Nas sells 5k albums opening week

[JustCKing]

The fukkin clipse outselling Nas 23x (if 5k hold up) is wild

Nas dont need to make more albums

Jim jones putting up them numbers. Which Nas stans clowned btw

Poor comparison. They announced the album at an LV show. Had a full roll out that was one of the best in recent years. Their whole album was produced by Pharrell. Pharrell is featured. Kendrick Lamar is featured. They had videos. Interviews in GQ.

First Off, I find it funny all the people who told me they dont care about sales in the album thread popped right in here soon as they could get a chance - lie to ya selves not to me

Now, I decided to use some of my data analytic skills to see if I could come up with a good estimate of what ol Esco Sold based on 21 savage album sales on which we do know the numbers for

Savage album currently has 48.3 Spotify streams (estimated to sale 53k)
Nas got 6.8 million Spotify streams...

By my calculations this will put Nas at around 7.5k sales... lets just say 8k

Better than 5k

Just say it's a terrible number.

It only should be a considered a flop if they put in a huge effort in promoting it(which they didnt)
Nas isn't social media savvy and posts like twice every two week
No Video
No interviews to promote it
No lead single
No commercials
No press release
None of that shyt...
They just put it on streaming sites and kept it moving... Alot of people didn't even know they dropped a album.

Meek isn't going to get more promo than Cole, Drake, or Kendrick. Don't even know why he was even brought up. The point is Clipse was not going to do those numbers without a rollout. They weren't going to do those numbers without Pharrell.

Flopsir Jones aka Flopstradamus fans in heavy defense mode

 

[DontEemTry]

Ain't no way on God's green earth that them numbers are real. Pretty sure it's just jokes. Coz ain't no way boy

And compared that to Jay’s album sales and heck, even 50 and DMX’s album sales and come back to me with an answer.

You Nas Stan’s are mad delusional.

EDIT: Biggie only had two albums and both sold significantly more units then Nas whole catalog combined.

Are u fukkin dumb? Biggie one of the most popular rappers ever and he only had 2 albums to choose from. That doesn’t mean Nas wasn’t mainstream. U were fukking wrong about literally everything u said. U said after 96 he didn’t sell like that when he had a higher selling year 3 years after 96. U just a damn dummy. A nikka with 7 platinum albums and 3 gold ain’t mainstream in what world stupid muthafukka?

 

[L $ C]

Let's see
No single
No video
No big rollout
No big features
Barley any promotion
Nobody gives a fukk about that shyt today. It's not 2003

Nas said on the Budden podcast he didn't give a fukk about the money or sales

ok but whos fault is that? like that shyt MATTERS today...look at the clipse project


look, outside of the budden interview (which was great) and some promo on nba cup...there was 0 promo 0 vidoes 0 single 0 interviews.....

to me as a massive nas stan, that sucks man. Nas has so much stuff as his disposal, treat a release like it matters man!

1 sir Nastradamus is not multi

HHID is not play sir

life is good took 8 years to go gold

so you wrong as well

but child of god Nas was a multi plat artist 24 years ago lol

It is nikka Columbia hasn’t updated the certifications for like 4 of his albums since release.

So the goat rapper. The comment section king can be out done by a B tier group from 2002 with only one big album.
all it takes is promo and a washed Pharell

It is Nas’ fault but he ain’t fukking complaining. And if Nas do what Clipse did he would be at like 120K first week.

nikka ya mans ain’t drop since 2017. His last shyt he did wit Jay Elec did like 30k. Clipse had one of the biggest rappers in the world on a single and was beefing with 2 of the biggest rappers in the world with Drake and Travis. Was also beefing with Ye.
