Do they get day to day data from retailers, exit polls? I don't understand. What are they feeding into the models?
probably
Source?

I think they can only get projections from pre-orders, and if they get more orders in for more copies. Though IIRC the 350k initial number is flimsy itself because it came from some editor's guess.

Why? I don't mean it as "J Cole tried to make a concept album." He wanted to make a very cohesive, "serious" album that would secure his place as one of the top rappers. Remember, Cole has said multiple times that he views himself and Kendrick as being the new Nas or Jay-Z of this generation. With all that in mind, you don't think Cole was heavily influenced by the impact of GKMC, and wanted to essentially respond to it with a record?
I don't think he cares about the Yeezus shit; he probably thinks his album is better but his idols aren't his rivals (as he says on Let Nas Down). He's concerned about his own legacy, specially in relation to Kendrick. Born Sinner didn't make much of an impact, and guess what. In a couple months when Drake sells like 500k first week with a huge album, Cole will once again be the odd man out.
ILLFIGHTYOU - Self-Titled
ILLFIGHTYOU is Tacomas EvergreenOne, and UglyFrank and Khris P of Sandlot. One part horrorcore, one part balls-trippin drug rap, and one part janky stand-up comedy. On their self-titled debut album (out today) the crew pulls out its impressively-girthed id and smacks you across the face with it. (I think thats a compliment.)
Not particularly taken by this but it's a good chance to post up a link to member Khris P Kream's solo album from last year, Yes. Really slept on release which any fans of old Young Money style production should be particulalry taken with
Late October.

So who's switching over to the X-Box now that they're unfucking the DRM situation?

Cole is topping 300k, hardly anything to ignore. For this day and age those are big numbers. Love him or hate him he is making an impact.

I never switched. Stuck with the 360 and Ill buy an Xbox One. DRM shit doesn't affect me really

Even if true:
I'm not rolling over, not for shitheads who would even think of doing it.
still 100$ more for weaker hardware, i have no idea why you would
Power advantage and the openness to developers mean far more to me when it comes to a several hundred dollar investment for a broke college student.
And I'm pretty much the biggest Halo fangirl ever too, why this is happening, or happening so late too is just confusing. They haven't earned my trust as a consumer throughout the past month or so.
It's got the game I excited most for.
Dat titanfall. Prob the only next gen game I'll get til 2015. Or maybe 2k as well.
look up his tour dates. before then.

If I cared about hardware power Id play PC games primarily. Prefer the ease of use for consoles, most of my friends all play Xbox so I'll stick with it. Im a Halo fangirl like Enzo too.
Sony exclusives never grabbed me either. Im happy with my Xbox so far.

I'm probably going to wait for the first price drop (6 month estimte) before even thinking about picking up either. Or until a game is shown that really wows me. So far, only MGS V has piqued my interest.

I'm not interested in anything at launch on either console, so I'm going to wait to see how it washes out. But the PS4 is clearly the frontrunner. If MS actually does jump back it could sway be back with the right games.
Has J.Cole's production skills really improved? I noticed a few people mentioned it above. Outside of "Power Trip", nothing really leaped out at me. Jacking Outkast & Tribe Called Quest doesn't help either, I mean those songs were cool, but all they did was make me think of the much better originals.
My biggest gripe with Born Sinner is everything stays in this mid-tempo range the WHOLE way through. For the first few songs it's alright, but eventually it becomes sleep-inducing. And its not like the songs are bad, they're just really unremarkable and end up blending together rather than making the cohesive dark sound he was going for. Cole really needs to stop trying to produce everything himself. If he really was trying to respond to GKMC, I'd hope he look at how distinctive each sound is on there, a result of varied production.
It's cool Cole's fanbase is still supporting him and coming from someone who's been a fan since The Warm Up and was actually inspired by Cole's story to pursue my own music dreams, I'm happy for him. But dude really needs to let some guys like No I.D., Hit-Boy, T-Minus, Boi-1da, etc. come in and help him out. Nothing on this album topped "Rise & Shine" or "God's Gift", and songs he made freebies like Chris Tucker & Head Bussa would've definitely helped this album out.

you should be about that pc games life
Microsoft needs games that can justify that price tag and the inclusion of a device I didn't ask for.
Right now Sony has the hardware I like, the Software I love and the right direction regarding their treatment of the Independent Developers. That's all there really is to it.

I barely play games, don't want a pc/already have a Mac, just wanna plug the thing into my tv and have it go.
Listened to a bit of Sideline Story yesterday and it's got some great tracks, man. Tracks on his first album hit harder than any tracks on his new album (God's Gift). Now I'm not so sure which album I prefer. Sideline Story is shorter and hits harder, and his new album has some great tracks but overall is stretched pretty thin.
Yeah Sony exclusive lineup is looking surprisingly weak for the PS4. Drive Club and Infamous and not much else. Nothing that is must buy either.

Shocked by this announcement though. Never thought a company as big and stubborn as MS would back down like that.
Titanfall and Halo next year made my decision for me.

The Mac Miller album is actually better than Yeezus. Only good song from Yeezus is Blood on the Leaves. Kanye loves to slowly pronounce words with a pause at the end.
Blood on the Leaves is epic but the autotune at the end makes my head hurt.

Man, I really don't care for any of the songs I've heard from OLD. This is happening. I love a Mac Miller album and I have zero interest in a new Danny Brown LP. I might go hang myself.
Why do people keep saying this? That flow is used on maybe one-two songs.
