and the time frame compared to Jay-z is not even debatable for comparison or reference. I think the older he gets people will start to pay more attention. He hasnt lived enough for me to listen. 20 21 would be a good age. The songs he's released as singles are very pop-ish and appeal to a younger audience. Most buy singles off of itunes from him not an album.
I bought diggy's album for my 16 year old niece and it went so hard I had to turn around and buy me one. The reason he didn't go platinum is because he is staying true to himself. If he had thrown a little white girl in his,"do it like you" video he would have gone double platinum. It's sad. We complain about black artist goin pop but we don't support their music
If it wasn't for his dad he wouldn't even be noticed he's an average rapper there's way better he just has the financial help from his family to be in the business. Blessed I guess
13 ปีที่แล้ว
to be honest he got flow but he just need a hit single that people will like even its pop record
some people are soooooo rude. he can actually rap. i like his music. people have so much anger built up and the people dissin him are probably old ass men who wish they could rap half as good as this 16 year old
Diggy was not pushed like those artist. You're assuming he had a bigger buzz because his dad is Rev Run, when that's entirely not true. Mac Miller was Indy, but every single he was released made the charts compared to Diggy's one single. Wale, J.Cole and Wiz all build a solid fanbase off their mixtapes alone, something Diggy hasn't done yet. So it was inevitable for them sell more if they had that hit record.
lets be real diggy's songs relates to kids and only kids, whereas other artists like cole, B.o.B. have reach from kids to young adults aswell as mature adults aswell purely outta the fact that there songs are more grown up
Of course you gotta have some hardship coming up as a rapper. Hip Hop , to me at least, is a genre in which people try and relate to the music when they listen to it. If all you rap about is how fresh your clothes are or how much money and women you got around you. I can't relate to it at all because I didn't always have that in my life. I personally respect a rapper who had to bust their ass to get noticed more then someone who has a hip hop powerhouse family behind him.
He didn't compare Reasonable Doubt contest wise, though... He just used it as an example because of its low album sales in the beginning. He IS talented. Just let the guy. Hating on him is just a waist of time. Jay-Z is his inspiration so he wouldn't mean it in a way that y'all are thinking.
The problem is he can't relate to us. Teenage females praise him not because of his music but because of his *Swag*. Also everybody talk about other rappers raping about money, weed, hoes, and etc. but that's what most of the rappers and us wish for so that's how we can relate to them more. Plus we didn't grow up with the pleasures of life as Diggy did. Not hating on him but telling the truth..
i dont see why niggas hatin on this dude. Lets be real. Out of all the dues in his family, hes the most lyrically gifted. He better than jojo and he definitely better than his father was back in the day.He just tryin to make music and please the fans. And i can respect that. At least hes serious about was he does and actually has talent. Look at all the other wack ass teenage rappers out. Album sales dont mean shit in hiphop anyway, especially if you dont have a huge white fan base.
I agree partialy with your statement. Those rappers had more of a foundation to build on. JCole had Jayz backing him. Wiz had the internet going crazy with his "weed" raps. Mac had a internet buzz. and Wale if your talking about Attention Deficit it only sold 28k its first week, but when he got down with MMG Ambition sold 164k its first week. But yea nobodys checking for Diggy and prolly wont be, he should just quit lol
I have a hypothetical situation for all the haters. So, if Jay Z and Beyoncé's daughter wants to become a singer or rapper in the future are you gonna be hateful because she had everything given to her? Or will you respect her because her parents hustled hard to make that fortune that's helping her carry out her dreams?
you said "back then". You just proved my point. Like in said in my last comment, back then, black people bout albums in hiphop. lol let jay, 50, weezy release an album today without their white fan base and i guarantee their sales will go down by atleast 60-65% It was easy to go plat and gold back then. Around 2005, it declined due to limewire and other download sites. cole, wiz, mac all have a huge amount of white fans and whites are the loyal buyers in hiphop.
Perfect example; My nigga Nipsey Hussle got mad songs that go hard but he rarely gets recognition. Somebody took 1 of his videos, "a million", and threw a mexican bitch in it and the youtube views went through the roof
Absolutely true man I agree with every word you said (not trying to be racial) but Wiz old mixtapes got the black fan base going crazy then white people heard about him and look at him now I never would have thought Wiz would have made Roll up that song was weak to me and very pop
And thats understandable but a lot of these rappers rap about exactly what you said and thats money & women, but ppl tend to like that because I suppose thats the life they want to live. But Diggy's album is not about that he's pretty much keeping it real within himself. He's not caught up in the money & Hoes rap. He actually has substance in his album based on his life.
what exactly did i say tht was dumb ? eveyrthing i stated is a fact. People dont sell less cuz theres variety, album sells are low bcuz the hiphop market is over saturated. Thts why you see big artist switching to more poplike music. And buying a bootleg is different from streaming music online for FREE. theres no money to be made. Adelle ? theres more room in her market cuz there arent as many talented singer n song writers. Anybody can be a rapper but it takes skill to sing
JAY-Z HAD NO TH-cam..FACEBOOK..REALITY SHOW..TWITTER.. THATS WUZ BAC N THE OLD DAYZ DIGG WHERE PEOPLE REALLY HAD TO GRIND TO GET SIGNED OR A RECORD DEAL..THINGS ARE MORE EXPOSING NOWADAYZ ITS ALOT WAYZ TO GET YOUR FACE OUT THERE IN THESE TIMES
Well when 90% of your fans are girls what do you expect look at all the hottest rappers right now drake kanye jay z lil wayne they all have male and female fans.
thats not a good argument. Jay Z's album came out with him being completely unknowns with no media attention what so ever, Diggy has had a reality show, magazine shoots, twitter and facebook.
@breana95 Exacty , if your 16 what are you gonna talk about ? Girls money clothes and cars duh ! Not what half the older rappers are talking about . At least hes keeping it clean and not stupid for the kids.
its a combination of both, people arent buying albums cuz it can be streamd for free and bcuz the market is over saturated with too many rappers who sound the same.theres no room for diggy is was im basically saying.
I think he had low sales because people can't take him serious as a artist because he had everything laid out for him on a gold platter so no one can relate. I bought the album, however, and I thought that it was good but for a 17 year old? Diggy will have to step it up to a more mature level to gain that audience.
Diggy made his song back in early 2011 but it got leaked recently, that's why people are now on it. Diggy only has 2 songs about girls on his album, maybe you just hate the idea of him and not him.
I would say you are wrong, LOL over saturation is not the reason, because you can choose not to buy people you dont like and buy the ones you do. Diggy just simply doesnt have the fan base he thought he had. it has nothing to do with the market as every major rapper that has come out in the last year sold more in their first week than Diggy did.
the fact he is rev runs son is what will hold him bacc, nobody cares to hear from a kid who got a free rap game pass from their dad and uncle... even if i dnt like their music, every new artist out today has worked hard to get where they are, diggy was givin everything...and thumbs down for comparing ur album to reasonable doubt
First of all to all you HATERS commenting on this video, if you hate diggy soo much why are yawl even watching this?!? Shouldn't it be the opposite? Seriously if you don't like a person you wouldn't take time out of your day to watch their videos and comment on it. Just makes you look dumb. Don't critique him when he's the one living in a huge mansion, making a lot of $, and getting the ladies.
Odd Future came out the same day & sold 48k, with no song on the radio. Diggy had a song on the radio, the look & the chicks & only sold 20k. all I can say is, he's not wack its just nobody cares about his shit. I mean lets be honest, we were all just surprised that he could rap! better then his older brother at that.lol
yea thats why I think a lot of rappers are "selling out" Look at Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj or even Wiz Khalifa. Their making more pop style music to appeal to white people (Not tryna be racial) bcuz those are the ones buying their albums and coming to their shows. Ppl in the more urban areas dont buy albums nemore.
who cares?i wasnt born when off the wall came out yet i heard the ablum and it was great.any hip hop head old or young will have reasonable doubt in there collection
Of course he don't care if his album didn't sell well. What does he lose? Nothing. He was born with a spoon in his mouth, into money, and as for dissing J. Cole he's stupid. Cole actually went through shit to get to where he's at. All Diggy had to was talk to his dad and uncle Russel.
Diggy my advice for you is 2 either use that money to start ur own reality show n hope it pops,or use the money 2 invest into a business. Or continue to be in denial and think u will surpass ur pops legacy. All the greatest rappers Pac big Jay 50 DMX Em Nas Pun Redman all had one thing in common. The ambition, their environment forced them to grind harder and to put effort. these rappers were poor and broke and wanted the good life. nothing was ever handed down to them.
