J. Cole or Wiz Khalifa?

Re: J. Cole or Wiz Khalifa?

You dnt think Cole has 150k fans that will buy his album or 2? Jay will buy 150k of his albums before he let's his prodigy do bad numbers. Pull a bird man haha

I'm not doubting Coles fanbase, because I know how strong it is and how many people want to see him do well, but Wiz DOMINATED the latter half of 2010 and early 2011. He had hit after hit after hit, and still only sold 200k.. unless Cole gains a few #1 singles in the next few months, the album isn't going to do Wiz numbers.

Cole will do 250k. Around this number tbh.

Coles got a good fanbase+ Hov co-signing it. It should do 250 that said no one fucking with TML.

Re: J. Cole or Wiz Khalifa?

I really think you guys are overestimating how many people are willing to actually go out and purchase an album.

Lupe is an established veteran with one of the strongest fan bases in hip hop, and only one of his albums have topped 200k.

Re: J. Cole or Wiz Khalifa?

Lupe also lost a shit load of numbers because of the whole Atlantic saga as well.

Pink Friday did 350ish, I think Cole can easily do 250 .

Nicki Minaj is nearly a household name though..

Re: J. Cole or Wiz Khalifa?

It's completely ludicrous to think Cole will outsell Wiz. IMO Cole is the best rapper in the game right now, but there's no way he sells over 150k.

He can do at least 150k

and Kendrick is the best atm

Kendrick, Cole, KRIT are my top 3. The order really changes a lot for me.

I don't live I America I can comment on that.

I'm just saying Cole will do around 250k, which is awesome in times like this.

Big Sean is projected to sell 95 and Currensy to sell 27k.
The outlook isn't good, but I think he'll do it.

Drake did 450k right, no debuting rapper is coming close to that anytime soon lol.

I'd be very happy if Cole did 250k, I just can't see it happening... hopefully hes buzzing in September.

Drake's buzz was incredible lol, the thing is....Cole deserves it too tbh...

I would be really happy if he'd manage to sell ~250k

Wiz had black and yellow that blew up. Roll up did just ok I don't even hear that on the radio hardly. What's the other hit? Get on my level is the only other song off rolling papers that I've heard on the radio. I see one true hit which was black and yellow and the steelers were dominating and took that as their fight song so it got bigger because of them. That's not domination....radio speaking...which I think is the case we are talking. Not saying his album is close to being bad but he didn't dominate radio with rolling papers.

I'm not saying Cole has done any better on the radio tbh besides who dat and higher. Work out will help him with that no doubt. But Cole is not a super radio friendly artist. It's not his style. He never will be like that. And if I remember correctly a lot of wiz fans lost respect for wiz because his album was too radio friendly. You can't tell me the best wiz song comes anywhere close to Coles average stuff lyrically.

If your basing how good an artist is on the number of CDs and singles they sell that's fine. But last time I checked Nas is a better than 50 Cent and he never sold a mil first week. Illmatic is one of the best albums of all time in any genre especially rap and it only sold 59000 first week and took 2 years to go platinum. That being said I would rather Cole take 2 years to go platinum than make a mil every time talking about irrelevant shit with a good beat.
