These are not valid arguments... Everybody's frame of reference is different

We all live different lives and have different social circles....just because you/one person hasn't heard it doesn't mean other people haven't ...stop being so myopic ...this planet is bigger than you and your social circle/work environment

Young Thug will blow, he isn't there yet.... He's just getting started and Birdman sees it

August Alsina did blow up though
isn't that what i said... it's not about me.. really more people know him and heard of him than my social circle.. of course... but the point is.. and in YOUR own words.. he WILL blow... meaning he hasn't yet

i didn't say he never will.. i didn't say he was a nobody.. i said he ain't BLOWN yet.. you agreed.. no argument

Dont even bother, I realized homeboy was a clown the moment he made his second post.

I didnt even bother pulling up songs like "My nikka" or "Or Nah" or "Loyal" "Dont Tellem" etc. cause I knew it would be like talking to a brick wall

Some of these guys be in their own world.
all those songs were on my list.. you didn't bother to reply cause none of those charted either

problem is y'all going by YOUR circles, and your stations and your clubs

not realizing how fukking hard it is to make a NATIONAL hit and get national spins and get 300k sales on an album

everything is not "blown" cause you heard it on the radio for 6 months

for example

my hitta sold 2x plat... never even came close to a top 10 song in rap or in general


"My nikka" debuted at number 67 on the Billboard Hot 100 the week of October 19, 2013. Six weeks later, it peaked at number 19 on the week of November 30, 2013. It stayed in the Top 30 for fourteen weeks before reaching number 19 again on the week of March 15, 2014. It spent a total of twenty-eight weeks on the chart.



and then all that and his album does what:


The album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 61,000 copies in the United States.[72] In its second week of release, the album sold 23,000 more copies in the United States.[73] In its third week of release, the album sold 16,000 more copies.[74] In its fourth week, the album sold 12,000 more copies.[75] As of December 7, 2014, the album has sold 174,000 copies in the United States.[76]

that's not blowing up to me... sorry

but it's not tho

i go off numbers.. numbers don't lie.. 5th is the highest it got.. like i said, don't take personal perception as national facts... and if it couldn't even be #1 on the rap charts. what's the likelihood that people that only LISTEN to rap and not do googles about it... what's the chance they have no clue who actually raps that song

I honestly don't care about which artists is going to blow up in 2014, if I see any good artists along the way Ill give them attention but right now I focus on the memories I have of good artists of the past.

Yes I'm wrong. It is just those two

No I'm not wrong. Cause it again didn't sell shyt nor top any charts

Give it up. Dudes yall claim blow up couldn't even get the #1 song on the rap charts all year. Let alone a gold record. Or 250k in sales.
