Answers:
I'm not a huge fan of Devin the Dude but I was part of the only 100,000 sales!. And, some of his tracks were good enough to give him more credit than he has been given!. I personally can't really pin-point the reason why his total sales didn't exceed 100,000, granted he had a pretty boastful production team!.

Now, if you think back to 2002, what was hot and what was getting hot was a bit different from what Devin the Dude was trying to bring to the mainstream focus!. Ja rule was getting off his tip, artist like 50 cent were making a rise and although folks in the south had already been acquainted with Lil Jon and the Eastside Boyz, they were becoming the Face of the South at the time!. "Crunk MusiK so to speak!.

Given those facts you have to really look at Devin the Dude as an overall artist and probably dig deeper into his own management team!. Proabably had a weak team!. I don't know, there are a lot of contributing factors as to why an artist of his "certain" caliber only sold a measley 100,000!. (No offense to him) But, anywhos, we can safely say that he isn't overall a "bad" rapper, just hasn't gotten much of the better part of the worlds attention/respect!.

I can go on about why Lil' Wayne has gotten such a huge huge response but, that is a different story!. (and, no I am not a big Lil Wayne fan either) But, that's for another topic!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Great artist!. One of my favorites but, he is somewhat obscure!. It seems like some rappers just can't relate their music to a mass media/commercial audience!. I'd rather listen to him than lil' wayne, but the popularity diff is huge!. I think maybe some more pop influence would garner more attention from a mass market point of view!. More top 40 radio plays, commercial support, etc!. You almost have to concede a little substance to get that kind of popularity!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
