Good shit. Great album…
Damn, Taylor did 1.2?! Props to K. Dot though.
this shit will go gold by the end of the year
Still not classic, dope though, can’t really bump in my car
Congrats to Kendrick Lamar.
Kendrick Lamar Debut >>>>>> J Cole Debut
ha !
Guess white people gettin tired of urban music cause the only people selling big numbers are cats like Mumford and Sons, Taylor Swift…
damn Kdot sold more than Cole. I was expecting him to do 175-200k. WOW really impressed
Congrats to the kid. Really DELIVERED on his debut!!! Proud to see him success.
#HiiiPower
Damn Kendrick…. You Lost Too Taylor Swift….? That Remind Me Of Laughterhouse… When They Lost To Toby Mac!!!!!
SHOUT OUT TO SHYNE.
Hard to beat taylor with all them young white folks. props to kendrick tho, met the expectations
^^^^ Dumbass nigga comparing HipHop to other genres sales! “You too infatuated with the numbers. Which makes it easier to divide and conquer!”
SMH… FUCK taylor swift bitch ass. good thing kanye fucked her moment up. hiphop aint 1million because of her. i digress..
this just shows that white people support the artist they love instead black people are cheap as hell.. i bought my copy of GKMC weres yours?
@Damn!!!!
Congrants Kendrick! You set the bar too high for Meek Mill. Shit you outsold his boss Rozay and Wale. Ha!
Dr. Dre sure cashed out on a lot of Kendrick Albums
Nice jab thrown Shyne’s way tho!
Tech N9ne>>>>>>>>kendrick lamar
Thats dope
Numbers help, BUT QUALITY music last FOREVER. AND this is QUALITY music. Congrats, K.DOT.
The Shyne line lol S.O to my ninja Kendrick Lamar. West Coast King
Taylor’s album is dope too, she deserves it, she writes her own hits. Kendrick u deserve it too. Great album. If u like other genres of music, go get Mumford & Sons album
Congrats to Kendrick. The album was incredible and one of the best ive heard in a while. I wasnt expecting him to sell nearly this much but when the music is as good as this, people tend to actually go out and buy. GKMC is the album of the year with Life is Good in second. Also shout out to Taylor Swift. 1.2 million though? thats crazy.
Relapse >>>>>>>>>>> good kid, m.A.A.d city
#WHITEPOWER
Wow I thought he’d do good #s but I didn’t think he do 240K and outsell Ross’ first week for GFID. Congrats to KDot, he deserves it!
where can i view the full list of the sales does anyone know?
THAT IS GREAT AND FOR A NEW ARTIST WITH HIS FIRST ALBUM LOL I BET OFFICER RICKY CANT BELIEVE IT
THANK GOD HE DIDNT OUTSELL ROZAY FIRST WEEK…THAT WOULDVE BEEN EMBARRASING FOR MTV’S HOTTEST RAPPER IN THE GAME
@Stoner Logic is at it again. Making dumb fuckin comments. Your CD player must not work in your car or something bruh
If I’m not mistaken, K. Dot has the highest 1st week sales of any hip hop artist this year…. A huge accomplishment especially at the fact it’s not full of “radio” singles and “hit” records… it’s a story from front to back, album of substance and still held it’s own…. GREAT FOR HIP HOP…. as far as Taylor’s sales…. bound to happen!
Solid album… Thumbs up
@Mark Byrd
HE DID NOT OUTSELL RICKY ROZAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wtf ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
Nicki Minaj had a higher first week I think
Nice numbers, apparently 212k people didnt let hip hop die on October 22nd. I got my copy.
Now lets see if meek mill will do good #s.
At least if it doesn’t do well they can blame that bitch, Sandy.
*242k
Taylor Swift will always sell no matter what. Awesome job K. Dot.
@good boy swag
lil boy please stop
NOBODY TALKING BOUT THIS TRACK THOUGH?!?!?!
Few months ago I didn’t expect him to do this well but as I heard the album, and as it came closer to album time, I expected him to do close to Coles numbers. Didn’t expect him to top Cole but I gotta give him credit for topping Cole sales and quality wise cuz GKMC is an amazing album, and the type of quality I expected from Coles debut ( although I still enjoy his album).
GKMC shows that ppl still buy hip hop without the lead pop single. Just put the album out and trust ur fan base. I honestly expected under 100k from Kendrick months ago and I’m glad he did this well.
Now, I also expect Meek to do well.
I’ll give Meek Wales first week numbers as a over/under. Anywhere over that won’t surprise me (unless its past 250k).
THIS IS GREAT NEWS FOR HIP HOP AND NEEDS TO BE MOVED TO THE NO 1 SPOT FOOL
YO THIS INTRO REMIND ME OF SOME PAC SHIT
“I pray to God this beat is good enough for Shyne. If not J.Cole your shit is trash.”
