Tyler rappin about kissing white boys paid off his numbers r no surprise he's appealing to the buying crowd.....this is a win for meek doing 86k the 1st wk those r great numbers for a blk street rapper.... I c squares wanna compare dc4 sells wit this but there is no Nikki on w&l like dc4 so meek doing 80k+ the 1st wk being a blk street rapper is great this album has legs too go at least gold....that plat look was a 1 time thing for meek when he was wit the Barbie & the barbs & chammy/Ken dolls getting them popstar numbers...
Meeks 1st album did 165 K without streaming counting toward offical sales and this as pre nikki. Fuck outta here. Meek should have at least cleared 100K. Tyler as well has never sold well when more white people were fucking with him off the initial buzz of his crew. Since then less and less white kids been fucking with him.

This forum ain't nothing but a bunch of DJ Akademics niggaz care more about numbers then if the album hot or not..... Only bout 5 rappers doing 250k first week these days Meek not one of them but neither is 99% of other rappers why does that matter
Nobody expected meek to do 250K. However if he can't crack 100K after the momentum from DC4 that is a failure. Meeks last album sold very very well. I think it just went plat as well. But to do under 100K and get beat by tyler is an L. Now idk what the final numbers are but anything over 100K is a win for meek.
You can't brag about jays sales records in the 4:44 and then not consider sales as part of the equation of this album. Now the album is decent content wise. But how the public responds to it via sales and streams is another aspect.
Nigga FOH if he do 97k we calling it a fail over 3 extra K??? Give it a rest y'all put to much stock in it.... I gave props to Jay for having 13 #1 albums I wasn't caring about the exact number he sold shit ain't that big a deal in a era where ain't but 5 rappers that can sell big..... Anything in THIS climate 90k+ is a win for any rapper not named Jay, Drake, Kdot, Cole, or Ye and MAYBE Nicki
Meek sold 87K of DC4 when you could stream it on mixtape sites. His first album without streams did over 100K during the same week up here in the northeast niggas lost power and hurricanes flodded shit from Jersey to Massachusetts. If his official album can't clear 100K then he ain't shit. Looks like people on here saying he did high 80s.
You still bringing up old shit like the climate in album sells are the same.... Drake went from 1 mill first week to half that with More Life Jay official first week numbers where it was available every was 500k with MCHG and 270k with 444..... Albums ain't selling the same so why are you comparing his sells to a time when this ain't even the same climate??? Nigga said he ain't shit like he finna get dropped or something lol
More life was a playlist not an album. It was promoted differently and not as readily available in physical form and on other streaming sites off the rip. Hence why it sold less.
Same climate? Now you get streams and single sales and youtube shit to count toward your first week numbers. That's why Kendrick sold better first week with DAMN that he did with GKMC. Thats why Cole sold better first week in december with For Your Eyez Only than he did with his debut sideline story. That's why Big Seans last 2 albums sold better than Finally famous and Hall of Fame which didn't get stream counts.
Now i know Meek won't sale as well as those artists but he should have at least cleared 100K for this album with streaming counting. I understand meek doesn't have ken barbs buying this album like DWMTM. But if meek can't get close to his debut album numbers . The streams counting changed everything. That's why meek should have at least cleared 100K.
