: There looks to be another casualty of the music biz. MediaTakeOut.com just caught wind that Lil Mama's debut album VYP: Voice of the Young People sold only 19,000 units. Given the chick's popularity that's a disgrace.

We gotta blame this one on bad promotion. Especially since the label spent almost NO MONEY on internet promotion ... Get with it music execs, it ain't 1999 anymore.

Anyway ... Shout out to Lyfe Jennings whose new album Lyfe Change sold a very respectable 80,000 units.

boundth

19000 albums?!? No surprise here


Jamiejo86

Obviously her voice doesnt speak for all the young people just 19,000 of them!


MsHollywood32

Awwww poor thang but I'm not suprised.


suky_beladonna

wow...I feel bad for her :(


Deja_honey

UMMMM...I DON'T LIKE THAT LIL BOY!


kandi_gurl

GOOD JOB LYFE! BUT ANYWAYS.. WELL AT LEAST SHE TRiED... SHE DOiN GUD FOR A START..


Jensanbelle

SMH, lol, I glad, I can't stand her.


LongLegged

Aww.....she is trying really hard to be one of a kind. SOmetimes that helps and sometimes it doesn't.

Don't know what else to say....I'm a grown women so the CD wasn't targeted at me!


prettyaseyes2008

Lil' Mama is not considered 'popular' among mainstream media. She had two songs and her stint on the MTV show with dancers. I STILL say she needs to switch up the way she talks because she comes off straight ignorant to some.


foxyloxy2000

SHE SHOULDA STAYED HER *** IN SCHOOL! :(


orentiamusic

It's not over! Keep it going Lil Mama

"Enter My Zone" Album Release MAY 13TH


ThoroBellaBaby

'cause she's wiggity wiggity whack


blacksapphire

this came as no surprise!! To me she really hasn't shown talent. She has guts to do wat she does bcuz the music biz is not easy getting in to but hopefully she has a plan B. if not she shoudl finish school if she hasnt and see if her talent grows into something else. And definitely not the voice of the young ppl. Only the voice of some ppl(but idk who they are)


Scoobs

So let me get this straight MTO. When Kelly Rowland sold 80,000 units yall said she flopped. But when Lyfe sells 80,000 it's "very respectable." I like him and Kelly but why are the numbers valued differently for the artists?


esha718803

bad promotion!!



kaypa

AT LEAST SHE SOLD SOME! *** SHE STILL LIVIN GOOD!


cbloxie

no surprise


OhSoLuvly2

Alexiah101

ummm...you expected more?

-Bunnie hmmmmmmm....... www.myspace.com/alady2nv2


random_SEXCi

I'm surprised it was in the TEN THOUSANDS range., As part of the YOUNG PEOPLE, she's trying to voice, she ain't speaking about nothing.,


esotericdredz

Oh well....

Its not a surprise to me....I never saw her as being all that talented anyway...And she sure as hell wasn't talking about anything...

Clear all these fraud hip-pop artists out of the way so cats who are saying something of substance can shine.


mzzlisha75

WOW 19k units??!! That's Kelly Rowland status. DAGG!!!!

Umm I dont see myself ever buying a Lyfe Jennings album, I want him to stop sounding like he's taking a dump while singing. What is that straining sound all about? I mean Neverland is okay, but other than that I aint never really "felt" him


SOSOFRESH

aww thats cold i wish she could have sould more she a cute little gurl!


cnpolk

cute, ok...I wish her the best.


SimpleNClassy

Haaaaaaaaaa... Duh! Her music just ain't POPPIN She can fool the kids,but 4real?!


esotericdredz

LMAO @ mzzlisha75!!! I agree, Lyfe does sound constipated when he sings....He does seem to make some real songs, but his vocal tone doesnt work for me.


TROOPER

SHE KILLED HERSELF WHEN SHE TARGETED JUST ONE GROUP BY SAYING "VOICE OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE" EVEN IF U LIKE ONE SONG OF HERS U WOULDN'T HAVE PURCHASED IT BECAUSE OF THE TITLE OF THE CD. ANYWAY SHE WACK AND NEED TO STOP TRYING TO ACT LIKE SHE KNOW SO MUCH AND BEEN AROUND SO LONG JUDGING FOLKS ON HOW TO DANCE AND CAN'T DANCE OR SELL CD'S AND SH!T.

The_Shoparazzi

19,000?

she must have a really big family.



LiilMiissAnonymous

did better than tiffany evans 4,000

o well..

moving on


AyeTayTay

Oh well...you know wut, I actually feel bad for the girl. She did her thing as far as promotion goes but like the other young chick, Tiffany Evans she didn't sell many albums. Both these girls are very positive and their music is as well. Unfortunately *** sells. I mean look at the numbers that Ciara did when she first came out. She was the same age as these girls w/catchy hooks BUT she brought that *** appeal. If Tiffany & Lil Mama wanna make it in this biz I'm not sayin they should go all out w/the booty *** or wuteva but they might wanna consider adding a lil *** appeal to their swag, especially Lil Mama.


Sinocent

Because she CAN'T SING....


crazyass

I was just thinking yesterday how difficult it is for female rappers after catching a few minutes of Ms rap supreme. Even the most popular female rappers in the business in the past few years don't even sell anywhere near gold status(500K) much less platinum(1 million units). There's no love for them out there anymore. Concerts is the only way for hem to make money now or perhaps signing with labels like *** and other independents where they can make $5-7 per cd. Otherwise there's no hope for them to sell records(cd's). Sad but that's real.


UsfQuietStorm1

shes wack..not surprised..


moniqueb731

uuuuuhhhh lil mama is wack...she's cute* but her music sucks booty!!!


keepitreal83

is it just me or does rihanna look like her CUTER older sis, lol

LadyLace

KingRamses2U

I am surprised as well she sold 19K units; it's *** music.....


blackizbeautiful

Awww, tough break!!! I like Lil Mama!!


TheBrokenSilence

I didn't see any promotion for her album that's a shame. Because she isn't talking about sucking some dudes ***. Keep grinding Lil Mama you'll make it. Hating is an disease and a lot of yall got it.



Danga1181

Get the Fcuk otta here anyone sayin this aint no surprise. I mean *** I think the girl aint got no real talent but come on 19K. That's just crazy. *** ***-Fed might have sold more than that...

That's just plain bad promotion. Nowadayz they wait 2 long after the first single 2 drop the album. Whateva pull she had from that lip gloss tune was done *** dead, then u drop the Album???? Ahhhh well


mzzlisha75

Lil Miss Anonymus - Tiff Evans only sold 4,000 units!!!??? WTF!!?? I love me some Tiffany Evans, *in my Benita Betrell voice* "don't nobody bet not say nuthin bad bout Tiffany, I luvs me some Tiffany" LOL!!!

I been saying I'm gonna buy her CD now I really have to do it, I feel bad for Tiffany she has some real talent


mzzlisha75

esotericdredz you know what I mean about Lyfe Jennings. Too bad I dont have sound here because my friends get a kick out of me imitating his voice. I got it down to a science. Ahahahahaha!!


cantholdmedown

I know one thing's for sure. Money does wonders, cause she was uglllyyyyy!!


VicSage

She really just needs to come clean and admit that she's really Lil' Bow Wow...Then she should sell more units.Real Talk


randomtxchick

surprised she got them numbers...she's lame..


antonios_mommy112906

That's really sad her mom just died...was that her real mom in the car with her in her lip gloss song? Sorry LiL Mama...keep ya head up.


mzzlisha75

RLMAO @ VicSage. U wrong for that! Ahahahaha


Atlman

Why buy cds when you can download music from the internet for free.


cNinja

@TROOPER MY SENTIMENTS EXACT. THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IS CURRENTLY KILLIN THEMSELVES TRYING TO SELL PRODUCT TO "JUST KIDS". lAST TIME i CHECKED MOST LITTLE KIDS WHO SHE'S TARGETING ARE IN GRADES 3RD TO 11TH. THEY AINT GOT NO JOBS, THEY AINT GOT NO CASH AND THEY AINT GOT NO CREDIT CARD TO BUY MUSIC ONLINE OR NO CAR TO GET TO THE STO (LOL).

FINAL NOTE: THIS IDIOT LIL MAMA TRIED TO MARKET HER PRODUCT TO A DEMOGRAPHIC THAT HAS NO BREAD.


B-Ri

Her lable waited way too long to put this album out. I think she could have gone plat if they would've just pushed the album out before Lip Gloss died donw. Too bad for her tho.


bigtymvp

only 19 *** with chris brown AND t pain on your first single????.....

dayum


Louder

she looks like bow wow


Crossnation

Lol...Yo I agree @Trooper, she was on that dance show judging like she was queen...At least Paula Abdul sold records back in the day...lol...it's wild....Music these days suck...I got a little cousin like 13 and he's jammin' Goodie Mob's Soul Food and Michael Jackson's Thriller and this is music that was out before he was born......


