Exactly what I said... He's gonna KEEP supplying bangers.... Should've stayed indie... Dudes projection sales off of the old ass formula.

What do you mean when you say he should've stayed indie? He's been signed to Def Jam since 2009....

The album was dope and hopefully positive word of mouth keeps it going. He'll do some consistent Yo Gotti numbers.

This right here.

Like Jeezy would ever give another artist a better deal than him :heh:
How is his record sales a reflection on his record deal? Dude has 3 singles out right now with 3 videos to go with them. Who was the last Def Jam artist to get that before their debut album?

told dudes this album was mediocre :trash:

but nikkas here swore YG gets love in the streets all over the nation. :lolbron:

that ratchet west coast sound that YG exemplifies is NOT loved by the majority of nikkas out here. that shyt is strictly local. keep that shyt in cali, brehs. that's why i wasn't fukking with the album. that dj mustard sound is tired and weak.
If you think this album is mediocre then you would've shytted on Dog Food when it 1st dropped.

but anyone that was expecting huge numbers clearly dont know how things work these days

Pharrell only sold 113,000 copies of his album and he has the number one song in the country right now. That pop shyt normally doesn't have crazy huge first week numbers anyways so he still might do gold. He did 70,000 in the UK which is pretty good over there.

only good thing about that album is the mixing, and it's only good because it was mixed by TDE Ali (the booklet revealed that he mixed 90% of the tracks)

That's not bad. He's probably gonna make bank on singles. Those 99 cents add up

selling this much isn't good on a major, but it really depends how much promotion was put into it. YG is a strictly west coast nikka, probably cali specifically. nobody from def jam is doing shyt cause all them years they was spending more money than taking in cause records sales was bogus. idk why he would sign there instead of interscope though

I guarantee he pushes at least 120,000 1st week. The streets and the kids fukks with him too tough for him not to at least do that. If he doesn't then Def Jam did a horrible job at promoting dude. He should be all over the breakfast club and hot 97 right now. His album dropped today so we'll see.
@nikkaz In Paris we got another Big Sean level of year long fukkery going on :mjpls:

Is Sean even at 120k yet :leon:
