Lil Scrappy Flops, Ciara Tops, and The Snowman Drops!!!
Wednesday. 12.13.06 8:31 am
The estimated sales figures have been released for last week and its too bad Lil Scrappy can’t bask in success as his newly released CD – Breed 2 Die, Born 2 Live — has completely bombed coming in at # 24 selling a meager 84,000 units sold (estimated tally, the final sales will be released later on today). While the streets were all a buzz about Scrappy’s – G-Unit association, it seems that at the end of the day nobody cared as his, Breed 2 Die, Born 2 Live, failed to garner the majority of the hip-hop communites support. Without a major single to sustain his album how did anyone expect Scrap to come in any higher? While the argument could be made that his affiliation with the “Big Bully” of the rap game – G-Unit, has turned fans off, the one thing that can’t be said is that there wasn’t enough marketing and promotion done to push this album into a top ten success. Despite the fact that many people feel that SOHH.com are G-Unit haters (which are basless accusations), if you’ve paid even the slightest bit of attention to our innovative and highly popular site, you would have noticed that Lil Scrappy was heavily promoted on this site.
After three failed albums this year, (Scrappy,Lloyd Banks, and Mobb Deep),could the rumors of Interscope records possibly dropping G-Unit be true? It looks like their dollars just aren’t making much cents. 50 has palpably shown us that he is not ready to run a record label. From Olivia, to Lloyd Banks and every artists in between nobody has had been a breakout artists.
Interestingly enough there is a line in Scrappy’s “Money in the Bank” song that is extremely comical “My shit gonna sell, your shit gonna flop”. I guess not Scrap. It looks like its back to the drawing board. Ladies his money in the bank may be as short lived just like his fleeting rap career.
Also Shout out to Ciara for coming in at number one selling a staggering 340,000 copies (estimated) landing Ciara her first number one album.
If you’ve you noticed I haven’t said anything too negative about Young Jeezy’s album. I will admit that I expected more from the aspiring rap mogul but at the end of the day, I don’t know where I stand on the topic of The Inspiration. I know that I am personally not all that inspired. Jeezy's album dropped this week and so far my people are telling me that he's selling OK so far. Next weeks record sales will drastically impact my final decision on where I see Young Jeezy headed as far as music is concerned.
I’m going to Jeezy’s publicity blitz tonight here in da “A” I’m going to try my best to secure an interview with him. Post some good questions that you want to know about the Snowman. Remember to keep it clean I don’t want to be thrown out of the building.
Oh and for my Jeezy fans dont forget that he will be signing albums at the Best Buy on Cobb Parkway in Smyrna on Thursday, December 14th, 2006. The signing starts at 5PM and ends at 8PM. Tell em Sohh Gyant sent you!!

I want to expose my city's great talent – and ultimately you! If you got some skills and are trying to maximize your exposure then you need to holla at me.
I'm launching "Sohh Atlanta's Own" – a great way to showcase my kats with those insane lyrical/vocal skills.

No matter how far you go, if you can't go back to the essence, you're not sayin' nothin'. The essence for me is hip-hop. But the hip-hop community I came up in isn't a loyal community.
