Why Doesn't Drake Go At...

[CrimsonTider]

What gimmick made MCHG sell 500,000 the week after giving away 1.3 million?

@CrimsonTider If K. Dot and Cole do 300k first week and Jay is more popular than both of them, then yeah he's doing his usual 400k to 500k first week. It's really that simple.

The Gimmick was the cause of that.

He was running commercials during the NBA finals with Timbo, Pharrell,Rubin, Swizz, JT and Nas all vibing.

I don't believe he will sell anything under 250k, but this is a pointless convo because Jay isn't releasing an album before he knows it will be the biggest thing in hiphop.

You may right tho. no reason to doubt Jay

He gave away 1.3 million copies via Samsung. I didn't buy the album because I got it that way. He then sold another 1.3 million after that. That's superstar status, no other way to view it. There are like 6 artists in the world (Beyonce, Em, Swift, Adele, probably Drake and Hov) that can pull that off (maybe Bruno).

Drake definitely only drops when it's all eyes on him, that is true. He's not going to drop before the end of this year with the Weeknd about to drop.

And talking about the NBA commercials, everyone has commercials and promotion for their albums. I think you guys sometimes forget that Hov's fan base grew with him. What Drake is to 21 year olds, Hov is to people in their late 20s to late 30s.

Everyone has commercials but who has promoted an album through TV like that? Those were big time spots.

Kanye can do it to and would have if he didn't sabotage his own rollout.

Kanye can sell 500,000 first week no doubt with the right singles. But he's been doing so much stupid shyt lately, it's hard to figure him out. He alienates too many people. His antics have made people forget that he should be above the Drake's and K. Dot's in stature based on his resume. But he dikkrides these dudes and acts like a child. He hasn't aged gracefully at all.

 

[mikishere]

because drake doesnt want those problems that simple... he dissed cudi and pusha for less

 

[Arithmetic]

So Jay can annihilate him?

After Pusha does so this week?

Something happened after MBDTF where Kanye started caring about his celebrity more than he did his music.

It was probably a mix of thinking he could use his celebrity to help opened those doors in the fashion industry and being bored with music.

 

[King Jove]

i'm tired of the sneak disses now.

i'm tired of these dudes leaving it up to the fans to determine who they're dissin.

NAME NAMES.

go at it for real. that's what made the meek mill / drake shyt so interesting at first. it wasn't sneak disses or subs, you know who they were going at in their diss tracks.

That has to be what it is. He accomplished almost everything in music and wanted to do something else. It was like he made music because he had to.

 

[2manyFCKNrappers]

Drake is still doing all of Jay's moves so Hov is still sonning him indirectly.

 

[CHICAGOrilla]

Because they playin chess not checkers

 

[Cladyclad]

Is this one going to be without a gimmick? no Samsung or Beyonce/or w/e hot rapper he leeched on too. No chance he does 500,000 first week.

Dawg Lady Gaga had her album sold at 1$ 1st week and her sh1t flopped relative to what was expected. For a album (MCHG)to encourage people to want it for free then turn around and sell well over a million is

Jay Z core fan base support dude. He never gave me a reason to doubt he can make a quality album

 

[MIKE SPLEAN]

you didn't hear? Jay Z has that Clinton stimulus package now, if Drake says anything he'll die of a suspicious suicide that will never be investigated


besides, that'd take a lot of ghost writers

 

[HoLLaBaCK]

Because he can't star power his way out of the beef or play the I'm to big to respond route. He'd have to see the battle thru! So he's content with taking shots.

Can u really diss a nikka u publicly claim you'd probably cry when he dies tho?

 

[I love Latina women]

Because he really don't want it like that and he knows that if Jay disses him it's over
