Busta & Fab are super long shots. Jada too.
Realistically in 2014/2015 how many rappers from New York could release albums that would go gold??
- Thread starter MiC
- Start date
Post a link? He was at 325,000 in August.... It shouldn't take 9 months to go gold, especially with the label push and promotion that he gets
it leaked a month early. your hate for dude is so strong. 414 it pretty damn good for someone who only had a mixtape out and no prior album release.
ASAP Rocky has a Drake/Kanye/Jay Z budget when it comes to promotion. Kendrick, J Cole, Wale, Mac Miller, etc all did better with less promotion

@bigboss
you just say things.
lol how the fukk do you know what dudes budget is?!
you're dumb either way for saying the underlined, this is his first album (debut or not) and all the other artists you mentioned had prior albums out.

It was a first album breh.ASAP was 200,000 short of going gold at the end of 7 months of his album being out
It was a first album breh.
You're from NY
So out of the list of people who currently have less sold
Wolf came out 3 months after and is actually independent so...
Mac came out 6 months after and is independent so....
Indicud came out 3.5 months after is on pace with less promo
Wale came out 6 months after and almost has Rocky outsold
Kanye well
J cole welll
Jay Z well
Drake well
Kendrick well..
Asap Rocky is a flash in the pan one and done, fukk out of here
I know you love Harlem, gurl, but don't call me dumb when it's been nothing but love, outside of your inexplicable ASAP stannery
Why no mention of French Montana?

@bigboss
doesn't matter when they came out. they've all maxed out at this point. ASAP outsold them.
Personally, I only liked 2 songs from the album, but you don't think 400,000 was decent for the debut?
He outsold 3 indie artist and got outsold by the other 6 major label artist in 6 months less time.... congrats
Oh, I should throw Macklemore on this too, so 7
Personally, I only liked 2 songs from the album, but you don't think 400,000 was decent for the debut?
It's decent but not spectacular. I bet on him selling less on his next album.

@bigboss
you tried to sneak Wale in there like that album is still moving. cut it out, bozo. and yeah, throw Macklemore in there. he's indy. what's Mac & Tyler's excuse again? they're all plants.
how is it just "decent"?! give me another new rapper between 2011-2013 who sold that much off of their FIRST album.. i'll wait.
ASAP sold 325,000 through August and now has 414,000 so it's more than possible.
Mac and Tyler don't have ASAP's budget or the NYC machine behind them
Macklemore and Kendrick. Not many new artist out there, really.
