Flop. Just cuz he a fan favorite miss me with the not bad shyt.
80k on a major label while being pushed by Kanye is a flop.
Did you not see all the a list features on his album?
This nikka is never releasing another album. If meek is struggling to get another release date. This nikka has no chance after this.

Did they though? Based on what exactly? Because it's the narrative you would most want to be true? :pachaha: I blame Wacky D for this "i'll just randomly pretend like I'm privy to rap album promotion budgets in vivid detail based on nothing and for no other reason than to make up imaginary points vis a vis rap sales" stuff on here...best i can tell they both got damn near the identical amount of promotion..only difference being that Sean's singles actually flopped less than Pusha's...there's this weird nonsensical messegeboard logic where people act like if two projects sell similar numbers of albums, but one has more successful singles than the other...the one WITH the successful singles is a bigger failure...as if single sales and airplay aren't an ADDITIONAL source of profit, but instead somehow a cost

What we have here is maybe the perfect example of how perception can be altered by meaningless stuff...

How is 80k a flop?

His last album on a major did 30k this is 2.5 times more.
Flopping is doing below what cats expect you to do, if Apple's revenue is 100 billion next year that's a flop, stock will tank. But if Facebooks revenue is 100 billion the stock will fly to the moon.

Kanye's promo came from putting him on the Cruel Summer shyt and on a feature on MBDTF 3 years ago. The rest was some cold ass beats for his singles Numbers on the boards and King Push. He didn't give him some smash pop hit or promote his shyt. Def Jam is not putting him on national TV, giving him award performances, putting him on pop features etc..

So you think def jam is happy with these numbers and excited to give him a budget for a following album?

Be honest with yourself. If you don't satisfy your label you flopped!!!
