I liked the album too. I usually don't go for Doom stuff, mainly cause the beats but Danger Mouse hooked this one up. I can finally listen to something of his all the way through. Anyway, I can believe they cleared everything, I mean shit it took them almost two years to complete. And if they used Library records, they probably paid a flat licensing fee anyway and AOL got money.
If it's all cleared then I'm going to post samples for you danger lovers as a public service. I mean, I could've let Strings Pop play out for mad bars too, but again, I should damn well hope it charts with BILLBOARDS running all city. Jeezus.
yeah - I'm surprised how many people clear samples now. My homie Ayatollah is doing an instrumental album for Nature Sounds, and they're clearing all his samples. for an INSTRUMENTAL album. thats ridiculous, how well could that do? I'm not clearing shit, so that has me a little scared
I thought the album was OK, it was cool. I'm not super into Danger Mouse though. Grey album was OK, I don't know if he deserves a career b/c of that.
138 ain't bad. I think something like 90% of all CD releases sell less than 1,000 or some crazy shit like that. Only like .05% of albums per year do better than 50,000. 138 ain't bad at all
You are exactly right and Doc, that's the point. THIS is the album beating almost all of the non-commercial hip hop albums sales, so it is significant if only for that.
Again, when you have billboards and bus stop ads all city, it should be worth noting what results of it. And if you clear your samples.

yeah i see that.
But I also see this thing as "out of the norm" for non-commercial rap. I mean, it has a built in fan base that would not normally buy hip hop. I mean, my dad wants this album because he is a huge Aqua Teen fan. So judging this along the same lines as other non-commercial rap is unfair. YOu cant hold a PUTS album in the same category unless PUTS had Samurai Jack all over it and was endorsed by the makers.
I enjoyed the album for 1 or 2 listens. I might listen to it again in a few months. But probably not in a few years or longer.

Oh, I think the numbers are impressive; I just wanted to correct what looked like a possible misunderstanding.
word up.. Maybe we should sell half the interest of the PUTS album to, say, family Guy. I'm bugging. Anxious though, as I seat here typing I am avoiding going downstairs to the studio and working on said album. Maybe Mountain Dew will sponsor our album, or 7-11. I want Billboards and bus stops god dammit!!!

no he doesnt.
I heard he did stuff for the Gorillaz? I didnt even know that shit was still going on. The first one was bad enough.
Nope! doesn't look that way. hmmm.
cartoon enthusiasts?
Just to clarify: it may be at 41 on the rap chart, but it's at 138 in the Top 200, according to SoundScan.
yeah. Thats why I got it. Cuase of Aqua Teen. Oh and the first track I heard was that shit with Ghostface, that is what did it.
But why does everyone care so much since this thing is so insignificant? Who cares who is buying it? Who cares if they cleared or didnt? and why?
It debuted at 41, week 2 it dropped to 98, now it's week 3 - 138. It's soundscaned about 45,000 copies so far.
As far as the album goes - I'm liking about 3 tracks, the rest is all pretty boring IMO.
Doom is doing radio commercials for Cartoon Network now - I heard one yesterday where he was rapping about Boondocks on Power 106.
