Jun 19, 2022 Yeah if Em does a release without a first single to build hype he maybe ain't even doing 200k.This year is weird look at Kendrick and Post Malone.Or maybe I'm underestimating Em's star power i don't know???
Jun 19, 2022 No chance he is doing well without promo. He needs a single or some next big event like Oscars or Half Time Show. But he and Dre are also the masters of wasting opportunities, so...
Jun 19, 2022 He also did kamikaze, killshot, both MTBMB sides and other singles. I think his comment was just to mock stans like freddiewreck did, but who knows
Jun 19, 2022 They dropped boring albums like Drake, don't blame the year. Em would probably sell less than he did with MTBMB though. It would be a bit sad if he can't even outsell Kendrick's first week numbers.
Jun 19, 2022 It'll be sad because the best selling rapper of all time, 25 years into the game and out of prime, couldn't outsell the finest artist of this generation's extremely hyped album, if he dropped without promo? Doesn't matter Marsh.
Jun 19, 2022 lol even no promo Em should be able to outsell Kendrick's boring album. If he tried, he could probably double its quality and numbers.
Jun 19, 2022 ”Dont blame the year” Isnt that what you have done several times already, calling the year ”cursed” for example
Jun 19, 2022 Yes, I did. And the proof is there lol artists are flopping left and right. But when you drop something boring, it's expected. The one that deserved better is The Weeknd. Dawn Fm deserved way better.
Jun 19, 2022 Kamikaze cover was nice, it wasn't something original though. And MTBMB artwork was his best since Relapse
Jun 19, 2022 It's not like the man's had the greatest album covers other than SSLP, TES and maybe Relapse(?) MMLP is a black and white photo with him sitting next to his old house (symbolic and everything but nothing crazy), Encore is TES but blue, Recovery is a f---ing picture of him in a road (again, symbolic and s--- but simple), MMLP2 cover sucks.
Jun 19, 2022 Kamikaze is too similar to license to ill, s--- is the same at first glance. Sure, use as inspiration, but change the colors or use a drastically different plane. Like nothing wrong with the influence, but it's basically the same if you spot it on a shelf. Too close to biting
Jun 19, 2022 It would be funny if a 50 year old Em would outsell all the hot rappers of the moment in 2022. That's wat we would call Beatles status
Jun 19, 2022 That's what I mean. He also kinda did his own version of T.I.'s Paper Trail for Relapse. The booklet was pretty nice though, just like MTBMB's
Jun 19, 2022 I love MMLP house cover. And the one with him writing. MMLP2 cover was also dope imo, and the deluxe with the car door was kinda cool. Exactly. Hope it will happen.
