Kendrick Lamar is slated to have a very strong first week on the charts.
According to HDD, K. Dot is projected to sell more than 200,000 copies of his major label debut good kid, m.A.A.d city. Pop-country singer Taylor Swift is expected to nab the top slot with her latest LP Red, which will likely crown the charts with over a million copies sold.
The Compton, California native’s latest release reached as high as No. 2 on the iTunes album chart yesterday. The LP features guest appearances from Mary J. Blige, Dr. Dre, Jay Rock, Drake and MC Eiht.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am so happy for him! i didnt think hed sell that much
Meek Mill ain’t going to get that #1 spot next week either, Taylor Swift is probably going to come back and sell another 700, 000 units for her 2nd week release sales, the charts is going to her play ground for the next 6 weeks.
YES YES YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES
More Kendrick, MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I call this the white teen effect (Mommy/Daddy, can i get that album/go see that show?). It’s the reason why only certain artists (Eminem, Lil’ Wayne, Kanye West etc) can sell out stadiums as opposed to music halls. And a lot of that comes down to the white teen (or pop radio) fan base who invest in trending music. As the album begins to trend, the sales will go up. And on another note, it is a superb piece of work.
keep your bullshit theories for yourself
you don’t sound clever and you aint malcolm x
bitch ass nigga
*deep voice*
YEAH!
I love how people always make it about race. Here’s a thought. A demographic, in this case, caucasians, aren’t afraid to spend money on something they like. That’s what it comes down to. Cheap motherfuckers bootleg everything then complain when their favorite rapper goes wood, yet can’t part with ten bucks for a CD.
hit me up for them bangas tho http://www.soundclick.com/CoolGreySlim…….and subscribe to http://www.youtube.com/user/coolgreyslim for a free beat
I predicted yesterday on Twitter that he would sell at least 220,000 in the first week, but I’m hoping for at least 300k.
COME ON KENDRICK!
good
gooooooooooooooood
back in the day 500,000 copies was a strong first week, what the fuck happened
Welcome to the digital age. It’s 2012, everybody downloads. I personally bought 2 copies of Kendrick’s album though. Yay for me.
X’s third album sold that, maybe more. I forget. Today, that’s like an unrealistic wet dream for most artists.
looks like dre is putting that headphone money to good use
Kendrick bout to do 900,000 u heard it here first.
Taylor Swift bouta sell a mill first week?? Damn! Looks like she doesn’t have any internet savvy, downloading fans to worry about.
most of Taylor Swifts fans are kids who ask their parents to buy the cd for them. Piracy isn’t as big an issue for those type of acts.
SLAUGHTERHOUSE LOST LOOOL
I agree with Bing on the “white teen effect”. It’s mostly white kids buying up these albums from Kendrick, J Cole, Mac Miller, Wayne, Eminem, etc. Artists like 2Chainz or Meek Mill have way more buzz in the hiphop community then a Kendrick Lamar… But they’re never going to move the same numbers until they get white nerd teenagers on their side.
e
yeah motherfucker
why do yall use that excuse of its only white teenagers buying the albums when they do good? is there like a stat book somewhere?
Does his “first week” end on Thursday since he started on Monday instead of Tuesday? Or does he get an extra day?
either way its a great look. I don’t know what Taylor is doing. WOW!
Fuck Taylor Swift!
Already did, wasnt that great. Bitch bites
I wouldn’t say it’s just white kids who buy these albums, but most the time it’s kids in the suburbs or some shit, (black, or white). If you go to the HOOD, and ask people who they listen to, their tell you Lil Boosie, or Meek or some shit, they don’t say K. Dot, or Mac Miller etc. Anyways, glad to see Kendrick Lamar doing well.
your a fuckin idiot, kendrick lamar is HOOD.. from Compton… and dont u ever put dot and mac miller in the same sentence u bish u
your a skidmark
that’s our problem though – we feel the “hood” people only listen to one type of artist and dont buy music at all – Kendrick comes from Compton doesn’t he? how more hood does he have to be? lol- is it because he is lyrical that the hood supposedly doesn’t embrace him? I dunno i’m just tired of hearing that it is only white kids that buy music when it does good and we have no joy that a hip hop artist is selling music
It’s not that he’s “lyrical” He sounds like a cross of Andre 3000, Devin The Dude, and an alien – and the first two of these are better ‘lyricists’ than K.dot. The kid is a nice rapper but he’s not doing anything any better than some dudes have already been doing for years.
