The Hustle.
The Kang is back on the charts. Come tomorrow, his ninth album, Paperwork will take Billboard’s bronze medal with an estimated 74,197 in first week sales. Meanwhie Logic’s debut Under Pressure, will be right underneath 4 with 71,511 units sold. Congrats to both.
wow…high or not, the KANG aint what he used to be. Sellin the same as Logic??? Rick Ross and Jeezy has surpassed him…
DefJam artist have always outsold Atlantic artist…
He could have done 1/2 of that Indy and made more money…
Tip on Columbia now tho,,, =( http://alltheparticulars.blogspot.com/
High?ok ..high ..congrats!?
Damn the music business AINT what it use to be no more no wonder why we gotta put up with the antics all year these rappers ain’t getting the record sale money checks no more they getting all their money from exploiting themselves all year round one of these rappers should be smart enough by now to have an artist under them
Like t.i is doing with iggy all these established artist should immediately put someone more marketable then themselves on instantly
no album era only singles and mixtape and tour off those and if any rapper reading this give me credit lol
Like Ross meek mill …wale. The best is lil Wayne and birman Drake nicki
What about Jay Z n Kanye?
yeah i forget that
What the fuck is a logic and why did it sell as many records as TI?
Cause you brought yourself a copy to nigga.
you been living under a rock huh. guess you don’t know about ebola either lol
You gotta applaud Logic…..TI is a WAY BIGGER artist, in terms of name recognition and the machine behind him (his label) but I be damned if Logic ain’t come within 3k in sales and almost take a higher spot. Dope shit, Hard Work pays off and it shows here!
T.I. is also 9 albums in so the newnes is gone. Let’s see where Logic is at 8 albums from now. I wish them both the best but let’s not try to compare th when situations are different.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing crazy.
Time to go indy…
It’s the era we’re in. The last lp that I brought was Pusha T’s before that it was Born Sinner. The game has changed tho. I went from downloading every joint that dropped(illegally) good or bad, to paying $10 a month for beats music. Between Beats and Spotify, there has to be millions of subscribers. And that has to be affecting sales. Streaming is what’s poppin now. They just have to figure out how to account for what’s heavily streamed weekly. I’m mean seriously, who stills buys albums?????
Album sales don’t mean anything, it’s all about how many plays you’re getting on spotify, soundcloud and youtube. What good is it if someone buys your album and listens to it once? If you want staying power, you’ve got to have fans feenin’ to listen to your music constantly.
Album sales do mean something, just ask the artists if what they sell matters to them? And don’t ask a rich artist thats been out ten years, ask a artist that needs good sales numbers in order to further his brand and career in order to establish market value… They feel like sales matter.
Lol haven’t you ever seen how much YouTube views pays?
They definitely matter to that major label tho… bring back horrible numbers and your ass will be grass or sitting on that shelf for a very long time… they don’t really matter [as much anymore] but numbers still hold weight.. *shrugs* but the everyday fan (98% of online commenters) who has nothing to do with the industry directly should not be so concerned with NUMBERS tho http://alltheparticulars.blogspot.com/
I’m always on point with the hip hop spreads, I predicted ti won’t sell over 80k first week hahahaha, I’m always winning.
good for you bro
Thank you shit turd I appreciate that.
HAPPY FOR LOGIC
album sales dont mean anythin for artists like TI but the fact that logic came up in this “album sales not meaning shit” era and did 71k shows his core is crazy and that does mean something
if your a hard working independent artist this should give you hope. And If your wondering why the new artist Logic sold so many records goto his independent label “Visionary Music Groups” Youtube page and you will see this label is doing it all organically. Sold out shows around the country, strong young college kid fanbase. yes they partnered with No I.D and Def Jam to put out his album. The kid is an example of how not chasing fame , brings you legitimate fans ……with or without radio play or a commercial single. hes 30,000 away from 100,000 records in 1 week with no promotion. gotta respect it.
^this was the Tyson blow to the body then the uppercut that follow type of comment
trrruuuuuuuuu!!!!!! 20,000 more than French when he dropped last year and he was all over the club, radio, tv w/ 10,000 features!!!!!!
Holy shit this Logic CD is fire. Could be the best cd I’ve heard in years. That’s another reason why. Bring the content and people will come runnin. Fuk this shit is good.
Logic’s album is A+
Had it on repeat since I got it!
You can honestly count the number of rappers that actually do 6 digit first week numbers on one hand smh….
im glad to see logic get the props he deserves salute to the young god keep building my g
Under pressure is definitely one of the best albums this year. I wasn’t a fan of logic before but I’m definitely a fan now.
Yeah man shit is crazy good.
I aint gonna lie i didnt even kno who the hell Logic was until last week still dont care but everyone seems to be on his dick about his album
Don’t believe the manufactured hype. It really isn’t very good
Give it a chance, the album is really good, and i mean real good. its quality, and cohesive.
what kind of loser would buy logic’s album…lmao hip hop became so backwards..
That’s fucking great for Logic
I expected more for T.I., but the album ain’t very good.
What recent album of the last year would you compare to logics in terms of quality, style? I always liked a few of his songs, will check this out for sure now. Later though. Curious of the verdict of the album.
Take the best of Kendrick and Drake and you got Logic. He’s unoriginally creative and I don’t mean that as a diss. He doesn’t hide who influences him so if you are expecting something completely new a la Chance the Rapper you not gone find it. But if you want to hear some really good raps and i do mean really good you’ll enjoy yourself
“Paperwork” is the worst of TI’s 9 albums. His catalogue is still great and he’s one of the best ever. Would be surprised if the album surpasses 300k.
In a notoriously bad year for hip-hop LP’s, Logic has the best hip-hop album of 2014. Lyricism, storytelling, cadence control and musicality. Anyone who comments on Logic without listening to the album is a dipshit.
NO way this is his worst……No Mercy was horrific……
Son logic put some numbers up…i aint a fan but shout out to him for doin his thing…
Before the end of year 50’s Animal Ambition will sell more than Officer Ricky’s, TI, and Logic’s albums. When that shit happens remember who fortold.
Hey did you hear.BOOSIE about to drop “Life after Deathrow” first mixtape since being released Today @ 2pm download for free @ dat piff..it’s ..about..to..go..dowwwnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
