I Really don't understand how Travis Scott can sell 100k first week & Thug can't

[WickedGames]

There's mayhem on my twitter timeline for Travis music premiering now. The people passionate about his music and rightly so He's a special talent.

Wait for the OG album, I think he can push numbers towards 70-100


Who has ever sold more records for doing shyt like that .

Specially a dude who is also trying not to cater to birdbrains who still hate homos

45-55k first week seems to be his ceiling.

Lets just be fair...he'll never be on the level of Travis due to label politics, too many mixtapes, and rushed major label releases. Thug seems content with where he's at though.

I'm guessing his album cover scared a lot of people off.

 

[Regine Hunter]

I was gonna blame the the fan base that's more prone to downloading illegally

LOL looks like Travis Scott is about to get his 2nd official retail album into stores and online.

Meanwhile......

Travis works wit Yeezy..them KTT dudes love Travis, think he a genius and spend money on Yeezy clothes and shyt..so not surprised they buying albums

That's easy.


Young Thug will never be bigger than what he is because he is a "hood" mixtape artist. Yes hype beasts love him too but he really hasn't been regularly exposed to more like Travis Had.

Travis Scott

True industry plant. Before Owls Pharaoh dropped he was performing songs at major festivals. His hype and exposure was multiplied when Yay signed him on as producer. Because of his Good music and Roc nation affiliation it has opened more doors and has given him more exposure. His fan base is more diverse. Eventhough he is signed to grand hustle as a rapper that Ye and Jay cosign has done wonders.

Youtube their shows and you would see the difference in their fan bases. Thug has more of a hood and female base while Travis has more of a hypbeast white kid fan bases. So you decide who will purchase more music? That's answer.

facts

If it's hard to understand, it's obvious that you don't listen to enough radio to have an opinion. I heard "Antidote" almost every time I flipped from sports talk radio to any hip-hop station out here.

its 2016 tho. Who fukks with the radio?


I havent since 2005.
(i get what u sayin tho)

 

[IllmaticDelta]

Young thug is borderline incoherent in songs and doesn't take time to polish them. Most people don't want to hear mumbly incoherent rappers, which is why rap isn't as mainstream as it used to be

nah, it's actually more mainstream than before but the way it's consumed is different

 

[ManBearPig]

Oh the irony of a ton of COLI A&Rs who rally around the 'fukk the label' mantra and the 'SHOULD JUST GO INDEPENDENT' tag line wondering why an artist who was developed by a major label is doing better than a guy who did not.

or how bragging about who's more popular but then disdain someone else's success by having too many CAC fans when they are the ones buying everything

They don't pick these out of a hat.

 

[ManBearPig]

Neither are super talented but Scott at least have topics and have stories or whatever

Young Thug is all melody and almost not giving a fukk about rather his verses make since or not

No way in hell. The only big rapper right now is Drake, and his music isn't anywhere as popular as the hip hop stars of the early 00s were.

Today's hip hop only appeals to about a 14-23 year old age group.

Eminem was the only one who did a milli in the early 2000's


Drake right now is more popular than anybody in that whole decade outside Em
