2 Chainz is on the heels of the release of his second studio album, B.O.A.T.S. II and has been promoting it ever since.
Recently sitting down with The Breakfast Club, the Atlanta rapper talked about his latest project and the album sales that come with it.
“Of course I care. I’m still gon’ grind it out. If it does 50k, I’ll probably be mad as hell and do something like buy another car, make myself feel better,” He said when asked about album sales. “But at the same time, I know it’s a race and if anybody know me, it’s hard to really get me down, get me discouraged. I’m very optimistic.”
2 Chainz was also asked about one of the hottest topics of the last week, Gucci Mane’s Twitter rant and subsequent drop from Atlantic Records.
“I don’t expect nothing less from him,” 2 Chainz replied with asked about his southern counterpart. “That’s my dawg. … This probably made him feel better, airing it out, embarrassing a few people. It didn’t bother me at all, straight up.”

If your shit sells 50k you don’t need a new car, you need a new job.
Why would he need a new job if his shows constantly get sold out? Bad record sales suck, but guess what? Artists mainly make their money from shows. Record sales really only benefit the record label that’s pushing the album.
Nope.
Chance of him getting dropped
wat lloyd said is true unless ur independent. all independent artist are makin hella gwap from album sales cuz they make more then artists on majors
WORD!!
I do not believe that BOATS 2 will sell just 50k copies, especially on the heels of the gold selling first album, which sold 147k opening week last year. How the fuck do you go from 150k to just 50k? Im thinking there’s a typo and that it sold 250k copies are something.
HitsDailyDouble said he was gonna do 50k and they’re always accurate with their predictions.
I know what HitsDailyDouble said. I just think they are far off. You cant go from 150k to 50k in a year while being more popular than ever. Im thinking there’s some typo.
Nah.
hes not more popular than ever
he only sold that much before because of drake
^^^^ yep drake = album sales
LOL that is a pretty epic fall off from 150k first week to 55k first week! he shoulda called drake or wayne for single
He did, he has them both featured on the new album. SMH!!
Times have changed. Everybody’s sales drop each year.
J.cole’s went up.
…I’m guessing he didn’t see the part of Gucci’s rant that said Fuck 2 Chainz?
Cause his bitch ass shit scared of me , n that’s Real nigga
FLOCKA
Gucci retweeted somebody that said he was hacked. Somehow the hacker tweeted exactly like him, spelling shit terribly, putting periods where they’re not supposed to go, and just tweeting shit that didn’t make sense.
Welcome to America!! You are a SLAVE. You measure success by money not happiness!! You are chattel!!
As a recording artist on YMCMB known as Noel Fisher aka Detail, I can confirm that Rich Gang sold 10 billion copies worldwide while Nas’s whole discography was overaccounted.
get a life you dimwitted cunt..and get off YMCMB’s dick
PIL2 15 million sold
Renaissance Project projected to sell 20 trillion
Ja Rule to save the US he will end the debt
bow down to the RULE
^^ i cannttt.
The hilariousness of these comments…
50k first week? Another flop like french dicktana and lil sean
Nigga dont fuck around with Gucci he will beat your wackass up.
As a bitchass young money groupie with no accounting experience or recording experience, I can confirm that rich gang sold no album copies.
I still don’t believe BOATS 2 will sell only 50k copies. And he doesn’t just have hits with drake. He had the wiz khalifa collaboration from fast and furious 6, and his classic, different. One thing I love about 2 chainz is that he reminds me of jay z before he fell off. im thinking there’s a typo and that it actually sold 250k copies.
Please tell me that’s a joke.
collabos dont mean the shit gon sell me i think hes wack as hell hope he neva sell i cant see how he got a deal fuck him fuck him
PERIODS MUTHAFUCKA! USE THEM!
Dear GOD,
Can you please give us back: Biggie, Big L and Big Pun?
We will give you back:
– 2chainz,
– whole ymcmb crew
– whole mmg crew
– big sean
– 50 cent
– riff raff
– all the old ass rappers trying to be relevant nowadays
– evry rapper from the south
I think this is a fair deal.
50 cent? gtfoh
rap is not a sport age don’t matter
What about Pac and Eazy? You seem to love rappers with ‘Big’ in their names. You must love big dicks in you as well.
people who write comments like this are faggots i bet he dont got 1 big l or big pun album
Big L sucked.
he got a few classic tunes
He might only sell 50k in the first week but he should finish at about 250k.
which is less than half of what his last album did, not a good look
If 3 chainz is more popular now than 2012, why is he doing poorly with his latest album?
hes not more popular though why you think he is?
he peaked when he had no lie out no one really checking for him he played himself out doing all them verses for people
Like I said before, Im convinced theres a typo and that it will sell 250k opening week. Also, he had a huge hit with different, a solo. College kids bump to it everyday.
they wouldnt make a typo twice. the first projections said 55-65k then they lowered it to 55-60k
HIS NAME IS NOT 3 CHAINZ
“Why would he need a new job if his shows constantly get sold out?”
The album is what drives people to the shows. If the album flops that means people are starting to get tired of 2 Chainz.
you would never say that about Ross or his MMG weed carriers though and they all sold less than 2 chainz last album!!!
Naw, people download the album… which would cost u 9-11 bucks, they like it…they drop 50-100 on a show ticket… understand?

“The album is what drives people to the shows. If the album flops that means people are starting to get tired of 2 Chainz.”
^ nope
-you can’t prove people only go to a show to hear your latest music
-you can’t prove people are getting tired of the music just because of sales
So when Ross didn’t sell as much on DTR, it meant people were getting tired of him?
Your an artist…you want the fans buying 50=100 dollar show tickets, or a 9.99 album?

“they wouldnt make a typo twice. the first projections said 55-65k then they lowered it to 55-60k”
I looked at hitsdailydouble and they did indeed say 255-260k opening week.
nobody moving those type of units this week so cut it out, lol
Im not making it up at all. I looked on hitsdailydouble and they said 2 chainz will sell 260k this week.
naw you’ll see on wednesday
hes at 48k as of now
smh, gotta be a squad of 12-15 yr olds here, all just want to be trolls. sad
Hits Daily Double did say 260k.
No, they didn’t, dentaldambitch.
Yeah they did confused hater. It’s 3 Chainz by the way.
HITSDAILYDOUBLE GOT HIM AT 49,832 RIGHT NOW. NOT LOOKING GOOD HOME BOI!!!!
