90059 is looking to push 14,000 – 17,000 copies

[Da King]

Album was average to me, but TDE did a pretty poor job at promoting this nikka

lets say he sells 17000 and he gets 5 dollars an album thats 85,000 not bad

nikka he not seeing $5 an album, who knows what kind of fukked up deal he got

he aint gettin $5 a unit, tho.. distribution deals arent set-up to benefit the artists like that..

At least people can stop pretending TDE is an actual thing other than "Kendrick and boys"

Why? Cause they can't sell like Kendrick?

Nobody remotely gives a fukk about the other members. For various reasons: they don't have the right look like Kendrick does, they are great wallpaper for Kendrick to stand in front of, their music is sleep inducing, etc.

Stop trying to pretend they're some rap supergroup. They're not.

It's Kendrick & The Boyz

 

[Clark Wayne]

lets say he sells 17000 and he gets 5 dollars an album thats 85,000 not bad

it's very unlikely he gets $5 an album. Most artist, even the top selling artist only get $2 per album and 10 cents per iTunes single song download.

Kendrick is the star obviously and is marketed as such. Judging their power as a group based off individual sales ain't the way , They don't have a Black Hippy album yet, if that comes out and flops then

I guess we'll wait and see. But I'm gonna assume that Black Hippy shyt aint happening. Kendrick doesn't want to be on a roster with bums and there's near-zero demand for it. Why would TDE risk their reputation?

if Black Hippy was going to be a thing, it probably would have happened now.

 

[CanesMiamiLakers]

Y'all are harsh

 

[ManBearPig]

i was predicting 50k but whatever.

Their a roster of homies and decent rappers who make decent music, they all sell enough and eat enough off of shows to not have to work a job or be in the streets I'm assuming so I'm sure they good with that, I dunno who was sayin that Jay Rock, Schoolboy or ab soul were gone sell a grip of albums .

And majority of the people who bought TPAB would by a Black Hippy album off the strength of Kendrick

Really the release came out of nowhere.

I didn't understand why Jay Rock was dropping an album without dropping a mixtape series like Kendrick and Ab did.

Rock is older and he was mixtape crazy at one point

he has like 9 mixtapes already under his belt

i make more then that nikka

 

[AMcV'88]

better get the CEO to "unlock" another couple of thousand copies of the album b.

still haven't got around to listening to the album yet.
can't be worse than his last one.

Q's big in his own right and has a varied fanbase.
the guy in your avy probably played a bigger part in that happening more than his own team though.

I'm waiting for the physical on the 25th. I don't buy digital albums
