bigted Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 (edited) Well it was his lowest sellin' JJFP album at least, I could see why "Born To Reign" flopped but "Code Red" is arguably his best work he's ever done, probably the most underrated rap album ever, it's definately one of the greatest rap albums ever recorded, it should've outsold "He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper" and be the highest selling JJFP album, he was at the height of Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air then with popularity too.

Every single song is top notch and there's no filler tracks. I don't see how it sold so low... :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevTastic Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Pretty much all artists release weaker commercial material as singles and when thye try something different it doesnt do aswell. Wills Singles, WWW, Jiggy, Will2k are immense pop songs, there's no denying that. Even if they arent his best work that we know they are catchy tunes aimed at the pop market.

bigted Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Yeah most artists do release catchy songs as singles, those are the type of songs that entertain people the most, that's why the commercial audience doesn't like "Code Red" and "Lost and Found" that much, I think even "Born To Reign" had more catchy songs on them then those 2 albums combined and if that was promoted better it might've came closer to "Big Willie Style" numbers than those would've with the right promotion.
