even though mims album bombed he had 2 high ranking ringtones and the amount of dough he made off them is equivelant to if his album went triple platinum. the industry is fucked in my opinion. look at it like this they rather make one hot song that makes them album type money instead of makin an album. to make an album that means making a minimum of 12 songs pretty much sitting in a studio for months and the cost of production on a whole album isnt worth it to the execs anymore..all they gotta do is have one hot producer make a beat turn the song into a radio hit and they'll make more money than they would off releasing an actual album. its hard to sell an album but not as hard to sell a ringtone. look at the souljah boy track and the hurricane chris track there both monster ringtones..but lets see how long u'll be hearin about them i doubt u'll hear about them after the song fizz out. one thing though i do gotta show respect to one artist thats doin it and thats chamillionaire he has the highest ranked ringtone to date and still flips albums and stays relevant. he got that hip hop police track wit slick rick which is another ringtone monster plus his album came out and i believe it already went platinum. homie made $12 million off the ridin dirty track in ringtone sales alone and that was just his cut. it netted close to $50 million and the track didnt cost more than 10k because it wasnt made by a high ranking producer.
