jeeeez

Well he did sell Ye and KSG on physicals back in 2018.

Ye, Donda and KSG available on compact disc and vinyl out now

Disagree tbh I think since the Yeezy brand is so strong and people want it, it could be executed in a tasteful apple type way

Nerd

Selling CDs and Vinyls will never “not count” no matter how much a certain community pushes for that narrative. It’s the merch bundles and 17 digital remixes that are an L.

i remember as a fan rooting for kanye when he dropped donda and despite having such an event album, he still did so much to effectively put a ceiling on its success lmao

• dropping late, days into the tracking week
• i don’t think he has any merch
• pretty sure he had no CDs or vinyls for sale, and there isn’t a cover so that automatically makes the physical less valuable
• not listing features

as a fan i remember being like damn bruh we all wanna see you get a big win, can you try?

Dawg, nobody cares about what Kanye West says or does outside of the moment he says or does it, and that Yeezy day in May is evidence. He has exceeded his art and his name is synonymous with other names engrained into culture. He went on the most canceled tour ever and still brought Adidas half a billion in one day less than a year later

This is JACK

Watch these lame ass hip hop is cooked niggas come in the comments lmao

I’ll never understand, and in spite of all of the he still did huge numbers.

He shoulda just dropped immediately after LP2, s*** even LP1, and we would be looking at Ye entirely differently today. Album woulda did even bigger numbers and he woulda been the one breaking these touring records for a rapper

The power of the bundle

@backflippin GODS COUNTRY

Us going down westheimer when this does 500k

literally

the neighbors getting sick of FEIN

8 hour shift of FEIN only

F*** you WFH

I still think it’s because artistically nothing has come
Along that has eclipsed ye’s influence. Culturally ye still at the epicenter of everything. And you got a point his name has essentially become such a big brand that it
Does exceed his art but you can say that with any superstar celebrity in their field

kris must have coped 50k bundles herself xD

nah but thats good for him congrats, , massive comeback

Ewwis crapaldi is what I call him

xD

Somebody saying those don’t count is just absurd brain rot

I couldn’t think of something that counts as a sale in the purest sense more than literally buying the album

You can’t tho, name ANY celebrity not named Jordan that has a product as engrained into society as Yeezy lol, you can’t.

Artistically, we just had Donda less than 2 years ago and he had all eyes watching what his next artistic endeavor was going to be.

He premiered for Apple their LIVE platform which wasn’t a small feat. He had 5+ million people watching a stream which is double the amount of live viewers for Twitch’s biggest broadcast ever

Prop for Travis to play by the rule book and use everything he got to sale his own album. Most artist nowadays can’t move like that in this current age of hiphop and music.

5 million people watching LP3 was crazy and he had 3 of them livestreams
