Future - 350k

maybe if this was 2013

J. Cole is then maybe Future

TPAB was too artistic for the average person
they wanted shyt that sounded normal like GKMC

Drake is dope tho. Most of his fans 10 years ago were fans of Little Brother.

no, no, no, no, no

Drake fans 10 years ago were at most 10 and def did not listen to Little Brother

Little Brother pretty underground and Drake is waay more popular and recognizable and therefore can draw in new listeners everyday

But his last album sold 850k. Only other people doing that are Drake and Cole. Future sold 350k.

So what if his last album sold 850k, it sold that cause of hype Dude was the biggest rapper of 12-13 and people wanted to see what the next album was going to sound like, sales mean nothing when the impact isn't there Kendrick had it in 12-13 but I rarely see people bump his music now

Lol...what classic record had "mainstream" hits...there are a few..but not many.....TPAB is considered damn near a classic record by many...based on the quality of the music...you fools are trying to make a classic artist based on his popularity...foh with nonsense breh...popularity is not the measurement for greatness...the moment you understand that you will understand what I am trying to convey.

Did u just ask what classic record had mainstream hits ? Mmm how about the Chronic, Doggystyle, Me Against The World, All Eyes On Me, Ready to Die, E.1999, Carter 2 and many more Aint nobody trying to make something classic off popularity but how can you be the next big legendary mainstream rapper like Duckworth is supposed to be and ur shyt is not hitting with just urban radio stations That's like being the next big mainstream legendary rapper but ur pen game sucks

With only 350k albums sold. The rest is streaming. Singles count in streaming. If they didn't, would he be platinum? Gold even? Why can't Future sell albums?
Why aren't people interested in a whole album of Future?

Yep. We now have streaming, which is in some ways a better judge of interest that an artist generates. But they screw it up by tacking single streams onto album streams.

Also, the fact that Kendrick sold nearly three times as many albums as Future is pretty significant. Not to mention the fact that he did it without hits. Shows he has a different, more personal relationship with his fans. They want a whole project from Kendrick and are willing to pay for it. Not to mention a larger fanbase.

or it shows interscope/aftermath/tde bought some albums
