La Fouine: CDCC, how to explain its bad sales figures?

While CDCC already looks like a commercial flop, we tried to understand why it did not sell well.

On 2 June, La Fouine was making its big comeback with the Capitale Du Crime Censuré . After the commercial failure of his previous album New World , this new opus was synonymous with revenge for the Yvelines rapper. And to regain the heart of his fans, the author of “Give me my money” decided to return to a hardcore rap, he who had opted for pop and positive speech on New World . Result? The public has not really been there: with only 2413 copies sold (without the streaming) during its first week of commercialization, CDCC is already announced as a commercial flop.
To begin with, let’s talk about the basics for a rapper: his music. What is CDCC worth ?

Like the song “Chargée” , he seems to have appropriated the trends of the moment, to make his own sauce, both hardcore and dancing. Good okay, there is not really a big tube that really stands out, and he no longer has the rage to defeat that he could have before. At the same time, it does not have the same daily either … But it does not prevent, on CDCC, it can be said that La Fouine did the taf.
So, what’s wrong? His fans may not have kissed that he again clashes against Booba (which has just been autographed by Karim Benzema) , he who decided not to respond to the attacks of his rival, but who finally Does machine back? Maybe he was absent too long, he who did not release anything for 2 years, which represents an eternity today in the world of rap? Did his fans move on, and prefer to listen to the new generation like Jul, Nekfeu or Damso? Maybe it’s a mixture of a little bit of everything … Nothing says that the mixtape is not going to find its audience over the weeks, and that it will not finish gold record. But if CDCC really turns out to be a flop as is feared,
