    think about it, people been investing in him for 3 years now, his last album sold literally less than some soundcloud users do (it sold 16k first week and never even passed 50k)...people wont keep investing on him

    i know its hard to grasp since we still in his somewhat popular community, but it will happen

    Oh he sells pretty well today but he gained relevancy by releasing music for free

    I think thug is a terrible businessman yes but I also do think releasing music for free can be profitable

    Thug makes heaps off touring and i think thats all he really cares about. I mean look at his and his management's behaviour they can't possibly care

    because he makes so much from people investing in him atm, but i highly doubt this will keep happening when he doesnt make any money back from albums

    the only reasonable income for thugger is touring and live performances, it's obvious he will never "blow up" with those big numbers but if he keeps on putting some dope music he might be able to recoup some of the losses through live performances but even that is very questionable

    His first album sold 50k first week as well, debuting at number 5 after only giving away free music is pretty popular :wellsht:

    This just isn't a move I'd be celebrating. It's like that Seinfeld episode where George is competing with Lloyd Braun selling computers and he just buys all of them to beat him.

    dont get me wrong, 50k in this current era is pretty good no doubt...but popular is for artists who push more than 250k a unit first week
