Why did Migos album brick ?

[DirtyMoney]

Big mistake was not having all of these on there

Fight Night, Versace, Hannah Montana, Freak No More, Ounces, Handsome & Wealthy

Coulda just dialled it in but they left all the hits off the album

 

[Taadow]

Mixtapes kill the albums.

You don't understand how music works.

you think people are buying albums for those songs?

Theres is nothing you can point to and say "this is why people buy music in 2015"

That charge threw everything off seemingly

 

[Prince Cairo]

Migos never really struck me as a group with serious lasting power. It didn't help that Future and Young Thug also dropped albums this year.

No Label 2 is a personal classic though.

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

Their fanbase is majority poor black folk.

 

[Tommy Sheppard]

they didn't drop at the peak of their buzz last summer.

 

[L&HH]

No Label 2 should have been there debut album. 3 of the songs you listed were from that tape.

As far as why YRN flopped, it's because there was no buzz and they dropped it because that arrest killed their momentum. Overall, they're not really an act that bodes well for sales though.

 

[Da King]

Give all your hits away for free and expect to sell brehs

 

[be back in a bit]

People don't think their music's worth paying for.

They grew up 30 minutes from Atlanta in the suburbs yet claim Atlanta.

It's a city of urban sprawl, so it's not uncommon for someone living OTP (outside the perimeter) to still rep and associate heavily with Atlanta. Stone Mountain, Riverdale, Jonesboro, lotta yalls favorite rappers were OTP lowkey.

But in Migos' case, you not exactly wrong

They grew up on the north side in Gwinnett, which is definitely less 'connected' to the actual city than the southside is

 

[28 Gramz]

1.It wasn't good...strayed away from their original sound.

2.Timing..no single..in the middle of catching those gun chargers...no Offset...and Future is scorching their lane right now.

Not a coincidence they're dropping a tape in a couple weeks to catch a spark again.

 

[Love Sosa]

No buzz, no single, no hype

 

[MrFettuccinnePockets]

That arrest.

Bad timing.

Lyor Cohen calling shots.
