The 70,000 figure is a lie, seriously. They may be selling but that figure is gouged. With internet, mixtapes and non-traditional sales that do not take place in brick and mortar stores...it's much easier for artists to make up sales figures as there is no verifyable stats/tracking aside from what the artist claims.

It would be funny as hell if the IRS would start to audit musicians based on their quotes. If they would go up to artists that say they sell 100,000 without distro (ala Flip and Slim Thug etc.) and inquire why they are filing tax forms that state they only make $15,000 in the calendar year.

If many of these artist were in fact selling what they claim, why are they still so eager to sign major label deals that will pay <$1 per unit. Let's be real for a minute.

While we may never know the actual amount of sales, one thing that can be verified is web traffic - if most of their sales come from the web...they do not have a high enough amount of traffic to substantiate the sales - the traffic-to-purchase ratio is impossible. Check alexa.com or others and plug in the web address.

Regina they had over 3 million hits? Go figure

I agree, but let's hope they did sell that many units. Just for support!!

Regina I agree with you a hundred percent, these rappers need to stop with this I sold 200,000 in the street and on tha internet type shit! These artist be giving that shit away and lying about they selling, tell tha truth! These same lying azz rappers be handing out these cd's free at end of the club at nite, keep it real pimpin! SouthWest Zone4 pimp!!!

SOME LIE AND SOME TELL THE TRUTH! I DON'T GIVE A FUC WHAT NONE OF YALL THINK NIGGAS WAY BUYN LIL FLIP SHIT BEFORE HE WENT MAJOR ALOT OF NIGGAS BOUGHT HIS FIRST CD AND SWISHA HOUSE MIKE JONES GARBAGE BUT I WAS BUYN SWISHA HOUSE SHIT OUT THE STORES IN 2000WHEN THEY HAD 50/50 TWIN,SLIM THUG,ARCHIE LEE AND PAUL WALL AND CHAMILLIONAIRE SO ALOT OF THESE RAPPERS REALLY SELLN! LIKE ALOT OF YALL NEVA HEARD OF C-BO FROM SACRAMENTO,CA BUT I BEEN BUYING HIS SHIT SINCE LIKE 98! HE SOLD OVER A MILL INDEPENDENT WITH LIKE 10 CD'S!

I have heard of C-Bo, and those are cases there are distro channels, you can actually get that CD in a store. I'm not knocking the hustle!!!

For the other comment, you're right - cats talk about how many CDs they burned or had pressed...not how much they sold. I'm waiting for the day one of they baby mommas drag them in to court for child support and when they try to pull that I'm a broke indie - they lawyer sites clippings from publications quoting they sold 100,000. For a DIY indie, that's a million bucks, lol. Soon the IRS will Dupri their asses bases on loose lips and they'll have to fess up.

With regard to the comment about them having 3 million hits, I do e-marketing - the ratio hits to sales are impossible. They would be having to get those types of hits monthly and even then, it's a stretch. Let me explain something about hits, 1 visitor can rack up 30 hits in a single visit depending on the website layout (anyone with a website knows this) - so when people say hey "I had a million hits" - it translates to about 10-15K unique visitors a month, the remaining hits more than likely are repeat traffic.

I'm not sayin cats don't sell, I'm just saying figures are usually inflatted. There is nothing to be embarrased of. If you sold a few thousand on your own, that's very impressive. No need to multiply the figure you sold by 10. T.I sold about 20,000, Kem (Motown) did about 10,000, Eminem did about 5-10,000. I believe them.

I feel you...And judging from what I heard the only way these cats could have pushed 70,000 is if they had 70,000 close relatives. That shit is garbage. Dude asked if we should crank it or yank it? Yank the shit out that mutha til they catch whiplash!

I listen to "AMP CAMP" full album this group is the truth. I believe that this is the next big name group to come out of the ATL. I Checked also and they had enough hits to sell a lot more than 70,000 CDs. I believe that AMp CAMP has just shocked the music seen. I actually bought the CD so maybe i'm number 70,001. Go AMP CAMP...your newest fan Trina. P.S. The guy that said it was garbage must be a hater trying to do what AMP CAMP has done. Don't Hate Participate. AMP CAMP is THE TRUTH

These cats are hot. This is some of the best production I've heard lately. Crank this shit like a BENTLY. I just bought and downloaded that PEACH BOTTOM GIRLS. That shit is CRUNK!!! it's just a matter of time before it's in high otation. V-103 and 107.9 stop slipping. AMP CAMP has arrived with The Arrival. I know that a lot of these other up and comeing artist are a bit shook right now. You best to get down with these cats instead od hateing on these cats. I looke on the internet and they are spinning on radio stations all around the world especially in Europe. So 70,000 sells is a real possiability. I'm feeling it .. CRANK the Crunk. CRANK CRANK CRANK!!!!!