Man please J Cole will not touch young Diggy...more creativity by far! So stop it! He is more versatile...dnt hate appreciate ;-p It is what it is...he will make history...he is very talented...Team Diggy! He is a breathe of fresh air...very good role model for youngens his age and older... Like he said jet setter...trend setter noone does it better so...Respect my Freshness! ;-p
true but also people actually bought albums back then...truthfully whens the last time youve purchased an album???? i only support my FAVORITE artists....keep it a hunnit only reason he isnt selling like that cause nobody has given him a shot....and it damn sure wont be me lmao #WAYNECOUNTYSHIT
All that promotion shit mean.nothin. The greatest rapper in the south has sold over 15million in his career with no tv appearances no major label deals, just straight talent. And dats Z-ro, look him up. Diggy talented his just came at a time.where lil girls downloadin erthang now and niggas feel he have no street cred. Sad thing I hear diggy song on.the radio erday out here in tx but hear no music from.htown and im 80miles from there
nope neva heard of earl sweatshirt he need to get his name up
I NEVER would've thought The album had low sales. It had a commercial, it was Bering Pre-ordered, people couldn't wait for it, and the day AFTER it was Droped it was #1 in America (On iTunes)!!! I think it did good ;-)
I love your album for one thing. Keep doin what your doin cause you makin it man and that's all that matters.
With Diggy being born into the music industry it's actually harder for him because of the empire his dad, sisters and uncle has built. So now that he's pursuing his dream he has to come extremely hard to impress the audience. But this is his first cd so now that he has the feedback of his cd he now knows he has to push even harder for his next cd. Either way he's still gonna be around.
Keep doing your thing Diggy, everyone has a rough start.
Love u Digg keep your head up
every genre of music is freely assessable through the internet, yet its only hip hop that's lacking in sales.
I'm glad his greatful what he got & not trying to be greedy/selfish/upset like sum artist are. Something is better than nothing u kno & glad he understand that
Diggy doesnt sell because hes music is too real for mainstream and has way to many people hating cause of his family, diggy deserves #1
Yessss, so true!
Diggy is goin way hard. He got skillz. He's going to be a beast. I'm lovin it.
I guess you're right. None of his older music sounded like this though, so I figured it was the label that pushed for this.
A main factor HAD to be advertising; I didn't even know he had an album out.
I'll never understand why people spend their time searching for someone to hate on?? Like if you don't like Diggy and his music why are you here??? Get a damn life!! Ugh UA is dope AF and will be classic. Get it DIGG!!
The thing is this is a different market than anytime in hip hop. If you don't sell you won't get renewed or have a change to grow its cut throat and not always fair. But if you have a million twitter followers like diggy and only can get 22K a company is going to think what more could you do you get fans. I wish the best for him but he needs to find a way to convert the female and youth base that pack his shows to buy his albums or he wont have another shot.
excuses.
it had bad advertising. i didn't even know it came out.
I think ppl just wrote Diggy off just cause he's "Diggy" from the reality show & its hard to take him serious. Plus he grew up wealthy so ppl don't think he could've struggled that much growing up, in which psychologically to most listeners in order to be a creditable rapper you have to have some type of hardships growing up. Unfortunately, he's being wrote off but truth be told this kid has the HOTTEST album of the Year (that I heard) so far!
i agree with everything u said execpt for the j.cole statement. jay z really never promoted j.cole . he barely did anything at all
I dont know why most of yall saying he isnt mature enough or blah blah blah.....but just because he isnt talking about drugs and sex and blowing dudes brains out that he isnt a good rapper I like him as a person and a rapper and I listen to his album everyday I met him and hes cool af...
right now only a small group of little girls like him but those same girls would rather hear "fuck that nigga that u claim u love" and thats all the older people wanna hear.i think when he gets older and starts going thru grown man issues,he'll be able to channel that thru his music and have more appealing things to talk about.
What does that have to do with the main topic.
@GPTVdotcomv3 That song was a hit, it was actually put in the 106&Park Hall of fame for being the longest runing video on the countdown. And that WASN'T his only hit. And he dropped 2Mixtapes witch got him on the 2011 BETawards Cypher and the XXL 2011 freshmen cover ;-). Don't underestimate him.

to be honest he got flow but he just need a hit single that people will like even its pop record
Give it up Diggy!! You'll never feel your pops shoes. Not ever boy!!!'n
And The Onle Ones That Can Rap Is Wale And J Cole
some people are soooooo rude. he can actually rap. i like his music. people have so much anger built up and the people dissin him are probably old ass men who wish they could rap half as good as this 16 year old
Diggy was not pushed like those artist. You're assuming he had a bigger buzz because his dad is Rev Run, when that's entirely not true.

