The Game's Drillmatic album's first-week sales numbers weren't quite the disaster that had been projected earlier this week.

But they still weren't very good.

HitsDailyDouble hadn't listed Drillmatic in their top 20 albums when they released their mid-week projections, suggesting Drillmatic would be doing less than 19K in its first week.

When the final numbers arrived, it actually did 25K.

While that is certainly better than <19K, we're not sure it did well enough for Eminem -- who Game dissed on the album track "Black Slim Shady" -- to be compelled to respond.

We already know it didn't do well enough to be able to pay NBA YoungBoy for his feature.
