Hate to say I told you so but uhhhh....yeah, I told you soooOriginally Posted by Ace Rawstein
i wanna agree but what kind of surprise are you talking? 100-125k first week would be surprising and shocking to alot of people if u ask me.
Im thinking 50-80k are reasonable expectations.
I mean if Ace Hood can do 30k, Im sure Cole can clear that easy.

That's more than Chris Brown's "F.A.M.E." & Rihanna's "Loud", and Lupe's "L.A.S.E.R.S." first weeks!
Roc Nation/Jay-Z buyin' copies?

Never new Missy had a voice like that. Her voice and J.coles voice work very well on the song, especially when Cole starts going melodic

All places around Akron were pretty much sold out, well deserved for a solid album

Guy at the door at Best Buy mentioned that a lot of people were buying the album. I really doubt Roc Nation bought back copies. The fanbase is just loyal.

115K in a day is good. 225-250K in his first week with all the low expectations is even better

Really don't believe these numbers but good for him. He's MUCH more talented than some of these rappers that are going gold (Wayne, Ross, Nicki and so on)

I hope this creates a trend in letting rappers be they goddamn selves and growing into artist. Good sign for Krit, Kendrick, Etc..... People to this day still say J.Cole is only a lyrical dude and he sold that much
