Jun 4, 2024 All I ever wanted was to be an MC Tediously I wrote obediently Believing in me EPMD must've had teaching degrees Learned to defeat enemies With the ink, thinking of these rhymes Would be as Easy as E And graffiti would be like remedial readin to me
Jun 4, 2024 Pre-Orders count towards 1st week sales... That's why they're doing this. And the pre-save thing. I bet x amount of pre-saves = x sales etc... May not be album this week then, just want to create the idea of scarcity (even though it's digital which makes no sense, which make more sense if they were selling pre-order CDs)... to maximise as many people pre-ordering here... Then probably more promo, another single etc. then a realise date. By the time all that's done, all these fkn pre-saves & pre-orders... def a calculated focus to try get Em a milli 1st week. People who think Em's marketing team/s are s--- are dumb. They're s--- when it comes to Shady artists, probably as they have no budget, and Em just thinks he can tweet and feat alone. But, they definitely have some good marketing ideas and timing there.
Jun 4, 2024 I don't care if anyone believes me or not because I'm not trying to prove anything nor be "right". If it comes out Friday, cool, but it's not gonna happen.
Jun 4, 2024 The strategy is to definitely make people buy ASAP and potentially get more sales out of it, but I’m just hoping that if the album does not come Friday, we get something soon after. Don’t stop pre-orders then go radio silent for awhile please, strike whole the iron’s hot
Jun 4, 2024 I don't think it will. This is just another tactic in a very calculated marketing plan so far. Very caclulated. Started with that trailer, Then acting kinda vague, getting people speculating; lil night show ads, obituary... pre-save on website option, but just let people discover it and talk about it themselves, which can = better marketing, as people think they're finding a secret and all the stans are like LOOK! Which we were... Then b--- big single. Then b--- pre-order! Quick! 1 week!, meanwhile pre-saves still going up.... They def gonna milk this single with a performance or two, Then I think another single, Some other s--- in the media somehow, with all these associations - tigers, lions, UFC/that crypto ad is UFC-sponsored... people are dumb if they think that's random too... Then probably a huge fkn billboard in NYC n s--- like THE DEATH OF SLIM SHADY - OUT FRIDAY X, like the Monday of that week; which I think would be the best way to do it. They def dragging and maximising this though... Ayo... UFC 303 Jun 29th - McGregor return... he commented on Em's post too. Cmon. That's happening. McGregor is walking out to ABBBRAAA CADAAAABRA... JUST LIKE THAT AND IM BACK BREH! and you know it.
Jun 4, 2024 1 million first week in 2024 would be historic. As only Taylor can do that these days. Paul should get them Targets restocks ready
Jun 4, 2024 When'd they ever do a pre-order before? I don't remember them ever doing it. That + like a month or however long more of the spotify pre-save s--- and however that counts to s---... They using lil tactics here. His actual 1st week sales would not be a milly. But with all this s---, who knows how much. I think 500k +
Jun 4, 2024 Pre saves don’t count towards sales, it just adds the album to your Spotify/Apple Music library when it comes out so you can listen to it instantly
Jun 4, 2024 If he plays his cards right with this s--- I can see him hitting half a mil but as an absolute achievement, it ain't easy nowadays, 300k alone would be crazy imo A million is way way way too optimistic, almost delusional I'd say
Jun 4, 2024 We will see, something should be dropping anyway, even if it’s just preorders. I want to spend my money already show me the bundles and merch
Jun 4, 2024 But streams do right? So they're pre-loading everybody to stream this s--- to high heaven, with this long build up. By the time they actually release it... gonna have all these fkn people with the s--- on their playlists and ready to stream vs. looking it up or people who may not have + the pre-orders this week...
