It’s been a struggle for Tyga to even release his fourth LP, The Gold Album: 18th Dynasty, as he’s been battling Birdman and Cash Money for a date since, like, 2013. To that end, the fact that it’s even out for his fans to finally hear is surely a relief. No number or first-week stat can change that. At least, hopefully that’s his state of mind, because the sales are in and there are no gold plaques in sight for the Gold Album. Tyga surprised fans with a surprise Spotify stream last Tuesday, but he, along with pretty much every famous friend in his rolodex, tweeted an iTunes link the following Friday. Even with the entire Kardashian clan behind them, and a DONDA designed cover, and Kanye West as executive producer, Tyga’s sales are dismal with only 2,200 album copies sold since its release.
