I'd say he'll do anywhere between 300-500k. Even 200k first week would be a success.
200k for kendrick is bad.. He did 242,000 with GKMC .. And no one knew who he was

Im praying that "We Dont Die" is the song he performed on the last episode of the Colbert Report.
I need that in my life.
200k is bad now?200k for kendrick is bad.. He did 242,000 with GKMC .. And no one knew who he was
I don't know man, 700k is hard to do first week in hip hop these days. Em did 790k first week with MMLP2; I don't think KDot is in Em territory yet.
Drake did 658k first week with nothing was the same ... It's possible these days
200k is bad now?
No one knew him?
Drake puts up those numbers because his audience is much more diverse than Kendricks.
If Kendrick sells more than 500k first week I'll be shocked
So k.dot was mainstream?
And yes for k.dot ...200k is def LOW
DO NOT underestimate the power of touring which K. Dot has been doing plenty of
Thought I was the only one who thought this. I don't care how many albums he sells, just give me dope tracks.Why do we care about sales so much?
It's not 1999 anymore.
Album sales aren't the primary way to judge the impact and reach of a project anymore.
You got to understand that kendrick fan base GREW a lot since GKMC.. People respect him for his craft now ... 500k is not shocking since he did 242k with GKMC
1.) People have been brainwashed to believe that sales mean an album is good, which you and I both know is a load of ****.Why do we care about sales so much?

I think sales used to have a holding on how much music we get and how long an artist sticks in the mainstream and at times just in general...but today that's not really the case. Sales are only for big labels to determine how much effort and funds is put into a particular artists, but I think (thankfully) we've gotten away from that.1.)

2.) Record sales have never been a primary judge of anything except marketing effectively.
Random, but something I posted on FB when someone asked about the title of KL's new album...
It's the American dream...
...and the title to Kendrick Lamar's new album dropping this month. He likes to hide things in his titles so I'm guessing he's addressing his growth (butterflies change from caterpillars) and how he's still making money for the same folks (industry execs) that see him as inferior.
Judging by the music he has released so far: I (Love Myself), The Blacker The Berry and that unreleased song he did as the last musical guest ever of The Colbert Report, that's what he's on.
And by American dream I mean making money off of ignorance/violence/servitude/pimping.
Haven't been following the thread, so I don't know if other's have come to that conclusion or if I'm way off.
