FINAL: 1st week sale projections: Future 53k Iggy 52k

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

Fewtcha is a neccessary evil


Not everybody is meant to be some rappity rap "I let Nas down" college kid/real hip hop/white people safe mainstream gold artist. Future just has to accept his destiny. He is gonna be big in the black community and give off many styles and flows. But he aint mean much to White America.

I dont fukk w/J-Cole or Joey Bada$$ nor do I think they are what NY or the game needs

Pretty sure if Max B was free and released a album he would put up these type of numbers as well

Max B is not an entity in the game anymore, nor is he relevant to the discussion

Im just cause ATL is supposedly runnin the game but one of their biggest names is only movin 50K first week

I thought yall took over NY radio I thought yall supported each other I thought yall were the new epicenter Somethin aint addin up

why you guys gotta bring up Max.......

*goes to play Coke Wave*

Lol @ these excuses. nikkas have no shame these days bootlegging their favorite artists and crying on why they flopped. The fly by night rappers are gonna get thrown in the bushes real soon cause record companies are tired of flops.

 

[Wild self]

So the black community has been reduced to ratchet music?

So the "boring" rappity rap dudes are less authentic, you say?

Maybe Future can learn a thing or 2 from Cole and Kendrick about building a die hard fan base.

Numbers make sense.

 

[Sugar]

This is with the stimulus package too

Yo my ninjas, in my everlasting mission to put the numbers in perspective, let's look at these future numbers a little more closely.

This is futures 2nd album after a relatively successful first campaign. So his budget is probably in the mid to low six figures.

He has a pretty heavy hitting production line up including The Runners, Mike Will Made it, Sonny Digital, Boi 1da and Metro Boomin, all producers who have charted, most have charted several times, and a few who've had top 10s. In other words, they're expensive. I'd say 5-10 stacks a beat is a conservative estimate, if not just flat out low, but I'll give him the benefit of having strong relationships. $7500 x 12 = $90,000 at the absolute low end estimate on production.

He's got Pusha T, Pharrell, Kanye West, Drake and Wiz Khalifa as guests. Kanye and Drake have to be getting at least 30k at the absolute lowest. We also know Kanye appeared in a music video, which is extra $$$. We're looking at another $90k for features, again a low ball estimate.

So we're talking $180k just for production and features, not mentioning recording, videos, travel, marketing and promo, and his own pocket money. His total budget could easily have been $400k +.

After all deductions the label is making roughly $4-5 per copy sold, so at 45k first week, we're looking at $180k - $225k recouped first week. This album needs to make it to 100k just to break even. I think it's safe to say Future is sweating a little right now. This is a bad first week, and could potentially be an out and out disaster.

Don't bring Max B into this



Future's album was semi-trash and the singles flopped. What do you expect? He sold what he should have.

Old Future is gone brehs

 

[Grand Champ]

I was expecting he would do these type of numbers. I was thinking 40-60k first week.

 

[Real]

And nikkas on this board had the nerve to disrespect T - Pain :shaqhaha:

Future will never have as many hits a T Pain. Never

 

[Sad Bunny]

Super disappointed. He deserved more. Smfh. Shouldn't have pushed back the album, man.
