Nah, it's a flop. Him being independent doesn't matter when him and Meg have been in the news the entire summer. Him breaking his 3 month silence to drop an entire album about the situation is a bigger rollout than his past 2 albums on a major label ever got

Chixtape 5 did 83k with just that Jerry sprunger single that didn't even leave the 40s of the top 100

Am I missing something or did tory ever have big promo when he was signed? His music has always been spread mainly by word of mouth. The new Toronto 3 didn't have any big singles
Bro he just possibly shot a black woman, and that’s 50% of his fanbase. 50k is decent

What’s lost in all of this is Tory was threatening to expose Interscope late last year. INTERSCOPE, probably the most powerful label in Hip-Hop. Then in April he fulfilled his album obligation to the label. 3 months later the Meg shyt happens, who’s backed by RocNation, and the entire industry is trying to block him.

He’s made powerful enemies. Knowing how the industry can be and not just an ignorant fan, I see what’s going on and I believe Tory. :yeshrug:

He lost a large portion of his fan base I know people who won’t listen to him again.

I just seen that everyday struggle clip, and that shyt is legit scary.

dude literally said we don’t need the facts, that even if Tory is innocent it doesn’t matter. What’s up with that black chick on the show? She clearly look like she hates men.

watching all these black artist and sites legit turn on dude. Never seen anything like this before

Did they change the beat on whats kulture? That was one of my favorite songs...
I just peeped that, it's not the same beat as before.

Also, another weird thing, every time an album comrs out, i always go to Wikipedia for the credits. To this day there is no wiki entry for the album. I don't think there is a conspiracy for the album not to be on there. Wiki has had way more controversial things published on their website. I just wanted to know who made what beats.

No it’s not and it won’t be it’s subject matter dates it quickly. It was dope but I’ll probably never revisit again I’m over the goofy Tory/Meg shyt.
I think it depends. Some of the songs are vague enough that you could enjoy them without knowing anything about the incident. Especially the ones with more singing.

I don’t know if it's a future classic. I think it will depend on how things unfold. Like you said, the album is dope sonically. And i would qualify it as an important album this year even if it's off gossip. Whether or not that translates into a classic in the future remains to be seen.

But...based on everything out there, he did it. It’s just that he’s denying stuff to the end, like Trump and Danuel House

Word? Cuz based on everything out there the police and DA dont think he did it. Maybe they're waiting on ballistics or something, this conviction by rumors y'all doing is retarded.
