Sales has everything to do with it
Pac bragged about sales (end of 2 live in day and LA)
50 Cent brags about sales (Piggybank)
Eminem (Hit Em Up Everlast Diss)
Dr Dre (say what you say diss)
Sales are everything.
In Hip Hop, If you dont have a record out, and if you dont do numbers you are nothing
Crooked I has accomplished nothing
Chino XL has accomplished nothing
Until they do numbers...nothing
