Some of yall
If you actually followed him he has said SINCE THE BEGINNING that he didn't care where the album landed. When the projections came out he said he didn't care he wanted people to just focus on the music.
Hell he is on a "tour" across the country just randomly visiting his twitter followers and bringing them lunch
no performances or anything.
Even in "Note To Self" he mentions NUMEROUS times that he didnt do it for the sales. Thats why he chose to release this way.
And the no features, no singles bit is in reference to him not having ANY features on his album, and not releasing any singles prior to the album being released. He did 350k just because people wanted to buy his music.
So yes the numbers are humbling because he did better than he thought he could ever do but then again its something that he never was looking at in the first place. Yall need to STOP.
EDIT: Alot of the music this year WAS trash.
So no, he wasn't lying. The ones who are butt hurt over his comment are the hit dogs HOLLERING
