Migos Flop Watch Slated to Sell 12-14K

[janklow]

I love "Fight Night" while I'm at the club but alot of niggas never heard it.

sounds like a lot of people ought to be ashamed of themselves

 

[SheerExcellence]

I don't pay attention to albums sales but if meek mill and Joey badass and others are outselling migos and rich homie and future then I can't understand for the life of me why radio doesnt play badass. The whole rationale ebro has is invalidated if joey outsells them

Joey has a stronger fanbase whereas more people would rather listen to Migos music but aren't really fanatics.

Ie A random person driving in their car would likely keep their radio on the same station if they hear a song they like... doesn't mean they'll necessary but the song or album

But how can ebro be sure they won't listen to a joey badass song, esp if he has strong fanbase and sells more

That's my entire point. They can't. Or rather, they can but...

If they go by numbers, then Meek Mill should be getting more airplay than Future, and not just with this album.

Joey Badass and Lupe should be getting more airplay then than Rae Sremmurd and waaaayy more than Migos or any of these other fly by night niggas.

My argument is, there are no numbers here to support radio constantly force feeding niggas this wack shit. Its absolutely ridiculous.

You mean to tell me niggas like Joey Bada$$ is out here outselling Migos 5 to 1, beating Rae Sremmurd as well first week with all their commercial exposure from Hot and every other radio station in the country; every dingy ass club... and the young nigga can't get some spins on primetime? Where is the validation for this? Future out here dominating airwaves and clubs as we speak with about 3 joints floating around, but another nigga has outsold him by a factor of 70% and isn't getting that burn.

If Migos couldn't make those numbers, then there is no way in hell Rich Homie is going to breach, and Young Thug also pretty much flopped first week (18k). But I can't turn on the fuckin radio without these niggas floodin' my shit. Why dawg? There are other niggas who are selling more, and touring just as much with large crowds. The numbers seem to imply that nobody wants to hear that shallow shit. Or at the very least, imply that they want to hear the other niggas more.

a lot of people wanna hear shallow shit, they just don't wanna pay for it. the music you pay for is the music you're actually gonna be listening to outside of the club/parties/radio on your own time. i wouldn't pay for a migos album, but i respect their place in hip hop. strippers are not about to gyrate their asses to some boombap song about racial inequality, but some of them might chill at the house, and listen to erykah badu on their days off... it's a time and place for everything.

That don't explain why these nig nogs are still in heavy rotation on the radio, fam.

It looks like Joey Bad's fans are putting up the dollas, so why isn't the radio catering to them instead of these nigga's with throwaway singles?

And fuck the strippers, daaawg. Fuck that entire scene. On God.

You clearly don't like the "Atlanta Sound"....get used to it nigga. It aint going anywhere lol @sr_the_freshman

You right cuz they flopped; ain't going nowhere but collecting dust on Best Buy shelves.

Maybe...but they will always get more airplay than your eastcoast rappers. The south has been running the airwaves for a long time now. Why you think the other regions of the country have taken notice and sound like Southern artists now. For better or worse, it is what it is.

And btw, Migos are not even good rappers. Thats why they sold what they sold. Future, and some of these other niggas are a better meter for the region. The south has there fun rappers (Rae Shrummard), trap rappers (Gucci, Future), lyricists (Wayne, Luda, 3000, Big Boi, etc, and others (Thug?, RHQ). The one thing that separates us from Joey and some other East Coast rappers would be the production is typically better with better beats/hooks. Better production = more airplay.

Shoutout to the West Coast tho...they are really on the comeup. Full speed at that

@ bolded, they shouldn't because they aren't selling as much and that's a fact. They aren't touring more either. Italicized is your opinion. No numbers support that shit; straight up.

Folks wanna hear ridding music on the radio

They want hits not Lupe and Joey

Radio has never been abt playing who sells the most

They play hits Lupe and Joey have a loyal fan base but they don't make hits

This is patently false. Go from the dawn of radio in the fifties up until today and look @ groups/artists played the most and there is correlation to album sales. Sometimes you have a simple one hit wonder like chubby checker "twist", but for the most part those are anomolies.

There was/is always a place for joey badass and lupe on the radio. Radio is not synonymous with partying/clubbing. Anyway, I dont mean to get too far into this other than to reiterate my initial point. If these dudes aren't selling, they shouldn't be getting all the play while badass gets none. Do you disagree with this?