WOW. I was expecting 70-100-maybe 120 if he got lucky. But 200,000??? Real hip hop is coming back.
Anonymous:
your a fuckin idiot, kendrick lamar is HOOD.. from Compton… and dont u ever put dot and mac miller in the same sentence u bish u
When did I ever say Kendrick wasn’t hood? I know the nigga is from Compton, I don’t give a fuck if the nigga is hood, or not, to be honest, and why the hell can’t I put Mac Miller and Kendrick Lamar in the same sentence?? Fuck out of here with that bullshit.
you said ppl from the HOOD only listen to boosie and meek not kendrick what kinda racist bullshit is that… just cuz kendrick doesnt rap about gunplay and coke doesnt mean ppl from the HOOD dont listen to him
ahh man i thought real hip hop was dead
THANK GOD !!!!!! HIP HOP IS ALIVE.
so the west really not fuckin with game?
like the sopranos.. its over
Game is the west, and where is game at in this article?
yeah the western side of glendale oaks ahah please WE dont see game as a real MC maybe you do but its to many brothers that get busy on the mic from the W.
@NIGGAnCOMPTON
your white and from conneticut
when you bust your ass in the booth this is the results
co sign from dre and jimmy iovine also works….alot of people bust they ass in the booth…but do not have a machine behind them
I don’t agree with the “race” comments but I agree with some others. If you go to the hood right now and ask most young people who they listen to they’ll say 2 Chainz, Future, Rick Ross, French Montana etc.. not Kendrick, J. Cole, or Lupe.. I’m in college so I can tell that most college kids and other adults listen to less mindless bullshit and more rappers with better lyrics and music.. I even know adults in their 30s and 40s who bought Kendrick’s album.. I’m not saying the hood is responsible for these wack rappers, I’m just saying what I’ve seen..
The people who are buying Kendrick’s album are the college and up crowd. If you think the hood is buying 2 Chainz, Future, Meek Mill etc. your crazy lol. Its the white people who buy that crap.
cosign
cosign.
I disagree! Some of my white friends don’t listen to hip-hop because they think it all sounds like the rappers you named, which are the ones who get radio play. The white friends I have that do listen to hip-hop like old school and few new school lyricists..
^^^ well you have some pretty smart white friends. Unfortunately when you look at the audience of these corny rappers the majority are white.
I’ll let you in on a little secret. It’s Korean people who are bumpin the 2 Chainz CD so hard their CD decks are exploding.
I’m white…
Brainwashed white people are the only ones who buy this commercial crap. The hood downloads it for free.
Kendrick isn’t the most lyrically versatile artist I’ve seen. His portfolio might not be as impressive as his counterparts but the reason I think everyone has embraced Kendrick is because he brings and element of realism that hip hop fans have been deprived of for a long time. Yes legends (and I say legends with the utmost respect) like Nas, Common, Jay Electronica possess the lyricism and sincerity Kendrick has displayed but recently Kendrick has been more consistent.

Finally Lol
True Talk Malone
This album getting these kind of numbers is HUGE,Kendrick Lamar is proving that there still is a large group of people who appreciate music that has meaning and a story, i hope rappers learn that just trying to have an album riddled with drake,lil wayne, nicki minaj, rick ross etc features isn’t going to mean big numbers.
The numbers will only keep growing. People just need to wake up to the fact that there is more out there than what is currently presented.
(that goes for presidential candidates, food, other styles of music, etc.)
Curtis Jackson’s SKI Album projected to sell 1,500,000 copies first week.yeeeeeeaaaaaah. Its on thisis50.com
LMFAO
LMFAOoooo
If Interscope promotes him properly he’ll do 220k easy.
Now a lot of you may know me as that asshole who leaves a lot of space between every comment to the point where no one else can post. I think we got off on the wrong foot. See I’m a nice guy. I pay my taxes on time. I help the old lady downstairs with her groceries. I like animals. I like loose women but most of all I love you all. My job here as a troll here on hiphopdx is to bring the light of love most of you probably haven’t seen before. See I honestly believe that no matter how much of you call me a faggot and tell me I should die (suicide usually is the suggestion) deep inside I believe that you all love me too which is why I’m going to continue spreading more joy and love on this site. Thank you all for the time you have spent interacting with me and talking to me. I will never forget it and I will continue doing the good work I’ve been doing.
Sincerely Yours

you really need to channel your desire to be famous in something more productive.
This album was 9.5/10! It is GREAT. You have to give it a listen.
its good to know that Im not the only one that did not let hiphop die on Oct 22
Yo why he droppin with Taylor Swift. He aint be able to claim he had a number 1 debut album like Game oder 50 did
i was thinking the same thing, should have moved the date up by a day.
really really.. who cares dickheads

to bad he wont reach number 1 he wouldve deserved it
That and the fact that Taylor Swift released her album too and as much as I dig K.Dot, no way hes outselling Taylor Swift.
Kendrick overrated as fuck. Niggas and emo hipsters all up riding this niggas dick when he only has a few nice bars and a bunch of wack shit like the recipe. His freestyles aint that good either, nigga spits the same bars and all stations and his dickriders say he freestylin. Plenty of niggas in the south spit hotter bars than this overrated ass nigga.
Quit crying nigga. You motherfuckers always bitch about retards like Rick Ross & Gucci Mane selling, now this kid is gonna do decent numbers and your still crying.
YOUR FAVORITE LYRICAL MIRACLE RAPPER IS BORING AND NOBODY LIKES HIM.
At least most of Kendricks music be about something, its nice to see a kid with a lil bit of content sell some records. But here comes your elitest douchebag “Nothing in the world will ever be good enough to make me stop whining” black cloud ass comes to complain about it. Just shut the fuck up
Plenty of rappers in the south are better than Kendrick? Outside of OutKast, good luck finding those mysterious people you speak of.
He got an XXL rating. He got 9.5 on Pitchfork (fuck them niggas though), he got co-signed by Dr. Dre, T.I., Jeezy, Cudi, Hit-Boy, Drake, Rick Ross, DJ Khaled, Birdman, Mack Maine, Mos Def, Kweli, Lupe Fiasco, Common, Slaughterhouse, Game, E-40, MC Eiht, Big Sean, RZA, Busta, Kay Slay, Funk Flex, The Breakfast Club, Hot 97, 106 N Park, Mac Miller, Roscoe Dash, GLC, Q-Tip, Just Blaze, DJ Quik, Pharrell, Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y, Snoop Dogg, Tech N9ne, Nas, Andre 3000, Big KRIT, J. Cole. You really think he needs your co-sign?
I wish Kendricks album came out next week so he coulda went #1. Interscope messed up there, Taylor Swift is huge!

Even with a month’s worth of pre-orders? Do those get added in first week soundscan sales like everyone says they do? Can’t be, can it?
This performance shows there is far more to rap than just constantly saying “Pop that Pussy!” or “Tunechi” or YOUNG MULAH BABY!!!! Kendrick’s album is the best album for me so far. Kendrick got a cosign from Dr. Dre, extremely rare in today’s landscape.
Channel Orange is my favorite album is year but this album is definitely the best rap album followed by FnL II

YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
Kendrick about to do 200k. My faith in hip-hop has been restored again. good kid, m.A.A.d city is a dope album. I actually went out and bought the deluxe edition. Money well spent. Let’s see what the naysayers have to say about this.
Watch his die hard fans turn on him now like they did J.cole when he did 235k. SMH
Half of them already did.
Which planet are you fools living on?
First album I bought in 5 Years!!!! I was nervous when I paid for it at the register lol
that makes you a piece of shit. cause youre one of those asshole always the first to tell rappers what kind of music they should be making and preaching about “real hiphop” yet you dont even support them. There have been MANY great hip hop albums in the last 5 years… what the fuck have you been doing? coming here bragging that you’re part of the reason sale dropped and shit. fuck you bitch.
Fuck You Bitch Mr Brown
MrBrown, you’re one of the reasons Hip Hop is failing, you fuck. So many incredible albums have dropped that you should have supported.
As long as you don’t open it, you can still take it back. Advice you can rely on.
We must stick together if we want to survive…
Sincerely Yours
-Malone
And how many of those copies were bought by Interscope? That’s what I want to know.
ya bish
lmao.. ya bish
None, ya bish.
There are two different types of hip hop : Hood (urban) hip hop (2pac , biggie, eazy, ross, big l etc) than there is suburban hip hop (mac miller, tech n9ne, eminem, lamar, any other corner underground artist) theres a reason why underground never gets respect, cuz it’s is garbage, nobody is feelin it! Look I understand they are “versatile” on the mic, but I ain’t feelin it! There is more to being “versatile” that makes you a dope artist. Wack hooks, wack beats, wack subject matter and rhyming words out of the dictionary doesn’t cut it for me ! Theres a reason why suburban kids are the ones dickridin this stuff and the hood people all u hear is dead silence! Who u gonna trust in the hip hop community, kids from the burbs or the urban street community? I dont care how complex they can rap, wack is wack. Than suburban kids have the nerve to say that street hip hop is wack? That’s almost as funny as a white dude tellin a mexican how to make mexican food! The fact of the matter is, suburban kids can’t relate to people so they substitute rhyme versatile tryin to mislead the listener that they are dope when really they aren’t! This is not a classic, and this will be forgottan about fast trust me on this. Street hip hop will forever be dominent and you suburban kids can stop tryin so hard to prove everyone you “know” hip hop, because it’s really sad, and funny both at the same time !! LMAO!!
you clearly have not listened to kendrick…he talks about STREET SHIT….he just gives a unique spin on it…not the cliche cuttie cutter same ol shit YOUR favorite rappers put out. He probably has been in the street more than you even….
It’s exactly the other way around. “Real” niggaz from the hood with a lil’ more in their brains than just air will always respect & enjoy music with a message or outstanding skills. Kendrick combines both so he is definitely one of the greatest mc’s now. Being from the hood doesn’t mean that you have to celebrate ignorance and gangsta-lifestyle. Only wanna be hard-niggaz with no clue what good music is hate on Kendrick. Go do your real hood-shit and listen to your real hood-music but don’t write some dumb bullshit on a hip-hop website.
I think what dude means is that lamar gets no respect in the streets nobody is feelin him, he is a hood dude, but there is no buzz in the streets for him, whereas, in the burbs, there is m.A.A.d of how classic this material is, and at the end of the day he is sayin, the streets opinion on what good hip hop is far exceeds what the burbs opinion on good rap is, and the people dickridin dude are mostly suburban kids. Most people that list to that super lyrical type of stuff tend to be suburban kids that can relate to street stuff.
I think what dude means is that lamar gets no respect in the streets nobody is feelin him, he is a hood dude, correct, but dont get it confused, there is NO buzz in the streets for him, whereas, in the burbs, there is m.A.A.d talk of how this is as “classic” as illmatic. At the end of the day the streets opinion on what good hip hop is far exceeds what the burbs opinion on good rap is, and the people dickridin dude are mostly suburban kids. Most people that listen to that super lyrical type of stuff tend to be suburban kids that can’t relate to street stuff.
Kill yourself for being so stupid.
this album is m.A.A.d boring!!! a classic? SMH
shut the fuck up and go listen to Future
200k its first week huh? How many of those are going to be bought by aftermath? Raw numbers I was predicting something like 75-80k usually for these type of rappers. Meek mill I predict a better album plus 300k+ sales, real talk.
j. cole is similar to kendrick based on what they rap but he sold 218K and a LOT of ppl appeal to k dot i bought the album and meek mill going 300k+? are you retarded? hes deff NOT gonna go that high probably in the 100,000-200,000 mark
Aftermath wins again, i see some Lil Gayne and officer ricky fans hatin on aftermath nut we got classics after classic u can name them, lol
Again? are you serious fam?
This shit is mad wack yo.. streets ain’t feelin it b.. lol at all the people ratin this 5 stars. Yo kendrick, you sound like a fuckin kermit the frog, this is str8 garbage yo.. I know real mothafucka feel me on this one tho, u rich suburban kids keep dickridin LOOOL!!
This is m.A.A.d yo, real talk i slept half way thru this shit, it’s corny az hell yo, how people got the nerve to dubb this shit a classic is beyond me!! I really gave this shit a listen and I was like yo , is this shit really what people are talkin bout on the net yo? Real talk, if this is what is dubbed as the next illmatic, shoot yo self…
stfu Mac Miller
yeah im one of the 200,000 who wants his money back wonder how many people will buy the next one
that’s a joke right?
JUST BECAUSE YOUR FROM THE STREETS DOES NOT MEAN YOU WANT TO BE A DUMBASS CRIMINAL,IM FROM A “BAD NEIGHBOORHOOD” AND ALL HISPANICAS AND I KNOW ALOT OF PEOPLE WHO DIG HIS MUSIC BECAUSE THEY DON’T WANT TOLISTEN TO IGNORANT RAPPERS. WE CANT RELATE TO MOTHERFUCKERS TALKING ABOUT SELLING DRUGS BECAUSE WE ARE TRYING TO FIGHT OF DRUGS THAT ARE KILLING THE COMMUNITY, WE CANT RELATE TO RAPPERS TALKING ABOUT EXOTIC CARS BECAUSE EVERYONE IN THE HOOD DRIVE BUCKETS AND ITS FUNNY SEEING MOTHERFUCKERS SINGING LAMORGINI MERCY IN A 1985 COROLLA LMAO NOT EVERYONE WANTS SOME IGNORANT MUSIC WITH THE SAME FLOW THATS ALL HYPE!!!!
THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ALBUM SUCKING
Real talk tho, this album just sucks, did you ever think of that? The fact that nerds, and wiggers are the ones dubbin this the next illmatic is what causin street dudes to laugh!!! Nobody in the street community is feeln this dude, it is boring as hell yo! The hooks, the beats, the subject matter, they all suck, he is versatile, I’ll give him that, his voice fuckin sucks too by the way.
listen a lot of us street dudes wanna listen to that get money shit u hear me, something we can hustle and grind to, something u wanna hear at parties, bitches don’t wanna hear this shit, and this damn well wont make me wanna hustle n grind thats for damn sure, but that’s just me, I gotta keep it authentic u feel me.
All 3 of you are retarded.
HATERS,HATERS,HATERS, just stop kendrick is a good mc. Eastcoast ppl just mad cuz the west has a rising artist
i’m from the east coast and im glad! the west needs kendrick
lol what year are you living in. no one gives a fuck about east vs west anymore
fuck year which decade is this nigga living in. smh
Meek Mills next album> This garbage. Nuff said.
funny joke.
i bet there was some dumbass who hated illmatic too, which one you still talkin about
I see ppl commenting about how the hood dnt fuck w/Kendrick & only suburban kids like his music.That’s false cuz ppl in the hood know Kendrick but even if u dnt, that’s just ur opinion. Dnt generalize the whole hood as ppl who are ignorant & cant understand intellectual rap. Cuz Pac had both street shit & music w/substance & Biggie had bars & punchlines that werent no easy abc rhyme bullshit either. If u cnt understand complex rhymes or like music w/substance & only wanna listen to songs about killing,hoes & weed than u honestly have a horrible taste in music. Hip-hop is much more than that streetor ignorant shit.Do ur homework & learn about different sides of the culture b4 u judge shit.
Listen up, Pac and BIG WERE the streets, this nigga kendrick is from compton, but nobody is bumpin him in the streets. The auidence listenin to this cat is the same audience u see on Ems dick, Mac Millers dick, all that underground shit, that nobody wants to hear. Being a street rapper is being able to connect to the listener, have good beats, good hooks, and good substance, all KENDRICK has is versatility, everything else is mediocre at best.
