The album had 19 songs and more than a handful of slappers on it that should have easily carried it to a 350-400k debut, especially because it was his first album in 5 years and has a s*** ton of hype going into its release.
I just don't like when goalposts start getting moved, that's all lol.

Same person that called Mr. Morale a flop for doing 295K, but $$$4U a success for doing 250K
This tweet sums up why the Metro project is not a flop:
Anyone that expected this mixtape to do over 50K first week is a complete idiot
Regarding Metro
A producer’s album is only going to be as hot as the features it has.
Prime Quincy Jones wouldn’t be able to deliver a platinum album if it was just album of instrumentals.
Casual listeners may know OF the ppl making the beats. But they don’t give af about the guy making the beats. Especially in 2025. They care if the mainstream rappers on the beat.
I suppose that you could argue he could have gotten a hotter song out of who he had feature. But an album that don’t doesn’t have hit singles with current day hot artists isn’t gonna sell like that
A producer’s album is only going to be as hot as the features it has.
Thank you. I don’t care who you are, if you’re a producer, you are not moving major units unless the features on said project are major. If Metro dropped a completely instrumental album right now, that s*** would not clear 10K units first week. That’s just how it is.
Drake stans when they find out that producer rap albums (Not DJ Khaled albums) don't sell for s*** first week:

Gotta be at least half rational though cmon
Might as well say $uicideboy$ r winning because Drake attended their show in Toronto if you want to make everything about that
then maybe the thread shouldn’t have been made by a drake stan looking to beef with Kendrick stans 3 years ago…
Drake stans when they find out that producer rap albums (Not DJ Khaled albums) don't sell for s*** first week:

If anyone in this thread can name me three producer mixtapes that cleared 30K first week, I will shut up forever
Not even three, just name two
Idk you crashed out over a song with a central cee verse
I’m just tired of talking to idiots
Before anyone in here thinks I’m coping, I have no problem admitting when an artist I like flops. Many of my favorite artists this year flopped. Weeknd, Travis, Tyler, etc.
This Metro mixtape is not a flop
B**** I just said DOWNLOADS
THOSE AWARDS COME FROM DOWNLOADS
YOU TALKING SPICY B**** I WAS ON UR SIDE U DOT GURGLING DUMBASS
Niggas shut tf up when daddy step in the thread

How much would DLDT have sold? Because KTT created +10 threads about Kenny Chesney outselling DLDT (by bundling his album with tour tickets)

Context: Drake has numerous mixtapes that have cleared 375K+ first week (two that cleared 500K+)
Drake is one of the best-selling artists in the history of the music industry. He should absolutely be held to a different commercial standard than any of his peers. I don’t get what is so hard to understand about that.
If Taylor Swift dropped an album tomorrow that did 200K first week, it would be seen as an egregious failure

I am sorry to hear that opening up KTT2 and searching ''Chesney'' takes more than 20 minutes for you. It does explain a lot however. It did not take me more than 1 minute.
Cute attempt at deflecting from the fact that you were there 5 years ago typing the same bollocks you are typing today.

You've made fun of users on here doing the exact same thing.
In fact, they will bring up a point about you contradicting yourself with a screenshot of one of your old posts and instead of defending your point, you will target the user for posting something from the past.

No, they were searching for specific posts in threads with many, many pages. I linked two random threads I found by searching after ''Chesney''. 1 minute.
