With this release the guy has went from a low level underground rapper to one of the top 10 most popular rappers out right now. Amazing

As for Schoolboy Q (real name: Quincy Hanley), he's charted two earlier albums: "Setbacks" (peaking at No. 100 in 2011) and "Habits & Contradictions" (No. 111 in 2012). They have sold 17,000 and 48,000, respectively, according to SoundScan.

Cudi did 90k just off of randomness on an unprompted EP. Wonder how that makes Pusha and Small Sean feel?

:mjpls:

@nikkaz In Paris

cuz it was online only....think bout it like this you got a better chance off buyin an album if you do it like that instead of releasing it to the stores. You think fans gonna wait 2weeks to buy it after it has leaked? 2 chainz already said dat in a few years there gonna be done with physical copies

Breh, basic reading comprehension should make you realize you wrote this post for nothing.

Sean and Pusha both did under 90k first week with their last projects on major labels with actual promotional pushes for retail. Cudi surpassed both with an unprompted EP only available on iTunes.

You should put down whatever you are smoking or drinking tonight and understand or research the history of what I wrote in relation to this particular website.
