Hey, Dre could pull a birdman and buy up 400k copies.

Or better yet, include a download code for GKMC with every pair of Beats by Dre.

 

[Discotheque]

150 max first week. Even that's doubtful. Mufucking Taylor Swift killing the game right now.

 

[Recon]

GKMC is #2(Deluxe) and #9(Regular) on iTunes top albums. That is pretty damn good.

Section 80 is digital only but I think the TDE store sells a signed copy.

Thanks dude. Good looking. I see the TDE Store sells a hard copy with Kendrick's autograph for $15. Not bad. About to order it.

Weren't the last copies of albums people ordered from TDE just some shitty intern's signatures everywhere?

Also, wasnt the hard copy just the average quality mp3 burned to disc? I know that was the case with KRIT's tape.

 

[K.Jack]

I'm really shocked Dre didn't have some Beats commercials starring him and Kendrick queued up for the weeks prior to the album release.

Shit would've been free money.

Isn't 50 invested in his own headphones? He wouldn't be there.


And let's be honest, without 50 Cent, that commercial wouldn't do anything for Kendrick.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Yeah I just copped it on Amazon, then realized I bought the edited version of the Iron Fists OST. Amazon didn't have that shit marked anywhere. Motherfucker. Messed up my whole vibe when Ghost came in on track #2 and all his bitches and fucks were gettin bleeped.

Well they got my cash now so I'mma just delete that and roll with this 320kbps leak I've come across.

Yeah, I nearly did the same thing. ALWAYS double check that you're buying albums marked [Explicit] on Amazon. It's really annoying.

God DAMN if the album isn't amazing, though. One of my favorites in a year that's already been insanely good.

 

[Esch]

50 is irrelevant, to me it looks like dre's beats sold strongly on a commercial of him as a cyborg, sohh...

So what's up with Beats Executives? Why do they look like shit? Did Monster have all of their good designers or what?

They finally look as bad as they sound. They will sell a shit load either way. People like Ken Master will buy anything shoved down their throats.

eshas talmbout no 300k first week

like ninjas cant sell em to the store, then buy em back (joey!)

great album either way

 

[CountBlack]

I can see Rick Ross buying 100K of Meek's albums just to help out

Same way with his sketchy retarded amounts of downloads on Dreamchasers 2 in a short time or whatever

Also that Meek Mill Intro track was good..until he started screaming his ass off

I really want GKMC to do well. It's truly something special.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Went to a Target on my way home after the one I went to before class ran out of the deluxe GKMC.

Only one copy of the regular edition left.

eat.that.disc.

 

[The Return of]

Imma die if the entire Gaf-hop has to rock Meek Mill avatars besides cacophony

great album either way

I know...I'll just accept it and keep bumping it.

 

[Kaizer]

Kendrick is bout to pop up on Conan if anyone cares. As far as sales go, I'd 300k max. I think this is gonna sell more than we expect.

thats what happens when hey under ship albums

 

[IrishNinja]

i respect ya'll buying physical shit, and again if there's extras like art or you dig the format like des/others on vinyl, i can dig it

its just, for me, that shit's gonna sit there and never get played. it might as well be a casette and just on the shelf for status/collection look, im only gonna bump the digi and if the artist tends to get a higher % of that, i support that format. if they fuck around and put out low quality shit? buy it and bump the 320 kbs bootleg or whatever you like, no shame. maybe that's just me tho

Mos Def is the best part of this.

isnt that performance pretty much what set OF off?

 

[Recon]

Yeah, their popularity was obviously growing at a decent clip before hand, but that was their break out moment. Odd Future really failed to capitalize on it, outside of Frank Ocean.

 

[enzo_gt]

Not really, it came at the height of their popularity and then nothing.

Pretty good performance though.

 

[MuddyDonut]

I remember seeing that shit live, love the part when Tyler goes up to the guests. Too bad shortly after I lost interest. Bastard will always have a special place in my music player, though.

 

[Recon]

No, I think the height of their popularity was right around when Goblin was released.

Either way, we can agree hardly anyone checks for them now, besides Frank Ocean. That new Mellowhype tape/album was barely talked about, same with that Domo/Alchemist joint.
