Aug 27, 2021 I'm not the one who posted about him flopping lol. I'm just saying that I'm an Em fan and barely know what he even looks like. Tinashe flopped hard as f--- and I like her album. She did 7k first week. Can't get worse than that. She had a fun rollout though.
Aug 27, 2021 Heres how you do it: start saving money right now, dont spend it all. Sooner or later he’ll drop some merch and you can buy it.
Aug 27, 2021 Lmao why do people even care about sales anymore?? The CD era is dead where sales mattered
Aug 27, 2021 Bro did you even listen to his verse!? He tells you his memory is too vivid to forget the s--- he's been through and that he is missing a screw. The guy has issues and can't get past it.
Aug 27, 2021 I have 50 right now lol. That's what I paid for both cds last time. Shipping costs is the problem.
Aug 27, 2021 You act like streams don't matter. People about to go to war when Kanye and Drake drop. You think they won't judge the sales too? I just said that I like Tinashe's album and she flopped as hard as she could. So it's not about sales. It's about a fun rollout for me. And big singles are part of it.
Aug 27, 2021 I think it's fair to want artists you like to sell well Like even if it's not surprising I wanted grip to sell well cause honestly from that complex article it sounded like he needs it
Aug 27, 2021 Exactly. And I always said it s----d how Em didn't promote the album at all. Even before knowing the numbers.
Aug 27, 2021 I also get wanting fun promotion but wanting an artist you like to sell well matters less with someone like an Em who's already huge than it does with someone who's lesser known
Aug 27, 2021 I feel like it matters more. You expect a rapper as big as Em to sell way more. I know he's old, but still. Promo helps a lot too. Imagine if Kanye hadn't done this circus with his album release. He would sell half. He made everyone curious.
Aug 27, 2021 Guys, you do realize artists generate their main revenue stream from shows and merchandise sales right? Back in the day sales mattered but not as much anymore. Grip is winning by the fact we all know who he is right now.
Aug 27, 2021 Yeah, but I don't go to shows so that don't affect me. But, you know a good promo sells more tickets for the tour. With Em it doesn't matter though, since he does like 2 or 4 shows and so many people want to see him so they will be full obvioulsy.
Aug 27, 2021 I meant it matters more when it comes to livelihood for smaller artists but if you mean general publicity than yeah it definitely also matters for bigger artists
Aug 27, 2021 Back then it never even occurred to me to get merch for some dumb reason. I didn’t even have a smart phone back then. That’s my favorite album so I regret not being in the loop as far as that stuff goes back then
Aug 27, 2021 Who knows? At the time almost nobody would've thought of it as a classic Maybe M2BMB will become cult-classic too
