Holy fukk! 2 chainz only projected 55-65k first week!! (says he was under shipped)

[Ninjaz In Paris]

The Chi-Town cats?

 

[No_bammer_weed]

Yup. I think 2Chainz thought he was some cultural phenom, and to be fair he did have a HUGE two year run. But there's always someone waiting in the wings to take your spot when you just appeal to fickle fans.

People treat rap music like fast food. It's disposable entertainment. And unless you build a fanbase you ain't shyt.

Word up....chris rock said it best, here today, gone today!

 

[NSSVO]

He had no hit single.

 

[Ninjaz In Paris]

so when you was at def jam they didnt have two chainz flopz name up on the board neither

how's Sean's sales doin'?

thought he was goin gold?

how's his tour going... oh wait... he's not relevant enough to headline...

how's ya boy @NigerianDonDada

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Straight up, Feds Watchin was NOT lead single material. I hadn't heard BOATS 1 yet, so I thought it was the final single from that

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

Ross next, gotta finish this brick house

 

[REdefinition]

He shouldn't have come back so soon.Its like he's been on 50 songs since his last album so his "single" just got lost in the shuffle with all his features and random verses. I didn't even know he was scheduled to drop an album until I read it on here like last week.

 

[Long Live The Kane]

I think he definitely fukked up putting another album out so soon...the first joint had legs and was spawning hits and selling units deep into the album cycle...I'm Different was out of rotation no more than a month or so before he premiered Feds Watching...Don't know why he was in such a rush...there was essentially no "anticipation" period for this new joint

[King Sun]

his career is dead, and he aint even know it.

Dont these niqqas understand that when you appeal to the lowest common denominator of fan, while you may experience a wave of commercial success, you are appealing to the most fickle base of all. The artist is just a faceless entity whose popularity appeals to the fickle fan at a given time, but once somebody new comes along that artist is a wrap overnight. Future has already assumed 2 chainz "fan base", and once future falls off there will be a new niqqa for industry and brain dead groupie fans to dyck ride.

Tpain was the biggest artist in the world a few years ago. Now the niqqa couldnt sell out a concert at a barnes n noble. What happened to huge "stars" like soulja, waka, gucci, etc? Say what you want about a group like the roots, but because of their actual music, and not some superficial appeal, they have a loyal fan base that will go to their shows, buy their records, and they have the respect from industry types far and wide. The mainstream game in hip hop is fcked right now. Travel at your own risk.

Lets be honest none of those cats album's didn't even go gold if I last remembered

 

[Malcolmxxx_23]

Can he still built a loyal fan base? Or is it too late

 

[Batter Up]

2 corny overhyped rappers flopping and becoming irrelevant in the same week

 

[dunkman6]

That Mainstream Ratchet beat tho.

I co-sign everything you said except mentioning T Pain

so it's cool to hate him now for popularizing autotune which took over every genre of music

From 2005-2011 this nikka was hot, you going to compare 2chainz to a nikka who had massive hit after hit for 6 years?