I went to their site they are really good. I'm a Peach Bottom Girl. They are doing the dam thang. I'm going to buy the album. I only buy good music and AMP CAMP is makeing good music. Crank AMP CAMP a million times I'm a Fan

I work at the strip clubs and that Peach Bottom Girls song is like the new stripper anthom. So for you hateing ass niggas . It's crunk cause it makes the ballers drop that cash. If the strip club is fillin it then the shit must be CRUNK. I speak for all the ATL strippers. "CRANK CRANK AMP CAMP"

There CD is pure garbage. No sh!t they made up 70,000 in sales, and noone ever heard of them, so they manufacture a lie to get an article here to get some buzz. Fuck 'em!

I gave it a listen and it's OK...Stop hatin

Personally im not feeling it. The lyrics are amature and the production is bubble gum pop. Even with clean production i dont like it....YANK IT...PLEASE.

I checked out the music. I like these niggas. They sound better than most of everthing on the radio. I actually heard that song "Way You Do That Dance" in Strokers. The girls in the club really like it. If the clubs are feeling it it must be strraight. Crank It PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rob, You must don't get out much. I actually saw these cats at V-103s (For Sistas Only) a couple of years ago. They even announced them on the radio with the other acts. I've had a chance to see them live and they turned that shit out better than the big name acts. They have some fine ass dancers too. They also hosted the ball room at Toss Swade Teachers Ball and the room was Jammed packed and Crunk. I don't think that V-103 will just let anybody represent their events . With this being said if they are good enough for the BIG station. They must be doing it BIG.. CRANK IT REAL BIGGG*************

Do the math. For every one million hits they would only have to sell 23,000 units. That's not really too hard to believe. While some of yall hateing "AMP CAMP" is makeing Money. I listen to the Album and then I actually bought and downloaded it. They actually appeal to us ladies so no wonder some of you niggas are hateing. "G-Lover" can get my Goodies at the drop of a dime he is Fine as hell. Crank "AMP CAMP" ..Let's get Crank

I don't know is it me? But why do all of these different commenters keep spelling the same words wrong like makeing and takeing etc....things that make you go hmmmmm... I don't know but something smells fishy around here. Can somebody say SKAM! Just accept the comments as constructive criticism then go back and make better music I say. But hey I'm just an innocent bystander

i like it crank it

70,000 ..I don't know. i did hear Greg Street talking about them so they must be doing someting out there

i did some research and they are on a lot of music web sites and quite a few of internet radio broadcast. I went to Live365Radio which is the world largest internet radio broadcast and they are on several radio broadcast there. So Skam you should do a little of research before you try to discredit something or somebody. Just check it for yourself. Don't take my word. The proof is in the pudding and my research prooved that they are ligit. This is the internet Do your Homework. Crank them up.

I heard a few of you mention Peach Bottom Girls, so I went and listened. This guy G-Lover sounds like Sir-Mix-A-Lot which wouldn't be a bad thing, if this wasn't 2005. Trina is a damn liar too, first she said she bang the album already and they are the truth, then she says...I am about to be customer 70,001 - get your story together. Ayo Skam, I thought I was the only one that peeped that the same person was posting trying to play like they are different people...somebody needs GED class.

heard of them on mix tapes. crank it

Some of yall just hatin sounds good to me.

I believe that Skam is the Skam all of the negatives comments have the same typo errors. he must be the one who wanted to be a part of a rap group but did'nt have the talent so he spends his time hateing on everybody else that has come up. Please Skam you are a straight Hater. I see your comments on every blogg on this site and you are always the first to hate. Crank amp camp ..Yank that hatin person name Skam from this site.

Sounds Pretty good. Crank it

Skam stop hating. You the same omne who said that. Michael Vick was not all that good of a quarter back. You are a straight lame ass hater. I saw these niggas at for sistas only v103 they rocked the crowd. Must be the deal. crank it for the love

You crazy...I would never discredit my FAVORITE NFL player, in my hometown...Vick is my dog idiot! get your facts straight and get to that GED class Regina was talking about before they lock the door and u need a tardy slip.

