Migos Flop Watch Slated to Sell 12-14K

White privilege

Migos doin' Troy Ave numbers? Im seriously having a hard time wrapping my head around this.

Do niggas need to start reevaluating this whole club / radio hits = record sales mentality? Did Future just make it hard to eat for the other trap niggas? Even if that's the case, I would have expected DS2 to outsell Meek's drop considering the catchy tunes he has in comparison, but Meek outsold the nigga by over 100 thousand units first week. I honestly don't get it. These niggas who are dominating radio aren't necessarily selling records.

Trash ain't hot in the streets

They don't even have a buzz

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

they hot in the streets/clubs but outside of versace never been hot on the charts

 

[Melqart]

This is what happens when you don't drop shit when you have momentum.

Should've dropped around the time versace came out.

[5th Letter]

If a white guy who raps as a joke can sell double of what an established group can sell, then yes

Who the hell is Lil Dicky?

Wow..

That's Troy Ave Numbers, Migos more popular than Troy Ave.

Joey Badass first album "B4.Da.$$" sold almost 55,000 first week without a chart topping single..

@sr_the_freshman you may be on to something..

 

[not_osirus_jenkins]

Make mixtapes and eat off the tour money. Why niggas gotta make shit difficult?

 

[murdap]

If the other member wouldve been out of jail group would have done descent numbers. 12k is out the back of the trunk at the flea market numbers.

 

[shtoopid]

a lot of us live in a bubble. if you're in the hood all the time, hang out with hip hop heads, frequent hip hop clubs and post on the ic all day, it's easy to lose track of what is actually doing numbers on the charts, and what's just popping in the streets. migos is not actually that famous outside of hip hop. most white people would have a hard time trying to name 4 of their songs, or any one of their projects. to them, migos = background music at the club... hell i know people that heard versace and thought "who the heck are these people messing up drake's song?"

doesn't matter how many niggas slap something in the wip, or at whatever spots you happen to frequent. if mainstream america isn't listening to an album, it's not gonna sell, period. i've never heard a one direction song in my life, and neither have 90% of the people i hang out with, but they're going platinum plus in like, 5 different countries every time they drop. that's why i laugh anytime somebody says "nobody listen to (insert artist) in the hood" as if their hood = the music industry as a whole.

They waited too long to drop the album and I don't understand these artist dropping they albums on Friday now. The album was disappointing either way. The label had them singing about love with Chris Brown on it, sounded force. Back to selling dope on mixtapes fellas, ya'll was eating off that.

 

[Stiff]

The trap music audience don't go on iTunes or go to bestbuy to buy albums ... only way you can sell records with that sound is if you got some kinda angle that pulls in the hoodrats

But I doubt they were expecting to do any real numbers anyway...it was all indie...they'll be able to eat off tours because of this for a lil while now tho

People that listen to Migos and Future like that don't buy albums. I'm not a fan of Future, but I listen to DS2 pretty regularly. But it's not something I would rush to spend money on. And although the album is eh, I do like Migos. I ain't buying that album though. RNT and NL2 are enough to suffice me.

So yeah, despite the machine pushing bullshit down our throats, niggas still ain't gonna spend money on it. Microwave/fast food rap is what it is and has it's place. It just doesn't have a place doing numbers on the charts. And even though Meek has a cool album, he's actually kind of an outlier here. His BET performance and relationship with Nicki came at opportune moments.

Meanwhile, Kendrick and Cole are making music that matters, topping the charts, making appearances all over the place and selling out MSG... These new niggas should really be paying attention.

I haven't heard the album but I knew it wasn't going to sound like Rich Nigga Timeline because they had cheesy chorus singing Chris Brown on it. I missed the days, where an artist will put a no name random singer singing a hook to a song. Now, it seem like Chris Brown is the go to dude. Migos my niccas but naw, I can't rock with this shxt
