Big K.R.I.T. “Cadillactica” First Week Sales Projections

    Big K.R.I.T.’s Cadillactica album is slated to sell between 35,000 and 40,000 copies its first week in stores, according to HotNewHipHop

    That would put it on pace to sell slightly less than the Mississippi rapper’s 2012 album, Live From The Underground. That project moved 41,000 copies its first week in stores.

    Big K.R.I.T. is in the midst of his Pay Attention Tour, which is slated to conclude Saturday (November 15) at Masquerade in Atlanta.

    In August, he discussed the tour.

    “I am excited to get on the road,” Big K.R.I.T. said at the time. “This tour will give fans a little taste of what is to come. I am traveling with a message, a message about our culture-where we were and what we have come to. I want to make sure people are paying attention to what is happening in their lives and in Hip Hop today.”

      FUTURE – Honest : 118,000

      It should be noted that Eminem still outsold them all with over 500k copies of MMLP 2 sold this year so far.

    2. KRIT isn’t that big of an artist, so those numbers were expected (for those about to come on here screaming “flop”). I’m halfway through the album, and so far, I can say it’s definitely a better album than LFTU.

    3. Truth be told, Big Krit should be selling as much as J Cole. He’s just as good or better, but he doesn’t benefit from that light skin privilege. lol Dark skinned dudes have to be a hipster or nerd in these times, or whites aren’t going to buy their shit. Sad, but true.

    4. With low ass numbers like that WHAT THE FUCK HE’S SIGNED TO DEF JAM FOR THEN?????? Hell, Independent artist sell more than that and Krit puts the GRIND in. Dude dropped 4 mixtapes that were ALBUM (RETAIL) Quality. He’s doing all he can BUT DEF JAM IS DROPPING THE BALL…QUIT HOLDING YA’LL NUTTS ON HIM AND PUT MONEY BEHIND HIS PROJECT

      1. I don’t agree with that. This project has been EVERYWHERE lately. Every hip-hop site I go to (especially this one) has been covering this album for months now…

    5. Honestly .. I think Big KRIT made one major wrong move .. He went on Tour and opened up for Macklemore thinking he can translate to that audience, but the reality is that Macklemore doesn’t have any “real fans” only Pop music bandwagon fans and Talib Kweli is BEYOND wack these days .. how awful does that tour sound now .. Talib and KRIT opening up for Macklemore ?!?! LOL .. I think those months were wasted when instead he could have been making Country Cousins or continued to build the right story for himself

      1. I’m not a fan of Macklemore but he was playing concerts in decent size venues many years ago. Of course his pop success blew up his show size, but he was already out-touring middle tier rappers at that point and selling tickets.

      2. “the reality is that Macklemore doesn’t have any “real fans” only Pop music bandwagon fans ”

        dont be stupid, he had a big fan base before you ever heard his name, you cant be aa youring artist without a job for a decade without having fans support you

      3. Whatever .. Fine he HAD “underground hip hop” fans .. but then please go re-read his “1-Year Letter” and how he basically blasted that same Underground that had once supported him .. Truth is after choosing a path like “Same Love” .. capitalizing on the BS “Independent” tag .. promoting “Anti-Consumerism” while cashing checks from Brands .. and so many more foul tactics for quick $ and buzz — there’s no way to get that Respect back .. You sold out in the worst way and didn’t have to do it that way .. Macklemore can go hide for a year or 2 and very soon will start to try and re-build the Hip Hop street cred, but it will NOT work .. Any one that works with Macklemore from now on is going to be exposed as another puppet in it for $ and not for the Love of Music .. I’m thankful that KRIT recovered from this mistake, but the after effects are quite clear .. Look at the Seahawks LOL .. I mean look — I fully understand people that like what they like and I get that Macklemore has found his lane, but what he has done is DIRTY and he clearly knows it (K-Dot text message incident) .. and at this point, there’s a lot of people around him that are jumping into .. but it’s too late .. there are too many talented Artists out and anyone that believes in the pureness of what Music stands for won’t accept the path that Macklemore took and thus can never take his Music seriously as anything more than puppeteered Pop ..

    6. Love the KRIT album but this nigga is desperate for a radio single to sell. He’s dropped consistent southern gems but needs that crossover hit with a Ceelo or Andre3K push him mainstream. Maybe this nigga needs to sign to GOOD Music and get a Kanye cosign or some bullshit. Fuckin Drake and Wayne outsellin this nigga… SMH

    7. How many t-shirts, concert tickets, and $100 vinyl packages and stuff is he selling? What, you think the $1-2 CD sales matter more?
