Shyt like this show nikkas dont NEARLY be as popular as they think they are or what twitter say. Real sane ass people is not listening to this weird nikka much less BUYING. Its just small group Stanley's that dont really matter.

He is popular to be fair. But yh u right no regular sane person is gonna go out and openly buy his album.

All this gay 4 pay shyt is putting people off & even authentic batty boys don't fukk with him like he probably thought they would.

Sales don't matter to me, it's a dope project. But my takeaway is

1) Thugger is not making strides with the mainstream (white people), nor is he really fostering a loyal fanbase. He's good for 14-18k sales based on his last few projects.

2) Not selling doesn't mean you aren't popping...but stagnant or decreasing sales suggests you aren't growing

3) Future transcended the typical "club rapper" trappings whereas Thugger hasn't

4) I think this is partially because he is terrible live and can't really perform decently. It's hard to build a true following if you aren't touring consistently. Thugger is largely a studio creation when it comes to his vocals, the engineering, etc. It's hard to gain popularity if the people don't see you. Not everyone is The Beatles, who largely became a "studio band" with the later/better albums and stopped touring consistently. It didn't matter, they were still popular. This is 2016 tho and rap, that's not gonna fly.

300 is really trying to make thug happen

but i just think they have no idea how to do it, and dont realize that they have no idea how to do it.

i feel like theyll eventually drop him and he will go on to have a dope career anyways. kinda like when someone gets drafted to the redskins, the redskins dont use them right, and then the player leaves and excels somewhere that just lets them cook

I can agree with this. I respect Thug more than I did when he first popped or even last year (outside of the cross dressing trolling) for making it past 18 months, same conceding I did with Future, but all this benchmark of the new school shyt ain't adding up to me.
