According to first week sales projections, Kanye West's "Yeezus" leads the way with J. Cole's "Born Sinner" and Mac Miller's "Watching Movies with the Sound Off" trailing Yeezy.

J. Cole may not like first week sales reports but they are in regarding this much-discussed week in Hip Hop. Billboard has released a new report featuring projections for this week, placing Kanye West at the top of the list.

According to the report, Kanye West's Yeezus will lead the way with 360,000-380,000 copies sold. As expected by many who projected earlier this month, J. Cole's Born Sinner follows with 150,000-200,000. Mac Miller trails with his latest offering, Watching Movies with the Sound Off, coming in third with approximately 100,000 copies sold.

J. Cole recently said he was not fond of first week sales reports. Via Twitter, the rapper said that they are ruining Hip Hop.

J. Cole, really, bitching about 200K is pretty pointless. 200K isn't bad at all.

Maybe everybody can shut the FUCK up with this 'white sells' theory now then, considering Mac Miller is a semi-popular white rapper and out of these three he's selling the LEAST.

This should forever put to bed the white sells' or 'Eminem is as big as he is due to being white' theory; skin colour has fuck allllllllllllllll to do with it. It's music.

He's not bitching about his numbers. He's saying he personally cares more about what the fans think than what he sells in comparison to Yeezy and Mac.

With that said, 200k would be a solid number for him haha.

Mac selling 100k damn
What the fuck happends with Yela and SH? Damn they flopped so fucking hard with their sales.
I wanted an album so rugged nobody could touch it.
Spent a million a track and went over my budget.
Now how in the fuck am I supposed to get out of debt?
I can't rap anymore, I just murdered the alphabet.

Great numbers to be honest... Kanye still did it regardless I guess. Another plat plaque for him & another gold one for Cole in the process.
