Video: WZRD ft. Desire – Teleport 2 Me Jamie
Even though Kid Cudi and Dot Da Genius‘ WZRD album wasn’t as great as many Cudder fans expected, this visual is sure to give your thoughts a stir. This trippy a$$ video surely gets two thumbs up from KillerHipHop.

R.I.P. CD’s
Wiz Khalifa’s Taylor Allderdice mixtape once again showed us the power of digital music, and how powerless physical music is. Khalifa’s Taylor Allderdice almost immediately crashed DatPiff due to the thousands of fans rushing to download Khalifa’s first solo project since Rolling Papers. Rostrum Records CEO, Benjy Grinberg, tweeted that Khalifa’s DatPiff page was getting over 20,000 refreshes a second! LiveMixtapes soon followed and crashed as well. In total, Khalifa Man took down two websites in a matter of 15 minutes. Although these numbers are impressive, they shouldn’t really surprise anybody anymore. Rick Ross’ Rich Forever crashed LiveMixtapes itself. Led by “Stay Schemin'”, Rozay had every blog in the sphere buzzing. These events combined with the Careless World & WZRD stats, reassure that physical music is no longer necessary to survive in this era. The physical CD is irrelevant, just like any artist who completely relies on it.

WZRD First Week Sales Projections
After analyzing first day sales, the folks over at HDD predict that Kid Cudi & Dot Da Genius’ WZRD will sell between 70K-80K copies in its first week. Earlier this week, Kid Cudi accused his label of under shipping WZRD, by saying that they only sent out 55,000 physical copies. So far the numbers look pretty solid. Nothing to rage about here.
Maino’s The Day After Tomorrow is not expected to surpass 15,000 copies in its first week.
