T.I Shows Concern over Low First Week Sales Projections for Trouble Man

Based on first day sales, T.I's latest album (Trouble Man), which dropped 2 days ago is projected to sell between 150-175k first week. T.I has a record of selling 500k first week with his albums, so this is below expectations. Read how he reacts to this below-

"Yes," Tip said in an interview when asked if he is worried about first-week sales. "Yes. I ain't worried, I'm just concerned. I'm considering it. I'm a big dog, man. Big dogs do big dogs things. That's the separation of me from them. I'm a big dog. That's what I preach. I practice that. Everybody always tells me the business is changing, the music is changing, the climate's changing but I remain the same." ("The Breakfast Club")








I'm sure this will be a big worry for T.I this week. Really, I think T.I started loosing that selling power when he started going in and out of jail. And then, since he has been out of jail, he has been trying to project the good guy image in interviews, and through his reality TV show with his wife. But then, he gets on songs and still talks that street ish...so I guess people are confused or something.
