What exactly am i wrong about? Be exact please


U said if the country felt that Nas' Illmatic was GOAT then it wouldnt have taken 7 years to go platinum. But KRS, G Rap and Kane never went platinum yet those 3 names have been given the nods for the GOAT title. thats how u are wrong.

:comeon:


I was refering to Billboard singles but...

...Since when has a Drake album sold 4 mil??





It Was Written is the second studio album by American rapper Nas, released July 2, 1996 on Columbia Records in the United States
The album proved to be Nas’s most commercially successful release, debuting at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart. It also heralded Nas’s mainstream popularity and followed the success of other mafioso rap albums such as Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… (1995) and Reasonable Doubt (1996). However, his stylistic changes and increased mainstream success fostered accusations of selling out within the hip hop community. It has been viewed by music writers as one of Nas's best records and remains Nas' best-selling release, with over 4 million copies in the United States alone.
:whoa:
No source for that 4 million, the official source says 2 million. Both I am and IWW did about the same numbers.
Drake is the biggest rapper in the game moving 2 million copies, when the biggest pop artists in the game like Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Beyonce and them are doing under 2 million copies. Nas did 2 million when multiple cats where doing diamond plus, 35 albums sold more than 10 million in the states between 94 and 2000, 1 album has moved that during the past 10 years. Even cats like Silk The Shocker were moving close to 2 million back then :dahell:


Drake is making 40 million dollar in one year, he's on another level of buzz. That's pretty irrelevant though, and really only relevant for Drake and his investors.

So in Hip Hop..are u saying Drake is bigger then Nas??

You gonna put Drakes 7 years up against Nas' 20 years??
Bigger what? Popstar? yes.
More popular? Yes.
Bigger artist, as in greatness? No.

Just like Bob Dylan never moved more than 2 million copies when certain rock bands were doing 20 and shyt but he still ranks as top 5 greatest on most lists.

Drake's highest position on the charts is #2 (he's never had a #1 single)

Panda is right now #2

#DesiignerNest :wow:

Drake has 2 #1 singles b/c of his features. Both were rih songs.

He also has a #1 song in the UK right now.

So, he's had a #1, but just not w/o being featured & in the US.

Nas, one of my two favorite rappers ever, was never as big as Drake is right now. You're being ridiculous. Nas was never even as big as Kendrick is right now.

Funny cause of how hard drakes trying still to get that #1
best part is the Weeknd preventing Hotline bling from getting the number 1

drake even made that corny ass ig post about needing his first #1 single coming in October

justice for what Drake did to him :wow:

LOL...do the math tho

Nas was more popular then Drake from 1994 till around 2010 Thats 16 years of popularity.

U gonna really put the 7 years Drake been popping up against Nas' 16 ?? :russ:
You can't just go of one metric like length of career :what:
Fabolous is as popular as Eminem in that case, Drake as The Beatles, Asap Rocky as BIG.

Drake has been the #1 or #2 rapper for 7 straight years like top 5 artist in any genre, not just on average but every single year. I mean you've really got to hate dude if you are even trying to argue about this.
