#BlueCollarRap
Macklemore is independent & MGK is on papers…SMFH…you mines well do ya own thing
SEaTOwn ReppERS
Labels are irrelevant tis all.
Damn was absolutely not expecting that many first week from Macklemore/RL; major props! and MGK better start digging his Bad Boy grave!!
WTF is a macklemore?????????
and damn 50k only MGK? lol
purchased my copy….best cd ive bought in years, and im not just talking about the music. If you got the deluxe edition you know what im talking about. The Heist is a work of art, definite classic in my opinion!
heard a couple tracks from macklemore. hes cool but his stuff just aint for me. congrats to him and i aint even listen to mgk’s album but congrats to that nigga too even though he flopped.
Congrats to MGK. French album is going to do Triple C’s “Custom Cars & Cycles” numbers.
who the fuck is macklemore & ryan lewis? aren’t they house music djs?
and mgk,…lmao.
Funny thing is since Ryan Lewis is the producer, they’re profiting more than people with a label
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis worked their asses off and definitely deserve this.. From the honesty in the music, the quality of the videos, to the packaging of the album, The Heist is an incredible body of work. Real music will always prevail no matter what.. Fuck a record label, congrats!
MGK only 50k? LOL This guy has had alot of PR in recent weeks and only does 50k while Macklemore has not even had half of the PR and still manage to outsell him.
MGK who said Lace Up would be his “Get Rich Or Die Trying” What a clown.
75k? I remember when the label dropped for that. I guess that’s what 2012 sub-par rappers brought us.

I may contradict myself here: But, MGK doing 50k is not bad given he’s on Bad Boy records. He’s lucky an album was released.
@ JUST MY OPINION. IF YOU THINK SUB BAR RAPPERS GET 75K THEN YOU ARE RETARDED. ONLY THE ELITE RAPPERS GOING OVER 75K FIRST WEEK NOWADAYS. UR AN IDIOT
Nobody saw this coming, props to Mack
@ kpamma I would explain myself, but your use of curse words to express yourself shows you lack the vocabulary to hold an intelligent conversation.
Woah that really shocked me..
these labels are killing these rapper’s careers, especially Interscope Records who don’t promote shit.
@ JUST MY OPINION Your whole comment is dumb because macklemore is independent so doing 75k with just him and his producer and close associates outsells someone with badboy and all of puffs money. Macklemore cant get dropped by a label because he is his label. Think before you write.
if mgk do 50k den imagine wat french bout to do
Well, he did way better than Kreayshawn and I didn’t think his name was buzzin much more than hers. But I felt the same way about Krit and Currency and they also did way better than Kreayshawn. Honestly tho, I really do believe the labels buy these records. I’ll never forget a interview with Master P, Chuck D and this chick.
This chick who use to work for one of the big labels or something like that, talked about how she would be the one to take the records to the store and she would scan each record 3 times which which would tripple the sales and she said other people who in her position was doin the same thing. I’m not good at explaining cuz honestly I’m still tryna figure out how it’s possible. lol. Here’s the link tho, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaqwvNCF384&feature=relmfu (it starts at the 1 minute mark.)
RR didn’t even post lupe’s first week numbers…
i wonder why.
I’ve literally heard one verse from Macklemore (seen a lot of promo though), but respected it off the strength. Their grind is crazy, 75K, #2 on the charts is some serious biz.
Salute to ’em, rappers need to follow their lead.
75k? I remember when the label dropped for that. I guess that
white renaissance
this type of music is ass! all wanna be shit ,i seen what they do and its a mockery to Rap and Hip-Hop when you put more time into your style then your music fuckin jump off a building 75k indie haha i guess no limit,cash money, sick wit it Records were never indie in response to spencer who thinks rapperrs should follow their lead you should never talk about music again do us all a favor
@Flyyydistrict….. Shut the fuck up….. That is all….
Wait till yol see Meek Mills numbers lol thats gon be some sad shit … i bet some of yol even 4got he dropin in 14days time …
And LMAO at Rick Ross GFID is only on 430k … nigga aint never going plat
French and Meek gotta be shaking in they boots… French more, Meek might still crack 100k got alot of peep buzzin bout him outside of rap.
Anyone actually listen to MGK’s album? It’s good. Hate is a bad lifestyle
