How much were people really expecting Lil Yachty to sell?

Lil Uzi Vert better take note and just keep putting out songs to stream. 

These microwave music dudes don't need to make albums for retail. 
 
although i thought it was mostly wack how is 44k bad compared to yachty's contemporaries

i'd be surprised if Uzi does more than 70-80k

Uzi actually ain't that bad. Listened to his discography the other day. I see why ppl like his music. Not all the way for me though
 
There's a few good Uzi songs. I mess with XO Tour Life pretty heavy

Bout half of that 1017 vs The World was the only thing I've heard from him that didn't make me feel embarrassed to listen to.

Post Malone was def on that wave before he "branched out". He came in the game as a mysterious, dark SoundCloud rapper/singer.

This genre more or less can be called "Late Bloomer-Quiet Storm." These were all guys that were interested musically in rap & r&b....but just couldn't find a way or lane to tell their story. They are all pretty much decent songwriters with limited vocal skills. Cookie cutter rappers with good production with little subject matter and life experience. So they operate in his wheelhouse of early 20s, intocixated first time getting buns/heart broken space. And of course there is a variation within that....but they all have a similar core.

damn this summed it up perfectly

Watching yesterday's episode, Ak started this joint off with some balls in his sac tryna check Joe
 
That's Joe's main prob, it seems, with Ak. He doesn't seem to have a backbone with certain artists and tries to be accepted and play it safe with all his "shoutout to ______" instead of being critical.

Ak comes off as a regular dude and is relatable but he's not smart enough, to me, to really keep up with Joe/anybody who has a above average knowledge of hip-hop/a person with great critical thinking skills
 
He a fan, he tryna be on these _'s good side

Unless it's somebody cool to hate like Wale

That whole PND copying Thug he tried to make was dumb. He's a Drake stan talking about somebody biting. :lol: And PND is Drakes main writer. Too much irony.
 
Akademiks is a follower...that unfortunately is in a position of being an influencer.

His entire brand is built on following trends. Primarily of a demographic that he's considerably older than.

Haven't heard the song but Ak can't defend himself at all. Every time Joe press him about how he feels about something he get the fumbling and stutterin' and repeating himself.

Speaking of ironic Drake and music, that song Portland with Quavo and Scott had me confused how they let Drake on a track about not letting dudes ride waves

The problem with Ak is that when Joe presses him on something he didnt actually say - he doesn't know how to check him back and clarify his stance.

Ak wasn't criticizing PND for sounding like Young Thug. He just mentioned it. Joe was aggressively pressing him about criticizing PND and not Drake when none of that was happening. Then they start arguing about two totally different things with Joe yelling and Ak stumbling everywhere. Makes both of them look bad.

The PND range argument is a perfect example of that.
 
AK doesn't know how to articulate himself well, he has valid points sometimes but it takes him forever to put a complete thought together. Joe just gets impatient and barks on that ***** and which just frustrates him and ***** up his thoughts even more. :lol:

I didn't hear PND ep but ppl on twitter keep saying he's doing his best young thug imitation on Freakin You. He probably saw people saying that on twitter all weekend and just said it in the show like it was an original thought, ***** didn't even know the name of the song. :lol:

I feel like that's exactly what happened. Brought it up thinking it was common knowledge or accepted and forgot Joe don't fool with twitter like that and got exposed.
 
Yeah that sound about right, don't get it twisted tho Joe is a twitter dude as well. He's inspired thousands of corny black dudes on there.

Sometimes tho it kinda seem like he be waiting for him to say one of these twitter hive mind thoughts so he can press him
