Same people crying over Distant Relatives flopping DL the album

[ikke]

I'm not in America, my purchase doesn't matter

[Lunatic]

It's hard to call 60K first week a flop nowadays although I did expect it to sell a little more than that. 80K would 1st week would have been my guess. Sales are bad though, and this is no flop. It could have done at least 10-15K more with some more TV/Radio promo. The video came out too late, picked the wrong single, no radio play, etc. They put A LOT of stock into just internet marketing.

lol @ blamin people for rappers sales bein low

it flopped?

what it sell?

hahahaha yeah its the animals' fault

[BOX5 the best poster on this site yell]

A lil wayne feature probably doesnt cost much he works with everyone.Anybody could get a verse from him.

it ain't about how much he cost to feature it's just the fact that he's on the album and the kids today think he's god, they should put that song out as a single next and use studio footage of wayne and all that type of shit yell

Production isn't as fresh as many of you believe.

Nas sounds old and tired.  At least he was flowing again.

Content is really hit or miss.  Some truth, some misinformation.

^^^ This shits on the majority of Nas' usual production though, duke just doesn't have an ear for beats

duke just doesn't have an ear for beats

i can see the argument for that; but i think he just chooses beats that fit his style.

old school East Coast beats are just him; not saying he can't spit over other shit, but that works for him.

Are you saying old school east coast beats aren't dope? lol. Him liking a certain style of beats isn't a reason for him choosing shitty versions of those style of beats. He just has a shitty ear 50% of the time, it is what it is. He does try to branch out so its not just the NY state of mind hes stuck in, think "Hero" "Hustlers" and that shitty track with Chris Brown...

Nas just needs to knuckle down and make that classic with Preme we're all waiting on

Okay, that doesn't mean much to comment.  So, Nas has a shitty ear for beats and his albums reflect that.  It doesn't mean this production is as fresh as all of you believe.

Y'all just hyped that Damian provided material you think is better for Nas.

[blunts40sbitches]

The whole album is produced by Damian Marley, so I expected the album to sound the way it did.......overall, I think its a great album, I bump every song (except for the first one) throughout, especially Nah Mean, Damian kills that shit!!!
