Nas sells 5k albums opening week

[Overpss]

What do you mean no promotion? This album got more promotion than most albums that dropped in 2025...people that don't even care about Nas knew he was dropping an album

 

[Piff Perkins]

game dissed Eminem the highest selling rapper. Did he do 100k?


y’all can’t accept Nas music ain’t hitting for shyt no more.


the clipse with promo is selling 23x better than Nas is blasphemy

Nas sell 20k that still 5x less than the clipse. And the clipse album had legs. So that bundle talk mean Jack shyt

Nas shyt gonna be out the top 200 next week

Surely you'd admit one album had a pretty extension promo run (plus the biggest rapper as a feature) whereas the other didn't do anything besides an interview 3 days after the album dropped. Do I think Nas would do 100k with big features, big producers etc? No. But clearly he wasn't trying to do that with this album. 5k is a disaster, if true. But if the album did 20k you'd still clown him so what we talking about.

If the album did 50k he would still clown.

Premier should have cracked open the vault and pulled out some weapons grade heaters for this joint.

I don’t care if you still got it god damn, I wanted some heat

no way Would you believe a clipse album in 2025 would be one of the highest selling rap albums of the year if I told you that 1 year ago.

put it like this if I said which album is closer to 5k or 100k last year

nas and preemo or clipse

99.9% of people would say

clipse 5k

nas & preemo 100k

no amount of promo would have me believe otherwise

the clipse is about to have a gold album in 2025 lol

and Nas went styrofoam like a great poster said in this thread

 

[L $ C]

Its his fault... I wish they would have put in a effort in promoting the shyt because I hate seeing art being sold like cheap.. LIke nikkah this is NAS AND PREMO.... Make your fans purchase that shyt or feel like they own history

Put out one single/visual
another street single
then later upon release

I would have pressed up physical copies, Sold it with a merch, sold autograph copies and put it in the retail stores and at concerts. then LATER put it on streaming...

10000% agree

Business as usual for Gn0z

 

[reserved_one]

Album sales thread don’t hit the same anymore….Nas is not solely dependent on album sales anymore. Preme is the furthest thing from being mainstream. This was a passion project for the hip hop heads that waited decades for the collab album.

 

[Ziggiy]

How did Jay and Diddy do it? Lol. Don’t think I’ve even heard Jay dissing someone for selling less than him or him saying he’s the best cause he sold more than someone.

Your JOKING right????

 

[Harry B]

Your JOKING right????

Who did he diss for record sales?

From what I remember he said if skills sold truth me told.

But I guess you dudes are mad about the Em, pimp juice and us line

Preem does keep some heat in the vault. I thought this was dope for a vaulted beat.

So one bar means responsible, when just about every rapper has one bar (or more).

No, you're not on my level get your brakes tweaked
I sold what your whole album sold in my first week.


I was gonna kill a couple rappers, but they did it to themselves
I was gon' do it with the flow, but they did it with their sales
I was gon' 9/11 'em, but they didn't need the help
And they did a good job, them boys is talented as hell
'Cause not only did they brick, they put a building up as well


The truth in my verses / versus your metaphors about what your net worth is

Still only one bar about him selling more.

The bar about dipset was about them calling his 700k first week a flop cause he faked his retirement to only do 700k.. Seems reasonable to reply on topic
