    1. This is not good. IMO he is the 2 nd best in the tde the most marketable behind Kendrick. Tde didn’t put any effort into pushing this album

    2. “between 14,000 and 17,000 albums its first week in stores”

      what a shame ! 90059 is one of the best album I’ve heard for the last few years.

      Jay Rock just delivered a masterpiece. Beats and lyrics were 5/5 to me. He should sell between 100,000 and 200,000 copies its first week.

      Even Asap Rocky with his transgender demeanor did better numbers. The fuck is wrong with hip-hop these days ??!

    3. Those numbers will increase. I’m guessing the stats are based on presales because the album was released Friday. As far as the criticisms of TDE not pushing the record like some may have expected, I feel fans will support it as soon it’s available. Why lessen the bottom line to market to those who are unfamiliar? The album is completely bananas and will catch on. Section 80 didn’t sell 100K in the first week but did great indie in the long run.

    4. The album was garbage anyways, which is where most of TDE is at these days. I’m only holding out hope that Schoolboy Q doesn’t follow that fuckboy shit and actually produces something comparable to his last one.

      1. Wtf brah get off yo drake non hip h op shit and keep listening to the radio brah real music for real folks ….TDE= Real Hip Hop

    5. I’m not surprised because Jay Rock isn’t marketable. He has too many things working against him. He is a dark skinned, gangster/non-hipster rapper, who isn’t validated by white people like Kendrick or Kanye. He also doesn’t have much of a personality for people to latch onto. In this era you have to be the opposite of those things, or you will not succeed. You won’t do well just by making good music. I know it’s sad, but that’s reality. In the 90’s or early 2000’s he would have had a better shot. I’m not impressed

      1. Jay Rock got far more promotion while stalley had a limited release and gunplay’s album got hardly any promotion from def jam.

      2. I love how anytime your favorites underperform, you use eier the limited release excuse or the little promotion excuse. None of those are true. Stalley did not have a limited release, it was always available like all records. Gunplay got plenty of promo from Def Jam. Jay Rock gotless promo than both Stlleyand Gunplay.

    6. I went to go buy it at Target and they didn’t have it (They don’t have Compton the Soundtrack either) I still like to own the physical cd, I will pick it up at the same indie record store I bought “Compton” and I just want to say to all the Drake, Meek Mill, Rick Ross fans and all other fudge packing rappers i.e. French, Fetty, Future go blow yourselves and have a BLAST!

    7. i’m shocked to a degree. Ppl were waiting or @ least we thought. This day & age of hip hop, where constantly is key, don’t think Jay Rock shoulda release the album. Do you think Meek woulda sold that amount if he waited four years. I was expecting 100k 1st week
