- Fans have mixed feelings on social media about Scott’s rise post-Astroworld incident.
- Sabrina Carpenter throws subtle shade as she competes for the top Billboard spot.
Travis Scott’s rerelease of the classic mixtape ‘Days Before Rodeo’ has exceeded all expectations. With initial projections hinting at nearly 300,000 units sold in its first week, this release could mark the biggest hip-hop debut of 2024.
Originally released in 2014, ‘Days Before Rodeo’ is now available on streaming platforms with a deluxe version. This updated edition includes guest appearances from high-profile names like Young Thug, Quavo, Playboi Carti, and Mike Dean, adding more star power to an already iconic project.
If the first-week sales hit the projected numbers, ‘Days Before Rodeo’ could surpass Eminem’s ‘The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce),’ which sold 281,000 units. This would cement Travis Scott’s comeback in a big way.
When DJ Akademiks shared these projections on Instagram, fan reactions were divided. One person commented, ‘He’d be bigger than Drake if that Astroworld tragedy didn’t happen,’ while others criticized the sales strategy, saying, ‘These are t-shirt bundle sales [laughing emoji]. Album did 20k from streaming numbers. It’s all fugazi.’
Adding to the drama, Sabrina Carpenter, who’s also vying for the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 with her album ‘Short n’ Sweet,’ tweeted, ‘this one’s for nicki,’ in reference to Scott beating Nicki Minaj in 2018 when ‘Astroworld’ outperformed her album ‘Queen.’ This competition only thickens the plot.
Travis Scott’s ‘Days Before Rodeo’ is shaping up to be an unforgettable moment in hip-hop history.