No disrespect at all to the south, I like futures ds2...haven't heard migos yet, but im sure there will be some joints I play in the gym....but come on bruh....the same 4 future songs play on radio every hour and badass doesn't get play at all? I don't simply man future played more...I mean joey never played at all?

 

[murdap]

All the south music dont sound the same thats all that east coast mumbo jumbo sound the same. Does new york even have any good beat makers or producers. 2005+ East coast beasts been weak like 7 days

 

[P. Town]

East vs South debate brewing...

Nah not this time. Fetty Wap is the king of the radio right now and none of the "Big 3" (Drake, J Cole, Kendrick Lamar) are from the East Coast.

 

[murdap]

East vs South debate brewing...

Nah not this time. Fetty Wap is the king of the radio right now.

Glad that wack music coming from a east coast rapper. His style is like a down south rapper but he aint got the swag or terminology of a south rapper.

 

[numbaz...80's baby]

Truthfully I'm not a fan. I know somebody in their camp. I never followed them at all really. I will say this though....for them to have a few records as big as they are, 14k copies has to fall on piss poor management and label marketing. I mean, I'm not saying they should be platinum. I'm not even they should've went half of gold. But dam....14k, a lot of that has to do with the label. I didn't know they had an album out.

 

[blackamerica]

I like Migos, especially when I'm at the ratchet after hour strip club up to absolutely no good. But there's a place for everything, and I think there's too much going on in the world right now to not have any social commentary in your music. These young ppl are waking up. That's why they connect more with Cole, Kendrick etc...These dude are in touch with what's going on

Hold up time out I forgot Lupe and Badass do get play so do Big Krit and other artist we don't hear on 97.9 and etc

They all get play on Satellite Radio like I said before Satellite is waaaay better than regular radio

So by this logic niggas wanted to hear about "Same Love" by Macklemore huh? Or it could be the powers that be pushes whatever they want? Because if they started playing Lupe or Joey a 100 times a day what would be the difference?

 

[a_list]

Has to be a lot more to it....Radio has always played the popular shyt, going by singles and album sales....This shyt aint adding up, Ebro should have a lot to explain, especially after that majors vs minors shyt

Nobody in hip hop took her seriously they tried making her the girl version of Eminem

Only one problem she can't spit worth a shit

An ilovemakanon or whatever is just another lil B he'll neva be taken seriously

But how can ebro be sure they won't listen to a joey badass song, esp if he has strong fanbase and sells more

That's my entire point. They can't. Or rather, they can but...

If they go by numbers, then Meek Mill should be getting more airplay than Future, and not just with this album.

Joey Badass and Lupe should be getting more airplay then than Rae Sremmurd and waaaayy more than Migos or any of these other fly by night niggas.

My argument is, there are no numbers here to support radio constantly force feeding niggas this wack shit. Its absolutely ridiculous.

You mean to tell me niggas like Joey Bada$$ is out here outselling Migos 5 to 1, beating Rae Sremmurd as well first week with all their commercial exposure from Hot and every other radio station in the country; every dingy ass club... and the young nigga can't get some spins on primetime? Where is the validation for this? Future out here dominating airwaves and clubs as we speak with about 3 joints floating around, but another nigga has outsold him by a factor of 70% and isn't getting that burn.

If Migos couldn't make those numbers, then there is no way in hell Rich Homie is going to breach, and Young Thug also pretty much flopped first week (18k). But I can't turn on the fuckin radio without these niggas floodin' my shit. Why dawg? There are other niggas who are selling more, and touring just as much with large crowds. The numbers seem to imply that nobody wants to hear that shallow shit. Or at the very least, imply that they want to hear the other niggas more.

a lot of people wanna hear shallow shit, they just don't wanna pay for it. the music you pay for is the music you're actually gonna be listening to outside of the club/parties/radio on your own time. i wouldn't pay for a migos album, but i respect their place in hip hop. strippers are not about to gyrate their asses to some boombap song about racial inequality, but some of them might chill at the house, and listen to erykah badu on their days off... it's a time and place for everything.

That don't explain why these nig nogs are still in heavy rotation on the radio, fam.

It looks like Joey Bad's fans are putting up the dollas, so why isn't the radio catering to them instead of these nigga's with throwaway singles?

And fuck the strippers, daaawg. Fuck that entire scene. On God.

You clearly don't like the "Atlanta Sound"....get used to it nigga. It aint going anywhere lol @sr_the_freshman

You right cuz they flopped; ain't going nowhere but collecting dust on Best Buy shelves.

