How much did it cost?
To lease 10 projectors and speakers for 1 night and 20 people to take care of it?
And how much does twitter cost?

He had the same type of budget for his promo as Papoose has for his mixtapes minus the SNL performance. Of course it's promo, but I didn't know that we were in court here and had to be completely literal. But it's a new day, social media, blogs and the super fast information flow is enough promo for someone of Kanye's caliber. Of course he won't maximize his sales, but it's enough to let all the fans know what's good.

How much it costs is irrelevant. It had promotion. A Papoose mixtape is not going to have his fukking face projected 30 feet tall on the side of buildings in major cities across the world.

And of course we're being literal when people say "he had no promotion". That's a ridiculous, false statement. I get that people like the album but let's cut the bullshyt out.

Hilarious that the same idiots who shytted on Lupe for Food & Liquor 2 only doing 80k its first week when he LEGITIMATELY HAD NO PROMO are the same ones copping pleas for Kanye when he had a huge amount of promo :pachaha:

Kanye West had tons of promotion. Not having traditional promotion is not the same thing as having no promotion at all. The title of the nikka's album is a blasphemous play on Jesus Christ, the original album cover was a picture of Jesus's face melted in half, the tracklisting has songs called "Black Skinhead", "I Am a God", and "New Slaves", his official album cover has nothing on it but a red piece of tape, and his face was plastered over dozens of buildings all over the country to debut his new song. Oh, and he debuted 2 new songs on Saturday fukking Night Live.

THAT'S NOT PROMOTION?

Don't ya'll ever get tired? When do the lies end? When does the truth begin? Cut it out.

Other than SNL, none of that is promotion. Since when is it considered promotion to put a red tape on an album cover or to have songs named New Slaves ?:comeon:


F&L2 had radio singles, Yeezus didn't :ld:
