I can see this selling over 100k with the promotion it's getting and that's a good look for an album with no commercial type singles (In this era of low sales)
I got mates that ain't even into hip hop like that that know that swimming pools song.

Honestly I couldn't even see someone like kendrick get signed to a label and be promoted like this from 2004-2010 so it's def a good sign for hip hop.

All it would take is a quick tweet by Dre or EM to say "Buy Kendrick's albums" and that would help Kendrick with sales....

But these lazy asses especially Em have no clue about promotion

If he does anything over 100k it just MIGHT restore my faith in people actually SUPPORTING Hip Hop after the disappointment of F&L2 not being properly supported. Seriously, this is REAL lyricism that we're all crying and whining about and yet people can't spare twelve fukking dollars to let these artists know that their attention and dedication to the craft is actually APPRECIATED and that the labels are on the RIGHT path by not forcing garbage ass Lady Gaga/Bruno Mars/Skyler Grey assisted singles on the radio 24/7?

I mean seriously, Kendrick Lamar is one of the (FEW) artists who you can confidently say puts a lot of thought and attention to detail into his music. His rhymes are top notch, his production is stellar, his message is honest and has the ring of authenticity, lets SUPPORT this man and really let him know that his hardwork isn't for not. It's EASY (comparatively) to be Souljah Boy and make money c00ning off of ringtone jingles, it's much harder to become commercially successful making music talking about ANYTHING of substance, aren't we all tired of the unbalance of commercialized Hip Hop? Lets DO what we can and support....

Not bad Dre......

Didn't know he did that

But still Eminem has got the biggest stans on the planet and would get better results pesting his stans about buying.

Aftermath in general for such a huge label has really been underperforming when it comes to promotion.

Its like they just assume they are always gonna get huge sales because of their name.

They could have run with trying to get Fuse or MTV to have multiple interviews with Kendrick or offered free ice cream or a tuition for your college semester payed off if you buy his album.

His stans don't like rap music though.
