I didn't know this was out already.About to dig into this:
Constant Obscure Hop over the Summer, wowee.
that they cant afford.
Pretty much. The goat hypocrite. I guess that Islams a beautiful thing is in the toilet now.
Oh well, I guess you cant afford to be choosy when your wallet gets run by a woman whose crowning artistic achievement is a song about giving up neck.

So Yeezus is basically his worst selling album ever.
That drop off is horrid, like just stank word of mouf for that album.

so i just read the RIAA rule change for Jay-Z. Is pepsi going to buy a million copies of Beyonce's next record now? Such bullshit. I can see artistic talent has been thrown out the window.
edit: maybe artistic talent is wrong words. allowing this is going to change music forever. this is the beginning of the end for smaller major label artists.

IMO regardless of what the album was like, this was probably going to be Ye's lowest worst selling album ever.
I don't think word of mouth has been negative either, it's still been overwhelmingly positive all over the internet (and anecdotally for me).
shouldnt he be selling boatloads based on his name alone? is the shine starting to fade on Kayne?

It has been negative/indifferent in the Barbershops.
I think his brand is damaged in the mainstream. I can't tell you how many girls I've talked to will go THAT SHIT CRAY and recite his NiP verse word for word or like a song like Runaway but won't buy his album and say they hate Kanye's guts.
That said, I don't think selling 300k+ off of your name alone is anything to scoff at. Most legends and established artists wish for those kind of sales, and the only new artists that really penetrate those kinds of numbers come once ever 3-4 years. He's returned to being divisive and it's been much longer since his last solo than it was for 808s, and at the moment there isn't really a lane for what Ye is doing right now either like there was autotune at the time, nor a single like Heartless/Love Lockdown. Imagine what 808s would have sold without those singles.
Related: Rosenberg reviews Yeezus.. again. His thoughts are all over the place. Loves the lyrics but is iffy on the production, what the fuck.

To be expected. Barbershops are institutions steeped in tradition and Yeezus is not a traditional rap album.

I was wondering what happened to that classic sounding Pat flow haha then he goes back to it on the 2nd verse
We get Weezy, Jeezy, Rozay and Gucci exclusively here. and pretty much anything with Future. 8 out of 10 rap cars in the Cincy area have a song featuring or by Future playing loudly.
How dope of a song would Bugatti have been if it was a story about waking up in a new Bugatti with no memory of how you got there and then dramatic flashbacks about how you got there. Just saying. It would have got the same radio burn because of the beat and hook anyways. Missed opportunity.

Cole had very little promotion outside of the typical radio interviews. Def Jam had blacked out vans promoting Kanye's album, alongside "Not For Sale" posters that not-so-ironically advertised his album. I'll give Cole dap for proving his label wrong, again. He's probably making more "real money" than the vast majority of his peers, who rely solely on the label, don't tour enough, etc.

Yoooooooooooooooooo that Deniro bangs definitely not a b side off patriarch like most of no.2.
Some of the clothes look dope, the others are making a statement. Y'all acting a fool just because it's Nas but you know only some of those are for everyday wear the rest are just completing the image of the 21st century gutter yet classy look. Yeah I'll wear some of those if they are good quality and aren't too expensive.
As we develop stronger immune systems due to immunisation and cleanliness pathogens are mutating into airborne diseases to go straight through a portal of entry. Those masks will be handy, you guys just don't respect people around you when you are carrying viruses.

His designer's coat tail.
Now Detox can always sound like he has Nas' dick in his mouth when he wears that.
He had those city to city listening sessions of his album and the whole 1$ tour thing going on. and 2 singles.
