Early projections show Nas “Magic 2” to do around 15-20k first week

[prophecypro]

Yeah, Im at this point now. He good with these docs. Fuhk selling your soul for a stream and these fickle fans

I don’t know if he’ll stop making music over it

Lupe Fiasco still drops albums that do 5k first week and he keeps it moving

Aside from Hov stans trolling, why yall concerned about it? 100,000,000 streams get you about 67,000 "sales." You not doing numbers in this era without a whole lot of 15-30 year olds running your songs back over and over. Nobody that age checking for a Nas album in 2023 where the only guests are 50 and an 8 month old track with 21

His fans aren't fickle just that most are damn near grandparents..if not grandparents. Shyt Nas needs to be a grandparent by now from Destiny

Nas had a great run ....possibly the best in genre history. He done good. Time for him to age now. After 8/11/23, Nas needs to be done with making music

15k-20k for a surprise album with no promotion from a 50 year old rapper is not as bad as the Nas haters making it out to be

Dudes in here who don't even listen to these albums yet rail on and on about their sales are just weird

I just wanted to see him get the record for most top 10 debuts for a rapper. Making history IS a big deal.

It doesn’t diminish my appreciation or enjoyment of the album whatsoever. It just would’ve been cool to see the greatest rapper of all time be number 1 for top 10 debuts. It shows that talent and QUALITY music still mean something.


But streaming by the way its counted is already against the artists anyways. It is what it is

Bro.. I dont even care about vids no more..lol

I think Ive watched each vid he put out once. Om not in that space with music. I want the albums. I buy the album.

Nas fans should straight purchasing. Stream parties nshyt? Man we not 15yrs old..

Nas is that dude. Doc the process behind making these albums. Im in for that. Drop the doc same day as the album..bundle that shyt. You then control the narrative of these albums.. promotion.

Thing is though nobody outside the Coli care about sales or stream counts. For real when the last time you heard record sales or Billboard charts come up in real life conversation?

Snoop last album debuted at #104 and he did the Super Bowl three days after it dropped.

Dr Dre did the Super Bowl ..not snoop dogg

Snoop was there. Had the opening verse of the show

 

[CrimsonTider]

Waste of money

Ice Spice label and team did all that for 19K

I would be surprised if you knew how to walk straight

If Im Nas, Im not giving out no more music... fans aint shyt. I aint saying Im a numbers guy, but his fanbase sucks.

I dont even wanna talk about Magic 2 or no other albums on here... certain part of his fanbase makes me sick.

The Nas fans did support it’s just not enough Nas fans to get more sales than what shows

Come on sales are heavily discussed on every music website, board, twitter account, YouTube channel, podcast etc.
Its a major topic of discussion in music.

Last time I checked Snoop, Dre, Eminem, Mary J, 50, and Kendrick all performed or are you in a separate reality where Detox actually dropped and Drake writes his own lyrics?
