Well 1) No one knew of Tyga's affiliation with Wayne lol. 2) Wayne wasn't even on the album lol. And i've put chics on to Trey'smixtapes. Fact is, he didn't just start doing mixtapes. I've heard mixtapes from him before I even heard his debut album.Originally Posted by imINchucks5

He doesn't have any hit records. They may play his @@% on Hot 97 but around the country his singles are doing pedestrian. LOL Smiley Face willeventually do better but as of right now its not a certified hit. And not to mention having a hit single doesn't mean a successful album. Trey been puttingin work from DAY 1. Now its just paying off? I see the argument for why Trey sold more I just don't believe it. Not with the timing of Drake's buzz.

I don't think Drake does 1 million his firs week but at the same time i'm not shocked if he does. But to your question if Drake only does 300k do Istill think he had a impact on Ready? Yea. Right now there's a fanbase out there just feening for Drake's music. Doesn't matter where. I mean downhere they're playing the whole damn So Far Gone mixtape on the radio damn near. Just because its Drake. Trey got a fanbase. I just think his sales on hisown without the Drake affiliation would be 90-100k just like the rest of his albums despite not having a top 15 hit in Can't Help But Wait. I think theDrake affiliation gave him a good 40-50k in sales just because Drake's name is on the album.

I gotta make it- 45k first week
Trey Day - 90k First week
Ready - 135k first week
every album he has improved...if gotta make it was 90k first week just like trey day was, then u could kinda say Drake was a huge reason.
but imo i just think hes matured as an artist and has gained a lot of fans every album
Trey Day - 90k First week
Ready - 135k first week

do you really think trey's open endorsement and friendship with the biggest new artist has NOTHING to do with the fact that he just saw his biggest firstweek sales ever? the album is dope and he deserves those numbers but this isn't a coincidence. i'm sure the label told trey to take advantage of hisrelationship with drake once he blew up like that anyway.. this is a business at the end of the day.

Ready sold 45k more than Trey day, but yall said thats mainly cause of Drake.
Trey day sold 45k more than gotta make it. So which new artist helped trey with thatextra 45k on trey day? because that extra 45k looks fishy

Ya'll kill me. I swear
Trey's increase in sales does not have as much to do with Drake as ya'll think. He's appeared on numerous hook/features, dropped a couple of verygood mixtapes, and because of that has built a fanbase. To add to that females find him *pause* visually appealing *pause again* and to keep it real, son cansing.
Taking into account the girls I know who bought Ready, none of them listed his affliation with Drake as a reason.

His first album didn't have any hit singles on it when it dropped. It dropped with no buzz. Nobody was checkin' for Trey at that time soof coures his first week sales are going to be improved on his sophomore album over his debut. Didn't his debut do like 20k its first week?
I think technically it was a Young Money a album. It has the Young Money label on the cd. I never took it serious because they dropped that albumthe same day as Carter 3 lol. They sent him out there to fail. Definately doesn't have any Young Money influence on it though.Originally Posted by H TOWN HUSTLER

Once again, Trey has BEEN DROPPING MIXTAPES SINCE HIS FIRST DISC. HE'S BEEN DOING HOOKS AND FEATURES. Actually he really doesn't even dohooks and features as much as he did 2 or 3 years ago. Females been digging Trey. That's who's been buying his album. Like I said, there are about 90kfemales out there who would've bought the album without the Drake affiliation. I think there's about 30-40k of people out there who bought it justbecasue Drake's on it. That's how this *!% works. There are going to be people who buy Drake's album just because Waynes on it. There's goingto be people who buy Cudi's album because Kanye's on it. This *!% isn't new or groundbreaking. Its smart business. I don't know why you dudesthink its so outlandish to think that people bought Trey's album because Drake is featured on a couple of songs.
So you're a Drake fanboy if you think Drake helped him with sales? That sounds more like a realist than a fanboy.Originally Posted by Bigmike23

Why does everyone resort to the fanboy excuse?
Its the truth Drake DID help his sales. Significantly. The proofs in the pudding.

NT just listen to this man...
Alot of yall are denying the facts ROCYAICE is putting down BECAUSE of Drake affiliation with Wayne.
Wayne is like Don Imus to black people on NT
Please stop the hate.. it is so Blatent. its not even funny anymore.
Drake is ALREADY one of the faces of Hip-Hop like it or not.
is "Successful" just had Trey songs on it.. this album would have DEFITNELY not do 135,000+ first week. Now if he dropped "LOL" then whoknows. But either way if Drake is on an album sales are going to SIGNIFIGANTLY boost.

Okay lets say drake did help Trey out a bit, but how much really? 10-15K at most imo. Trey still put in loads of work, who cares if hes always done mixtapesthey havent really caught much attention until the past year. No one really checked for treys freestyles in the past and you all know it. Most people haveloved the recent freestyles and a lot of ladies have caught onto it. He is steadily improving as an artist and regardless of what people say Ready is a greatalbum (minus a couple tracks). Give the man his credit. I understand that Drakes affiliation has helped but its not all because of him. Im sure 135000 peopledidnt say "Hey drake is on 2 tracks from this trey songz album so im going to go drop a 10 dollar bill just to support drakes songs". Realisticalycmon now, a lot of people here at my college are trey fans. So many people play his freestyle tracks at partys, that 'paper planes' freestyle alonegets it crackin at many houseparties ive been too...some people dont even remember that its M.I.A's track. THATS how much hes been killin those trackslately. The truth is, drake helped him yes but Trey deserves 135K for all the work hes put in and his next album will do even better, you can count on thatwhether drake is on it or not.
