? You just want to push him over 100k? so it would be mac, ye, and cole?
wanted to add- i like the album nice follow up.
yep that would send a huge message to these labels not taking any chances and pushing the same archaic and honestly ANCIENT formula
ALL 3 of em have gone so far against the grain (i aint a fan of kanyes new shit, its forced and stupid to me but i respect the guy for proving you can sell still) and outsold these microwave music "hitmakers" that labels shit out.
mac gonna push 100k off his huge fanbase with no single
cole easy into 200k, ok he had a single but it's some natural shit, not really for clubs or radio and he would have done anyway, nothing forced about it
kanye FORCED himself to do some different shit and is gonna do 400k.
jay z gonna come and do millions easy too with a very abstract marketing strategy. he's not gonna put a single out
then you got dudes like french montana who got all the hot joints on radio but can only sell 50k. great for them, they aint gonna recoup and the industry is changing this very second. dont get me wrong im not shitting on dudes like french, they do what they do and theyre good at it. but labels have to take a look at what they're doing and start taking more calculated risks like what jay is doing
i wouldnt be surprised if the 3 highest selling albums this year were kanye, cole and jay z - ALL UNDER THE ROC!!! the only thing that could change that is eminem but hes a purely pop act these days anyway. im not a huge jay z fan, anyone that knows me will tell you im not big on his music at all but you cant help but admire the guys business sense
