I don't know why people are surprised at the less than expected US album sales. An 8 song album selling for an extortionate amount, running less than 25 minutes (a song from two years ago, two songs bought from other artists and one a solo?) It's a con!
A lazy effort from YG and Teddy. They overestimated themselves and underestimated their fans.
I'm one of those fans that didn't buy the album this time around. I bought several copies of The Album and Lalisa EP that are still in their original packaging and sitting in the back of the cupboard. I don't care about physical albums or photocards so when I buy, I buy it just to support my faves. This time around I couldn't justify spending over £50 on an album with 7 new tracks, which is just going to sit in my cupboard.
More so I don't want to hand over money to a company that doesn't respect their fans enough to give them an album that lasts more than half an hour.
This on top of the Lisa solo debacle has left a sour taste in my mouth. YG/Teddy are greedy fckers that could care less about the fans. It's all about milking fans dry. Like how is it that a group that came back after a two year hiatus barely has any live performances or any kind of content? Where is the promo?
Anyway I'll continue streaming on Spotify, its a good album but sadly never hits its stride seeing as it ends before it even began.
Maybe I'm being harsh, but YG/Teddy don't deserve that no. 1.
