    With the right promotion maybe. However, Lady Gaga is huge and did about 225K. It’s a tough climate for high first week sales.

    Just want a consistent, dope album whether it does 75K or 500 though…and with no bars similar to the ones on MDL I didn’t like…which were only a small handful.

    Pretty solid mix of older and newer artists.

    Thought Rocky, Future and Kenny would be there as headliners for some reason, but nope.

    Taylor Swift probably the only regularly active artist that’s hitting those numbers today. Some other artists (mostly pop artists) could hit it but they aren’t active often

    To your inquiry…for instance…Lil Wayne, Badu, Luda are all older artists with dope material. Glorilla, TEMS, BigX are newer artists and have good songs. Therefore it’s a good mix of older and newer artists.

    To the second part…Cole is cool with all three of those guys and was featured on tracks with two of those three guys last year. So, yeah..not far fetched. There have been bigger artists than Rocky and Future in previous years for Dreamville Festival. Kendrick would probably be the outlier to perform due to the “beef”, but that s--- is done and I bet they’re still cool with each other. Ab-Soul is gonna be there who is obviously tight with Kendrick. And SZA and Schoolboy were there last year. Dreamville and TDE artists have always seemed to be cool with one another.

    You made a song with my opp, you dissed my discography and then couldn’t even stand on it so you deleted it, yeah sure dude I’ll come perform at your festival why not!!! No self-respecting man is gonna do that sorry. Until we get confirmation that they have made up we have no reason to believe otherwise. Kendrick is his own man, just because Ab-Soul is there doesn’t mean Kendrick and Cole are cool

    Jay-Z and Nas reconciled their feud, which began in 2001, in October 2005 during Jay-Z's "I Declare War" tour at the Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey, in front of a sold-out crowd.

    Also see Black Republican (2006), Success (2007)

    If those two made up, anyone in hip hop can.
