Jay Rock vs Glasses: Who will sell better?

[Rickdeeznutz]

With two New West albums dropping in a month, who album will sell more? And why? Whos album will be better?

[Rickdeeznutz]

I know sales dont matter, fuck sales blah blah.....Sales do matter if u want that artist to drop  another cd.....So who u ghink will do better in sales? Jay Rock  5,8000

[Okka]

I gotta say Jay Rock. Glasses Malone's buzz is long gone, if there ever was a buzz. How much did his collabo album with Mack 10 sell?

[D-Nice]

At this point I would have to say Jay because outside of a couple videos here and there, there has been 0 promo for Glasses' album. Almost seems like he was just given a date so he can just drop the album already.

[Greenbrigade]

They'll probably sell about the same.

[RingMan]

Money Music didn't get to Top 200 albums, so I guess Beach Cruiser will do less, around 5000

Yeah that's my thought as well. I actually copped money music couple weeks back and there some bangers on there m, but also a lot of duds, hope glasses album is dope though I don't see it being as good as rocks

[Simply_818]

yeah I agree with some of the other posters about them both selling about the same and not much promo for G. U would think that G would have somewhat of a push being that CM is behind him. But G has a few heaters that I recalled from the snippets I heard a few weeks ago. Regardless, I supported Rock, I'll be supporting Game and I'll be supporting Malone. Now if I could just get a studio album from Nipsey!

[LAC/EASTSIDE]

They should do an album together. That track "Dollaz Make Sense" was sick.

[KC-HOODSTA]

dogg hardly anybody outside of cali knows glasses malone

[Maully aka [Fitted Da Boss]]

Not feelin glasses I really tried 2...but jus don't like em the last song I actually bumped of his was 200, 300, and dinero...lol and those r old

I think it's coming out on the same day as Wayne so maybe they're thinking if the set G's cd next to Wayne's, it will get people to buy it.

[Dikteta Dax]

Jay Rock will push way more at the end of the day then Glasses.  Jay Rocks album is nice but I'm sure glasses shit will be nice to.  But a lot of old tracks (even though there sick) might hurt him and the lack of promo.

Still trying to understand why there is no Drake, Nicki Minaj & Tyga collabs on Glasses album, that could of gave him the push he needed...

[Chamillitary Click]

The real question should be will the combined sales reach 10,000?

[Jimmy H.]

I'm gonna say Glasses Malone because I think he'll have a better outlet. He's doing Suburban Noize / Cash Money. If his CD ends up in the Best Buy flyer with a first week sale tag and end cap space, he's in there. Jay Rock's album did not ship to a whole lot of places and there wasn't a huge incentive to buy it unless you were a fan. Saigon came out through Suburban Noize and did about 11,000 units on the first week. But his shit was end-capped at Best Buy with a price tag of under $10. FYE had a deluxe edition on that album for around the same price. These are incentives for an impulse buy. $14 is a lot for a CD on a new artist. Especially when the average consumer is thinking, it will either be cheaper or around the same price if I wait a week or go look at another store. If i didn't specifically want that album on the first day it dropped, I would not have put down $14 but I was a fan of dude.

So that's why I hold off on calling this album a flop. As I said before, independent labels work differently than majors.