Wale, J.Cole and Wiz all build a solid fanbase off their mixtapes alone, something Diggy hasn't done yet. So it was inevitable for them sell more if they had that hit record.
i remember when my bro 50 cent hit 30. millions in 1 weeek
i love both DIGGY&JCOLE thumbs up if yu agree !
Wale first album sold 30k
Diggy has got bars though.. I rate his album
lets be real diggy's songs relates to kids and only kids, whereas other artists like cole, B.o.B. have reach from kids to young adults aswell as mature adults aswell purely outta the fact that there songs are more grown up
Of course you gotta have some hardship coming up as a rapper. Hip Hop , to me at least, is a genre in which people try and relate to the music when they listen to it.

I personally respect a rapper who had to bust their ass to get noticed more then someone who has a hip hop powerhouse family behind him.
actually pretty much every mainstream rapper only raps about girls money clothes and cars thats why most people only listen to underground rap now
He didn't compare Reasonable Doubt contest wise, though... He just used it as an example because of its low album sales in the beginning. He IS talented. Just let the guy. Hating on him is just a waist of time. Jay-Z is his inspiration so he wouldn't mean it in a way that y'all are thinking.

At least hes serious about was he does and actually has talent. Look at all the other wack ass teenage rappers out. Album sales dont mean shit in hiphop anyway, especially if you dont have a huge white fan base.
The big difference: Jay's album was actually really good
I agree partialy with your statement. Those rappers had more of a foundation to build on. JCole had Jayz backing him. Wiz had the internet going crazy with his "weed" raps. Mac had a internet buzz. and Wale if your talking about Attention Deficit it only sold 28k its first week, but when he got down with MMG Ambition sold 164k its first week. But yea nobodys checking for Diggy and prolly wont be, he should just quit lol
i really expected more from his album.
stop hatin on diggy let him do his thang
I have a hypothetical situation for all the haters. So, if Jay Z and Beyoncé's daughter wants to become a singer or rapper in the future are you gonna be hateful because she had everything given to her? Or will you respect her because her parents hustled hard to make that fortune that's helping her carry out her dreams?
Diggy a raw ass rapper nd ppl don't see tht he aint fuckin around like some of these soft ass rappers out here
I applaud diggy for doing what he doing. But on the same note, singles don't translate to ablum sales.
you said "back then". You just proved my point. Like in said in my last comment, back then, black people bout albums in hiphop. lol let jay, 50, weezy release an album today without their white fan base and i guarantee their sales will go down by atleast 60-65% It was easy to go plat and gold back then.

Perfect example; My nigga Nipsey Hussle got mad songs that go hard but he rarely gets recognition. Somebody took 1 of his videos, "a million", and threw a mexican bitch in it and the youtube views went through the roof
well someone sent me this video and why when someone dislikes something they get accused of hating its called stating an opinion
This kid shouldn't be a teeny boper. Homie can spit. They should've let him do him. They fucked up.
How is this related to nardwuar vs young jeezy????
Absolutely true man I agree with every word you said (not trying to be racial) but Wiz old mixtapes got the black fan base going crazy then white people heard about him and look at him now I never would have thought Wiz would have made Roll up that song was weak to me and very pop
50 cent sold almost a mill the first week
And thats understandable but a lot of these rappers rap about exactly what you said and thats money & women, but ppl tend to like that because I suppose thats the life they want to live. But Diggy's album is not about that he's pretty much keeping it real within himself. He's not caught up in the money & Hoes rap. He actually has substance in his album based on his life.

JAY-Z HAD NO TH-cam..FACEBOOK..REALITY SHOW..TWITTER.. THATS WUZ BAC N THE OLD DAYZ DIGG WHERE PEOPLE REALLY HAD TO GRIND TO GET SIGNED OR A RECORD DEAL..THINGS ARE MORE EXPOSING NOWADAYZ ITS ALOT WAYZ TO GET YOUR FACE OUT THERE IN THESE TIMES
Lmao Nope 4 years later and it still hasn't sold over 100k FLOP
kid's well spoken
Well when 90% of your fans are girls what do you expect look at all the hottest rappers right now drake kanye jay z lil wayne they all have male and female fans.
