I disagree, most of the posts surrounding Clipse or Pusha T numbers are from his haters/Drake fans..

Yes I would hope all my favorite artists perform well on the charts as I want them to keep delivering music..

But those numbers offer no validation of the level of their artistry to the audience of a Pusha T or Clipse, that's the difference.

A Pusha T fan would never use his chart performance to explain why he's a good artist. They just enjoy the music.

A Travis Scott fan may say, "hey, he just did 200k first week, everybody listens to him, so of course he makes great music."
Worddddddddddd

Arguments surrounding numbers rarely revolve around them being a good artist. It is validation for fans. Same goes for reviews. Fans feel validated by these things, which is they continue to drive discussion. I've never seen a fan base the quality of music on numbers. When fans do bring up numbers, its to justify relevance, impact, and appeal. So even if it isn't admitted, numbers do matter.
