[Jefferson Jackson]

the price of surrounding yourself with 'yes men'

 

[ESCAPADE]

He has released 3 trash albums in a row, it was only a matter of time before the sales started to reflect that.

I dont like the guy and never did but i dont get the point? He is right on track. Did what Jigga did.

Both artists are ol heads so don't understand how doing a quarter mill is a bad thing?

When has Eminem ever not doubled or tripled Jay Z's sales? A Jay Z album that was hindered by being exclusive to Tidal?

It's a different era. Dudes are stuck in the past.

first of all, I don't like eminem or his music so let's get that straight. I'm not here to defend him, but 1st week sales should not be that important. I still don't remember when they became important. I don't think Ready to Die's first week sales were even 70k and Fergie's first month sales of her debut weren't that great but she kept putting out great singles and people caught on. That album stayed on the charts for a year consistently selling thousands per week. It's not how you start but how you finish. This album is bs though.

This is a guy thats used to doing 20Million regularly

250k is a legendary fall off

Em never sold 20 million. He never did 2 million first week either.

 

[Big Boss]

It's over

 

[prophecypro]

Once you get past Kendrick, Cole and Drake everyone else doing 260 or lower tbh

 

[Mars]

You can't talk about the low 1st week sales without talking about the circumstances that led to the low sales total.

Eminem had:

No hit
No music video
Went at Trump
Went at the cops
Went at his fans
And a poor rollout by Interscope.

I met an Em stanley recently who copped this album despite the leaks and said the album was incredible Guess what race and class this stanley was?

it’s even worse when you realize it’s 197k in actual copies sold when his last album did 792k 1st week
