Kendrick Lamar to put the West Coast back on, Sales Projections

Posted by Tendai Chisvo On 16:11


Compton’s good kid is having a great sales week already. Kendrick Lamar’s debut good kid, m.A.A.d city just hit stores yesterday, but already chart pundits are predicting huge first-week numbers.

According to HITS Daily Double, Kendrick is slated to push more than 200,000 copies of his debut, which would easily put him in the top 5 on the Billboard 200.
The critically-acclaimed album, which features the single “Swimming Pools (Drank)” and collaborations with Dr. Dre and Drake, holds the No. 2 spot on iTunes overall albums chart.

Compare this to Kendrick’s indie effort Section.80, which peaked at No. 113 in 2011.
While K-Dot’s numbers are impressive, they’re no match for Taylor Swift. The country sweetheart’s album Red is on track to break 1 million copies in its opening week, possibly topping Lady Gaga’s 1.1 million-selling debut for Born This Way in May 2011. Final numbers will be released Wednesday, October 31.

You go get it my nappy headed brethren yup!

“It just let you know that this dude was great and he’ll live forever when you got people that’s willing to go out and spend damn near millions to make a hologram on you. It was just a crazy feeling, made me think of that one moment when I seen dude in real life. When I finally got to see it along with the other hundred thousand people, it was just something that I didn’t think nobody could ever do,” Kendrick said of Dr. Dre’s stunt. “I didn’t even know this dude was thinking up no crazy sh– like that.”


Warren G:

“When I first seen it when we were in rehearsal, it gave me chills,” he said. “I was like, ‘Whoa, wow,’ because it looked like him, it talked like him, it just moved like him, it’s just like, ‘Damn.’ It was a trip.”
