Nas flopping is understandable. This is a niche 90s throwback album with little promo and no singles

21 Savage though :mjlol: .

And for nikkas who keep bringing up Clipse. They had one of the highest first weeks in all of Hip Hop this year. They doubled 21 Savage new album sales.
Those fools had the most promo I ever seen in my life, when they showed up to perform at the Pedo Mecca I was like :gucci:

Put it like this. Pusha T HIMSELF sold half what Clipse sold first week with Its Almost Dry and he had Jay Z on his lead single. And the album was produced by half Ye and half Pharrell. Clipse promo was unmatched.

The problem is the beats are very minimalist and bare bones. They got no melody or head nodding qualities.

There are no "Nas is Like" or "Memory Lane" type tracks on this album
shyt I can vibe too

The beats arent sonically pleasing
Funny thing about Nas Is Like is that after he made that beat. He made a few more beats kinda similar to that like Royce’s Boom etc etc. and people killed him for it back then. lol.

The album "sold" more than 5k, more than double IMO. But it doesn't matter anyway, low numbers

I remember people loving Boom

And then there was this. This was HEAT when it dropped



No one hated Boom. But after he made those. He started making more beats in that same vein and people were accusing him of being redundant. Watch How It Go Down came out like a good 6 or 7 years after those fam.
