[DNB1]

I agree with the majority based on first listen and say this a nice album...

Track wid Pharrell was dope

 

[aneed123]

He pulled a game with that mase shit ...

He pulled a game with that mase shit ...

I saw it as a mase tribute. Who wouldn't fuck with a remix with prettyboy on it.

 

[Meta_Conscious]

Best Rap album of the year..

MNINM could have done without Future's and The-Dream's singing though..

Kanye's autotune gasping (or whatever that was) caught me way off guard, lol..

"descended from Kings, we at it again"..

Those hooks r terrible!

Pusha T's new album is projected to move 75,000-80,000 units opening week.

The projections have arrived for Pusha T's new album My Name Is My Name. Pusha estimated in a previous interview he'd do 100k, although he said he wouldn't be disappointed if he did less-- which is a good thing 'cause it looks like he won't quite reach 100,000.

Pusha T's album is on course to sell 75-80k opening week, which hopefully will get him a spot in the top 10 of the Billboard 200. Danny Brown's Old dropped the same day as Pusha, but we don't have projections for that LP yet.

On a side note, Miley Cyrus' Bangerz LP is looking like it'll sell 250-270k opening week.

[StoneColdMikey]

[DarthRozay]

Pusha T outsold big sean? damn, and Push ain't "triple his fanbase" either

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

[IceBergTaylor]

Lmaoooo nigga is about to outsell Big Sean

"EEGCKK!!"

 

[CJ]

Lol got dayum sean losing outchea

 

[CJ]

He deserves it, best rap album this year.

 

[southsil4lil]

After all that Control shit why the fuck would Big Sean drop that verse

 

[MF_Doomerville]

80k? That's what's up, pusha!!

Considering he's not a mainstream artist, that 80k are probably his loyal fans from the clipse days. Haven't copped the album yet but I will after work today to support.

 

[Already Home_17]

After all that Control shit why the fuck would Big Sean drop that verse

Cosign.. I fuck with Dope Bitch, but 40 Acres didn't have the same chemistry..

Went through it once. My initial thoughts

Love the intro, in general i love a good intro; queens gets the money, get down, or a million and one questions.

Vultures to my culture

Exploit the struggle, insult ya

They name dropping 'bout caine copping

But never been a foot soldier

Let's have another look, just get a little closer

Rage against the machine, black Zack de la Rocha

In a cranberry Rossta, inside track on the G rap poster

Best d-boy all I'm missing is a dash

Difference between me and Hova

Numbers on the board is fire, already know about that.

Ballers, I put numbers on the boards

Can't a bitch living say I bought her Michael Kors

Every car driven was decided by the horse

Keep the sticker in the window 'case you wonder what it cost

How could you relate when you ain't never been great?

And rely on rap money to keep food up on your plates, nigga?

I might sell a brick on my birthday

Thirty-six years of doing dirt like it's Earth Day, GAWD

Sweet Serenade is trash. Ross finally had a good verse that related to the song. Suicide was tight. Not feeling TheDream track, why the fuck is he imitating M-a dollar sign? Couldve done without the Who I Am.

The end is strong - Nosetalgia, Pain (still nice after what a year!), and SNITCH

the middle holds this album back from being epic. Solid debut, i want to hear another solo and another Clipse album. I don't know who advised him to bring on Chris Brown, Dream, and my home-girl Kelly for those songs. You only get one chance at a solo debut, he couldve been more nuanced different subject matters; maybe about childhood, Virginia, at least a concept song based on The Wire or him and his brother maybe going back and forth with street life vs god's path. At certain points he just rapping, punchlining over beats, and it works on some tracks but not all. The tracks in the middle dont always fit the dope boy rapping.

Sweet serenade trash?

Smh