Fuck you Skam. the falcons beat the eagles nowy you on vicks nuts. Dumb ass nigga

Showing love. I like the flava. crank it. Yea Skam you be hatin on everbodys blog. i remember you did try dis Michael Vick now you on his D*ck. Amp Camp doing the dam thang. i listen to a lot of internet radio stations. that's how they selling so many units a lot of those stations not even in the U.S.. The world much bigger than ATL. I've been hearing Peach Bottom Girls on internet radio stations for about five or six months. Just look them up on internet radio. a lot of yall trying to do music need to learn a thang or two from them. Stations up in Philly interviewd them on new artist spotlight. Skam sto hateing..Crank it for the love

I listen to all 16 snippets on their web site. I must be honest . It truly sounds like they have some talent. Truthfully speaking there is not too many good songs on the radio now days anyway. Most people are quick to hate but when these niggas hit mainstream the haters be the biggest groopys. Stars are made every day and this group has obviously created some type of buzz. G-Lover sounds a little like Tupac and that alone will get him over. I like to give props to whom props are due. My honest opion is that they have great music and are very good business men. If you click al the way through their website you can see that it is optimized full e-commerce. i checked the buy check out page and they can receive currency from almost anywhere in the world. That's not easy to do and you have to get not onlu IRS clearnce to do that but you have to get international clearance to do that, and we all know that the IRS check a black hip hop group for any possible fraud or skam. If ther was in skam going on by three black men and the US government had to give clearence and they go cleard. That say a lot for their business savvy. That to me is even more impressive that the 70,000 figure which is very possible. Crank them for the business savvy

I love it. two thumbs way up, crank'em up

When is the Peach Bottom Girl video shoot? I would like to represent for the thick redbones. crank it

They poped off in Grant park july 4th weekend. The dancers they have are thick as shit. Look like some Luke dancers. Crank for the thick ass dancers

Thick Dancers?? Then I love it. Crank it

They actually sound better than most of the mainstream artist in heavy rotation. I attend UGA a lot of these white girls be playing that peach bottm song in their ipods. I bet most of their sales are from white females. I'm a black female and i like what they represent but we all know that most of hip hop is bought by whites. If it sells let's be happy for them not mad that another black company is being successful. If they were a white rock band from Atlanta we would not find it hard to believe. We are sometimes our own wort enemy. i'm actually proud to see my brothers doing good. i read some of their bio and they are really solid beneath the service. Believe it or not two of them are black college graduates. Crank it for the successful black business

It's funny how the ATL so late reconizeing their own. I actually read about Amp Camp about a month ago. The web site is a major site in the Europe. just visit www.glasswerk.co.uk and they have been buzzing about our very own hip hop group Amp Camp> They are blowing up big around the world while some of yall hateing at home. I guess it's true (you haven't made it until people start hateing on you)..i say crank it

They straight. Crank it,

who the fuck is Amp Camp??

Can you download their Cd to an Ipod? I like the snippets enough to patronize a few dollars.

They sound decent. I've released an independent album and I know how hard it is, so if they were able to sell that many copies, big ups to them. Glad to see that they were able to do it. Check me out at FLIPSIDE4EVER.COM

I agree with Jo Gamigno. Big ups don't hate

I read their story on THOSETWOWORDS.COM they definitely have the hip hop industry buzzing. I'm going to support these brothers. Will buy the album. Crank it

I checked out their website. I think they are hot. Crank it

I went to their website and listend to the music. I sing myself. I wonder if they are looking for any new artist. They really sound good and I'm probally what you would call a Peach Bottom Girl with a pretty face. Who look better? Apple Bottoms or Peach Bottoms. ATL you already know the answer to that. crank it

What's up with Li John now days. Anybody know?

Lijoh in jamica filming a flick (LOL)

I am a music major at Clark. From a musical stand point, these guys know what they are doing. That's probally why they are selling so many units in other countries. The international market is totally different from Decatur and Bankhead. The smart thing is that they also have songs that appeal to this Dirty South market such as the peach bottom song. Wake up black people and learn something from Amp Camp. What we hear on local radio and in the local clubs will have you blinded about what's really going on. The Europe market don't give a fuck about what''s hot in the dirty south, they just like good music. I guess Amp Camp don't give a fuck about who's buying their music or what part of the world is buying their music. They just makeing that money. Crank it or Yank they probally can care less as long as people keep bying it.

Crank it

what it is!! sup every body im 100 percent atl

LOL Peach Bottom Girls that's funny Crank it

I like that song Lord I Need Your Power. A great message

What does amp camp mean? Is this some type of school for juvenile deliquents? Next i guess we're going to have a group called Boot Camp lol