Maybe...but they will always get more airplay than your eastcoast rappers. The south has been running the airwaves for a long time now. Why you think the other regions of the country have taken notice and sound like Southern artists now. For better or worse, it is what it is.

And btw, Migos are not even good rappers. Thats why they sold what they sold. Future, and some of these other niggas are a better meter for the region. The south has there fun rappers (Rae Shrummard), trap rappers (Gucci, Future), lyricists (Wayne, Luda, 3000, Big Boi, etc, and others (Thug?, RHQ). The one thing that separates us from Joey and some other East Coast rappers would be the production is typically better with better beats/hooks. Better production = more airplay.

Shoutout to the West Coast tho...they are really on the comeup. Full speed at that

@ bolded, they shouldn't because they aren't selling as much and that's a fact. They aren't touring more either. Italicized is your opinion. No numbers support that shit; straight up.

Folks wanna hear ridding music on the radio

They want hits not Lupe and Joey

Radio has never been abt playing who sells the most

They play hits Lupe and Joey have a loyal fan base but they don't make hits

So by this logic niggas wanted to hear about "Same Love" by Macklemore huh? Or it could be the powers that be pushes whatever they want? Because if they started playing Lupe or Joey a 100 times a day what would be the difference?

The difference would be radio caters to Mainstream Fanbase not Hip Hop Heads

Is it that hard to get

Do not move the goal post. You said niggas rather hear Migos than Joey or Lupe that's why the radio play them. By your logic niggas wanted to hear shit like Iggy too right?

Not tru cause iggy ain't mainstream and u know it

Nobody in hip hop took her seriously they tried making her the girl version of Eminem

Only one problem she can't spit worth a shit

An ilovemakanon or whatever is just another lil B he'll neva be taken seriously

She had one of the biggest hits last year how is she not mainstream? You're once again moving the goal posts. So if I had ultimate control and decided that every urban station must play Joey and Lupe once an hour for 3 months, what's the difference? Because that's exactly what happens they force feed Migos and those type of rappers regardless of whether anyone actually WANTS TO HEAR that shit or not. So why not play the shit that actually sells, like Joey, Lupe, Kendrick etc?

I don't pay attention to albums sales but if meek mill and Joey badass and others are outselling migos and rich homie and future then I can't understand for the life of me why radio doesnt play badass. The whole rationale ebro has is invalidated if joey outsells them

If going by pure sales, Macklemore, Iggy, and Eminem should own the radio.

They actually play a decent amount of K.Dot on the radio. Niggas just don't want to hear Joey or Brooklyn Zombies or niggas like that on the radio. I can guarantee if the radio stations received enough requests, the data would start compiling that people want to hear your fav artists and they would get more playtime. Instead of crying about it till your face turns blue, call your local radio stations and get all of your buddies to call 100 times a day and request that your artist gets played lol.

I can tell you this, people in Texas/Atlanta/Arkansas, we like Lupe but aren't fucking with Joey lol.

Exactly...the radio caters to whats hot and what people want to listen to at the moment. And right now, majority of people don't really care to listen to a lot of that conscious rap. That era is over. Being a hip hop head, I can understand nigga's frustrations but I like the state of rap myself, IMO.

Hot97 don't play Kendrick like that. Not compared to Fetty Wap or Future right now. However if radio stations started to force feed Joey's music like they do Migos or Iggy, what's the difference? They play Migos regardless of whether people want to hear it or not. See what I'm saying?

 

[sr_the_freshman]

Do ya'll niggas not understand that "-whats hot" is dictated by what's selling?

Joey Bada$$ sold 58k his first week. Iggy sold 52k and was nominated for a fuckin' grammy and owned radio last year with that garbage.

Let that shit sink in niggas.

 

[kingblaze84]

Migos, 9-Trey Diplomats, G-Unit, Bone Thugs N Harmony, 3-6 Mafia, D12, Mobb Deep, UGK are lyricists that are organic

Slaughterhourse, Wu Tang, Black Hippy lyricisim sounds forced and robotic not natural

Wow, you really said Wu-Tang doesn't sound natural lol......smh

Hot in NY or nationwide is this Joey Badass character? lol

A lot of people out here have never and will never hear of him lol. And being hot doesn't always equate to album sales. When Future came out with Pluto and DS1 (around the time of Tony Montana and Same Damn Time) he was hot at the moment but didn't have strong sales. But I guarantee he will sell out your venue. Migos aren't hot, never will be lol....they just make good party music, like Travis Porter and some others.