Also this song is fire! soo ready for this cole and kendrick collabo.
Pressure on Meek!!! Still better than any Ross first week sales
shout out to taylor swift she is hot and sexy and rich
Poor Weak Mill, he aint gettin anywhere near K.Dot numbers… even his boss didnt do K.Dot numbers.
is the label that taylor swift is on actually called “big machine” or is that just a joke?
[…] the news of his first week numbers out the way (242,122), Kendrick moves straight back in the studio with […]
only one rapper could top Taylor and that EM, people saying he ‘lost’ to talylor and delusional!
Good for K-Dot, I bought a copy.
Congrats to my G kendrick a great trail blazer! Hiphop Is a live and well!
Lol Taylor Swift does a Millie first week ever album
@ IamRealTalk actually he did… Ross did 215 first week sir
GKMC > D&NM
Lol how you gonna say damn you Taylor, like Kendrick was going to push more than that even if she didn’t drop same day? C’mon son….
DO DO DO DO DO..kdot got the best gunshots in the game(yak yak yak)
@1980, LMAO, them gunshots soundbites funny as hell. Wat kinda gun fires n sounds like that?
Shoutout to Kendrick Lamar on the sales. But unless Nicki Minaj is no longer considered RAP she will currently have the highest first week sales for a rap album this year with 254,000 with Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. I kinda feel bad for Meek Mill though because I doubt is album will pass 150K for some reason. I guess we’ll see.
Should be the top selling first week rap album of the year, after all it is the best rap album of the last 2 years.
Coongrats to K. Dot show people still care about REAL music. Damn Taylor Swift just sold 1.2 Mill first week in 2012 record sales climate you gotta give her props. Taylor just did that with ease while Nicki Minaj tries all the gimmicks and still can’t go gold first week. But the most impressive is Mumford & Sons them motherfuckers did over 600K first week INDEPENDENTLY…
Lmao @1980
Why is hip-hop the most popular genre of music but fans don’t buy the music? I remember when a label would drop a artist for selling under gold. I’m Taylor Swift never has to worry about her shit getting leak her fans will still go out and support. What the fuck happened?
Personally, I’m glad Hip Hop ain’t selling like that, maybe now niggas will stop worrying about it and start making music they want instead of shit they think is gonna move.
242K people bout the album but 2 Million motherfuckers bumpin that shit. Congrats!
That bitch Sherane bought all Taylor Swift albums.. YaBish!

hilarity
Album ain’t dropped in Belize yet but when it do I copping 5 copies. I love the beats on the album, clearly a classic.
@M.T Besides country buts it pretty fucking huge. Its hard to go anywhere in the U.S and not hear hip-hop.
shyne aint about shit 50 bodied him with one phone call went he went mel gibson on his ass
^ Shyne Po sold 158K first week from a jail cell, so what you saying nigga?
Lol @ Shyne
IAmRealTalk shut your mouth before I lube this back hand up and shove it up your candy ass until you can’t shit for months!
what is this white people black people crap, i bet these are the people who are calling everybody else racist
album of the year congrats kdot
proud to say i bought 2
I think fans arent’ as critical in other genres. We sit here and comment on ppl’s clothes, complain about every little thing while other genre’s of music don’t really fill the comment sections of Taylor Swift or Mumford, they just support who they like and feel no need to fight about it with anybody else. Support your artist and be proud of it, simple as that. You can kop weed, jordans but can’t buy a cd?
Well earned n more 2 come
^^ COSIGN
#’s and quality music. What more ya want from the nigga? Cole should just produce K.Dots whole next album.
TAYLOR SWIFT WON
grrrr id fuckin bend taylor swift over and give her that swift dick
Taylor Swift doin Weezy numbers
This is Taylor Swift 2nd time selling over 1 Million in a week. Hip-Hop can keep out. Black people don’t buy music there too busy buying $200 beat by dre head phones like there something special. Why can’t BLACK PEOPLE buy music. Is it really that much to spend $10 on a album? But you spend well over $100 on weed weekly. BLACK PEOPLE killd urban music industry.

this album is dipe shit, album of the year is life is good though, kendrick is the west coat future tho and he on the rise to detrown game as comptons king
gkmc is a fucken classic period!
Holy shit she did 1.2!!??
Great job K.Dot, if you had the same support as Taylor’s fanbase, you would be hitting at least 500,000 easy but white people do support their fav artists, we just gotta do the same.
But not taking away from the quality of the music on the album, because it’s great no matter
how many albums K.Dot sold.
Yup a big congrats to Kendrick definitely do deserve it I bought 2 copies 2 support that album is well worth it
