Last week saw the release of a number of Hip Hop projects from the likes of EST Gee/42 Dugg, Fivio Foreign, Vince Staples, Coi Leray, Wiz Khalifa and more. Naturally, the competition between fan bases jumped to sales numbers, all of which are projected to fall below the 30,000 total album-equivalent sales mark for the first week.
Trippie Redd took to his Instagram Story on Thursday (April 14) to clown the “C-list” rappers’ sales numbers, who he dubbed the “Avengers of trash.” The group, of course, includes his ex-girlfriend Coi Leray, who is projected to sell 11,000 first-week, so the Ohio native had no issue laughing it up at her expense.
“I need all the C-list rappers — we bout to create the Avengers of trash n-ggas,” he said. “N-gga, we gon’ sell what? If we all put our 30,000 first week together, we gonna make a milli, n-gga!”
In Trippie’s case, at least his numbers back up his claims. The “Dark Knight Dummo” rapper hasn’t sold less than 50,000 first-week for any of his projects and his most recent, 2021’s Trip At Knight, debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 81,000 total album-equivalent sales.
Trippie Redd just re-signed with 10K Projects for a lucrative deal. In March, Elliot Grainge confirmed that Trippie is back with the label after the rapper claimed to ink a contract for $30 million.

“Just signed to @elliot for 30million,” Trippie wrote alongside a photo with a Juice WRLD figurine before teasing his forthcoming A Love Letter to You 5 mixtape. “Now it’s time to start droping ALLTY5 Songs.”
Ain’t he transgender anyways. That’s why his albums be selling like that lol
I still down understand why people are paying for shit thats free on the internet. In my youth, you had no choice but to buy the CD or at least the bootleg from a barbershop for 5 bucks. Now yall can get the shit free and yall making these clowns rich. Probally not as rich as they want you to believe, but still.
Can you not afford to pay for music dude? It’s really not expensive. And lol, bootleg from a barbershop? Lol it’s 2022 bro, get with it. Rather pay for it than ruin my computer trying to get it for free dumbass.
I ne er did pay for music bro. Im not a headphome guy. I play it in the car so mp3 is perfect. I paid for plenty of CDs when I was younger. Then I got smart. I said to myself, why am I making these guys rich when their shits on the internet for free. Yeah I bought a few bootlegs but before I knew it, I was burning my own mix cds weekly and giving the old ones away. If you get viruses your firewall must suck.
Yeah but then the industry dies if nobody buys the music. You listen to these dudes and don’t give them anything in return, you’re a leach. You’re supposed to bootleg when you’re younger and then realize you’re doing more damage and then you support the artist as you get older and wiser. What a clown.
industry been dead do u listen to these weirdos its dr suess n mumble mumble mumble autotune cuz they cantsing on pitch aside from krit nip n im sure a few others but u can support direct buyin merch aint no quality coming from fruity loops soundcloud n youtube
Sure but people who arent selling arent gonna have the bigger platform to sell the merch. Even if they have a shitty record deal you are taking away a stream of revenue by bootlegging their shit.
i dont care I have enough music to last a lifetime im not contributing to some fat old wh ite bald dude cokenhooker habit, im not contributing to some iliterate junkie drop outs iced out chain when they could be doin free breakfast programs im good im never payin 4 anything i can get for free, thats the profession they chose
Lmaooo my man said bootleg from a barbershop. Next he’ll be saying how candy bars cost a nickel in his day lol.
man my barbershop has the best bootlegs sells 32gb microsd cards for 20 with all the newest tv n movies from the night before all the way up to the 512gb for 100 n still rocks dvds 3 for 5 dont know what u talkin bout

When an artist records a song in the studio its in a wav file. When you buy a cd from the store its in a wav file. When you burn a cd at home its in an mp3 file. an mp3 file is watered down and not as good as the original wav file. Therefore store bought CDs are king. Youtube is mp3 and by settling for mp3s youre missing out on phat bass and really bumping your shit. You may not care but youre probably someone who settles for ugly girls too.
He is trolling coi for sure. If sum of u don’t remember he dated her a few years back and seeing as her album had low first week stats, then he prolly gonna troll her. Made a song (maybe two idk) about her on ALLTY4. “C-List” may be a shot at Coi too. Or he just trollin for fun. Idk
I’m from Holland. We eat moldy cheese and wear wooden shoes, so fuck you.
Back in my day, we couldn’t afford to pay for music. We had to freestyle outside the barbershop for spare change! You young whipper snappers are spoiled!
