what would indicate that a yelawolf album would sell "boatloads"
― yo zuccotti (J0rdan S.), Friday, 18 November 2011 21:08 (twelve years ago) link
trunk muzik 0-60 is a pretty good album btw they should've followed that blueprint - "marijuana" is such a dope song

obviously there's a strain of bland 'lyrically lyrical' rap that will sell boatloads, i.e. eminem. there's also the fact that this is obv a 'sell out' attempt, so the thing i'm trying to ascertain in asking about this record is, is this a failed crossover attempt, or is it just failed creatively.
you guys are being unnecessarily condescending chill the fuck out

second and third paragraph there are really funny side by side.

so the thing i'm trying to ascertain in asking about this record is, is this a failed crossover attempt, or is it just failed creatively.
how are these two different things? is it a failed crossover attempt? probably, idk we can all look at yelawolf's numbers and probably ascertain that. is it failed creatively? probably, i guess how much it's failed creatively is up to the listener.

"how are these two different things? "
lupe fiasco, lasers, referred to in my very first post on this particular subject
― Regional Thug (D-40), Friday, 18 November 2011 22:25 (twelve years ago) link
i'm curious if you guys think this has charting potential or not. this isn't a complicated question.
― Regional Thug (D-40), Friday, 18 November 2011 22:26 (twelve years ago) link
yes, this will likely chart but that is largely dependent on snagging some sort of single with radio play and i dunno what the single is atmclearly he can get radio play if he really wants to; getting yr song on a WWE intro is a nice accomplishment.

well "charting potential" and doing lupe fiasco lasers numbers are two very different things

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8iMlDpqk2QJordan, you don't think stations that play staind or limp bizkit won't give this airplay if the mountain dew drenched hoi polloi dig on it?

well, two largely overlapping things. the lupe comparison was just intended to highlight the difference between 'ilx hates this & it feels creatively bankrupt but charts anyway' vs. 'a flop any way you look at it' but keep assuming i'm just a total idiot who thinks that yelawolf will sell exactly lupe numbers if you'd like to continue bogging this thread down in entirely unnecessary sniping & general grumpiness

haha sorry that you asked if yelawolf was going to sell 200k albums this week
― yo zuccotti (J0rdan S.), Friday, 18 November 2011 22:45 (twelve years ago) link
no what you did was drag down the discussion in semantic point-missing & entirely fail to answer the q
― Regional Thug (D-40), Friday, 18 November 2011 22:47 (twelve years ago) link
xxp kroq and FMU i guessbut i guess really i mean people who would played limp bizkit in the day will not be hard to sell on this. could also become a regional thing.

It sounds pretty radio friendly to me, or what I imagine gets played on the radio as I haven't been a radio listener for ages.

"do you think it will crossover. are there any tracks on it you could see charting." "i don't know i guess we'll find out when it happens" -- i don't need you to tell me that in the future, i'll know what happens in the future
― Regional Thug (D-40), Friday, 18 November 2011 22:55 (twelve years ago) link
how is it a stupid question exactly? it pertains directly w/ what we're discussing?
― Regional Thug (D-40), Friday, 18 November 2011 22:56 (twelve years ago) link
i mean, we do this kind of chart prognostication all the time? why is it suddenly stupid?
idk what kind of answer you're looking for? it's probably a failed crossover attempt! seeing as they've basically put out one single, i'm not sure how anyone can say for certain that it is or isn't. is it failed creatively? yeah probably! i think everyone thinks it's by far his worst album, but ppl like me & lex seem to like it more than others.

"do you think it will crossover. are there any tracks on it you could see charting."
my answer was "probably not. yelawolf has never had a charting single before."
― yo zuccotti (J0rdan S.), Friday, 18 November 2011 22:58 (twelve years ago) link
"i don't think this is likely to be successful because" "i do think this will be likely to be successful because" "i'm not sure, because"
or just admit that this argument was a result of kneejerk condescension that had nothing to do w/ my question being supposedly 'stupid'
