    What numbers do you think this album will make? 200k first week? 1 million?

    I'd say 400-500k. Doesn't seem to have a lot of promotion for it and no singles out yet.

    Idk if digital release will hurt or help his sales... It's hard to say with today's rap. I think he does over 500k.

    I'm old school, I only buy CDs. I wanna buy a physical copy of this so bad but if they aren't making them I have no choice but to bootleg.

    Vinyl I believe has a cleaner sound to it, so I am with you on that

    There is internet hype, sure, but I don't know if first week sales will be massive. There hasn't been a single track released to get people aware of this album, and there has only been a week to build whatever awareness is available.

    Once the album releases and something hits radio, it may get some legs.

    Sure, but that's still no where near enough time to maximize the hype the album deserves. I'm sure he has a reason for everything though. I think it will have great numbers in the long run, but it could be a steady stream of album sales.

    I'm ok with it. I'm just saying. If people are asking about sales, that's where my head is at on the topic.
