Clipse Receive Strong First-Week Sales Projections (118K album-equivalent units) For “Let God Sort Em Out”

[hex]

I don’t know what music sales numbers mean anymore, but this is dope…..I suppose.

Now that we are on the subject, how do artists make money now? Especially producers who can’t tour?

Touring. Money hasn't been in "record sales" for a long while now.

Producers make money off production. I know it's an overly simple answer but they can output music a lot faster than rappers.

Did better than I thought, glad it’s getting recognition

 

[Metal Face]

160k bundles for Jackboys; 58k bundles for the Clipse

hip hop is dead

ay @hex The same people in here who bailed on those Drake threads that proved they were manipulating streams are now in here upset at "bundles"

Same posters...

 

[DeuceZ]

My vinyl came in yesterday

 

[Robbie3000]

Any specific artist comes to mind?

Pharrell on this album. Hit Bot on the six album run that Nas did.

How much is a typical album budget these days? How much are producers charging per track?

How does Mass Appeal make money?

I have no idea about the economy of the music biz post streaming.

[Easy-E]

At some point Drake stans just gotta roll up their sleeves and actually listen to the new music he puts out.

Not talk about Kendrick or The Clipse or Jay-Z or Roc Nation or Drake's Spotify streams from his old music.

"What Did I Miss" is projected to drop out of the Billboard top 20 by August 2nd because they'd rather do all this other sh*t instead of just supporting Drake.

them shyts was not classic

Yes they were

 

[JYoung24]

Am "shocked" these nikkas in their 50s!

When did they drop their first project? i mean... never heard of their shyt when Pac, Big, KRS, Nas, 50 and them were dropping classics

Always thought the Clipse was like Lil Wayne, Ludacris etc peers etc

50+? smdh

But dope album anyways

Only Malice is in his 50's pusha is 48

 

[M4T]

These are good numbers considering they made zero attempts for a radio single.
