People will listen to whatever he puts out apparently

 

[already home_17]

those are terrible numbers all around and nothing to brag about lol

 

[TheNightKing]

You’d have to compare those numbers against others in that genre.

 

[Rickyrich]

This was a good listen wen u takin a shit

 

[The Lonious Monk]

The stories behind all of this are kinda funny. Dre said he used to just play his flutes in different places for fun with no intention of anything coming from it. Then people started noticing him, and they turned it into a social media game on some Where's Waldo type shit. Dre found out about that and being the awkward dude he was got embarrassed and became more secretive about where he played.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the people that bought the album were the ones following all the Dre 3K memes.

...or maybe folks genuinely liked the album

 

[Big_Ev]

...or maybe folks genuinely liked the album

I'm in that boat.

 

[Suckio Andretti]

lol @ showing off that 3k sold more than “real boston richey”

Also I mean, if you don’t release any solo work your entire career being an artist of his stature of course you are going to get blind support over even a flute album

Idk why we are putting a flute album against rap projects as well

 

[5th Letter]

This is a different genre from rap. Why is it being compared?

Then he won a Grammy for a New Age album... That's it.

Kinda like Phonte and Nicolay gettin' nominated after going full blown R&B.

And the Foreign Exchange albums are actually good………..

This is…………….

 

[rip.dilla]

This is a different genre from rap. Why is it being compared?

Because he's known widely as a rapper...

 

[AP3.0]

For the millionth time, the way we consume music today is vastly different from the physical mediums practically all of us grew up with

I still think it's wild 3k streams equals 1 album sale. That shit sounds arbitrary af

 

[5th Letter]

Because he's known widely as a rapper...

Was Deion Sanders baseball stats compared to football player stats?

 

[konceptjones]

Was Deion Sanders baseball stats compared to football player stats?

or his album sales?

 

[rip.dilla]

Was Deion Sanders baseball stats compared to football player stats?

The same way folks have dismissed this album cos they wanted rap bars ... *Shrugs*

 

[rip.dilla]

Anyway listened to the album last week in the library... Only place I believe I could get into it





I have been a jazz head since my early teens so I didn't dismiss this
.. it's aight ...it's music for certain tasks or periods or moods



3/5