BKLYNBABY

The girl is untalented! I hope they don't bring her back as a host on America's Best Dance Crew!



jsime

That ugly little girl is not popular- she can't sing- she got lucky in the game- I cannot stand looking at her ugly being. She has no talent and to hear her talk she sounds like she has no education.


jsime

i forgot to say -I hope they do not bring her back on America's best dance crew- it was pure torture watching and listening to her on the show- I believe she messed the show up


CremeDeLaCreme

who care i really dont like him ooopps i mean her anyways!


QBtoVA

Better than a zero. Do yo thang Lil Momma make it roll...the dough that is!


QBtoVA

Uh...who goes out in a bra??? You couldn't just tell your friends you bought a new one???


gigi2007

thats a bad start..I cant forsee her selling more albums or having a hit song..she needs to go in another musical direction..I think the Lipgloss song was a fluke..it was a cute song and it was popular but its a wrap


gigi2007

I have to agree with what a few of yall said..shes targeting a market that has no money to buy CDs..they download music for free because their parents aint giving them $17.99 for a *** CD..especially with times getting tougher and gas prices on the rise..buying music is an unnecessary luxury, unfortunately..and someone mentioned earlier that she had Chris Brown AND T-Pain on her single and still couldnt sell records? those are two of the hottest people in the game right now..even they couldnt help her! shes gonna get dropped from her label after this disaster


MzQueenBee2u

I am not surprised... There is downloads....


Lyle

***!!!

but the music industry is burned right now...


OpenBlouse

How the f-ck she selling albums teaching kids how to do the Soulja Boy? She do look like a boy. Oh, suggestion to Prettyaseyes2008: *** slap yourself for posting that pic L, O, *** L!


Jace

Ok the album is called "VYP: Voice of the Young People"..... most of the young people are downloading albums so what you expect.


BeBeMeSo

Why blame it on bad promotion? Blame it on her lameness. I love America's Best Dance Crew, but hated her on it. Who thought to make her a judge? She isn't even a well-established artist or choregrapher.


RockStarMami

MAYBE IF SHE SPENT MORE TIME PROMOTING HER WEAK A$$ ALBUM INSTEAD OF TRYING TO JUDGE PEOPLE ON HOW GOOD THEY CAN DANCE SHE WOULD HAVE SOLD MORE.BUT HONESTLY HOW MANY LIL GIRLS HAVE MONEY TO BUY AN ALBUM,AND WHEN THEY DO THEY SPEND IT ALL ON A WEAVE.


pixiepoppin

TOO BAD


sexycyclopedia

snoop said ugly chicks dont sell records,guess he did his research



THECHAUFFEUR

IT JUST GETS BETTER WITH TIME!


Blkmankeith

I always thought Garbage rappers was suppose to sell low numbers....I wanted to jump through the tv and strangle her *** when she was on that dance show.


TaHReLL

i got the album.. yes the real album.. i try to support everyone cuz they gotta eat too.. but she had some nice beats..


HardCore

She looks like the neighborhood crackhead. Isn't it funny that the bootleggers sold more copies that the record stores? People are tired of buying one good song for $15.99.


dUhGoD

she booty anyway


fernie

MTO!!! KellyRowland sells 82,500 and you guys say shes a flop & when Lyfe Jennings sells 80.000 you *** say he sold very respectable!!! now i know you *** hate kelly get a *** grip MTO


Glamorous

I think MTO blasted Kelly Rowland for poor sales b/c of her popular status. Lyfe Jennings doesn't have the notariety that Kelly does, but since Kelly can't sell, I'd say they're on the same level... : )


tempertease

well what yall expect? *** get lose wasnt ***


KATTYKAT1

i told ya'll....she aint the voice of the young ppl...*** she wasnt speakin for me and apparently any body eles hhmmm i hate her cuz her ugly *** got to touched chris brown


mrfreshlyoriginal1

LMAO SHE AIN HOT PEOPLE DON REALLY LISTEN TO HER SHE JUS ANOTHER TIFFANY EVANS LMAO BETTER BUY HER A PROMISE RING LMAO HAHAHAHAHA
