J. Cole or Wiz Khalifa?

Re: J. Cole or Wiz Khalifa?

Lol at Cole doing 250k. Fan bases don't = a lot of sales. Look at this way. Wiz had the biggest record of last year, and early this year. At the time of his release he had nearly like 2 mill twitter followers, like over 5 mill on fb, etc. He has the bitch vote, every bitch in this country is obsessed with Wiz. He also has the white vote, white ppl love Wiz. With that, he only did like 200k the first week, which is good. Now look at Cole. He can't even get a popping single. He has maybe like 500k followers, etc. Not as many ppl are obsessed with him. You need a popular record in rotation to do 250k in the first week. And smh at Roll Up not being a big record, that shit is like a top 20 billboard hit, and double platinum.

Obviosuly, Coles album will be WAY better, but he ain't doing 250k the first week.

You sound like a genius with that second sentence.

Quit playing the race card as well, makes you sound ignorant.

Reality of it is, having the white vote=more sales...whether you like it or not.

Re: J. Cole or Wiz Khalifa?

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.

This is the point I'm making exactly. Cole is obviously the better artist, but there's no way he sells as much. Wiz has had multiple hits, and has every kid in the nation running around screaming Taylor Gang or _______.
