_'s really in here tryna compare the sales of a legit album in stores that Gates been continuously promoting for 6+ months to a project that changed from SS3 (a mixtape) to I'm Up (a faux "album") a few days before the release?
Judging by the press kit that got sent to all the blogs/media outlets,
they didn't even know that **** was an "album"
Most of them referred to it as a mixtape and gave the Datpiff link to download, which is were I downloaded it from. Somewhere down the line I guess they figured they could cash out on _'s so they cut the download link and tried to force peoples hand
Thug's "brand" is just ran super sloppy in general and this latest release was a big *** example of that especially compared to Gates whose **** is A1 and ran very well
