    Scorpion could’ve done a milli, that had similar hype to C3/Massacre/Graduation

    Facts. And since he barely worked for or promoted CLB and got 600k I think if he ramps up the build up to the next album he could get back into the 700/800 range.

    Honestly they should lower the streaming requirement

    The biggest rapper of this generation (possibly biggest ever) not having a diamond album 13 years into his career is outrageous

    Was in high school. Bought every Kanye album day one. Still have my college dropout album.

    Do you live in Toronto or something lmao where in the world was the hype for CLB on par with Graduation/C3/Massacre

    Scorpion was a nearly perfectly executed rollout (minus losing the Pusha beef). Views as well (which actually did get the milli). CLB was not more or equally as hyped as those

    Streaming also made the chances of his older albums becoming diamond even lower.

    Bro you brought up c3 and massacre. Those albums did a mil. I said clb would do under a mil. Scorpion would do over a mil.

    What are we arguing about?

    And on par with graduation, yes. Scorpion would do 1.15 similar to Massacre.

    Yes, I have, but a lot of the stuff Yayo has been saying he has said it before. Still interesting though.

    I didn't like Game's last album. That's the only album I never go back to by him, so I don't expect much from him anymore, but I will listen for sure. Last ones I really enjoyed were Jesus Piece and Doc 2.5.

    The albums I'm really waiting for are Em, Jay and Nas. And I hope Drake will drop something better than CLB soon.

    Yeah a lot of what he saying is old and public knowledge but it’s cool to see him be more wiser. 50 should take notes.

    That last album was ass but based off the name I expect a lot of pop smoke/drill influence and drill production slap so hard anyone can sound fire on that so I got high hopes for game next album. But ima wait to hear singles/loosies before I get too excited.

    You waiting on Em!?

    Bundles were getting abused clearly, but I do think they should allow for the sales of albums to count before shipping though.

    People order physicals day 1, but they don’t count until they ship - but pressing them to be able to ship on week 1 leads to leaks which hurts sales

    It was released way before the streaming era, would it not perform better in its own market?

  • iGOAT

    Graduation sold 950k first week. CLB could have done that. Drake is a superstar.

    Tbf Ye only did that much because people wanted to see 50 retire.

    50 only did as much as he did because of the bet as well.

    Yeah I don’t see it. Scorpion would pass a milli definitely.

    All hypotheticals anyways, no way to ever actually answer this discussion lol. I don’t feel like CLB had the hype like that. The platinum first week albums were huge events that dominated pop culture and CLB just wasn’t that to me. Times change though who knows