I feel like his people didnt market that album enough,i.didnt know anything about it.
And 90,000 is still more than 20,000
thats not a good argument.
Jay Z's album came out with him being completely unknowns with no media attention what so ever, Diggy has had a reality show, magazine shoots, twitter and facebook.
he raps better than hi big brother...2 thumbs up and 2 big toes up
Damn i ain't even know he had an album out. :/
real talk
@breana95 Exacty , if your 16 what are you gonna talk about ? Girls money clothes and cars duh ! Not what half the older rappers are talking about . At least hes keeping it clean and not stupid for the kids.
its a combination of both, people arent buying albums cuz it can be streamd for free and bcuz the market is over saturated with too many rappers who sound the same.theres no room for diggy is was im basically saying.
I think he had low sales because people can't take him serious as a artist because he had everything laid out for him on a gold platter so no one can relate. I bought the album, however, and I thought that it was good but for a 17 year old? Diggy will have to step it up to a more mature level to gain that audience.
did he just compare his album sales to reasonable doubt...homie is on cracc that shit went plat
Diggy made his song back in early 2011 but it got leaked recently, that's why people are now on it. Diggy only has 2 songs about girls on his album, maybe you just hate the idea of him and not him.
That's what happens when 90% of your fans are little girls and you're not Justin Bieber...
I would say you are wrong, LOL over saturation is not the reason, because you can choose not to buy people you dont like and buy the ones you do. Diggy just simply doesnt have the fan base he thought he had. it has nothing to do with the market as every major rapper that has come out in the last year sold more in their first week than Diggy did.
the fact he is rev runs son is what will hold him bacc, nobody cares to hear from a kid who got a free rap game pass from their dad and uncle... even if i dnt like their music, every new artist out today has worked hard to get where they are, diggy was givin everything...and thumbs down for comparing ur album to reasonable doubt
First of all to all you HATERS commenting on this video, if you hate diggy soo much why are yawl even watching this?!? Shouldn't it be the opposite? Seriously if you don't like a person you wouldn't take time out of your day to watch their videos and comment on it. Just makes you look dumb. Don't critique him when he's the one living in a huge mansion, making a lot of $, and getting the ladies.
its a Cole World little man
At least he sold more than jojo
Odd Future came out the same day & sold 48k, with no song on the radio. Diggy had a song on the radio, the look & the chicks & only sold 20k. all I can say is, he's not wack its just nobody cares about his shit. I mean lets be honest, we were all just surprised that he could rap! better then his older brother at that.lol
yea thats why I think a lot of rappers are "selling out" Look at Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj or even Wiz Khalifa. Their making more pop style music to appeal to white people (Not tryna be racial) bcuz those are the ones buying their albums and coming to their shows. Ppl in the more urban areas dont buy albums nemore.
his argument is still sound though. 96' alive biggie is not as big as post death biggie.
who cares?i wasnt born when off the wall came out yet i heard the ablum and it was great.any hip hop head old or young will have reasonable doubt in there collection
WTF I had no idea this kid dropped his album ??
Of course he don't care if his album didn't sell well. What does he lose? Nothing. He was born with a spoon in his mouth, into money, and as for dissing J. Cole he's stupid. Cole actually went through shit to get to where he's at. All Diggy had to was talk to his dad and uncle Russel.
I didnt buy it because I bought the OF Tape Vol 2 instead to be honest
Diggy my advice for you is 2 either use that money to start ur own reality show n hope it pops,or use the money 2 invest into a business. Or continue to be in denial and think u will surpass ur pops legacy. All the greatest rappers Pac big Jay 50 DMX Em Nas Pun Redman all had one thing in common. The ambition, their environment forced them to grind harder and to put effort. these rappers were poor and broke and wanted the good life. nothing was ever handed down to them.
:( , He's gonna get higher and higher without a doubt. Diggy is way to creative to fail ^.^ #JetSetters
Damn. Puberty.
Search n watch yonkers cover by freaky
Stop hating people.. it gets u nowhere

All that promotion shit mean.nothin. The greatest rapper in the south has sold over 15million in his career with no tv appearances no major label deals, just straight talent. And dats Z-ro, look him up. Diggy talented his just came at a time.where lil girls downloadin erthang now and niggas feel he have no street cred. Sad thing I hear diggy song on.the radio erday out here in tx but hear no music from.htown and im 80miles from there
Cole world out there
