Exactly lol

We know so much that the music isn't special

Or they just don't have anything to rap about because they repeat the same 3 topics in every song
I love the way Cudi is soooooo mysterious. He leaves you wanting so much of him. When I listen to his music, it feels like im gazing into his soul.

These new age rappers lack that.

He has a following, but you have to be a superstar to do any kind of numbers these days

Well, majority of his fans are some wild ass jits who have no intent of paying for music. The label will make bread on that show money.

That exceeded my expectations if I even had any.

If he sells 50k copies overall that's 500k in revenue. Hopefully it didn't cost them more than 200k to make that album. In that cases there's a decent chunk of profit to be had there. :ehhh:

If you're not trollin I like Cudi's music too it has soul

Cudi is a great artist, it's actually a little ironic that I appreciate his music more and what he's saying now than when I used to toke chronically.

Rocky is a mainstream artist. He's about 10 tiers above Durk. Rocky sold almost 130k-150k first week.
That was his second major release though

in terms of popularity and brand recognition

I put asap jcole and wale and them on the same level

kendrick and Drake a level above them

lil durk a level below asap and them

The fact that he even got the album out while under the shytty Def Jam label is an accomplishment within itself. Zero promo from the label for most of the process
