Nicki Minaj "The Pinkprint" on Pace to Sell 155-165k First Week

[DeuceZ]

Dangelo doing a 100k yall missed that shyt

 

[Pop123]

imagine what it would have sold if it wasn't leading into christmas, ish woulda prob did below 100k,

 

[Wild self]

rappers pushin 40 aint really our thing either folk

Guess you like c00n music. The shyt that kills potential of black folk, mentally and musically. Listening to Keef/ Durk/ random drill artists 24/7 DOES make you want to kill

I see you another government agent that is COINTELPRO.

 

[Wild self]

yep...they really spending a lot of money on her....Roc Nation aint spend shyt on J cole...The most it took was J cole tweeting the itunes link. No features, and he prod. like 80% of it.

Nicki on the other hand got like 20 songs 20 diff producers 10 features lmaooo.

Yeah, after Cole's success in this album, Nicki must be like and knows that her end is near. Her fading fanbase and her getting more desperate will lead her to making sex tapes and porno acts

 

[Brandeezy]

So Nicki gets to drop an album that might do less than Wayne's last album that had almost no promo but he can't get a release date

Something bigger going on

 

[Omerta]

the world in hip hop works in funny ways.

More than 10 years a go, 50 Cent dropped a great verse which had a line

That boy D'Angelo, he determined not to fail
That nikka went butt-ass, for his record to sell

and now, the week that D'Angelo drops his next album, despite being beaten, he does well against a woman who probably used sex as promotion than any other artist for a long time (ever?)

 

[ISO]

IDrake could muster 300k with a decent single and rollout but even still, that's a farcry from their previous projects. Drake even said on Versace he was looking at 1m first week for NWTS and that shyt pulled in at 640k. yet?

300K?

Cole just did 360K and no way he's outselling Drake, Drake is going Gold first week without doubt IMO.

 

[ECA]

Does he though?

nikkas ride out for KDot more than they do for Cole? I don't think the difference is THAT great between the two.

Well one has a platinum plaque and the other one doesn't

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

Gonna be forced to get ass naked soon

we can only pray this happens sooner rather than later...

 

[Marvel]

Who dat? Who dat? I-G-G-Y

 

[Marvel]

Maybe Nicki needs to reinvent herself into an early 90s Queen Latifah to push units

 

[Piff Huxtable]

after Chi-Raq dropped i thought the album had a chance to be decent

song didn't even make the final cut

 

[Real]

nobody in chicago bump j cole or kendrick
thats too soft for our taste

Cuz yall c00ns are too busy killing babies.

....animals.

 

[Rapmastermind]

Name your album "Pinkprint" when your whole style continues to bite Lil Kim. Pathetic.

 

[blackslash]

nikkaz dnt fcking get it

Music doesnt sell anymore

Its image

Period

Ppl keep saying that "bububu its cuz cole has great music which is why he sold more"
No nikka..its simple marketing....in this day and age where its as easy or in many cases easier to steal music than it is to buy it..the people are only gonna want to truly support you if they want to support the kind of character you give off to the public

Nicki Minaj's image is one that stands on the foundation of arrogance, objectification, etc.
And people are not so quick to give support to those they feel dnt need their support

Cole on the other hand has been marketed as a humble rapper
From the promo for his album and his recent pop ups in protests, and the content of his music
People are more likely to support that than the former

So cole stans needa stop acting like "bububu its cuz music is selling"

Nah u and ur purchases are a product of marketing just like everybody else
