Starting point is 00:00:00 With Trippy Red putting out this album titled A Love Letter for You Five, I'm interested to know if the person that he's writing all these love letters to, if they love him back, because this is a lot of effort being put forth, and I think the energy should be reciprocated in some form of fashion. With that being said, let's get into the timeline of Trippie Red and his first week sales, because I have some projections for this album as, I don't know if it's a little bit of, looking good or if he's looking horrendous. So, 2023 Mansion Music, this man sold 58,000 first week.
Starting point is 00:00:40 The album before that trip at night, 2021, he sold 106,000 first week. The reason why I read that off is because he's had significant drops in the past, like a love letter to you 2017, so 69,000 first week, right? And in 2018, he had 131,000 first week. 2019 was a deluxe. I don't count. 21, 106,000, 2023, 58,000. And now, 20, actually,
Starting point is 00:01:16 Matching Music came out this year. I thought that came out last year. Let me see. Mansion Music album. Wow, that did come out this year. January 20. 2023 This man is under 10K projects
Starting point is 00:01:36 That's actually kind of interesting Anyways, I bring that up to say That I don't think that Trippy Red is falling off But I do believe it's a discussion Because he had everybody and the mama On mansion music Like you would have thought that was like Gonna be his biggest or his highest selling album
Starting point is 00:01:51 Now as always, as you see with DJ Callet year after year Having the biggest names Doesn't mean you're going to sell the most Just because you have Drake doing a give you a track every two seconds doesn't mean that you're going to outsell everybody who also has a Drake track like it's just gonna they're not they're not equal Travis Scott's meltdown track it's not the same as Drake and his track he had with um he did a track with some afro be artists I believe anyways you get what I'm saying everybody who has the biggest
Starting point is 00:02:25 artist on their project is not gonna sell the same like it's all about the marketing and the rollout up to that. So with Trippy Red selling Mansion Music, selling 58,000 with Mansion Music in the same year that he's putting out this album is pretty interesting because having all these features
Starting point is 00:02:44 on Mansion music from Chief Keith, yes, Chief Keith himself, Future on here multiple times. Travis Scott on here, Baby, on here twice, Little Dirk. Like, what is the budget for Trippy Red? Or are they just doing it off the love?
Starting point is 00:02:59 Because there ain't no way you're paying little babies feature price two times and in future two times that's just a lot but um i'm thinking this is based off relationships ain't no way he's paying out because on his label i saw 10k projects like i don't know if they have the money for all that so i think it's off the relationships and i'm interested to see if he goes the little yadi route we'll focus him more on the business side because it seems like he has the actual relationships where they will actually work with him even though he's not the highest selling artist but granted it 20, 21, 2019, 2018, he was always selling triple digits as far as first week sales.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Matchy music this year was the first time he sold under triple digits with 58,000 first week. And now with the latest album, which a lot of people may not care as much because it's a continuation off of a love letter. And I guess they may just want to hear trippy. But this man also has features on this album as well. granted it is in the same year so maybe you don't want to like double back and ask them for another feature after you got two in the same year so a love letter for you five has a lot of more um niche type artists like sky morales corbin who else, Tommy Lee Sparta, but he also has the killer, Ray, Ritey Rich, and Little Wayne. So what I'm saying is his relationships is on point,
Starting point is 00:04:21 but these sales, if they start dip into a certain point, not to make fun of, like, his sales, but I think artists would notice and stop actually collaborating with Trippie Red. So now I'm thinking it has to get to a point where his business, mind, and his relationships with other, artists who have to shine through because these sales are not it selling 58,000 with mansion music. I'm not going to say it's like not a lot. That's bad.
Starting point is 00:04:51 That's not good with the future little baby on there twice, Trippie Red, like, oh, not trippy Red. Travis Scott is very interesting how that happened. So with this latest album, I do believe that he's, I don't know, he's set for an interesting first week. I don't know what he's going to sell. I actually can't call it with this one. usually I can give a pretty good estimation
Starting point is 00:05:15 but I don't want to say Trippy Red's falling off so I don't want to say anything around 60 to 70 but I'm also not going to say oh he's going to sell 100 so we're going to have to wait and see but I do think Trippy Red is in a peculiar situation where his music career trajectory is definitely in jeopardy so anyways click my link to your bio
Starting point is 00:05:36 let me know in one of my social media is what do you think about Trippy Red dropping his latest album a love letter to U5 on all DSPs and will you be giving it? Listen.
