Def Jam seriously undershipped this album...all ive been hearing and seeing on twitter is pictures of best buy sold out of this album...people fiendin for that deluxe and t shirt bundle but they cant find it anywhere....some people going to 3-4 stores

Frank Ocean just did 130K off a record he pushed up with no promo on the same label as Nas that didn't even fukk with him til Novacane blew up. What are we gonna hear next? Nas fans don't fukk with computers? :aicmon:

you have to put it in perspective, how many dudes that dropped in 94 are seeing 100k first week now? alot of people with bigger nationwide hits are doing those type of numbers or less so its not bad considering


its that simple

I think we were hoping that good music would get rewarded with good sales.

Nas Lost and so did Hip Hop. Seriously, the MMG album did 90k.

It's gonna be a sad day at the coli, a real sad sad day when French Montana drops Excuse My French in the 3rd or 4th quarter and sells just as much as this. It's gonna be dark and gloomy around here. The Coli may need to have a black on black skin introduced that week. And what makes it so sad now is that for all I know, I could be bullshytting, but we all know there's chance this actually happens.

Whats with all the excuses? Nas hasn't been an A list rapper for over a decade at least, he's doing pretty damn good on this release. And I've seen plenty of his albums on shelves so stop with the undershipping crap, try a different store maybe.

There's this perception that Nas has a strong fanbase, and he has a fanbase but it isn't very strong, 100k maybe and they bought the album. Even the thread betting on his sales had most people projecting exactly what he's getting so why the shock and excuses?

Nas isn't doing great numbers, but he's doing well for someone of his stature, why knock him?

Jay would suffer the same fate as Nas, Wu, Diddy, Snoop and any other legend from the 90s if wasn't hiding behind Kanye & Rhiana.


Marketing and moving units depends on the audience. Nas's audience has grown up. You got nikkas begging for him to do duet albums with AZ produced by Premo.... That shyt wouldn't move units.


nikkas should enjoy the mans album. You get nothing if he succeeds or fails your fukking fan.

so all it took was a letter to get people to buy an album from an artist they wouldn't have copped if he were straight? :wtf:

so by your logic, it goes down like this:

Frank Ocean puts out a letter about falling in love with some dude = people blindly spend dough on iTunes to buy an album from a guy they weren't checking for.

Nas puts out the highly anticipated Life Is Good = even countless Nas fans are like :childplease: Sharebeast Is Great, spent my money on Cashin' Out :yayo:


Nevermind the singles, guys. Nevermind Def Jam "undershipping" the album. Nevermind the climate of music. If Nas just admitted that he was a fakkit, he woulda sold 300K first week. The end. :beli:
