THESE ALBUMS FLOPPED THEY ARE WAY WAY WAY WAY LESS THAN NICKI’S AND YALL SAID SHE FLOPPED. THEY NEED TO CALL UP YMCMB AND SEE IF THEY CAN BE DOWN WITH THE TEAM. YMCMB DONT WANT THEM JET LIFE WEED CARRIERS THOUGH.
your a dumbass….quit being dillusional…you talk like you no about the music industry but you don’t….YOUR DUMBASS…flops are based on expectations. For instance michael Jackson was always expected to sell at LEAST 10 million a album…if he sold 4 million that would be considered a flop. Now 4 million would not be considered a flop for a much smaller scale artist. Big Krit got NO HYPE HARDLY ANY PROMOTION…NOR RADIO PLAY…….But nicki…as much as she stays hyped and promoted….she is just now going gold…….that my friend is failed expectations and a FLOP!
YMCMB EXPECTED NICKI TO SELL WHAT SHE SOLD. YMCMB IS GETTING MORE MONEY OFF NICKI CD THEN DEF JAM IS FOR BIG KRIT SO KRIT IS A FLOP IF YOU SAY NICKI IS A FLOP
nicki makes pop records krit and spitta actually make hip hop albums.yessir would prolly back up britney spears if she was on ymcmb haha
I DONT KNOW THE INDUSTRY… BUT I DO KNOW BUTT PLUGS. BIRDMAN, WEEZY, DRAKE AND NICKI ALL GOT ME ONE FOR THE TROLLING I DO ON THEIR BEHALF. MY ASS IS WAY WAY WAY WAY MORE READY FOR ALL OF EM THEM NOW.
You must be a rap records executive with all that insider info on ym/cm…
I bet your cried when you heard Exodous, lol (ok that was a little mean, take it lightly)
wow Yessir you really have eaten too many paint chips, Def Jam is losing little to no money on K.R.I.T, dude did his own production and everything and had no promotion, so 50,000 on sales will be actually better than expected for an artist with no radio play.
These are great numbers for both of them especially Krit.Can you imagine what budget Nicki had,probably 7-digits while krit prod. his whole cd.
PLUS NICKI IS SIGNED TO A NIGGA WHO SIGNED TO A NIGGA THAT SIGNED TO THERE NIGGAZ…….i guarantee Krit is seeing MORE MONEY OFF HIS ALBUM than Nicki is….considering he produces is own material
MORE MONEY THAN NICKI? NICKI IS SOING THEM INTERNATIONAL TOURS, SPITTA AND KRIT WILL ONLY GET 50-100 IF THEY TRY TO GO TO EUROPE OR SOMEWHERE.NICKI IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL WHEN IT COMES TO GETTING BREAD.SHES INTERNATIONAL WHILE THEM NIGGAS ARE HOOD ONLY
@ DK….Its not about how much money you MAKE….its about HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU GOT TO SPLIT IT WITH. before Nicki sees a dime….UNIVERAL EXECS GET A CUT….SLIM AND BABY GET A CUT….THEN LIL WAYNE GETS A CUT…and her manager gets a cut….then she gets bread. Meanwhile big krit is produced is WHOLE ALBUM…and wrote the songs….he does not have to share that much money. GET IT?
I know these guys are trolls but please STFU. Live From The Underground isn’t even his best work this year, yet it is better than everything YMCMB has released since it began.
4 LETTERS. STFU.
LOOOL you guys talk like you see any of the money Nicki, Wayne, Drake etc are making.
two wack ass nigga flopped. lamo. Weezy, Nicki and Drake are da best sellin rappers aka da best rappers alive. swag
I like your sarcasm
best selling rappers of all time:
2pac
The Notorious B.I.G.
Eminem
Jay-Z
Outkast
Beastie Boys
Will Smith (LMAO) hes done better sales in a few albums than Wayne did in his whole career.
