Ab soul only sold 5k? Edit: he bricked twice

[ericb4prez]

Shoulda dropped not so close to Cole TBH...shoulda got a Single and a Press Run going and then Dropped it.

TDE act like they don't know how to market any other artists that don't have the Interscope Cosign/Backing...

He dropped 2 singles though lol

 

[hiphop12345]

Shit like this prove that people just hated Troy Ave and were waiting for the moment to attack.

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

Should have dropped Black Hippy after GKMC and every member could have rode the wave like every click has done in hip hop since I can remember. But homie is dead nice but his subject matter just isnt appealing. He raps about stuff most people aren't interested in.

I put this in the same category as "Jay only became huge(n/h) bcuz Big and Pac died."

None of them niggas was guaranteed to do Kendrick numbers if a BH album came out.

 

[IceBergTaylor]

It behooves me that nobody really holdin TDE management accountable for this

 

[genocidecutter]

It was still a great album though

It worked for G unit, Ruff Ryders, State Property, Hot Boys etc, drop a hot project follow it up with a click project that introduces everybody to the consumers and the rest of the artist from the click drop solo albums and reap the benifits from the initial albums success.

How much of a audience did he expect to have with a project called "do what thou wilt"?...

That's not marketable in this climate..This is not the early nineties where you can drop a rugged dark and sonically raw sounding project(a la 36 chambers) and aleast go gold...The energy is different now

The General population does not overstand the concepts in that mans music...It has a spooky cold vibe to it and the message can very much go over the average persons head..people(who are subconciously programmed by relegion) are already on the fence about supporting anything that looks like it's promoting satanism or what they think is satanism

His music is strictly for awakened Jedi (or sith) niggas who can mentally digest it's complexity

Women,generally speaking,(even tho he bigged them up) are not going to connect to abs music because he's not executing the concept in a way that's pleasing to them or their female sensibilities

He said he didn't wanna serenade them but that's exactly how you get the pussy wet,b..by serenading it and making it feel pleasant emotions

Niggas like T.I ,jeezy,gucci sell more because they infuse their music with elements that pull women and men alike..plus their message isn't as complex

man chill with all that Jedi mindtrick tomfoolery you trying to spit. That shit aint that deep his content was just boring and lame point blank

Yo bitch ass sat there and read the Jedi shit and responded to it tho..so eye guess your mind just got tricked huh?

Your opinion is your opinion..It prolly is trash to your ears..

Shrugs

this nigga think he Yoda

Right I meant with the except of Aggy lol

But it's pretty clear they don't market the artists well unless it's Kendrick or School Boy.

A common mistake that's been mentioned is the fact they didn't capitalize on GKMC & drop that Black Hippy album. It worked for 50 & G-Unit. It worked to lesser degrees for Ruff Ryders, and Rocafella. Hell even eminem dropped that D12 album shortly after his shit came out. They, at TDE, blew the opportunity at this point. Like someone mentioned, they think that all Kendrick fans are TDE fans and that's not the case.

Both Jay Rock and Ab Soul havent gotten the proper support from TDE

[tompetrez3]

This is ab soul fault. He seem like a cool dude to smoke with and got talent but he pull same stunt on social media every album release. He been doing this since 2012

Ab: waah, i have music im working on but the label wont release it. im frustrated. im depressed. im going to leak it.

top: nigga you better not or we will kill you

Ab: random emoji tweets that involves winks and tongues that 300-500 lames retweet for no reason

top: laugh emojis

people stop giving a fuck after a few hours then a few months pass

top: i have better shit to do than to interact with our hardcore fans but can you bitch ass niggas come up with the artwork, album title, release date, tracklisting, bar code number if yall dumb motherfuckers want an absoul album (yes he is that condesinding and disrespectful to yall niggas on twitter this why i dont fw TDE)

ab: me and top talked it out, we bros, all love, CARSON, Im changing the game, #blackhippy, #fanchosenalbumname, #fanchosenreleasedate buy it on itunes at a link that looks like it would give your device a virus and take your personal information.

This is his press, promotion, inspiration, value and faith in his career in a nutshell

 

[Livefromclayco]

I also think the no mixtapes shit hurt them cause Kendrick and Q the only niggas on TDE that can take long breaks without putting out music