@ yo….what the hell you talking bout the streets ain;t fucing with Kendrick….got to youtube and whatch that concert where damn near every STREET RAPPER COSIGNED HIM on stage,,,Kurupt, Snoop, Game, Daz, they all passed the torch to this dude, if that ain;t sreet then what is? This niggaz got a track with MC Eight, I mean what else do you want?
ill say he does 180k
great job kendrick! i was expecting around 100k but this is impressive as fuck. haters keep hating, kendrick finally made it.
there you have it guys.
Kendrick got next.
At this point I don’t think anything can stop Kendrick…
Sincerely Yours
-Malone
this nigga is garbage, not feelin this album at all
Overrated album , overrated rapper, will be forgotten by this time next year.
some people are just so jealous of this dude…. get a life u f**k’s

HENCE THE FACT HE’S SELLIN BABY NUMBERS LMFAO ONLY WHITE COLLEGE KIDS BUMPIN HIS SHIT THINKIN THEY RE COOL AND SHIT..DRIZZY MUST BE LAUGHIN HIS BLACK BAR MITZVAH ASS OFF RIGHT NOW
Kill yourself, retard.
Maybe the “College Kid” should be a sign to you that your too uneducated to understand his music you stupid fuck.
I love the “da hood don fux wit kendrick” comments.. The the talks of understand complexity and y’all can’t even spell.
Comedic though.. and all y’all implying the race card, kill yourself.. There are hundreds of years in history of people being wrong and you could learn from their mistakes but you’d rather be a dumb ignorant fuck and piss what, little, intelligence you do have on being racist.
The grammar expert committing a mistake in the very same sentence. Actually, the SMS format (texting) has thrived specifically because of the usage of slang spelling.
“Eat more Chik’n” bothers you? Or do you understand the TEXT. After all, YOU responded to the sentiment that the urban hoods don’t listen to Kendrick.
Spelling “lik dis cuz ih mace me gangsta or fom da trap” isn’t grammar.. it’s stupidity. I appreciate your drawn out and unecessary rant. Still a bunch of dumbass wanna-be thugs who just discovered the internet. Speaking on behalf of the “streets”.. I got a street out in front of my house, I must be hood! Guess I don’t understand “TEXT” or “SMS”
At least you didn’t respond to the logic behind how ignorant it is to be racist in 2012
Kendrick is a decent mc, this album is being over hyped but what do you expect, people are so used to talented artist getting no promotion or airplay that people are sick of it and go on a huge hyping promotion sprees. He still deserves more sells and attention these most of these shitty copy cat mainstream acts.
It’s funny how one person thinks they speak for “the streets.” Well the streets aint buying music so their opinion doesn’t matter. Especially to record companies!
Success= A lot of hate!!! Me and the TDE fam lovin it!!! Without the hate it wouldn’t make the success that special!!! We love the haters!!! We got shyne hatin too! We did it, YES!!! WE MADE IT!!!
2 Chainz fan boys just mad cause Kendrick sold more than him! Yeah that was to the sucka that said Kendrick will never be more popular than 2 Chainz.
he bring some good and fresh to the table. some of you just scared to evolve the game been changing…. wake up
I was told not long ago, TK don’t stop that rap, now everytime I grab the mic I rock it just like that.
Not hating on Kendrick (I bought the album), but I personally liked Jay Rock’s debut better. Good for K-Dot though, hip hop needs this.
Dayum man it’s alot of haters on this site. As a true Kendrick fan i just admire the growth. This guy hasn’t released any of the actual songs produced by Dre yet! I mean this is just the beginning real talk. So with that said, this album will probably go Gold in a few months time. It all about money. This dude has substantial shit but we live in a world of ignorant, shallow, sheep who just want to hear the same 808 the same flow the same shit. So keep listening to the same shit while the true music listeners admire greatness when we see it.
AMEN BROTHA!!!
Snoop Dogg bought 50,000 Dr.Dre brought 110,000 Fans 40,000
total 200,000 the LamarCare plan is in full effect He is boring just like J.cole Slaw get your Ass out of here!!!
You’re a fucking idiot.