Nelly
50 Cent
Snoop Dogg
Lil Wayne’s highest selling album still hasnt sold as much as Jay-Z’s highest selling albums or Kanye’s. and 2pac’s best selling albums came out without digital downloads. so no, Wayne, Drake, and Young Money are not the best selling rappers of all time. When Wayne sells over 80 million worldwide like Eminem then get back to me, faggot
nigga even Ice Cube sold more records than Lil Wayne lmao
TO ANYBODY THINKS DEF JAM IS HAPPY WITH 40K IN SALES YOU DONT KNOW THE BIZ. KRIT MIGHT GET ONE MORE CHANCE ON DEF JAM AND IF HIS NUMBERS LOOK LIKE THIS AGAIN HE WILL BE OUT ON THE STREET
and he can make his paper independently
I GUESS WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT THESE ALBUMS ARE FLOPS, SO LETS MOVE.
#5LETTERS
YMCMB have the record sales, but what they don’t have is any classics. K.R.I.T.’s got 4 now. SO ICY BOI!!!!!!!!!
goodmusic you forgot to add bone thugs on that list
Considering the promo for both of these records I would say those are ok numbers. If def Jam wanted Krit to move more units they should have push this project a lil harder doesnt even seem like def jam put much effort into his release. Plus Krit doesnt have any real singles. Which def jam prob pick the tracklist
Def Jam pick these singles for Krit. Krit should have had a song like the vent, hometown hero, highs and lows, yesterday, as his single.
Seems if def jam didnt want to take a risk by pushing big krit, which is a mistake on their part, he is easily the most talented rapper on def jam, But people that dont listen to his mixtape prob think he is just another rapper when they hear his singles
THAT AINT RIGHT
I agree with goodmusic the hottest rappers of today dont compare to legends like big, pac, bone thugs, jay z, and em. Wayne is not selling the way pac or bone thugs sold. Wayne albums sale a mill the first week and takes another yr and half just to get to 2 mill
What’s funny to me is that J Cole is no better then either of these dudes but he sold like 200k or something first week. That’s that light skinned privilege. lol All the little white girls bought J Cole’s album. smh
It has nothing to do with light skinnedness. Wayne is dark and pushes the most units first week (even though he’s wack). Cole just had much more exposure than KRIT. The problem with these idiots on these hip hop websites is that they are just feenin for albums that sell under 100k first week just so they can say they “flopped” and only support artists that push 250k and up first week. That’s the problem with hip hop these days, people don’t look for quality, they look for sales. They just look for that bandwagon and hop on it. I think Cole and KRIT have the same potential and both are great rappers that can convey emotion, Cole had a few tracks on his album to try to appeal to a larger audience, funny thing is though, “Work Out” wasn’t even big until after a few weeks after his first week sales. Fuck a single.
KRITS album was probably under shipped. But didn’t expect him to do anything more than 100k. Wish much success to this brotha
I swear they under shipped both of these dudes like a motherfucker. Why do I have to go to 6 different stores to even find this? Of the 6, 4 of them claim to have never even had them. The other was sold out of both, and I was able to scoop LFTU, Stoned, and R.A.P Music from the other. All of these stores had at least 20 copies of fucking Roman Reloaded tho. They really be fucking over these dudes smh
Yeah a lot of dope/new and up and coming artists are undershipped Pain Is Love 2 was also undershipped they could have sold at least 80-100k but radio and the mainstream don’t support real hip-hop.
LOL @ ja rule being a a dope/new up and coming artist
PIL2 is a dope album. Ja is a decent artist at best but PIL2 is his best or at least second best album in his entire career and that should say a lot.
who buys music lol?
People who a) support their favorite artists
b)want their musical opinion to matter
c)want record labels to sign people similar to their favorite artists
d)like collecting music
I do I spend almost 300 a year on music cause I support my artists that put out quality music you good for nothing waste of sperm broke biotch
I do because it’s the right thing to do. I support artists that I admire…..especially when that artists has given away 3 free albums…….LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN……3 Free Albums.

