    Ari went on a lil rant today, said she want out of interscope and dreamville, said they playing with her lol., mannnn, idk, I feel like dreamville need to get from under interscope, so they can thrive.. told yall something ain’t right, and cole need to promote them n----s more, idk why bruh don’t post his artists when they drop, before might delete later he was posting everything he was featured on and dreamville drops, idk what he got going now.. tbr I don’t even think that’ll help them blow or nothing, but it would show he putting in effort lol. That s--- just weird to me, it don’t take much to post s--- on IG.. I know the n----- be online and s---.

    Then on the other hand, shiddd, jay z ain’t promote cole , we ain’t see cole behind jay everywhere, cole got out here and got it on his own, and put in work , plus his s--- connected , if your music just not connecting ain’t s--- the label can do about it.. the blow up got to be organic imo lol

    Listened to new Tyler. Sticky is the worst attempt at a b-----r I’ve seen in awhile from a high profile rapper. Awful. Tyler couldn’t make an anthem or good quality hit to save his life. Hey Jane is probably the best song. Storytelling is great and it’s genuine. The rest is wack. Production is what I expected. Over produced faux artsy fake hard but really soft s---.

    Cole needs to go back to making anthems and hits. Can’t Get Enough, Middle Child, GOMD, Work Out, No Role Modelz type s---. Everyone knows he can rap his a--- off. We want that plus more hits! Hip hop needs s--- like that again. Too many fake artsy rappers out there. We need more bob your head s---.

    I think that the Fall Off will do between 150,000-200,000. I think that he fell off a little.

    Maybe.. might delete late did 115k, but then that was a mixtape, usually when rappers drop mixtapes or compilations it do lower than the actual albums.. when drake drop compilations they do way lower than his albums. Cole will probably do like 250k realistically, depending on how they promote it. looking at the times we in, and the way everybody else numbers looking, that look bout reasonable for cole in 2024/25. I don’t think he fell off, just sales fell off, and it’s hard to peep what’s what these days with the way they measuring sales. The real number to look at I think would be, the total streaming numbers, like how many times the album is going to be streamed.... Everybody gon listen to it tho, even the hating n----s, they gon be ready to hear what cole got to say, and especially ppl thinking it’s his last album.

    If cole announced an arena tour right now it would sell out in minutes.. he ain’t fell off.

    I just looked at some s---.. might delete later did 115k sps, 9k was pure sales, did like 157 million streams…

    for all the dogs did 404k sps , 10k pure sales, and like 500 million streams…

    basically the pure sales plus streams = the first week sales for albums..


    My question is , what is pure sales??? Is that CD SALES? What is that??? Ppl buying it online?

    I just looked at Tyler numbers, he did like 299k sps, 197k pure sales .. it don’t say how many times it was streamed tho.. how did he do that many pure sales??? Tyler doing more pure sales than Drake?? And Nicki Minaj??

    What did he bundle?? I feel like Travis Scott be doing that too

    so basically if cole and drake did bundles their pure sales would be up, and their numbers would appear bigger first week?? That’s what I’m saying, you can’t even look at first week sales these days, cause s--- ain’t what it seem lol

    nevermind, I just looked it up.. ppl on Reddit complaining bout the way their bundles were packaged lol.. lol like Tyler and his team just threw some s--- together, just to make the sales appear bigger lol. whole industry janky lol
