They're including the physical copies, 290K digital and the other 100-150K is physical copies. So around gold first week, solid numbers.

As a whole I wasn't too impressed with this album, but Ye's verse on "New Day" has nestled itself into my personal "Top 10" verses from the guy...

It's not just the meaning that is lame... Though the fact that Amber Rose went on the guy's show does not make it a clever or appropriate line. I'm not sure what it has to do with the movie Crow Zero or why referring to Russell Westbrook is nice either (his name is Russell too? No way WOW!). Either way a bunch of random references to not equate to any valuable meaning.Originally Posted by AIRJORDAN JB23
There's a deeper meaning behind those lines though...
The whole Russell thing relates to Amber since she went on the show after the breakup. The 0, 0, 0 thing relates to Russell because of Russell Westbrook (#0), Crow Zero (movie), & of course his bank account
The whole Currency line refers to money & then the diss towards Wiz since Wiz has been saying Curren$y is ahead of him... So he's after money while Ye has it.
I was more referring to how bad it sounds in terms of flow/rhyme to just repeat the name of a bunch of Russells or to say "zero zero zero a whole lotta os"... We as rap fans know the sounds of the verse matters just as much as the meaning and that just sounds terrible.
And other people have covered in this thread how much of a reach it is to say that has anything to do with dissing Curren$y the rapper... but believe what you like if it helps you enjoy that awful verse.

Nah, man. As much as I would love for that to happen, letting the physicals release so late during the week isn't gonna help them break a milli.
Now pushing gold their first week is/would be

Yea...and he saved his verse on Murder to Excellence (the Excellence part)...it started off pretty bad. Like...whenever you spell "top" out in a verse...you know...like, you shouldn't do that. He got it back though.
I really enjoy the album though.

What does Jay mean when he says "Do you know who I am Clarice?" in Murder To Excellence? Is that another clothing line?
On another note, only thing I don't really like about the album is all the high end artists/designer dropping. Had to google all of them, lol. The "average joe" which I suppose make up most of their fans don't really care about that stuff. I guess they're dropping knowledge, cuz now I know...lol.
