Tyler, The Creator Goblin Album
Tyler, The Creator and his Odd Future crew could have something to celebrate next week (as if they need another reason to party).
According to projections from hitsdailydouble.com, Tyler, The Creator’s Goblin album is on pace to sell between 45,000-50,000 copies in its first week of sales.
The numbers are based off of first day sales figures for the album that was released on Tuesday (May 10th).
That’s not bad for an independent rap artist in 2011.
Just to compare, Soulja Boy’s The DeAndre Way album sold about 13,000 copies in its first week last year.
We’ll check back when the official first week sales numbers are released next week.
It seems like working hard to promote his album, and nearly getting arrested will pay off in the end for Tyler, The Creator.
THE ALBUM ‘SELF MADE’ IN STORES MAY 23RD.

Microsoft Corp. agreed to buy Internet phone company Skype Technologies SA for $8.5 billion in cash- the most aggressive move yet by Microsoft to play in the increasingly converged worlds of communication, information and entertainment.
Buying Skype would give Microsoft a potentially valuable communications tool as it tries to make a bigger impact on the Internet and become a bigger force in the smartphone market.
The sellers include eBay and private equity firms Silver Lake and Andreessen Horowitz.
Skype has about 663 million users worldwide. According to documents, Skype users made 207 billion minutes of voice and video calls last year.
Most people use Skype’s free calling services, which has made it difficult for the service to make money since entrepreneurs Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis started the company in 2003

While rap artist, actor and writer Tupac Shakur was locked up for 11 months in 1995, he wrote a screenplay called Live 2 Tell. Over 15 years later, his vision will be brought to life. Tupac’s mother, Afeni Shakur, is working on the film with NStar Studios and the production team that put together the ’03 documentary Tupac: Ressurection.
Live 2 Tell is about a young drug dealer who gets caught up in a life of crime, a message that is still relevant in 2011. No word on any big named actors yet, but the film only has a budget of $11 Million and is scheduled to go in to production in 2012. STAY TUNED to GWOP Magazine for updates.
