Pop Smoke is on pace to have one of the biggest Hip Hop debuts of 2020.
According to HITS Daily Double, the NYC rapper’s posthumous album Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon is estimated to earn around 175,000 to 195,000 equivalent album units. It would mark Pop’s first No. 1 effort.
Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon is also expected to have major success in regards to streaming. HDD is reporting around 200 million streams for Pop’s album, a giant jump form when the “Dior” artist released Meet The Woo 2 in February. That project debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 with roughly 36,000 units earned.
Pop Smoke's Admiration For 50 Cent & The Woos Will Live On Well Past His Death
The album endured a bit of controversy following the rapper’s death in February in Los Angeles. Weeks after Pop’s death, 50 Cent said he would finish and executive produce the album and had plotted a course for not only its release date but featured guests.
“He told his mom, he wanted to take her to a award show. So I’m gonna make sure his album gets her there,” 50 wrote in March about SFTSAFTM and fulfilling a promise to Pop’s mother.
In total, the 19-track album from Pop features a who’s who of highly touted Hip Hop favorites including Quavo, Lil Baby, DaBaby, Future, Roddy Ricch and others. Even after the controversy surrounding the Virgil Abloh designed album art, fans have not only championed 50’s efforts in getting the album released, but how he managed to honor Pop’s legacy as well.
We all know that curtis jackson bought 150k copies. 50 cent ripoff actually sold just 50k copies. Ross still wins
ross pooped himself with a woman in bed
no he didnt
He admitted it in his book (that sold way less and wasn’t nearly as successful as any of 50s New York times best selling books.
Its not like you haven’t shat the bed once even as an adult. Everyone does it. Even 50. And Ross’s biography sold more than 50’s books.
this isn’t really hiphop when
1. 50 cent is producing it.
2. Pop is literally in your stage name.
This is just another wack pop album while mmg keeps it to true hiphop.
That’s the way it ought to be! Salut to the man Fif for carrying on with Pop’s legacy. He’s making it possible for his family and his fans to triumph in the face of the tragedy that took his life away and those behind it.
