Who said she wasn't?
I've said like 10 times that 40 was regional in this thread.
You thought E-40 was doing 100k an album back in the 90s (if you even knew he was around back then). Just take your L breh.
And now he's ducking and runningMakes sense. I figured you were out of touch and still rambling.
Good convo breh

Look at you giddy about a sales convo
All the times on The Coli you say sales are irrelevant and not worth talking about. Are you switching like a bytch when it's convenient?
Because that's spooky
People use the term regional in a variety of ways and it gets confusing.what is it with thecoli callin nikkas with gold and platinum plaques regional?
does not being played up north = regional? cause if we wanna talk about what aint getting burn down south or on the west, feelings getting hurt
Very few artists back in the 90s were getting nationwide "urban" daytime radio play.
The video shows evened out the playing field for all regions.
The east always had "real" hip hop heads almost everywhere. You could fail to go gold in the East and not be regional.
Most people in there regions fukked primarily with what was hot in their region. Most people aren't really hip hop fans like that.
In the South and (to a lesser extent the Bay) you could go gold (maybe even platinum) and still be "regional". People in those markets bought albums more for whatever reason. I'm from the Bay and I never knew anyone who had a 8Ball and MJG or UGK album - but they were going gold in the mid 90s.

That's not why I brought it up. I brought it up to counter the idea that you could be a hip hop fan (I guess in the US) in the 90s and not know who 40 was. You may have hated his music (seems a lot of people did
) but you knew who he was

branding yourself as an internet meme has nothing to do with being a rapper, so yea, lil b might be more known than 40, but you said he's more influential as a rapper which is lies...stop
several trash artists from this generation has taken lessons from Lil B...I never said it was a good thing...imitations are never as good as the original...TYBG
Have you read the thread title? We're talking about who is the better artist. Obviously quality is going to be the number one measure.
So which one is it breh? Sales are relevant/irrelevant?

marketing/online presence - yes, rapping, nah. style - maybe if i'm thinking about nikkas like young thug, then again, them young niggs is just gay in the A so I can't say they're emulating anyone in particular
