[OFFICIAL] Tha Carter V Discussion Thread

there is literally no way C5 goes a milli first week. not due to promo or anything, a milli in 2014 is just impossible for a hip hop artist first week. If he did 650K that would be VERY impressive.

exactly. things have changed since '08, and '11. shit gets leaked wayyyy more. internet grows more & more each year.

lol look what happened with Soulja boy sales and his twitter followers.

that's cause Soulja Boy pays for followers with those fake stack's of hundreds he got.

[legendarytunechi]

Wayne has 17.8 million followers on Twitter...

if only 6 percent buy C5 in first week, that's a milli.

he has too many fake followers. most of celebrities buy followers.

[freakjasp]

I'll rather have it pushed back than to have believe me, krazy and grindin on c5.

a push back has nothing to do with this.
c5 might drop on october 28th without any of the songs or it might be pushed back and all of them might be on it.

[YMCMBWAYNE]

Nothin new will appear till the tour is over. I'm feelin they drop a mixtape shortly after.

What do you expect them to do two months before a release?

If they start promoting too early, hype will die and no one will care.

Tez might be camel looking creature, but he ain't stupid.
They will start bigger and better promotion when it's time..
From 0 to 100, hype is right now around 40.. Which is pretty good considering that we are two months before possible release of album..
And hype is rising with every single tour stop, maybe not for you, but for those who go visit that concert.

And why do yall even care how they promote CV?? It's their job not yours.

I don't really care how they promote CV, because promotion isn't what makes album.
If album is 10/10, sales will come themselves, maybe not in first week, but in weeks to come..

Honestly, sometimes no promotion is better than big promotion, I think Beyonce proved that earlier..

they should release a decent single, Shady XV comin black friday and they already started the promotion. No way it drops october 28th, from 0 to hundred hype is 10 right now. and you can't compare wayne and Beyonce, beyonce is pop music artist, she will always sell more. 500k first week C5 if it comes out october 28th, i bet it wont come in november,' 'cause em is releasing his album then, so maybe in mid december, good time to put out an album, christmas will help it reach bigger sales

[joeycmj]

you don't think it will get pushed back?

honestly, I don't think it will get pushed back. Wayne has had so much time on this album & he's recorded so many songs for it. so if it does her pushed back, I'll honestly be surprised.

Decent single? Wayne hasn't dropped a bad song/verse whole year.
A mainstream single will come when the time is right mate..

Em can promote as much as he wants, that Shady XV will never outsell MMLP2.. MMLP2 sold nicely cuz it was Ems comeback (once again) and because of the album name..

Hype for you is 10 right now, but YMCMB doesn't care about your or me mate, we are from Europe, they care about US sales, and right now hype for Wayne album in US is pretty damn good in every single city they stopped for tour.. That's what they care about and thats what they should care about.

Yeah, Beyonce will sell more anytime, but that's not a point.. Wayne is just as big in hiphop as Beyonce is in pop..
Pop does get more sales regardless of who is the artist.. So again that's not important..

And C5 will sell more than 500k first week whenever it comes out.. Trust me, when album release gets close.. Hype will be off the roof, and people only need little to get em hyped to buy stuff, so with perfect timing, it can sell well..

It's too early for a big promotion mate.. October 28th is pretty far.

agree with you in every point except the point with the singles.
the only good single was believe me, and that was the worst song imo.
not saying the songs are bad but they are not good as single, you can see that in the charts.
but again, we can't be sure that the " singles" we got are the real singles for c5 until we get the tracklist...

lol was joking when i said c5 wouldn't get pushed back because of that
of course you can't compare the promotion for a young money compilation album to the promo for c5.
