Nice drop

 

[shareef242]

They shoulda performed In Between Us and Favor for a Favor.

Damn gold is looking bleek right now. A little more than half way there. Hopefully Bye Baby and Cherry Wine videos give it a push.

It will be certified Gold by the end of the year or sometime in January. It will not soundscan Gold just like Untitled didnt. I believe Untitled has only Soundscan in the 470k range but it was certified Gold by the RIAA about 350k soundscan.

It will crawl to Gold, sadly NaS just isn't getting the airplay to push is album to the masses. I will say this, this is the most singles and videos NaS has done for an album. Normally he releases 2, 3 singles at the most, he's past 4 now with "Cherrywine" about to drop too. So he's promoting hard but again NaS doesn't put out those pop singles like that. Like Hrap and somebody else said, there needs to be a new category, "Adult Contemporary Hip Hop" cause that's what NaS and a few other emcees are now. Look at 2 Chains, he has pop songs all over radio and he's not even doing must better than NaS who isn't getting that airplay. Ross also isn't doing that great the hype and promo he had. Hip Hop sales in general are Awful right now.

That's the thing too. The radio plays the same shit all the time and these cats don't even sell a bunch of records. It wouldn't hurt to play a couple of other artists on the radio.

Honestly if I didn't look at sales you'd think tyga went plat and j cole. They play the same damn songs over and over again it's a shame.

RIAA website still has it just at Gold which is funny because I remember it Soundscan in the somewhere in the 800k range. Street Disciple Soundscan in the 750k range but it certified Platinum.

[VulcanRaven]

Can't get past the first 3 songs without falling asleep. Bout to delete it off my iPod.

 

[GeE-757]

I hear you fam but these younger generation of emcees think that sales be everythin even when they music is garbage. all im sayin is these new cats shouldnt even be mentioned anywhere near Nas, that in itself is a disgrace and sacrilegous. Nas jus cemented that GOAT spot with his latest release meanwhile these new cats from the south are gon be extinct after 2 years. we as fans should chastise any rapper that crafts fast food music (garbage), they should be called out whether they got the streets on lock or not..... Hiphop is on its deathbed and these dudes from the south contributed heavily.

I HEAR YA BUT DA SELLZ TALK START;D WHEN A NY POSTER CAME N HERR TRYNA DOWN PLAY ROSS & 2CHAINZ SUCCESS! & HIPHOP IS DEAD WHEN WE GOT BLK RAPPERZ SCARED 2 DISS A CRACKA RAPPER CUZ THEY DONT WANNA LOSE THEY WHITE FANBASE!