I do
http://www.thissongslaps.com/2012/06/x-o-orange-soda-video/
Hope both these niggas sell 1.000 copies lol
Well.. K.R.I.T. was #1 on iTunes yesterday.. pretty certain he surpassed 1k in minutes
i bet you like 2Chainz
I got both of these albums and they are honestly great but like a few others said here, I feel that these albums were both under shipped. Theres a lot of politics that go into shipments and such, but who knows Krit is signed to Def Jam, I feel that they more than anyone would give Krit his shine.
IT’S ONLY ABOUT THE MUSIC.
Anyone who says KRIT’s album is a flop is fucking retarded. These are pretty good numbers for an artist like KRIT. He’s not mainstream like YM, so you shouldn’t expect big numbers. Besides, these are PROJECTIONS, aka PREDICTIONS, not the actual SALES. The album is a modern day classic that’ll be talked about for years to come. Illmatic sold 60k first week and it’s a classic. Remember,
QUALITY>>>>QUANTITY
anyone have a download link for the two ?? pleaseee & thank you
Take ya broke ass down to the nearest store and pay 9.99 for it you no money having downloading illegal pirating fake duck mouth cheap ass hoe
good numbers
Bloggers killed hip hop..
No other genre of music has as many idiotic, senseless, and retarded comments as rap music
All you new hip-hop fans (15-25 yr olds) have horrible attitudes about life and music. You don’t even discuss the music like we did back in the day when Run DMC, Nas, Wu-Tang, Rakim, Biggy, Pac, etc. was running the game.
ALL you guys do is have your little online race wars and cry about Eminem vs whoever or Jay-Z is illuminate or who’s “real” or not. Worst of all you think there is one way to rap or one style to floss.
You guys are too myopic, boring and ignorant to call yourselves “hip-hop” fans. It was never like this in the 80’s and 90’s. Black and White kids grouped up and pushed for better race relations. We were too smart to suck on the FOX news or CNN teat.
This is what’s frustrating the pioneers of rap music and new well rounded rap artist. You FANS, YOU FANS, have lost ALL perspective..
LOok at this old ass nigga preaching on a c-section. Go back to the 80s grandpa, u wont be missed
dude i am 21 and i dont fuck with commercial hiphop…if you a real hiphop fan you would know not to put everybody in a box
couldn’t agree more.
couldn’t agree more
Kiz, That’s not an accurate evaluation of 15-25 Year Olds hip-hop fans. You can’t feed into stereotypes G, everybody in that age range is not brain dead. I’m 22. I agree with chris36. I was brought up on old school Hip Hop but I do like SOME of the new stuff too. I also feel like 95% of mainstream hip hop is a joke. I barely watch MTV, VH1 and BET B/C they are pushing bullshit excuses for music. I keep my ear into whats going on right now but I don’t listen to it. I listen to OG Rap Because they actually talkin about somethin. I listen to Outkast, UGK, Ludacris, Jay-Z, Common, LL, Pac, B.I.G, N.W.A. Just To Name A Few. You can’t just make wild assumptions like that because they are not true. Age does not determine intelligence.
These are two of the best albums of the year. On top of these masta ace dropped a hot album this week so Tuesday was the best Tuesday so far this year for hip hop fans which these 3 artists are
they do 50k first week but the record label only ships out like 300k copies in the US lol.
the artist have already flopped before release because the labels have no faith in the product selling.
To the people who don’t pay for music but act like fans of an artist just get the fuck out. You’re what’s wrong with hip-hop. I don’t give a fuck if you don’t have money, steal it from your parents or some shit. Find a way to get your hands on some money and buy this album. If you’re a fan and you don’t buy this shit, kill yourself.
Your an idiot . Yeah go steal some money from your parents to buy some rap album lol
So many fake as fans cant pay $10.00 for a cd after you being downloading free music from these artist. Talking about I support the shows. You dont go the shows. Yall just some clowns broke talking about you got money. A great artist is someone you should support this is the reason why a lot of people dont listen to rap anymore. Mainstream rap is garbage. YMCB is garbage. If YMCB reps hip hop why would anyone listen to hip hop.
