Here is the thing, his social media numbers when revealing the track list were huge. Interest dwindled after the album dropped

When you look at numbers and see the last album alone did 700 plus first week then yeah this albums numbers are bad but when you realize how much streaming has effected album sales and how music has changed when it comes to sound and the people who listen to it it’s really not that bad. People just love to s--- all over him if he would’ve put this album out pre Apple Music and it did these numbers then yeah you could take it how some of you are looking at it like.

Seriously. People don’t realize how many people have joined Spotify and Apple Music in the last four years. Don’t get me wrong. Four years ago this still would’ve only done 400-500k due to the s-----y promotion. But it’s affected sales dramatically.

Am I a Stan for liking Remind Me? I can’t help it. It’s catchy af and I love his flow on it.

If you remove the rock songs and featured hook songs which Em prob had the tracks preselected for him the solo hip hop songs are solid to great, we need a solo hip hop album from him

1. Believe
2. Untouchable
3. Framed
4. Offended
5. In My Head
6. Castle
7. Arose

That would be the tracklist if he only used his solo nonrock or featured hook songs

If he saved "Fine Line", "All I Think About" or "Vegas" or any of those Royce features and a few other tracks from his after MMLP2 into those 7 tracks I think the album would have more of the sound people would respect more

Crazy that MMLP2 did 700K.

Probs cause it was promoted great though.

‘Return home, one last time...’ very misleading lmao.

i really do enjoy the album but to make the album a little bit better while being realistic i would have had it something like this

- walk on water and believe are fine, perfect introduction

- river was hard to place but it should be on the main disc so this was my take

- i made the connection between offended and untouchable because offendeds hook is so playground childish and the first two verses of untouchable sound naggy and sorta has the same playground "teasing" vibe (black boy black boy we dont like the sight of you)

- untouchable felt like it needed to be later in the album, and makes sense before the revival interlude followed by like home because we dont need the two political songs spread far enough where ones comes up when you thought you were done, think its better to pair them

- framed (relapse) should definitely go before tragic endings (recovery), then i think bad husband makes perfect sense after the destruction of tragic endings

- need me makes sense after bad husband, and i thought about it going on the bonus disc but with heat and remind me gone from the main album i dont think the extra girl song will drag the album down

- in your head, castle, and arose are the perfect outro, nothing to change there

01.) Walk On Water (ft. Beyonce)
02.) Believe
03.) River (ft. Ed Sheeran)
04.) Offended
05.) Untouchable
06.) Revival (Interlude)
07.) Like Home (ft. Alicia Keys)
08.) Framed
09.) Tragic Endings (ft. Skylar Grey)
10.) Bad Husband (ft. X Ambassadors)
11.) Need Me (ft. Pink)
12.) In Your Head
13.) Castle
14.) Arose

Bonus tracks:

15.) Remind Me (intro and song in one)
16.) Chloraseptic (ft. Phresher)
17.) Heat
18.) Nowhere Fast (ft. Kehlani)

- we dont need mmlp2 leftovers on the album, heat and remind me are fine as bonus tracks

- chloraseptics a good song after believe but it strikes me as bonus (?)

- nowhere fast was destined to be a bonus track, its just beautiful pain

was gonna do this eventually and there isnt that much i dislike about the album, im actually pretty happy with what i got so whatcha thinkkk

I don't know much of anything about streaming. I don't even know all the streaming sites.Someone needs to do a breakdown of the numbers and s--- in a thread to see if he really fell off commercially. I heard 1500 streams is one sale? Where do they get that s--- from? Streaming should be a separate entity anyway. The streaming to sales conversion seems very arbitrary.

More examples of someone knowing nothing about hip-hop and judging it.

 

Dec 19, 2017

I really don’t know how it works much either honestly all I know is it’s not good for sales

 

Dec 19, 2017

I really could’ve done without Heat and Need Me. I don’t hate them or anything but they just don’t do much for me and the album would actually benefit from being shorter.

They lowered it another time for those who care

Tbh the melon's review of revival was pretty s--- and not something to take seriously.

 

Dec 19, 2017

I seen this gif of him with hair in school clapping or some s--- ever since then I haven’t been able to take a thing he says serious lol that’s the first thing that comes to mind when I think of him. That or when people mixed him up with a r--ist or shooter or some s--- and he got all sad lol.
