    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.

    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

    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.

  • @Lankey718

    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!!

  • @concertvids34
    @concertvids34 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @jermed23
    @jermed23 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    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!

  • @peekaboobaby141
    @peekaboobaby141 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    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...

  • @shady4chi
    @shady4chi 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @churchbaby09

    What does that have to do with the main topic.

  • @CrystalHairston2
    @CrystalHairston2 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @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.

  • @7UNnySH1T
    @7UNnySH1T 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @deeeeeeezzzzaaaa
    @deeeeeeezzzzaaaa 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @MizzYungMacMar
    @MizzYungMacMar 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @iamlmc1984
    @iamlmc1984 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    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

  • @youngsouljag08
    @youngsouljag08 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    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

    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

  • @perry1236
    @perry1236 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @GregLilOluchi
    @GregLilOluchi 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    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

  • @RelapsedX12
    @RelapsedX12 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @Ice_cold_bath
    @Ice_cold_bath 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    actually pretty much every mainstream rapper only raps about girls money clothes and cars thats why most people only listen to underground rap now

  • @xmelissaa1
    @xmelissaa1 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @jjbambam23299
    @jjbambam23299 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    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..

  • @realdeal119
    @realdeal119 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @MaddMan621
    @MaddMan621 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    The big difference: Jay's album was actually really good

  • @7UNnySH1T
    @7UNnySH1T 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    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?

    I applaud diggy for doing what he doing. But on the same note, singles don't translate to ablum sales.

  • @realdeal119
    @realdeal119 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    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

  • @jermed23
    @jermed23 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @7UNnySH1T
    @7UNnySH1T 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    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

  • @7UNnySH1T
    @7UNnySH1T 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @FirstClassKickx
    @FirstClassKickx 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @pimpjuice11236

  • @mindingminesx
    @mindingminesx 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @dsjj251
    @dsjj251 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @officialESPY
    @officialESPY 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    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

  • @kdavis96
    @kdavis96 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    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

  • @7UNnySH1T
    @7UNnySH1T 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    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.

    @YoungKnoccOut 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.