Drops mic!!
No rapper or record label is getting my money. What a horrible investment lol
I hope they sell well they both been bubbling in the underground a minute.
Thats not bad. Currensy and big KRIT are dope rappers. they deserve to do 100 000k in their first week though.
100,000k = 100,000 X 1000 – 100 Million. Pretty sure that would break a few records.
so much unnecessary Negativity on here. people should learn to keep quite if they dont have anything decent to say. its just a reflection of what kind of person yall are… Sour and limited with regards to perspective.
This is HipHopDX’s Most Wanted Trolls,
*YESSIR=YMCMB stan who constantly dickrides everything Young Money, Cash Money and their associates, types in all caps, and ends every post with “16 LETTERS YMCMB OVOXO MMG WTB”
*YADIG=Basically YESSIR, but with a different name and even dumber.
*So Icy Boi=Grade A retarded troll, dickrides YMCMB, MMG, and every wack rapper in the world, has no respect for hip-hop veterans, and ends every post with “swag.”
*dentaldamboy=another YMCMB dickrider, hates Jay Z a lot.
*Ricky Rozay=a Rick Ross stan who dickrides Officer Ricky (Rick Ross), says every rapper is fake while ignoring the fact that Ross is fake, too, ends every post with “BAWSE!!!!!!!!!!”
*SuperGucciRap=a Gucci Mane stan who calls every rapper that isn’t Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka, Soulja Boy, OJ Da Juiceman, and Lil B wack pop artists while also dickriding Justin Bieber (who happens to be a pop artist himself), ends every post with “It’s Gucci Time!!”
*Rex=a Jay Z stan who dickrides his favorite rapper, hates Nas, really believes Jay won the beef.
*the one Anonymous who’s always on Slaughterhouse articles=constantly disses Slaughterhouse, calling them LAUGHTERHOUSE, always talks about how they’re “flops” and “broke”
*DK=the newest edition of the YMCMB Dickriding Club
There’s more trolls on HipHopDX, but the above are the most wanted.
Most of those are the same people you mouth-breathing retard. And they’re funny because they get puritans worked up and smashing up their keyboards on a practically hourly basis.
50k hahaha
They’ll make more money than your ass.
Only 50 000?! Where are you Real Hip Hop fans now?! You guys are always complaining that the quality of modern day hip hop is garbage and there are no good albums bla bla bla!! Now look you have a guy like Big Krit who gives what you ask for and what do ya`ll do? You turn your back on him, shame on you guys.
I bet if Krit sells that much units most of them will be from his hometown. But wait let me guess, you real Hip Hop fans will probably pirate his album and use one the following 3 excuses:
1. Quality>Quantity
2. The Illmatic example
3. The old Real hip hop doesnt sell only radio pop rap excuse
You guys always dissing other fanbases saying only Gays and 13 yr olds buy their music. But even if thats true atleast they are real fans and support their favourite artists.
Ya`ll dudes should be ashamed always acting the hip hop your guys listen is better than what everyone else listens too. You cant even use that I didnt know excuse so dont even bother
Anyways I feel bad for Krit if he does these numbers, he deserves atleast 150 000 200 000 first week
FUCK REAL HIP HOP FANS
Hip Hop isnt Dead, but it seems the fans are Talib Kweli
What the fuck yo crazy ass talking about. Not just “real Hip Hop” fans like Krit first off and secondly it takes radio play and good promotion to truly sell physical copies of cd but you wouldn’t understand that cause you only see what you want and dont see whats going on behind the scene. 50,000 thousand with no promo or radio play is decent and not all “real Hip Hop” fans like Krit so throw that shit out the window thats generalizing like a mother fucker.
Decent numbers in todays market, probably would have should around 150,000 with good promo and radio play but the radio stations are fucked up. First week sales aren’t everything, I guarantee the sales will pick up, most people prolly dont even know this dropped. Either way their fans will remain loyal.

Hope both these niggas sell 1.000 copies lol.
Yawn. You’re not funny.
