Damn lil Yachty bout to move 70k his first week

[Sauce Dab]

Rappers, outside of a few exceptions, tend to trend downward. Popularity-wise.

If he can't go gold on his 1st or 2nd album....do you really expect him to go gold on his 3rd, 4th, or 5th?

And I'm not talking about record label expectations. Gold is the lowest possible certification from the RIAA....if you can't hit gold as an artist, why are you on a major label? There's literally hundreds of indie artists that never go gold.

Fred.

Most labels just want a successful single they can push. Most albums don't sale too well so labels just stuck with singles. And Yachty has a few gold/platinum singles. Solo and featured

Lil Xan and tekashi 6’9 made him more popular people are looking for a new coloured dread Villain

Kids, I assume.

The problem with hip-hop is we tend to look at first week sales but if he fails to go gold (like his first album) then it's kind of a moot point.

He could go gold though, who knows? But artists have hit the 100k range first week and struggled to go gold, so I dunno.

Fred.

true..

i actually skimmed the album.. it might have a few gems on there that could takeoff this Spring/Summer.. cant even front.. that joint Oops is kinda dope..

He's not that popular to do anything over 100k , who the fukk over 23 years old is listening to a Yatchy project? Some of you dudes keep trying to use these 90's metrics to today's hip hop and end up looking like idiots

The iron knee of you talking about forced metrics in a thread celebrating 70,000 in first week stream equivalent “sales” :prodigylol:

I thought he released a free mixtape?
