Did Jay-Z buy 200,000 copies of Kingdome Come
That is, if you’re Eminem and 50 Cent. According to HitsDailyDouble.com, the album could be bringing in around 300k its first week. This is just a little less than what Compton rapper The Game was able to sell.
Of course, this isn’t an Eminem or 50 Cent album though. It’s a compilation of Shady artists, so it only makes sense that the sales don’t compare with the two’s solo album releases.
The promotion and marketing of this album was also done terribly. Prior to the release, the crew only made a weak appearance on BET’s 106th & Park and MTV’s Total Request Live. Eminem looked like he was on drugs and 50 Cent seemed like an attention-craving whore.
Eminem Presents: The Re-Up was released on December 5, 2006 and features music by Eminem and 50 Cent along with other Shady camp members such as Stat Quo, Obie Trice, Bobby Creekwater, Ca$his, and D12 members.
